Hi,

I'm fairly new at writing scripts. I've written a few, but still feel like I have a lot to learn. What advice would you give me about writing scripts, using pre-written scritps or anything else as it relates to scripting? Any help/advice you can offer would be extremely beneficial.

Thanks!

Hi johnnycash,

I can recommend both scripting books by Tim Hill (you can search amazon.com for the author's name), but I wish they were a bit more up-to-date. His shell scripting book is based on Windows NT 4.0 and is missing some important Cmd.exe features present in Windows 2000 and later. His WSH book is based on the the release version of Windows 2000 and is thus missing some WSH 5.6 features that appeared in IE 6 and later (most notably, the WshArguments object). The other drawback to the WSH book is that it's based on VBScript. But they're both good books.

HTH,

Bill
