Sends a string with a newline character to an output stream.
object.WriteLine([strText]) |
Arguments
- object
-
StdOut or StdErr text stream objects.
- strText
-
Optional. String value indicating the text you want to write to the stream. If omitted, a newline character is written to the output stream.
Remarks
The WriteLine method always appends a newline character to the string. Calling the WriteLine method without supplying the argument strText is equivalent to calling WriteBlankLines(1). The StdIn, StdOut, and StdErr properties and methods work when running the script with the CScript.exe host executable file only. An "Invalid Handle" error is returned when run with WScript.exe. A line is a sequence of characters that ends with a newline character.
Example
The following code demonstrates the WriteLine method.
Visual Basic Script | Copy Code |
---|---|
Dim StdIn, StdOut Set StdIn = WScript.StdIn Set StdOut = WScript.StdOut Do While Not StdIn.AtEndOfStream str = StdIn.ReadLine StdOut.WriteLine "Line " & (StdIn.Line - 1) & ": " & str Loop |
JScript | Copy Code |
---|---|
var stdin = WScript.StdIn; var stdout = WScript.StdOut; while (!stdin.AtEndOfStream) { var str = stdin.ReadLine(); stdout.WriteLine("Line " + (stdin.Line - 1) + ": " + str); } |
