In comp.lang.javascript message <je1ocf$e6m$1@dont-email.me>, Wed, 4 Jan 2012 09:40:15, "Dave \"Crash\" Dummy" <invalid@invalid.invalid> posted: > >The trouble with "file type" as stored in the registry and read by >"objFile.type" is that it can be and often is changed by applications. For >example, on my computer the ".bmp" file mentioned above is a "Paint >Shop >Pro 5 Image," not a "Paint.Picture." The fact that the Type string can be changed provides a good reason for having a convenient way to read the Type string. Typically, MS make it harder to tell by code whether a file's Type is known or not by putting an uninformative but readable string where they could more easily have put an empty string or a recognisable language- independent one such as "-". No-one has actually answered the question. Let's try another. The CScript in question is started from the DOS-box command-line and writes lines to the screen - it would run perfectly well on an ASR33 teletype. At present, if started in WScript, it exits leaving a small note. It would be nice to allow execution by WScript, with GUI output; but, to be worth doing, it would be necessary for there to be an easy way of creating and writing (line by line) to something resembling an HTML textarea. Is that available, and if so how is it done or where do I need to look? -- (c) John Stockton, nr London UK. ?@merlyn.demon.co.uk DOS 3.3 6.20 ; WinXP.
