Any VBScript editor/IDE?

[mik...@hotmail.com]

Hi,

Is there any IDE for VBScript?

For example, we have a built in IDE in Excel for Visual Basic
For Java we have NetBeans or Eclipse or BlueJ
For C we have Dev C++ or Quincy.

But what about VBScript?

Please provide freeware VBSCript IDE websites.

Thanks a lot.

You can use the Excel (or Word or any MS Office IDE) to debug VBScript code.

There is alot of choices out there. Look at these articles and make
your own judgement

One thing to note is that AdminScriptEditor has had a recent major
release not covered in the article, and from what I understand
Primalscript is on the verge of releasing its newest version, however
their being quite private of many details that it may contain, see
here http://blog.sapien.com/current/2007/5/23/its-official.html

I personally use AdminScriptEditor, but that's because it cheaper and
focuses on the the languages I use the most, VBScript, KiXtart, and
AutoIt. PrimalScript is pricier and supports much more languages, but
really I don't need external support for VB.Net, C#, ActionScript,
etc. if I wanted that I would use the IDE that is meant for (Visual
Studio, Flash, etc.).

Actually that wasn't the question either:

"Please provide freeware VBSCript IDE websites"

The OP wants free software. PrimalScript is about double
the cost of the next most overpriced editor, last I saw. :)
The only thing I know of that's free and notably better than
Notepad is the vbsedit free version (assuming that still
exists).

hi Mayayana,

While I generally have great respect for your opinions,
I have to take exception to your notion that notepad
is o.k. for scripting.

In my opinion, a scripting editor _MUST_ have two things
that notepad doesn't have. Thing One is syntax highlighting.
Thing two is the ability to run the script you just coded
directly from the editor. If you are doing web development,
it is also important to be able to display your webpage
directly from from the editor.

Two (free) editors that meet my "must have" requirements
are ConTEXT and SciTE (the latter a favorite of the AutoIt
gang).

As for myself, I have been using EditPlus (for historical
reasons), and it was easy enough to come up with the
purchase price of $30 by mowing a few lawns and washing
a few dishes.

cheers, jw

I didn't mean to imply that Notepad was usable.
I was just using Notepad as the baseline of no
special functionality. I think there are actually a
lot of editors around if one is willing to settle for
no more than basic color syntax highlighting. (Which
is, in itself, a big help.) There's even a component
(I don't remember the name) that some editors use
to incorporate basic, formula-based syntax highlighting
that can be adapted to virtually any language. And I
saw recently that there's a new version of eMacs out.
I've never used that myself, but I have a Perl friend
who likes it.

I don't have any MS Office programs, but I
thought that editor was VB. You said VBS can be
*debugged* in the Office editor. The Office editor
can also be configured as an actual VBS editor,
with appropriate VBS color syntax highlighting,
intellisense, etc.?
If that's true... and Word 97 can be had for $35
last I saw... why would anyone buy another editor?

I have had PrimalScript for some years now, but I still use MSE for a fair
amount of prototyping when COM objects are involved. In a Sub Main (or as
appropriate) I use early binding for the object to invoke intellesense. There
is no syntax highlighting (although case sensitivity corrections is a nice
touch) any different from VBA code. If you want all the features you ask,
there is a fair amount of resource available (mostly reproductions of Michael
Harris' instructions for setting up MSE). Here are a couple:

I use both Primal Script an MSE, but my version of Primal Script is old, and
I haven't updated it. My question is there away to adept Visual Express VB
or Web developer to create scripts with intellisense.?
