ActiveXObject

This class lets you use COM automation in scripts. It has the same functionality as the comparable class in Windows Script Host.

You can create ActiveX objects as follows:

// Method 1:
var p = new ActiveXObject("{CB3DF937-8DBB-4130-8A11-D47E12F61315}");
// Here, the argument is the CLSID
// of the object you want to create.
//Method 2:
var p = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
// ProgID is the argument.

After you have created the object, you can access its methods, read and write its properties.

In case of error, an exception is generated, represented by an ActiveXError object. This object class contains the following fields:

• number
  Error code

• text
  Message that corresponds to the error code

• description
  An optional description of the error

In the following example, possible exceptions are caught:

try
{
var p = new ActiveXObject("SomeCOMObject.ProgID");
p.method();
}
catch( err )
{
      print( "Error: " + err );
}

File

FileSystemObject

Use "MBCS", "UTF-8", "UTF-16LE" or "UTF-16BE" only if you know for certain what file encoding is used. Otherwise, use "UTF-16" (platform specific) or "Auto". This is the default, which uses the byte order mask (BOM) to detect file encoding.

The following table shows how the encoding is determined from the BOM and explicitly specified format parameter.

*In the table "p. s." stands for platform-specific byte order.
