Example
The following code starts a batch file and waits for the user input prompt. After entering the needed data through the StdIn stream, the batch file will be able to complete.
Dim WshShell, oExec, input
Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Set oExec = WshShell.Exec("test.bat")
input = ""
Do While True
If Not oExec.StdOut.AtEndOfStream Then
input = input & oExec.StdOut.Read(1)
If InStr(input, "Press any key") <> 0 Then Exit Do
End If
WScript.Sleep 100
Loop
oExec.StdIn.Write VbCrLf
Do While oExec.Status <> 1
WScript.Sleep 100
Loop
var WshShell = new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell");
var oExec = WshShell.Exec("test.bat");
var input = "";
while (true)
{
if (!oExec.StdOut.AtEndOfStream)
{
input += oExec.StdOut.Read(1);
if (input.indexOf("Press any key") != -1)
break;
}
WScript.Sleep(100);
}
oExec.StdIn.Write("\n");
while (oExec.Status != 1)
WScript.Sleep(100);
