WshScriptExec Object

Provides status information about a script run with Exec along with access to the StdIn, StdOut, and StdErr streams.

Remarks

The WshScriptExec object is returned by the Exec method of the WshShell object. The Exec method returns the WshScriptExec object either once the script or program has finished executing, or before the script or program begins executing.

Legacy Code Example

The following code runs calc.exe and echoes the final status to the screen.

Dim WshShell, oExec
Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

Set oExec = WshShell.Exec("calc")

Do While oExec.Status = 0
     WScript.Sleep 100
Loop

WScript.Echo oExec.Status

var WshShell = new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell");
var oExec = WshShell.Exec("calc");

while (oExec.Status == 0)
{
     WScript.Sleep(100);
}

WScript.Echo(oExec.Status);
