pass arguments from batch file to VBScript File -

i trying pass arguments batch file vb script file.

set inputfile ="c:\temp\inputfile_mod.csv" set outputfile = "c:\temp\outputfile.dat" 

i tried pass variables below not getting vbscript file.

cscript sfevbmacro.vbs  inputfile outputfile 

but if pass direct path of files below working fine

cscript sfevbmacro.vbs  c:\temp\inputfile_mod.csv c:\temp\outputfile.dat. 

is there wrong in passing arguments variables?

vbscript code:

set args = wscript.arguments inputfile = wscript.arguments.unnamed(0) createdfilepath = wscript.arguments.unnamed(1)  sub readcsvfile()    set objfiletoread = objfso.opentextfile(inputfile,1)    rem read csv file end sub readcsvfile 

can can please.

there 2 problems in code. first 1 variable assignment

set inputfile ="c:\temp\inputfile_mod.csv"              ^ set outputfile = "c:\temp\outputfile.dat"               ^ ^ 

the spaces indicated included in variable name (when placed in left side of equal) , in value stored (right side of equal)

it habit quote value assignment prevent problems special characters, recomended syntax is

set "inputfile=c:\temp\inputfile_mod.csv" set "outputfile=c:\temp\outputfile.dat" 

where quotes protect assignment, there no spaces around equal sign , note that, syntax, quotes not stored in variable value.

the second problem how use variables. vbscript code not expect 2 variable names, 2 file names. so, don't have pass variable names, values stored inside them. in batch files done using %varname%.

set "inputfile=c:\temp\inputfile_mod.csv" set "outputfile=c:\temp\outputfile.dat"  cscript sfevbmacro.vbs "%inputfile%" "%outputfile%" 

the batch parser replace variable read operation value inside variable , execute command.

if prefer pass variable names (your original code) instead of variable values, can it, vbscript should changed retrieve variables contents

with wscript.createobject("wscript.shell").environment("process")     inputfile = .item( wscript.arguments.unnamed(0) )     createdfilepath = .item( wscript.arguments.unnamed(1) ) end 

as code receives environment variable names, need use environment property of wscript.shell instance retrieve variable contents process environment.
