v5.0
Executes a string of script code.
Use ExecuteScriptCode when you need to generate and execute a fragment of code written
in a different scripting language (for example, to run some VBScript code from JScript).
Unlike Application.ExecuteScript, which reads script code from a file,
ExecuteScriptCode takes a string of script code as an argument.
Object Application.ExecuteScriptCode( String in_ScriptText, String in_LanguageProgID, String in_ProcName, Object& io_Params ); |
oVariant = Application.ExecuteScriptCode( Code, Language, [ProcName], [Params] ); |
A Variant containing the return value of the subroutine. The return value is always empty if no subroutine argument is specified.
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Code | String | A string that contains valid script code. |
| Language | String | Specifies the scripting language of the code (for example, "VBScript", "JScript", or "Python"). |
| ProcName | String |
Name of a procedure (a function or subroutine) to execute. When you execute a procedure, any global code
(code that is outside of a procedure) is also executed. Tip: In VBScript, you can execute a subroutine ("sub") or a function ("function"). In JScript, procedures are declared with the "function" keyword; in Python, with "def", and in PerlScript, with "sub". |
| Params | Array of Variants | Arguments to pass to the procedure. |
