Abs Function

Abs function
Returns the absolute value.
Abs (number)
The number argument can be any valid numeric expression. If number contains Null, return
Null; if it is an uninitialized variable, zero is returned.
Explain
The absolute value is its unsigned magnitude. For example, Abs (-1) and Abs (1) returns 1.
The following example uses the Abs function to compute the absolute value of:
Dim MyNumber
MyNumber = Abs (50.3) 'returns 50.3.
MyNumber = Abs (-50.3) 'returns 50.3.
Returns an array of Variant.
Array (arglist)
arglist argument is assigned to a Variant containing the array elements in a list of values
(separated by commas). If you do not specify this parameter, you will create a zero-length
array.
Explain
Used to refer to array elements of said symbol, followed by the composition of the variable
name in brackets, braces indicate required elements included in the index. In the following
example, the first statement creates a variable named A. The second statement assigns an
array variable A. The last statement will be included in the second array element value is
assigned to another variable.
Dim A
A = Array (10,20,30)
B = A (2) 'B is now 30.
Note that the variable is not declared as an array can still contain an array. Although a Variant
variable containing an array with array variable containing Variant elements are conceptually
different, but the access array elements are the same.
Requirements
Version 2
Asc function
Please refer to the
Chr function
Requirements
Version 1
Returns a string corresponding to the first letter of the ANSI character code.
Asc (string)
string argument is any valid string expression. If the string contains no characters, a runtime
error occurs.
Explain
The following example, Asc returns a string first letter of each ANSI character code:
Dim MyNumber
MyNumber = Asc ("A") 'Return 65.
MyNumber = Asc ("a") 'Return 97.
MyNumber = Asc ("Apple") 'Return 65.
Note AscB function and contains the byte data strings. AscB not return the first character of
the character code, but returns the first byte. AscW use Unicode characters for 32-bit
platforms available. It returns the Unicode (wide) character code, thereby avoiding the code
from ANSI to Unicode conversion.
Requirements
Version 1
Atn function
Returns the arctangent of the value.
Atn (number)
The number argument can be any valid numeric expression.
Explain
Atn function calculating the ratio of two sides of a right triangle (number) and returns the
corresponding angle in radians. This ratio is the length and angle on the edge of the adjacent
side length ratio. The results range from-pi / 2 to pi / 2 radians.
Transformed into the angle of curvature of the arc is multiplied by pi/180. On the contrary,
changing the angle in radians is the angle multiplied by 180/pi.
The following example uses Atn to calculate the value of pi:
Dim pi
pi = 4 * Atn (1) 'calculate the value of pi.
Note Atn is Tan (angle as a parameter to return the ratio of both sides of a right triangle) the
inverse trigonometric functions. Do not confuse Atn with the cotangent (tangent of the
reciprocal (1/tangent)) function.
Requirements
Version 1
Pass control to a Sub or Function procedure.
[Call] name [argumentlist]

Parameter
Call
Optional keyword. If you specify this keyword, you must use parentheses to enclose
argumentlist. For example:
Call MyProc (0)
name
Required. To invoke the procedure name.
argumentlist
Available options. Passed to the process variable, array or list of expressions, each separated
by a comma.
Explain
When calling a procedure, do not use the Call keyword. However, if the request parameters
using the Call keyword to call the process, you must use parentheses to enclose argumentlist.
If you omit the Call keyword, you must also omit the parentheses around argumentlist
parameters. Use Call syntax to call an internal function or user-defined function, the function
return value is discarded.
Call MyFunction ("Hello World")

Function MyFunction (text)
MsgBox text
End Function
Requirements
Version 1
Returns an expression that has been converted to Boolean subtype Variant.
CBool (expression)
expression is any valid expression.
Explain
If expression is zero, then return False; otherwise returns True. If the expression can not be
interpreted as a value, then a runtime error occurs.
The following example uses the CBool function to an expression into a Boolean type. If the
expression calculated value is nonzero, then the CBool function returns True; otherwise it
returns False.
Dim A, B, Check
A = 5: B = 5 'Initialize variables.
Check = CBool (A = B) 'check box is set to True.
A = 0 'define variables.
Check = CBool (A) 'check box is set to False.
Requirements
Version 1
CByte (expression)
expression argument is any valid expression.
Explain
Typically, you can use to write code type conversion functions to show the result of some
operation should be expressed as a specific data type, instead of the default type. For
example, where currency, single, double, or integer arithmetic cases, the use CByte enforce
byte operations.
CByte function used for other data types to a Byte from the sub-types of the internationally
recognized format. For example, different decimal separators (such as thousand separators)
are properly recognized depending on the locale settings.
If the Byte subtype expression in the acceptable range, the error occurs. The following
example uses the CByte function to convert expression byte:
Dim MyDouble, MyByte

MyDouble = 125.5678 'MyDouble is a double value.
MyByte = CByte (MyDouble) 'MyByte contains 126.
Requirements
Version 1
CCur (expression)
Explain
Typically, you can use the subtype conversion functions to write code to display the result of
some operation should be expressed as a particular data type rather than the default data
type. For example, in the case of integer arithmetic, use CCur to force currency arithmetic.
CCur function from any other data type to a Currency subtype of the internationally recognized
format. For example, different decimal separators and thousands separators are properly
recognized depending on the locale settings.
The following example uses the CCur function to convert an expression Currency type:
Dim MyDouble, MyCurr

MyDouble = 543.214588 'MyDouble is double precision.
MyCurr = CCur (MyDouble * 2) 'to MyDouble * 2 (1086.429176) the result is converted to
Currency (1086.4292).
Requirements
Version 1
Returns an expression that has been converted to a Date subtype Variant.
CDate (date)
date argument is any valid date expression.
Explain
IsDate function to determine if date can be converted to a date or time. CDate recognizes date
literals and time literals as well as some dates in the acceptable range of numbers. In the
digital conversion to date, the integer portion is converted to date, from the fractional part is
converted to the time since midnight.
Depending on the system locale CDate recognizes date formats. If the data set the date format
can not be identified, it can not determine the year, month, day of the correct order. In
addition, if the long date format string that contains the day of the week, it can not be
identified.
The following example uses the CDate function to convert strings into date type. Generally not
recommended to use hardware decode dates and times as strings (example below is
reflected). The use of time and date text (such as # 10/19/1962 #, # 4:45:23 PM #).
MyDate = "October 19, 1962" 'defined date.

MyShortDate = CDate (MyDate) 'into a date data type.
MyTime = "4:35:47 PM" 'definition of time.
MyShortTime = CDate (MyTime) 'into a date data type.
Requirements
Version 1
Returns an expression that has been converted to a Double subtype of Variant.
CDbl (expression)
Explain
type. For example, where currency or integer arithmetic in the case, use CDbl or CSng function
to force double-precision or single-precision arithmetic.
CDbl function is used to from other data type to Double subtype of internationally recognized
format. For example, decimal separators and thousands separators are properly recognized
depending on the locale settings.
The following example uses the CDbl function to convert expression to a Double.
Dim MyCurr, MyDouble

MyCurr = CCur (234.456784) 'MyCurr the Currency type (234.4567).
MyDouble = CDbl (MyCurr * 8.2 * 0.01) 'the result is converted to type Double (19.2254576).
Requirements
Version 1
Returns the specified ANSI character code corresponding to the characters.
Chr (charcode)
charcode parameter is the number of characters can be identified.
Explain
From 0 to 31 numerical standard is not printable ASCII code. For example, Chr (10) return line
feed.
The following example uses the Chr function returns the character code specified by the
corresponding characters:
Dim MyChar
MyChar = Chr (65) 'Return A.
MyChar = Chr (97) 'returns a.
MyChar = Chr (62) 'return>.
MyChar = Chr (37) 'return.
Note ChrB function and contained in a string of bytes of data together. ChrB not return one or
two-byte characters, but always returns a single byte characters. ChrW is to use Unicode
characters in the 32-bit platforms. Its argument is a Unicode (wide character) character code,
thereby avoiding the ANSI into Unicode characters.
Requirements
Version 1
Returns an expression that has been converted to an Integer subtype of Variant.
CInt (expression)
Explain
example, in the event of currency, single-precision or double precision arithmetic in the case,
use CInt or CLng to force integer arithmetic.
CInt function to provide from other data type to an Integer subtype of an internationally
If the Integer subtype expression outside the acceptable range, an error occurs.
The following example uses the CInt function to convert the value to Integer:
Dim MyDouble, MyInt

MyDouble = 2345.5678 'MyDouble is Double.
MyInt = CInt (MyDouble) 'MyInt contains 2346.
Note CInt differs from the Fix and Int functions remove the fractional part of value, instead of
using the rounding mode. When the fractional part is exactly equal to 0.5, CInt always be
rounded to the nearest even number. For example, 0.5 rounds to 0, and 1.5 rounds to 2.
Requirements
Version 1
Declare a class name, and the composition of the class variable, properties and methods
defined.

Required. One or more statements, the definition of Class variables, properties and methods.
Explain
In the Class block, members through its corresponding opening statement is declared as
Private or Public. Is declared as Private will only be visible within the Class block. Be declared
as Public, not only in Class is visible within the block of code outside the Class block is visible.
Private or Public is not used by default explicitly declared as Public. Within the class block the
process of being declared as Public (Sub or Function) will become the class. Public variables will
be the class of property, with the use of Property Get, Property Let and Property Set explicit
statement of the same attributes. The default class properties and methods are part of their
statement specified with the Default keyword. On how to use the keyword, refer to a separate
declaration statement topics.
Requirements
Version 5
Returns an expression that has been converted to a Long subtype of Variant.
CLng (expression)
Explain
type. For example, in the event of currency operations, single-or double-precision arithmetic in
the case, use CInt or CLng to force integer arithmetic functions.
CLng function used for other data types from the Long subtype of the internationally
recognized format. For example, different decimal separators and thousands separators are
properly recognized depending on the locale settings.
If the value is not in Long subtype expression within the allowed range, an error occurs.
The following example uses the CLng function to convert the value of Long:
Dim MyVal1, MyVal2, MyLong1, MyLong2
MyVal1 = 25427.45: MyVal2 = 25427.55 'MyVal1, MyVal2 is double-precision values.
MyLong1 = CLng (MyVal1) 'MyLong1 25427.
MyLong2 = CLng (MyVal2) 'MyLong2 include 25428.
Note CLng differs from the Fix and Int functions remove the fractional part, but a rounded way.
When the fractional part is exactly equal to 0.5, CLng function always be the number rounded
to the nearest even number. For example, 0.5 rounds to 0, and 1.5 rounds to 2.
Requirements
Version 1
Declaration for a constant value instead of text.
[Public | Private] Const constname = expression

Parameter
Public
Available options. This keyword is used to declare in the Script class can be used for all
procedures in all scripts constant. Not allowed to use in the process.
Private
Available options. This keyword is used in the script level to declare the statement can only be
used where the script constant. Not allowed to use in the process.
constname
Required. Constant name, according to the standard variable naming conventions.
expression
Required. Text or other constant, or include in addition to outside Is all arithmetic operators
and logical operators in any combination.
Explain
By default, constants are shared. The proprietary process is always constant, and its visibility
can not be changed. Script, the script can be used to change the Private keyword-class
constant visibility of the default values.
In the same line to declare several constants, can be a comma separate each constant
assignment. When declaring a constant in this way, if you use a Public or Private keyword, the
keyword of the line all the constants are valid.
Constant declaration can not use variables, user-defined function or VBScript internal
functions (such as Chr). By definition, they can not be constant. Also do not contain operators
from creating a constant expression, that is only allowed to use a simple constant. In the Sub
or Function statement during the process of constant local constant. Constant in the process is
declared outside the declaration where the script global constants. Can be used in any place
with a constant expression. The following code illustrates how to use the Const statement:
Const MyVar = 459 'constant default to the public.

Private Const MyString = "HELP" 'definition of private constant.
Const MyStr = "Hello", MyNumber = 3.4567 'define multiple constants on a single line.

The Cos function
Returns the cosine of an angle.
Cos (number)
The number argument can be any angle in radians to a valid numeric expression.
Explain
The Cos function to take an angle and returns the ratio of both sides of a right triangle. This
ratio is a right triangle in the corner of the adjacent side length ratio of the length of the
hypotenuse. The results range from -1 to 1.
Angle into radians method is to use the angle multiplied by pi/180. On the contrary, the angle
into radians is radians multiplied by 180/pi.
The following example uses the Cos function returns the cosine of an angle:
Dim MyAngle, MySecant
MyAngle = 1.3 'definition of an angle in radians.
MySecant = 1 / Cos (MyAngle) 'calculated secant.
Creates and returns a reference to the Automation object.
CreateObject (servername.typename [, location])

Parameter
servername
Required. Application providing the object name.
typename
Required. To create an object type or class.
location
Available options. Network server where the object will be created.
Explain
Automation servers provide at least one type of object. For example, word processing
applications can provide an application object, document object and tool bar object.
To create an Automation object, use the CreateObject function returns the object is assigned
to an object variable:
Dim ExcelSheet
Set ExcelSheet = CreateObject ("Excel.Sheet")
The code starts to create the object (in this instance, is a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet)
application. Object is created, you can use the code defined in the object variable referencing
this object. In the following example, you can use the object variable, ExcelSheet and other
Excel objects, including the Application object and the Cells collection to access the new
object's properties and methods. For example:
'Throughout the Excel Application object are visible.

ExcelSheet.Application.Visible = True
'Some text into the first worksheet cell.
ExcelSheet.ActiveSheet.Cells (1,1). Value = "This is column A, row 1"
'Save the worksheet.
ExcelSheet.SaveAs "C: \ DOCS \ TEST.XLS"
'Close Excel, the Quit method in the Application object.
ExcelSheet.Application.Quit
'Release the object variable.
Set ExcelSheet = Nothing
On the remote server to create an object, when only complete Internet security is turned off.
By passing the computer name to CreateObject server name parameter, can create objects on
the remote network. The name of the share as part of the machine name. For example, name
the network share: "\ \ myserver \ public", servername is "myserver". In addition, only specify
servername using DNS format or an IP address.
The following code returns a run-in named "myserver" on the remote network computer
version of an instance of Excel:
Function GetVersion
Dim XLApp
Set XLApp = CreateObject ("Excel.Application", "MyServer")
GetVersion = XLApp.Version
End Function
Error occurred on the specified remote server does not exist or can not be found.
Requirements
Version 2
Returns an expression that has been converted to a Single subtype of Variant.
CSng (expression)
Explain
example, in the event of currency or integer arithmetic in the case, use CDbl or CSng to force
double-precision or single precision arithmetic.
CSng function used for the data type to a Single from the other sub-types of the internationally
recognized format. For example, the decimal separator (such as thousand separators)
identification depending on the locale settings.
If the expression in the Single subtype of range, the error occurs.
The following example uses the CSng function to convert the value Single:
Dim MyDouble1, MyDouble2, MySingle1, MySingle2 'MyDouble1, MyDouble2 is double-

precision values.
MyDouble1 = 75.3421115: MyDouble2 = 75.3421555

The following example uses the Date function returns the current system date:
Dim MyDate
MyDate = Date 'MyDate contains the current system date.
Requirements
Version 1
Returns the specified time interval has been added the date.
DateAdd (interval, number, date)

Parameter
interval
Required. A string expression that you want to add time interval. For values, see "Settings"
section.
number
Required. Numeric expression that you want to add the number of time intervals. Numeric
expression can be positive (to get dates in the future) or negative (to get dates in the past).
date
Required. Variant or interval of that date to add text.
Set up
The interval argument can have the following values:
Setting Description
yyyy Year
q quarter
m Month
y number of days a year
d day
w the number of days a week
ww Week
h hours
n minutes
s seconds
Explain
DateAdd function can be used to add or subtract from the date specified time interval. For
example, you can use the DateAdd date 30 days from the day after the date or the date from
now after a 45 minute time. Adding to the date of "day" as the unit time interval, use the
"number of days a year" ("y"), "Day" ("d") or "week days" ("w").
The DateAdd function will not return an invalid date. In the following example will be 95
January 31 plus one month:
NewDate = DateAdd ("m", 1, "31-Jan-95")

In this case, DateAdd returns 28 February 1995, not 95 February 31, 2007. If the date is
January 31, 1996, returned February 29, 1996, because 1996 is a leap year.
If the calculation date is before the year AD 100, an error occurs.
If the number is not a Long value, then the calculation before rounding to the nearest integer.
Requirements
Version 2
Returns the time interval between two dates.
DateDiff (interval, date1, date2 [, firstdayofweek [, firstweekofyear]])

DateDiff function syntax has the following parameters:
Parameter

firstweekofyear parameter can have the following values:

vbUseSystem 0 Use National Language Support (NLS) API setting.
vbFirstJan1 1 by the January 1 the week of the beginning (the default).
vbFirstFourDays 2 by the New Year in at least four days in the first week.
vbFirstFullWeek 3 in the new year by the first full week.
Explain
DateDiff function is used to determine between the two dates specified number of time
intervals. For example, you can use the DateDiff calculate the number of days difference
between two dates, or the day of the year the number of weeks between the last day.
To calculate the difference between date1 and date2 number of days, you can use the
"number of days a year" ("y") or "day" ("d"). When the interval is "week days" ("w") when,
DateDiff returns the number of weeks between two dates. If date1 is Monday, DateDiff to
calculate the number of Mondays until date2. This result contains date2 not contain date1. If
the interval is the "week" ("ww"), the DateDiff function returns the calendar the number of
weeks between two dates. Function calculated on Sundays between date1 and date2 number.
If date2 is Sunday, DateDiff to calculate date2, but even if date1 is a Sunday, it will not count
date1.
If date1 is later than date2, the DateDiff function returns a negative number.
firstdayofweek argument will use the "w" and "ww" interval symbols impact.
If date1 or date2 is a date literal, the specified date of the year will become a fixed part.
However, if date1 or date2 is enclosed in quotation marks ("") and is omitted in the year,
calculated in the code each time date1 or date2 expression, it will insert the current year. This
can apply to different years of writing code.
In the interval for the "year" ("yyyy"), the more the coming year, December 31 and January 1,
although in practice only a difference of one day, DateDiff returns 1 for almost a year.
The following example uses the DateDiff function to display today with a given number of days
between the date:
Function DiffADate (theDate)

DiffADate = "number of days from the day:" & DateDiff ("d", Now, theDate)
End Function
Returns the specified part of the given date.
DatePart (interval, date [, firstdayofweek [, firstweekofyear]])

Arguments
interval
Required. String expression that you want to return time interval. For values, see "Settings"
section.
Date
Required. To calculate the date expression.

Explain
DatePart function is used to calculate dates and return the specified time interval. For
example, use DatePart to calculate the day of the week or the current time.
firstdayofweek argument affects use "w" and "ww" interval symbols.
If the date is a date literal, the specified date of the year will become a fixed part. However, if
date is enclosed in quotation marks (""), and the year is omitted, then the code each time the
date expression, it will insert the current year. This can apply to different years of writing code.
.
The following example uses the DatePart function to get the date and displays the date where
the season.
Function GetQuarter (TheDate)

GetQuarter = DatePart ("q", TheDate)
End Function
For the specified year, month, day, returns a Date subtype Variant.
DateSerial (year, month, day)

Arguments
Year
From 100 to 9999 numeric or numeric expression.
Month
Any numeric expression.
Day
Explain
To specify a date, such as the December 31, 1991, DateSerial function in the range of each
parameter should be acceptable; today's value should be between 1 and 31, the value should
be 1 month and 12 between. However, you can use that one day before or after the year,
month, day number of the numeric expression specified for each parameter relative to the
date.
The following example uses numeric expressions instead of absolute date. Here, DateSerial
function returns the August 1, 1990 before the decade (1990 - 10) and two months (8 - 2) day
(1 - 1) the date: the May 31, 1980.
Dim MyDate1, MyDate2

MyDate1 = DateSerial (1970, 1, 1) 'returns January 1, 1970.
MyDate2 = DateSerial (1990 - 10, 8 - 2, 1 - 1) 'returns May 31, 1980.
For the year argument, if the range is from 0 to 99, is interpreted as 1900 to 1999. For this year
outside the parameters, use four-digit year (eg 1800).
When any parameter value outside the acceptable range will be appropriate to carry to the
next larger unit of time. For example, if you specify 35 days, then this is interpreted as the
number of days a month plus the extra days, extra days depending on the year and month.
However, if the argument is outside the range -32,768 to 32,767, or specified by the three
parameters (either directly or through an expression specified) the date falls outside the
acceptable range of dates, an error occurs.
Requirements
Version 1
Return Date subtype Variant.
DateValue (date)
The date argument is a string expression, that 100 years from January 1 to December 31, 9999,
a Japan-date. However, date can also be said that within the scope of the above date, time,
date and time, or any expression.
Explain
If the date argument includes time information, DateValue does not return time information.
However, if date includes invalid time information (such as "89:98"), an error occurs.
If the date is a string that includes only the valid date separator separated, DateValue will be
based on the system short date format specified identification month, day and year order.
DateValue also recognizes that contain month names (either full name or initials) of the
specific date. For example, in addition to recognizing 12/30/1991 and 12/30/91, DateValue
also recognizes December 30, 1991 and Dec 30, 1991.
If the year part of date is omitted, DateValue uses the computer system date in the current
year.
The following example uses the DateValue function to convert a string into a date. You can also
use date literals to directly assign a date Variant variables, such as, MyDate = # 9/11/63 #.
Dim MyDate
MyDate = DateValue ("September 11, 1963") 'return date.
Requirements
Version 1
Return 1 to 31 of an integer (including 1 and 31), on behalf of a mid-day.
Day (date)
Is any expression that can represent a date. If date contains Null, returns Null.
The following example uses the Day function to get a date on a given number of days:
Dim MyDay
MyDay = Day ("October 19, 1962") 'MyDay contains 19.

Declare variables and allocate storage space.
Dim varname [([subscripts ])][, varname [([subscripts])]]...

Parameter
varname
Name of the variable standard variable naming rules.
subscripts
The dimension of an array variable, you can declare up to 60-dimensional arrays. The
subscripts argument uses the following syntax:
upperbound [, upperbound]...
Lower bound of the array is always 0.

Explain
Dim statement with the Script-level variables can be used to script all of the process,
procedure-level variable can only be used for the process.
Also used the Dim statement with empty parentheses to declare a dynamic array. After
declaring a dynamic array, you can use the ReDim statement within a procedure to define the
dimension of the array and the elements. If you try to redefine in a Dim statement has been
explicitly specified dimension of the array, an error occurs.
Note that in the process, use the Dim statement, usually on the Dim statement at the
beginning of the process.
The following example illustrates how to use the Dim statement:
Dim Names (9) 'Declare an array with 10 elements.

Dim Names () 'declare a dynamic array.
Dim MyVar, MyNum 'declare two variables.

Parameter
condition
Numeric or string expression that evaluates to True or False. If condition is Null, condition is

Explain
Exit Do can only be used in the Do ... Loop control statements, provide another way to exit the
Do ... Loop. Do ... Loop statement can be in any place to put any number of Exit Do. Exit Do is
usually conditional statement (such as If ... Then) together, followed by passing control to the
statement following the Loop statement.
When used in nested Do ... Loop when, Exit Do transfers control to the loop on the floor in
their nesting cycle.
The following example illustrates how to use the Do ... Loop statement:
Do Until DefResp = vbNo

Re-initialize the fixed-size array of elements, and release dynamic array of storage space.
Erase array
The array parameter is an array variable to clear the name.
Explain
Determine the array is an array of fixed length (conventional) or dynamic array is very
important, because according to Erase an array of different types of operations. Erase without
the need for fixed-size array to restore the memory. Erase the following table to set a fixed
array of elements:
Type of the array Erase array elements on the fixed effects

Fixed value to each element array is set to 0.
Fixed array of strings each element is set to zero-length string ("").
Each element of the array object to the special value Nothing.
Erase releases the memory used by dynamic arrays. In the program refer to the dynamic array
again, you must use the ReDim statement to redefine the dimensions of the array variable.
The following example illustrates how to use the Erase statement.
Dim NumArray (9)

Dim DynamicArray ()
ReDim DynamicArray (9) 'allocate storage space.
Erase NumArray 'Each element is reinitialized.
Erase DynamicArray 'release the memory array.

Eval Function
Calculate the value of an expression and returns the result.
[Result =] Eval (expression)

Parameter
result
Available options. Is a variable, for receiving the returned results. If not specified, the results
should be considered instead of using the Execute statement.
expression
Required. VBScript can contain any valid string expression.
Explain
In VBScript, x = y can be interpreted two ways. The first is an assignment statement, the value
of y given x. The second explanation is that x and y is equal to the test. If equal, result is True;
otherwise result to False. Eval method always uses the second interpretation, the Execute
statement always uses the first.
Note that in Microsoft? JScript? Does not exist in comparison with the assignment of this
confusion, because the assignment operator (=) with a comparison operator (==) is different.
The following example illustrates the usage of the Eval function:
Sub GuessANumber
Dim Guess, RndNum
RndNum = Int ((100) * Rnd (1) + 1)
Guess = CInt (InputBox ("Enter your guess:",, 0))
Do
If Eval ("Guess = RndNum") Then
MsgBox "Congratulations! Guessed it!"
Exit Sub
Else
Guess = CInt (InputBox ("I'm sorry, please try again", 0))
End If
Loop Until Guess = 0
End Sub
Perform one or more specified statements.
Execute statements
The required statements parameter is a string expression that contains one or more
statements to execute. If you want the statements parameter contains multiple statements,
you should use a semicolon or embedded in its separate branches.
Explain
In VBScript, x = y can be interpreted two ways. First, as an assignment statement, the value of
y given x. Second, as an expression to test whether the value of x and y are equal. If equal, the
result is True; otherwise, result is False. Execute statement always uses the first interpretation,
whereas the Eval method always uses the second.
Note that in Microsoft? JScript? Does not exist confusion between assignment and
comparison, because the assignment operator (=) with a comparison operator (==) is different.
Call the Execute statement identifies the context can be used to run the object code and
variables. Scope of the objects and variables is the Execute statement can be used to run the
code. However, we must understand is that if the code is executed to create a process, then
the process will not inherit it in the process scope.
And other similar process, new process scope is global, it inherits the global scope of all things.
Different from other processes, it is not the context of global scope, so it can only occur within
the course of the Execute statement executes in the context. However, if the same Execute
statement is outside the process (for example in the global scope) the scope is called, it will
not only inherit everything in global scope, and it can be called anywhere, because its context
is global. The following example illustrates this feature:
Dim X 'in the global scope statement X.

X = "Global" 'to the global X assignment.
Sub Proc1 'declaration process.
Dim X 'in the local scope statement X.
X = "Local" 'on the local X-assignment.
'Execute statement here established a process,
'In the procedure is called it will print X.
'It will be a global print X, because Proc2
'Inherits everything in global scope.
Execute "Sub Proc2: Print X: End Sub"
Print Eval ("X") 'Print the local X.
Proc2 'Proc1 the scope of a call in Proc2.
End Sub
Proc2 'Bank will result in an error because
'Proc2 outside Proc1 is not in use.
Proc1 'call Proc1.
Proc2 'This sentence can be successful, because Proc2
'It is globally available.
The following example shows how to rewrite the Execute statement, from the whole process
in quotes:
S = "Sub Proc2" & vbCrLf

S = S & "Print X" & vbCrLf
S = S & "End Sub"
Execute S
Requirements
Version 1
Successful implementation of a more global namespace in the script specified in the
statement.
ExecuteGlobal statement
argument is a statement of one or more executable statements containing the string
expression. In the statement parameter can contain multiple statements, use a colon to
separate.
Explain
In VBScript, x = y, there are two interpretation. The first is as an assignment statement assigns
the value of y x. The second method is as an expression to test whether x and y have the same
value. If they are equal, then the result is True; if they are not equal, the result of
False.ExecuteGlobal statement always uses the first method, whereas the Eval method always
uses the second method.
Note that in Microsoft? JScript?, The assignment and comparison, there is no mixing between
the consumer, because the assignment operator (=) is different from the comparison.
In the script's global namespace, ExecuteGlobal all the statements are executable. Therefore,
allow you to add code to the program, so that any process can access it. For example, a
VBScript Class statement at run-time execution. Subsequently function to create a new
instance of this class.
Add in the run-time process and the class is very useful, but may also lead to run-time
coverage in the existing global variables and functions. Because this procedure may lead to
very serious problems, so when using ExecuteGlobal statement must be very cautious. If you
do not have access outside of the process variable or function, it is best to use the Execute
statement, because it only affects the calling function's name space.
The following example illustrates the use of ExecuteGlobal statement.
Dim X 'X is a global variable declaration.

X = "Global" 'to the global variable X assignment.
Dim X 'in the local variable declaration X.
X = "Local" 'to the local variable X is assigned.
'Here's an executable statement
'Create a process, when called, print X.
'Here to print a global value of variable X, because Proc2
'Inherits all the global variables.
ExecuteGlobal "Sub Proc2: Print X: End Sub"
Proc2 'role in the global zone called Proc2
'Will print "Global".
End Sub
Proc2 'This line causes an error
'Because Proc2 outside Proc1 is not available.
Proc1 'call Proc1.
Proc2 'This line is called success, because Proc2
'Role in the global zone is available.
The following example demonstrates ExecuteGlobal statement can be rewritten, so you do not
need the whole process of the following are included in the reference tags.

S = S & "End Sub"

Exit statement syntax has the following form:
Statement describes the

Exit Do Exit Do ... Loop provides a statement of the method. Only in the Do ... Loop statements.
Exit Do transfers control to the statement following the Loop statement. In the nested Do ...
Loop statement, when used, Exit Do transfers control to the loop on the location of a layer of
nested loops.
Exit For providing a way to exit a For loop. Only in the For ... Next or For Each ... Next loop. Exit
For transfers control to the statement following Next. For the nested loop used, Exit For
transfers control to the loop on the location of a layer of nested loops.
Exit Function immediately withdraw from the occurrence of the Function procedure. Continue

Exp function
Returns e (natural logarithms) powers of two.
Exp (number)
Explain
If number is more than 709.782712893, an error occurs. The constant e is approximately
2.718282.
Note The Exp function to complete the anti-Log function operation, and sometimes referred to
as opposed to the number of forms.
The following example uses the Exp function returns e to a power:
Dim MyAngle, MyHSin 'definition of angle in radians.

MyAngle = 1.3 'calculation of hyperbolic sine.
MyHSin = (Exp (MyAngle) - Exp (-1 * MyAngle)) / 2
Return subscript zero-based array, which contains a specific filter string based on a subset of
the array.
Filter (InputStrings, Value [, Include [, Compare]])

Parameter
InputStrings
Required. One-dimensional array, in which the search string.
Value
Required. String to search.
Include
Available options. Boolean value that specifies whether to return substrings that include Value.
If Include is True, Filter returns an array containing substrings Value subset. If Include is False,
Filter returns the substring Value does not contain a subset of the array.
Compare
Available options. Numeric value that type of string comparison to use. Please refer to the
value part.
Set up
Compare argument can have the following values:

vbBinaryCompare 0 Perform a binary comparison.
vbTextCompare 1 Performs a textual comparison.
Explain
If not found within InputStrings match with the value of Value, Filter returns an empty array. If
InputStrings is Null or is not a one-dimensional array, an error occurs.
The array returned by the Filter function contains only enough to match the number of
elements included.
The following example uses the Filter function returns containing the search terms "Mon"
array:
Dim MyIndex
Dim MyArray (3)
MyArray (0) = "Sunday"
MyArray (1) = "Monday"
MyArray (2) = "Tuesday"
MyIndex = Filter (MyArray, "Mon") 'MyIndex (0) contains "Monday".
Requirements
Version 2
Returns the integer part.
Int (number)
Fix (number)
The number argument can be any valid numeric expression. If number contains Null, returns
Null.
Explain
Int and Fix remove the fractional part of the number argument and returns an integer result.
The difference between Int and Fix is that if the number parameter is negative, Int returns the
first number is less than or equal to a negative integer, and Fix function returns the number is
greater than or equal to the first negative integer parameters. For example, Int converts -8.4 to
-9, and Fix converts -8.4 to -8 function.
Fix (number) is equivalent to:
Sgn (number) * Int (Abs (number))

The following example illustrates how the Int and Fix functions return integer portions of
numbers:
MyNumber = Int (99.8) 'Return 99.

MyNumber = Fix (99.2) 'Return 99.
MyNumber = Int (-99.8) 'returns -100.
MyNumber = Fix (-99.8) 'return -99.

For Each element In group

[Statements]
[Exit For]
[Statements]
Next [element]
Parameter
element
Used to enumerate all the elements of the collection or array variables. For the collection,
element may be a Variant variable, a generic Object variable or any of the specified
Automation object variable. For arrays, element can only be a Variant variable.
group
Object collection or array name.
statements
For each group in an implementation of one or more statements.
Explain
If the group has at least one element, it will enter the For Each block is executed. Once in
circulation, will be the first element of the first group all the statements in the loop. As long as
there are other elements in the group, will perform on each element of statements in the loop.
When the group is no other element in the loop is exited, then the statement following the
Next statement continues.
Exit For can only be used For Each ... Next or For ... Next control structure to provide an
alternate way to exit the method. Can be placed anywhere in the loop any number of Exit For
statement. Exit For is often used with conditional statements (such as If ... Then), and
immediately transfers control to the statement following Next.
Can be a For Each ... Next loop placed within another form nested For Each ... Next loop.
However, each loop element must be unique.
Note If you omit the Next statement element, the program will still be the same as it has been
included to continue. If the Next statement before its corresponding For statement appears,
an error occurs.
The following example illustrates how to use the For Each ... Next statement:
Function ShowFolderList (folderspec)

Dim fso, f, f1, fc, s
Set fso = CreateObject ("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set f = fso.GetFolder (folderspec)
Set fc = f.Files

Explain
step argument can be positive or negative. the value of the step argument determines loop
implementation, as follows:
Value of the loop if ...

Positive number or 0 counter <= end
Negative counter> = end
When the loop starts and all statements in the loop are executed, step value is added to the
counter in. At this time, or statements in the loop execute again (based on the loop starts
executing the same test), or exit the loop and the statement following the statement from
Next to continue.
Note that changes in the body of the loop counter value, the program code will make it more
difficult to read and debug.
Exit For can only be used For Each ... Next or For ... Next structure to provide an alternate way
to exit the method. In the statement can be placed anywhere in any number of Exit For
You can put a For ... Next loop within another For ... Next loop, composed of nested loops.

arglist argument has the following syntax and parts:
[ByVal | ByRef] varname [()]
Parameter
ByVal
Indicates that the parameter is passed by value mode.
ByRef
Indicates that the argument passed by reference.
varname
The name of the variable representing the argument; follows standard variable naming rules.
Explain
If not explicitly specified using either Public or Private, Function procedures are public by
default, that is, they script all of the other processes is visible. Function values of local variables
in the call in process is not preserved.
Not in any other process (for example, Sub, or Property Get) Function procedure is defined.
Use Exit Function statement can immediately withdraw from the Function procedure. Program
execution continues with the process that called the Function statement following the
statement. Function procedure can appear anywhere in any number of Exit Function
statements.
Similar to a Sub procedure, Function procedure can take arguments, perform a series of
statements and change the parameter values of the independent process. And the difference
between a Sub procedure is: when to use the value returned by the function, you can use the
expression on the right Function procedure, which is used as the internal functions, such as
Sqr, Cos, or Chr.
In the expression, you can use the function name, and then the corresponding parameters are
given in parentheses, the list to call Function procedures. For more information call a Function
procedure, see the Call statement.
Warning Function procedure can be recursive, that is, the process can call their own to
complete a given task. However, recursion can lead to stack overflow.
From the function returns a value, simply assign a value to the function name. Anywhere in the
process can be of arbitrary assignment like this. If no name assigned, then the process will
return a default value: the value the function returns 0, the string function returns a zero-
length string (""). If there are no objects in the Function reference is assigned to name (using
Set), then the function returns an object reference returns Nothing.
The following example shows how to assign a function named BinarySearch return value. In
this sample, False is assigned to the function name, that did not find a certain value.
Function BinarySearch (...)

...
'This value is not found. Return value of False.
If lower> upper Then
BinarySearch = False
Exit Function
End If
...
End Function
Function used in the process variable is divided into two categories: one is in the process that
are explicitly declared, and the other is not. In the process variables are explicitly declared
(using Dim or the equivalent) is always the process of local variables. Used but not in the
process variable is explicitly declared local variables, unless a higher level outside the
procedure are explicitly declare them.
Warning procedure can use in the process variables are explicitly declared, but as long as there
is no script-level name defined with the same name, will have a name conflict. If the process
referenced undeclared variables and other processes, constant or variable with the same
name, it is assumed that the process is referenced in the script-level name. To avoid such
conflicts, use the Option Explicit statement to force explicit declaration of variables.
Warning VBScript may rearrange arithmetic expressions to increase internal efficiency. When
the Function procedure to modify the value of a variable mathematical expressions should be
avoided in the same expression to use this function.

Return to the file reference to an Automation object.
GetObject ([pathname] [, class])

Parameter
Pathname
Available options. A string that contains the object to retrieve the full path and file name. If
you omit the pathname must have class.
Class
Available options. String, the object's class.
class parameter syntax is appname.objectype, which includes the following components:
Parameter
appname
Required. String name of the application providing the object.
objectype
Required. String, to create the object type or class.
Explain
Use the GetObject function to access files in the Automation object, and the object can be
assigned to an object variable. Use the Set statement to assign the object returned by
GetObject to the object variable. For example:
Dim CADObject
Set CADObject = GetObject ("C: \ CAD \ SCHEMA.CAD")
In the implementation of the code, it will start with the specified path name associated
applications, while the objects in the specified file is activated. If pathname is a zero-length
string (""), GetObject returns a new object instance of the specified type. If the pathname
argument is omitted, GetObject returns a currently active object of the specified type. If you
do not specify the type of object, an error occurs.
Some applications allow you to activate only part of the file, the file name is added after an
exclamation point (!) And used to identify the files you want to activate part of the string. For
more information on creating this string, see the application object is created the
documentation.
For example, in a drawing application, a map stored in the file may have multiple layers. You
can use the following code to activate a layer in Figure SCHEMA.CAD:
Set LayerObject = GetObject ("C: \ CAD \ SCHEMA.CAD! Layer3")

If you do not specify the object's class, Automation will be provided according to the file name
to determine the application to start and to activate the object. However, some files may
support multiple object classes. For example, the figure might support three different types of
objects: Application Objects, Drawing Object, and a Toolbar object, all of which are part of the
same file. Use the class option parameter to specify the file you want to activate the object.
For example:
Dim MyObject
Set MyObject = GetObject ("C: \ DRAWINGS \ SAMPLE.DRW", "FIGMENT.DRAWING")
In the above example, FIGMENT is the name of a drawing application, and DRAWING is one of
the object types it supports. Object is activated, you can use the code defined in the object
variable to reference it. In the previous example, you can use the object variable MyObject
access the new object's properties and methods. For example:
MyObject.Line 9, 90
MyObject.InsertText 9, 100, "Hi, hello!"
MyObject.SaveAs "C: \ DRAWINGS \ SAMPLE.DRW"
Note that there is a current instance of the object, or use the loaded object file is created, use
the GetObject function. If there is no current instance, and not ready to start using the object
file has been loaded, use the CreateObject function.
If the object has been registered as a single instance of the object, no matter how many times
the implementation of CreateObject, can only create an instance of the object. If you use a
single instance of the object, when using zero-length string ("") syntax called, GetObject always
returns the same instance, and if the pathname argument is omitted, an error occurs.

GetRef returns a pointer to a reference process, this process can be bound to an event.
Set object.eventname = GetRef (procname)
Parameter
object
Required. Events associated with the name of the object.
eventname
Required. Bind with the function name of the event.
procname
Required. The string contains the name of the Sub or Function procedure, the process

Explain
GetRef function can be used to VBScript procedure (Function or Sub) and DHTML (Dynamic
HTML) pages that are available in any event together. DHTML object model provides objects
for different events with a variety of available information.
Scripting and programming in other languages, GetRef provided function is called function
pointer, that is, it points to the specified event occurs when the address of a procedure to be
performed.
The following example illustrates the use of the function GetRef:
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="VBScript">
Function GetRefTest ()
Dim Splash
Splash = "GetRefTest Version 1.0" & vbCrLf
Splash = Splash & Chr (169) & "YourCompany 1999"
MsgBox Splash

Version 5
Returns the value of the string of hexadecimal digits.
Hex (number)
The number argument is any valid expression.
Explain
If number is not an integer, before being evaluated to rounding to the nearest integer.
If the number is Hex returns

Null Null.
Empty zero (0).
Several other up to eight hexadecimal characters.
You can add a prefix in front of the number & H to represent a hexadecimal number. For
example, in hexadecimal notation, & H10 represents decimal number 16.
The following example uses the Hex function to return a hexadecimal number:
Dim MyHex
MyHex = Hex (5) 'returned 5.
MyHex = Hex (10) 'Return A.
MyHex = Hex (459) 'returned 1CB.
Requirements
Version 1
Returns a 0 to 23 integer (including 0 and 23), on behalf of one hour of the day.
Hour (time)
The time argument is any expression that can represent a time. If time contains Null, returns
Null.
The following example uses the Hour function to obtain the current time of the hour:
Dim MyTime, MyHour

MyTime = Now
MyHour = Hour (MyTime) 'MyHour contains
'Value representing the current time.
Requirements
Version 1
According to the value of expression a group of statements conditionally.
If condition Then statements [Else elsestatements]

Or, use the block form syntax:
If condition Then
[Statements]
[ElseIf condition-n Then
[Elseifstatements]]...
[Else
[Elsestatements]]
End If
Parameter
condition
One or more of the following two types of expressions:
Numeric or string expression that the result is True or False. If condition is Null, then the
condition is treated as False.
If TypeOf objectname Is objecttype form of expression. The objectname is any object reference
and objecttype is any valid object type. If specified by objecttype objectname is an object type,
the expression is True; otherwise False.
Statements
If the condition is True, the implementation of one or more (separated by colons) statement.
condition-n
The same condition.
elseifstatements
If the associated condition-n is True, the implementation of one or more statements.
elsestatements
If you have not condition or condition-n expression is True, the implementation of one or more
statements.
Explain
For short, simple tests, you can use single-line form (first syntax). However, the block form
(second syntax) provides more than the single form of structure and flexibility, easier to read,
maintain, and debug.
Note that in single-line syntax, you can execute multiple statements as a result of If ... Then to
judge, but all statements must be on the same line and separated by colons, such as the
following statement:
If A> 10 Then A = A + 1: B = B + A: C = C + B
When the program runs to block If (second syntax), the test condition. If the condition is True,
then the execution Then after the statement. If condition is False, each ElseIf part of the
conditional (if any) will be calculated and in turn be tested. When a True condition is found,
then the relevant statement after the Then is executed. If none of the ElseIf statement is True
(or no ElseIf clauses), then the statements following Else are executed. Execute the statement
after the Then or Else later, will continue after the End If statement.
Else and ElseIf clauses are available options. If block can be placed in any number of ElseIf
clauses, but must be before the Else clause. If block statements can be nested, that is,
contained in another block If statement into.
To determine whether a statement is an If block to check what follows the Then keyword.
Then the same if there are other non-comment line after the content, this statement is the
single-line If statement.
If a line block statement must be the first statement, and must end with End If statement.

SearchString = "XXpXXpXXPXXP" 'string to search.
SearchChar = "P" 'Search for "P".
MyPos = Instr (4, SearchString, SearchChar, 1) 'in position 4, text-comparison. Back 6.
MyPos = Instr (1, SearchString, SearchChar, 0) 'in position 1 for the binary comparison. Back 9.
MyPos = Instr (SearchString, SearchChar) 'By default, a binary comparison is carried out (the
final argument is omitted). Back 9.
MyPos = Instr (1, SearchString, "W") 'in position 1 for the binary comparison. Return 0 (could
not find "W").
Note InStrB function that contains the data bytes in the string, so InStrB not return a string

Version 2
Int (number)
Fix (number)
Null.
Explain

numbers:

Requirements
Version 1
Returns Boolean value that indicates whether a variable array.
IsArray (varname)
varname argument can be any variable.
Explain
If the variable is an array, IsArray function returns True; otherwise, it returns False. When the
variable contains an array, use the IsArray function is very effective.
The following example uses the IsArray function to verify whether MyVariable an array:
Dim MyVariable
Dim MyArray (3)
MyVariable = IsArray (MyArray) 'MyVariable contains "True".
Requirements
Version 1
Returns a Boolean value that indicates whether an expression can be converted to date.
IsDate (expression)
Parameters can be any expression that can be identified as the date and time of the date
expression or string expression.
Explain
If the expression is a date, or may lawfully be translated into effective date, the IsDate function
returns True; otherwise it returns False. In the Microsoft Windows operating system, the
effective date range AD 100 to AD on January 1, 9999 December 31; valid date range varies
with the operating system.
The following example uses the IsDate function to determine whether an expression can be
converted to a date type:
Dim MyDate, YourDate, NoDate, MyCheck

MyDate = "October 19, 1962": YourDate = # 10/19/62 #: NoDate = "Hello"
MyCheck = IsDate (MyDate) 'returns True.
MyCheck = IsDate (YourDate) 'returns True.
MyCheck = IsDate (NoDate) 'returns False.
Requirements
Version 1
Returns Boolean value that indicates whether a variable has been initialized.
IsEmpty (expression)
expression argument can be any expression. However, because IsEmpty is used to determine
whether a variable has been initialized, so the expression parameter is often a variable name.
Explain
If the variable is not initialized or explicitly set to Empty, then the function IsEmpty returns
True; otherwise it returns False. If expression contains more than one variable, the total
returns False.
The following example uses the IsEmpty function to determine whether a variable can be
initialized:
Dim MyVar, MyCheck

MyCheck = IsEmpty (MyVar) 'returns True.
MyVar = Null 'assigned to Null.
MyCheck = IsEmpty (MyVar) 'returns False.
MyVar = Empty 'Fu is Empty.
MyCheck = IsEmpty (MyVar) 'returns True.
Requirements
Version 1
See returns a Boolean value indicating whether an expression contains no valid data (Null).
IsNull (expression)
expression argument can be any expression.
Explain
If expression is Null, IsNull returns True, that expression does not contain valid data, or IsNull
returns False. If the expression formed by a number of variables, expressions composed of
variables in any Null will cause the entire expression returns True.
Null value indicates that the variable does not contain valid data. Null and Empty, which
pointed out that the variable was not initialized. Null and zero-length string ("") are also
different, often refers to the zero-length string is an empty string.
Warning Use the IsNull function to determine whether an expression contains a Null value. In
some cases, like the expression evaluates to True, such IfVar = Null and IfVar <> Null, but they
usually always False. This is because any expression containing a Null is itself Null, so the result
of the expression is False.
The following example uses the IsNull function to determine whether a variable contains Null:
Dim MyVar, MyCheck

MyCheck = IsNull (MyVar) 'returns False.
MyVar = Null 'assigned to Null.
MyCheck = IsNull (MyVar) 'returns True.
MyVar = Empty 'Fu is Empty.
MyCheck = IsNull (MyVar) 'returns False.
Requirements
Version 1
Returns Boolean value that indicates whether the value of the expression number.
IsNumeric (expression)
Explain
If the entire expression is recognized as a digital, IsNumeric function returns True; otherwise it
returns False. If expression is a date expression, IsNumeric function returns False.
The following example uses the IsNumeric function to determine whether a variable can be
used as values:
Dim MyVar, MyCheck

MyVar = 53 'assignment.
MyCheck = IsNumeric (MyVar) 'returns True.
MyVar = "459.95" 'assignment.
MyCheck = IsNumeric (MyVar) 'returns True.
MyVar = "45 Help" 'assignment.
MyCheck = IsNumeric (MyVar) 'returns False.
Requirements
Version 1
Returns Boolean value that indicates whether an expression references a valid Automation
object.
IsObject (expression)
Explain
If expression is a subtype of Object variables or user-defined object, IsObject returns True;
otherwise it returns False.
The following example uses the IsObject function to determine whether an identifier
representative of the object variable:
Dim MyInt, MyCheck, MyObject

Set MyObject = Me
MyCheck = IsObject (MyObject) 'returns True.
MyCheck = IsObject (MyInt) 'returns False.
Requirements
Version 1

to create.
Join (list [, delimiter])

Parameter
list
Required. Contains the substring you want to connect one-dimensional array.
Delimiter
Available options. In the returned string used to separate sub-strings of characters. If omitted,
the space character (""). If delimiter is a zero-length string, then all items listed in the same list,
there is no delimiter.
Explain
The following example uses the Join function MyArray joint sub-string:
Dim MyString
Dim MyArray (3)
MyArray (0) = "Mr."
MyArray (1) = "John"
MyArray (2) = "Doe"
MyArray (3) = "III"
MyString = Join (MyArray) 'MyString contains "Mr. John Doe III".
Requirements
Version 2
Returns the specified array dimension of the smallest available subscript.
LBound (arrayname [, dimension])

Parameter
arrayname
Array variable name follows standard variable naming rules.
Dimension
Indicate which dimension to return to the lower bound of the integer. Use 1 for the first
dimension, 2 for the second, and so on. If dimension is omitted, the default value of 1.
Explain
The LBound function is used together with the UBound function to determine the size of the
array. Use the UBound function to find the upper bound of an array dimension.
Renyi Wei's lower bound is 0.
Requirements
Version 1
Returns a string lowercase.
LCase (string)
string argument is any valid string expression. If string contains Null, returns Null.
Explain
Only uppercase letters are converted to lowercase; all lowercase letters and non-alphabetic
characters remain unchanged.
The following example uses the LCase function to convert uppercase letters to lowercase
letters:
Dim MyString
Dim LCaseString
MyString = "VBSCript"
LCaseString = LCase (MyString) 'LCaseString contains "vbscript".
Requirements
Version 1

Requirements
Version 1
Enable or disable the error handler.
On Error Resume Next

On Error GoTo 0
Explain
If your code does not use On Error Resume Next statement, run-time error occurred error
message is displayed at the same time, the code execution is terminated. But the decision to
run code of the host specific operations. Host can sometimes have a choice to handle all kinds
of errors. In some cases, it can be activated in the wrong place the script debugger. In other
cases, the host can not notify the user, so the error occurred is not clearly stated. As for how to
handle the error function depends entirely on the host.
In any particular process, as long as the call stack in place to enable the error handler, the error
occurred is generally not fatal. If the process is not enabled in a local error handler when an
error occurs, control is transferred through the call stack until it finds an error handler in the
process, and in the wrong place to handle the error. If in the course of the call stack error
handler is not found, then an error message the wrong place, at the same time terminate code
execution, or by the host to correctly handle the error.
On Error Resume Next causes the program to follow a false statement following the statement
continued, or according to a recent call by the process (the process containing the On Error
Resume Next statement) in the statement continues. This statement can be run regardless of
when the error and continue execution, after which you can process established within the
error handling routine. Another procedure is called, On Error Resume Next statement becomes
inactive. So, if you want to conduct an internal error handling routine, you should call the
routine in each run On Error Resume Next statement.
When you call another procedure, prohibit the use of On Error Resume Next statement, so if
you want to embed error handler routine, you need to call the routine should perform each On
Error Resume Next statement. When a process exits, the error handler to resume it before

The Abs function
Returns the absolute value.
Abs (number)
The number argument can be any valid numeric expression. If number contains Null, return
Null; if it is an uninitialized variable, zero is returned.
Explain
The absolute value is its unsigned magnitude. For example, Abs (-1) and Abs (1) returns 1.
The following example uses the Abs function to compute the absolute value of:
Dim MyNumber
MyNumber = Abs (50.3) 'returns 50.3.
MyNumber = Abs (-50.3) 'returns 50.3.
Returns an array of Variant.
Array (arglist)
arglist argument is assigned to a Variant containing the array elements in a list of values
(separated by commas). If you do not specify this parameter, you will create a zero-length
array.
Explain
Used to refer to array elements of said symbol, followed by the composition of the variable
name in brackets, braces indicate required elements included in the index. In the following
example, the first statement creates a variable named A. The second statement assigns an
array variable A. The last statement will be included in the second array element value is
assigned to another variable.
Dim A
A = Array (10,20,30)
B = A (2) 'B is now 30.
Note that the variable is not declared as an array can still contain an array. Although a Variant
variable containing an array with array variable containing Variant elements are conceptually
different, but the access array elements are the same.

Explain
The following example, Asc returns a string first letter of each ANSI character code:
Dim MyNumber
MyNumber = Asc ("A") 'Return 65.
MyNumber = Asc ("a") 'Return 97.
MyNumber = Asc ("Apple") 'Return 65.
Note AscB function and contains the byte data strings. AscB not return the first character of
the character code, but returns the first byte. AscW use Unicode characters for 32-bit
platforms available. It returns the Unicode (wide) character code, thereby avoiding the code
from ANSI to Unicode conversion.
Requirements
Version 1
Atn function
Returns the arctangent of the value.
Atn (number)
Explain
Atn function calculating the ratio of two sides of a right triangle (number) and returns the
corresponding angle in radians. This ratio is the length and angle on the edge of the adjacent
side length ratio. The results range from-pi / 2 to pi / 2 radians.
Transformed into the angle of curvature of the arc is multiplied by pi/180. On the contrary,
changing the angle in radians is the angle multiplied by 180/pi.
The following example uses Atn to calculate the value of pi:
Dim pi
pi = 4 * Atn (1) 'calculate the value of pi.
Note Atn is Tan (angle as a parameter to return the ratio of both sides of a right triangle) the
inverse trigonometric functions. Do not confuse Atn with the cotangent (tangent of the
reciprocal (1/tangent)) function.

If expression is zero, then return False; otherwise returns True. If the expression can not be
interpreted as a value, then a runtime error occurs.
The following example uses the CBool function to an expression into a Boolean type. If the
expression calculated value is nonzero, then the CBool function returns True; otherwise it
returns False.
Dim A, B, Check

Requirements
Version 1
Returns an expression that has been converted to a Date subtype Variant.
CDate (date)
date argument is any valid date expression.
Explain
IsDate function to determine if date can be converted to a date or time. CDate recognizes date
literals and time literals as well as some dates in the acceptable range of numbers. In the
digital conversion to date, the integer portion is converted to date, from the fractional part is
converted to the time since midnight.
Depending on the system locale CDate recognizes date formats. If the data set the date format
can not be identified, it can not determine the year, month, day of the correct order. In
addition, if the long date format string that contains the day of the week, it can not be
identified.
The following example uses the CDate function to convert strings into date type. Generally not
recommended to use hardware decode dates and times as strings (example below is
reflected). The use of time and date text (such as # 10/19/1962 #, # 4:45:23 PM #).
MyDate = "October 19, 1962" 'defined date.

to force double-precision or single-precision arithmetic.
CDbl function is used to from other data type to Double subtype of internationally recognized
format. For example, decimal separators and thousands separators are properly recognized
depending on the locale settings.
The following example uses the CDbl function to convert expression to a Double.
Dim MyCurr, MyDouble

MyCurr = CCur (234.456784) 'MyCurr the Currency type (234.4567).
MyDouble = CDbl (MyCurr * 8.2 * 0.01) 'the result is converted to type Double (19.2254576).
Requirements
Version 1
Returns the specified ANSI character code corresponding to the characters.
Chr (charcode)
charcode parameter is the number of characters can be identified.
Explain
From 0 to 31 numerical standard is not printable ASCII code. For example, Chr (10) return line

The following example uses the Chr function returns the character code specified by the
corresponding characters:
Dim MyChar
MyChar = Chr (65) 'Return A.
MyChar = Chr (97) 'returns a.
MyChar = Chr (62) 'return>.
MyChar = Chr (37) 'return.
Note ChrB function and contained in a string of bytes of data together. ChrB not return one or
two-byte characters, but always returns a single byte characters. ChrW is to use Unicode
characters in the 32-bit platforms. Its argument is a Unicode (wide character) character code,
thereby avoiding the ANSI into Unicode characters.
Requirements
Version 1
Returns an expression that has been converted to an Integer subtype of Variant.
CInt (expression)
Explain
example, in the event of currency, single-precision or double precision arithmetic in the case,
use CInt or CLng to force integer arithmetic.
CInt function to provide from other data type to an Integer subtype of an internationally
If the Integer subtype expression outside the acceptable range, an error occurs.
The following example uses the CInt function to convert the value to Integer:
Dim MyDouble, MyInt

MyDouble = 2345.5678 'MyDouble is Double.
MyInt = CInt (MyDouble) 'MyInt contains 2346.
Note CInt differs from the Fix and Int functions remove the fractional part of value, instead of
using the rounding mode. When the fractional part is exactly equal to 0.5, CInt always be
rounded to the nearest even number. For example, 0.5 rounds to 0, and 1.5 rounds to 2.

the case, use CInt or CLng to force integer arithmetic functions.
CLng function used for other data types from the Long subtype of the internationally
recognized format. For example, different decimal separators and thousands separators are
properly recognized depending on the locale settings.
If the value is not in Long subtype expression within the allowed range, an error occurs.
The following example uses the CLng function to convert the value of Long:
Dim MyVal1, MyVal2, MyLong1, MyLong2

MyVal1 = 25427.45: MyVal2 = 25427.55 'MyVal1, MyVal2 is double-precision values.
MyLong1 = CLng (MyVal1) 'MyLong1 25427.
MyLong2 = CLng (MyVal2) 'MyLong2 include 25428.
Note CLng differs from the Fix and Int functions remove the fractional part, but a rounded way.

Automation servers provide at least one type of object. For example, word processing
applications can provide an application object, document object and tool bar object.
To create an Automation object, use the CreateObject function returns the object is assigned
to an object variable:
Dim ExcelSheet
Set ExcelSheet = CreateObject ("Excel.Sheet")
The code starts to create the object (in this instance, is a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet)
application. Object is created, you can use the code defined in the object variable referencing
this object. In the following example, you can use the object variable, ExcelSheet and other
Excel objects, including the Application object and the Cells collection to access the new
object's properties and methods. For example:
'Throughout the Excel Application object are visible.

ExcelSheet.Application.Visible = True
'Some text into the first worksheet cell.
ExcelSheet.ActiveSheet.Cells (1,1). Value = "This is column A, row 1"
'Save the worksheet.
ExcelSheet.SaveAs "C: \ DOCS \ TEST.XLS"
'Close Excel, the Quit method in the Application object.
ExcelSheet.Application.Quit
'Release the object variable.
Set ExcelSheet = Nothing
On the remote server to create an object, when only complete Internet security is turned off.
By passing the computer name to CreateObject server name parameter, can create objects on
the remote network. The name of the share as part of the machine name. For example, name
the network share: "\ \ myserver \ public", servername is "myserver". In addition, only specify
servername using DNS format or an IP address.
The following code returns a run-in named "myserver" on the remote network computer
version of an instance of Excel:

The DateAdd function will not return an invalid date. In the following example will be 95
January 31 plus one month:
NewDate = DateAdd ("m", 1, "31-Jan-95")

In this case, DateAdd returns 28 February 1995, not 95 February 31, 2007. If the date is
January 31, 1996, returned February 29, 1996, because 1996 is a leap year.
If the calculation date is before the year AD 100, an error occurs.
If the number is not a Long value, then the calculation before rounding to the nearest integer.

DateDiff (interval, date1, date2 [, firstdayofweek [, firstweekofyear]])

DateDiff function syntax has the following parameters:
Parameter

Explain
DateDiff function is used to determine between the two dates specified number of time
intervals. For example, you can use the DateDiff calculate the number of days difference
between two dates, or the day of the year the number of weeks between the last day.
To calculate the difference between date1 and date2 number of days, you can use the
"number of days a year" ("y") or "day" ("d"). When the interval is "week days" ("w") when,
DateDiff returns the number of weeks between two dates. If date1 is Monday, DateDiff to
calculate the number of Mondays until date2. This result contains date2 not contain date1. If
the interval is the "week" ("ww"), the DateDiff function returns the calendar the number of
weeks between two dates. Function calculated on Sundays between date1 and date2 number.
If date2 is Sunday, DateDiff to calculate date2, but even if date1 is a Sunday, it will not count
date1.
If date1 is later than date2, the DateDiff function returns a negative number.
firstdayofweek argument will use the "w" and "ww" interval symbols impact.
If date1 or date2 is a date literal, the specified date of the year will become a fixed part.
However, if date1 or date2 is enclosed in quotation marks ("") and is omitted in the year,
calculated in the code each time date1 or date2 expression, it will insert the current year. This
can apply to different years of writing code.
In the interval for the "year" ("yyyy"), the more the coming year, December 31 and January 1,
although in practice only a difference of one day, DateDiff returns 1 for almost a year.
The following example uses the DateDiff function to display today with a given number of days
between the date:
Function DiffADate (theDate)

DiffADate = "number of days from the day:" & DateDiff ("d", Now, theDate)
End Function
Returns the specified part of the given date.
DatePart (interval, date [, firstdayofweek [, firstweekofyear]])

DatePart function is used to calculate dates and return the specified time interval. For
example, use DatePart to calculate the day of the week or the current time.
firstdayofweek argument affects use "w" and "ww" interval symbols.
If the date is a date literal, the specified date of the year will become a fixed part. However, if
date is enclosed in quotation marks (""), and the year is omitted, then the code each time the
date expression, it will insert the current year. This can apply to different years of writing code.
.
The following example uses the DatePart function to get the date and displays the date where
the season.
Function GetQuarter (TheDate)

GetQuarter = DatePart ("q", TheDate)
End Function
For the specified year, month, day, returns a Date subtype Variant.
DateSerial (year, month, day)

Arguments
Year
From 100 to 9999 numeric or numeric expression.
Month
Day
Explain
To specify a date, such as the December 31, 1991, DateSerial function in the range of each
parameter should be acceptable; today's value should be between 1 and 31, the value should
be 1 month and 12 between. However, you can use that one day before or after the year,
month, day number of the numeric expression specified for each parameter relative to the
date.
The following example uses numeric expressions instead of absolute date. Here, DateSerial
function returns the August 1, 1990 before the decade (1990 - 10) and two months (8 - 2) day
(1 - 1) the date: the May 31, 1980.
Dim MyDate1, MyDate2

MyDate1 = DateSerial (1970, 1, 1) 'returns January 1, 1970.
MyDate2 = DateSerial (1990 - 10, 8 - 2, 1 - 1) 'returns May 31, 1980.
For the year argument, if the range is from 0 to 99, is interpreted as 1900 to 1999. For this year
outside the parameters, use four-digit year (eg 1800).
When any parameter value outside the acceptable range will be appropriate to carry to the
next larger unit of time. For example, if you specify 35 days, then this is interpreted as the
number of days a month plus the extra days, extra days depending on the year and month.
However, if the argument is outside the range -32,768 to 32,767, or specified by the three
parameters (either directly or through an expression specified) the date falls outside the
acceptable range of dates, an error occurs.
Requirements
Version 1
Return Date subtype Variant.
DateValue (date)
The date argument is a string expression, that 100 years from January 1 to December 31, 9999,
a Japan-date. However, date can also be said that within the scope of the above date, time,
date and time, or any expression.
Explain
If the date argument includes time information, DateValue does not return time information.
However, if date includes invalid time information (such as "89:98"), an error occurs.
If the date is a string that includes only the valid date separator separated, DateValue will be
based on the system short date format specified identification month, day and year order.
DateValue also recognizes that contain month names (either full name or initials) of the
specific date. For example, in addition to recognizing 12/30/1991 and 12/30/91, DateValue
also recognizes December 30, 1991 and Dec 30, 1991.
If the year part of date is omitted, DateValue uses the computer system date in the current
year.
The following example uses the DateValue function to convert a string into a date. You can also
use date literals to directly assign a date Variant variables, such as, MyDate = # 9/11/63 #.
Dim MyDate
MyDate = DateValue ("September 11, 1963") 'return date.
Requirements
Version 1
Return 1 to 31 of an integer (including 1 and 31), on behalf of a mid-day.
Day (date)
Is any expression that can represent a date. If date contains Null, returns Null.
The following example uses the Day function to get a date on a given number of days:
Dim MyDay
MyDay = Day ("October 19, 1962") 'MyDay contains 19.

Re-initialize the fixed-size array of elements, and release dynamic array of storage space.
Erase array
The array parameter is an array variable to clear the name.
Explain
Determine the array is an array of fixed length (conventional) or dynamic array is very
important, because according to Erase an array of different types of operations. Erase without
the need for fixed-size array to restore the memory. Erase the following table to set a fixed
array of elements:

Eval Function
Calculate the value of an expression and returns the result.
[Result =] Eval (expression)

Parameter
result
Available options. Is a variable, for receiving the returned results. If not specified, the results
should be considered instead of using the Execute statement.
expression
Required. VBScript can contain any valid string expression.
Explain
In VBScript, x = y can be interpreted two ways. The first is an assignment statement, the value
of y given x. The second explanation is that x and y is equal to the test. If equal, result is True;
otherwise result to False. Eval method always uses the second interpretation, the Execute
statement always uses the first.
Note that in Microsoft? JScript? Does not exist in comparison with the assignment of this
confusion, because the assignment operator (=) with a comparison operator (==) is different.
The following example illustrates the usage of the Eval function:
Sub GuessANumber
Dim Guess, RndNum
RndNum = Int ((100) * Rnd (1) + 1)
Guess = CInt (InputBox ("Enter your guess:",, 0))
Do
If Eval ("Guess = RndNum") Then
MsgBox "Congratulations! Guessed it!"
Exit Sub
Else
Guess = CInt (InputBox ("I'm sorry, please try again", 0))
End If
Loop Until Guess = 0
End Sub
Perform one or more specified statements.
Execute statements
The required statements parameter is a string expression that contains one or more
statements to execute. If you want the statements parameter contains multiple statements,
you should use a semicolon or embedded in its separate branches.
Explain
In VBScript, x = y can be interpreted two ways. First, as an assignment statement, the value of
y given x. Second, as an expression to test whether the value of x and y are equal. If equal, the
result is True; otherwise, result is False. Execute statement always uses the first interpretation,
whereas the Eval method always uses the second.
Note that in Microsoft? JScript? Does not exist confusion between assignment and
comparison, because the assignment operator (=) with a comparison operator (==) is different.
Call the Execute statement identifies the context can be used to run the object code and
variables. Scope of the objects and variables is the Execute statement can be used to run the
code. However, we must understand is that if the code is executed to create a process, then
the process will not inherit it in the process scope.
And other similar process, new process scope is global, it inherits the global scope of all things.
Different from other processes, it is not the context of global scope, so it can only occur within
the course of the Execute statement executes in the context. However, if the same Execute
statement is outside the process (for example in the global scope) the scope is called, it will
not only inherit everything in global scope, and it can be called anywhere, because its context
is global. The following example illustrates this feature:
Dim X 'in the global scope statement X.
X = "Global" 'to the global X assignment.
Dim X 'in the local scope statement X.
X = "Local" 'on the local X-assignment.
'Execute statement here established a process,
'In the procedure is called it will print X.
'It will be a global print X, because Proc2
'Inherits everything in global scope.
Proc2 'Proc1 the scope of a call in Proc2.
End Sub
Proc2 'Bank will result in an error because
'Proc2 outside Proc1 is not in use.
Proc1 'call Proc1.
Proc2 'This sentence can be successful, because Proc2
'It is globally available.
The following example shows how to rewrite the Execute statement, from the whole process
in quotes:

S = S & "End Sub"
Execute S
Requirements
Version 1
Successful implementation of a more global namespace in the script specified in the
statement.
ExecuteGlobal statement
argument is a statement of one or more executable statements containing the string
expression. In the statement parameter can contain multiple statements, use a colon to
separate.
Explain
In VBScript, x = y, there are two interpretation. The first is as an assignment statement assigns
the value of y x. The second method is as an expression to test whether x and y have the same
value. If they are equal, then the result is True; if they are not equal, the result of
False.ExecuteGlobal statement always uses the first method, whereas the Eval method always
uses the second method.
Note that in Microsoft? JScript?, The assignment and comparison, there is no mixing between
the consumer, because the assignment operator (=) is different from the comparison.
In the script's global namespace, ExecuteGlobal all the statements are executable. Therefore,
allow you to add code to the program, so that any process can access it. For example, a
VBScript Class statement at run-time execution. Subsequently function to create a new
instance of this class.
Add in the run-time process and the class is very useful, but may also lead to run-time
coverage in the existing global variables and functions. Because this procedure may lead to
very serious problems, so when using ExecuteGlobal statement must be very cautious. If you
do not have access outside of the process variable or function, it is best to use the Execute
statement, because it only affects the calling function's name space.
The following example illustrates the use of ExecuteGlobal statement.
Dim X 'X is a global variable declaration.

X = "Global" 'to the global variable X assignment.
Dim X 'in the local variable declaration X.
X = "Local" 'to the local variable X is assigned.
'Here's an executable statement
'Create a process, when called, print X.
'Here to print a global value of variable X, because Proc2
'Inherits all the global variables.
ExecuteGlobal "Sub Proc2: Print X: End Sub"
Proc2 'role in the global zone called Proc2
'Will print "Global".
End Sub
Proc2 'This line causes an error
'Because Proc2 outside Proc1 is not available.
Proc1 'call Proc1.
Proc2 'This line is called success, because Proc2
'Role in the global zone is available.

Only with the Public keyword in a Class block used to represent the class Function procedure is
the default method. If a class is more than one Default procedure is specified, there is an error.
Private
Function procedure that it can only be declared in the script or other process to access data if
the function is a class, then the class Function procedure can only be accessed in the other
process.
name
Function names follow the standard variable naming rules.
arglist
Behalf of the calling process when the parameter passed to the Function list of variables.
statements
In the Function procedure to execute any of the main group of statements.
expression
Function return value.
Parameter
ByVal
Indicates that the parameter is passed by value mode.
ByRef
Indicates that the argument passed by reference.
varname
The name of the variable representing the argument; follows standard variable naming rules.
Explain
If not explicitly specified using either Public or Private, Function procedures are public by
default, that is, they script all of the other processes is visible. Function values of local variables
in the call in process is not preserved.
Not in any other process (for example, Sub, or Property Get) Function procedure is defined.
Use Exit Function statement can immediately withdraw from the Function procedure. Program
execution continues with the process that called the Function statement following the
statement. Function procedure can appear anywhere in any number of Exit Function
statements.
Similar to a Sub procedure, Function procedure can take arguments, perform a series of
statements and change the parameter values of the independent process. And the difference
between a Sub procedure is: when to use the value returned by the function, you can use the
expression on the right Function procedure, which is used as the internal functions, such as
Sqr, Cos, or Chr.
In the expression, you can use the function name, and then the corresponding parameters are
given in parentheses, the list to call Function procedures. For more information call a Function
procedure, see the Call statement.
Warning Function procedure can be recursive, that is, the process can call their own to
complete a given task. However, recursion can lead to stack overflow.
From the function returns a value, simply assign a value to the function name. Anywhere in the
process can be of arbitrary assignment like this. If no name assigned, then the process will
return a default value: the value the function returns 0, the string function returns a zero-
length string (""). If there are no objects in the Function reference is assigned to name (using
Set), then the function returns an object reference returns Nothing.
The following example shows how to assign a function named BinarySearch return value. In
this sample, False is assigned to the function name, that did not find a certain value.
Function BinarySearch (...)

...
'This value is not found. Return value of False.
If lower> upper Then
BinarySearch = False
Exit Function
End If
...
End Function
Function used in the process variable is divided into two categories: one is in the process that
are explicitly declared, and the other is not. In the process variables are explicitly declared
(using Dim or the equivalent) is always the process of local variables. Used but not in the
process variable is explicitly declared local variables, unless a higher level outside the
procedure are explicitly declare them.
Warning VBScript may rearrange arithmetic expressions to increase internal efficiency. When
the Function procedure to modify the value of a variable mathematical expressions should be
avoided in the same expression to use this function.

Returns the current locale ID value.
GetLocale ()
Explain
User locale is a collection of reference information, and user's language, country / region and
cultural tradition. locale determine the keyboard layout, alphabetic sort order and the date,
time, number and currency formats.
Return value can be any 32 - bit values, such as Locale ID below:
The following are examples GetLocale function usage. To use this code, copy the standard

Return to the file reference to an Automation object.
GetObject ([pathname] [, class])

Parameter
Pathname
Available options. A string that contains the object to retrieve the full path and file name. If
you omit the pathname must have class.
Class
Available options. String, the object's class.
class parameter syntax is appname.objectype, which includes the following components:
Parameter
appname
Required. String name of the application providing the object.
objectype
Required. String, to create the object type or class.
Explain
Use the GetObject function to access files in the Automation object, and the object can be
assigned to an object variable. Use the Set statement to assign the object returned by
GetObject to the object variable. For example:
Dim CADObject
Set CADObject = GetObject ("C: \ CAD \ SCHEMA.CAD")
In the implementation of the code, it will start with the specified path name associated
applications, while the objects in the specified file is activated. If pathname is a zero-length
string (""), GetObject returns a new object instance of the specified type. If the pathname
argument is omitted, GetObject returns a currently active object of the specified type. If you
do not specify the type of object, an error occurs.
Some applications allow you to activate only part of the file, the file name is added after an
exclamation point (!) And used to identify the files you want to activate part of the string. For
more information on creating this string, see the application object is created the
documentation.
For example, in a drawing application, a map stored in the file may have multiple layers. You
can use the following code to activate a layer in Figure SCHEMA.CAD:
Set LayerObject = GetObject ("C: \ CAD \ SCHEMA.CAD! Layer3")

If you do not specify the object's class, Automation will be provided according to the file name
to determine the application to start and to activate the object. However, some files may
support multiple object classes. For example, the figure might support three different types of
objects: Application Objects, Drawing Object, and a Toolbar object, all of which are part of the
same file. Use the class option parameter to specify the file you want to activate the object.
For example:
Dim MyObject
Set MyObject = GetObject ("C: \ DRAWINGS \ SAMPLE.DRW", "FIGMENT.DRAWING")
In the above example, FIGMENT is the name of a drawing application, and DRAWING is one of
the object types it supports. Object is activated, you can use the code defined in the object
variable to reference it. In the previous example, you can use the object variable MyObject
access the new object's properties and methods. For example:
MyObject.Line 9, 90
MyObject.InsertText 9, 100, "Hi, hello!"
MyObject.SaveAs "C: \ DRAWINGS \ SAMPLE.DRW"
Note that there is a current instance of the object, or use the loaded object file is created, use
the GetObject function. If there is no current instance, and not ready to start using the object
file has been loaded, use the CreateObject function.
If the object has been registered as a single instance of the object, no matter how many times
the implementation of CreateObject, can only create an instance of the object. If you use a
single instance of the object, when using zero-length string ("") syntax called, GetObject always
returns the same instance, and if the pathname argument is omitted, an error occurs.

GetRef returns a pointer to a reference process, this process can be bound to an event.

Parameter
object
Required. Events associated with the name of the object.
eventname
Required. Bind with the function name of the event.
procname
Required. The string contains the name of the Sub or Function procedure, the process
associated with the event.
Explain
GetRef function can be used to VBScript procedure (Function or Sub) and DHTML (Dynamic
HTML) pages that are available in any event together. DHTML object model provides objects
for different events with a variety of available information.
Scripting and programming in other languages, GetRef provided function is called function
pointer, that is, it points to the specified event occurs when the address of a procedure to be
performed.
The following example illustrates the use of the function GetRef:
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="VBScript">
Function GetRefTest ()
Dim Splash
Splash = "GetRefTest Version 1.0" & vbCrLf
Splash = Splash & Chr (169) & "YourCompany 1999"
MsgBox Splash

Explain
If number is not an integer, before being evaluated to rounding to the nearest integer.
If the number is Hex returns

Null Null.
Empty zero (0).
You can add a prefix in front of the number & H to represent a hexadecimal number. For
example, in hexadecimal notation, & H10 represents decimal number 16.
The following example uses the Hex function to return a hexadecimal number:
Dim MyHex
