Hi,
I recently installed version 5 of the windows scripting runtime and was
playing with writing scripts for windows(the windows scripting host).
This got me thinking about how JFW 3.3 allows you to create objects and the
scripting engine provides a number of objects that give useful information
about windows. As an initial script along these lines for JFW 3.3 I wrote a
script to get the free space on drive C.
If you install version 5 of the scripting runtime you can add the following
script to your default.jss file and attach it to a key(I used alt+shift+f).
Now when ever I press the alt+shift+f combination I get a report of free space
on drive C no matter where I am in windows.
This is just a beginning of what can be done with the objects made available
through the scripting host.
If you want to give it a try, and have the scripting files installed, paste
the following function into default.jss and attach it to a key.
Script GetFreeSpace ()
var
Object fso,
Object d,
String s
let fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
let d = fso.GetDrive(fso.GetDriveName("c:"))
let s = "Available space on drive C = "
let s = s + IntToString (d.AvailableSpace/1024)
let S = s + " KBytes"
saystring (s)
EndScript
Let me know what everyone thinks.
