Reports the specific character in a line of code that contains an error.
Object.Character |
Arguments
- Object
-
WshRemoteError object.
Remarks
The Character property returns a signed long integer.
Some errors are not associated with a particular character position. For example, consider the error Expected End If. In this case, there is no line (a line of code is missing). In such a case, the Character property returns zero (0).
The character position is based on an offset of one (1) (the first character in a line resides at position one).
Example
The following JScript code demonstrates how the WshRemoteError object exposes the character in the line of code that contained the error.
| Visual Basic Script |  Copy Code |
|---|---|
Dim Controller, RemoteScript
Set Controller = WScript.CreateObject("WSHController")
Set RemoteScript = Controller.CreateScript("test.js", "remoteserver")
WScript.ConnectObject RemoteScript, "remote_"
RemoteScript.Execute
Do While RemoteScript.Status <> 2
WScript.Sleep 100
Loop
Sub remote_Error
Dim theError
Set theError = RemoteScript.Error
WScript.Echo "Error - Line: " & theError.Line & ", Char: " & theError.Character & vbCrLf & "Description: " & theError.Description
WScript.Quit -1
End Sub | |
| JScript | Copy Code |
|---|---|
var Controller = WScript.CreateObject("WSHController");
var RemoteScript = Controller.CreateScript("test.js", "remoteserver");
WScript.ConnectObject(RemoteScript, "remote_");
RemoteScript.Execute();
while (RemoteScript.Status != 2) {
WScript.Sleep(100);
}
function remote_Error()
{
var theError = RemoteScript.Error;
WScript.Echo("Error - Line: " + theError.Line + ", Char: " + theError.Character + "\nDescription: " + theError.Description);
WScript.Quit(-1);
