Hello

I am in the process of upgrade from an older x86 version to the latest x64 version.
How can I translate "basic script" where the code is in an external file, in the new version?

Thanks in advance
Christophe

May I see your old task and the script?
Maybe I can help you. The language is very similar but there are some difference.

Yes but the pb is that I have a lot of "basic task" with the code in an external file.
So I hope to find a solution to replace by a VB script task, with code in external file.
And so I need to change my scripts once :-)

Look at the screenshot how to include text from external file

Another way (more preferred):
use this text in VB Script text (for example)

Code: Select all

execute include("C:\temp\test.vbs")
