OBJECT:  WshArguments

The WshArguments object is a read-only collection object that contains the argument list passed to the host executable (accessible through the WScript.Arguments property). This object cannot be instantiated directly. It can only be accessed through the WScript object.

As with all collection objects, the WshArguments collection can be iterated using the VBScript "For Each .. In" statement, but cannot be iterated using the JScript "for .. in" syntax.

PROPERTIES

Syntax: object[.Item](lngIndex)

length Property
The length property is read only and returns a Long value which is the number of items in the collection. For JScript consistency, length should be lowercase.

Syntax: object.length


 
METHODS

Count Method
The Count method returns a Long value which is the number of items in the collection.

Syntax: object.Count()

Item Method
The Item method is the default method of the WshArguments object. It references an array of strings containing the arguments. If lngIndex is specified, this method returns the element in the collection at the specified position. Indexing starts at zero. If there is no element at the requested index, a "Subscript out of range" error is generated.

Syntax: object.Item([lngIndex])
