Returns the value of a resource defined with the <resource> element.
getResource(resourceID) |
Arguments
- resourceID
-
A string that uniquely identifies the resource information contained within a set of resource tags in a *.WSF script file.
Remarks
The getResource method returns a string. Use the <resource> element to isolate strings or numbers that are within the .wsf file and that you want to reference. This feature makes it easy to maintain a set of strings that are localized into several languages. A WSH script file (*.wsf) can contain several different pieces of resource information — each one with a unique resource identifier.
Example
The following WSH script defines a resource called errNonNumeric
. The value of errNonNumeric
is displayed if the parameter upperBound
is not a number.
