Stopping a VBS script through WSH

[Guest joelee]

How do i stop a script within the script?

I wish for the script to stop if a certain condition is met.

I thought it was something like "Close" or "Exit"

Never had to do this, but I dug some info up for you.

There is IActiveScriptSiteInterruptPoll, with the single method QueryContinue(). Both the VBScript and JScript engines query for it, and when you return S_FALSE from QueryContinue(), the script stops executing.

So say you wanted to run a script within a user interface. While the script is running, you display a "please wait" dialog box with a "stop" button on it. When the user presses the button, set your m_bQuit flag to TRUE, and then implement QueryContinue like this.

STDMETHOD(QueryContinue)()

{

// ... pump any windows messages so the stop button can be pressed

if (m_bQuit)

return S_FALSE;

return S_OK;

}

wscipt.Quit (interrorcode)

intErrorCode

Optional. Integer value returned as the process's exit code. If you do not include the intErrorCode parameter, no value is returned.

or you could just set a flag and bypass remaing code if flag is set

here is vbscript language reference.

If MyCondition = XYZ Then
wscipt.Quit 
MsgBox "Action canceled"
End If

I don't know what else you would need...

I forgot to mention that there won't be any user interaction as it's a script set to run in the night/morning
