Learning VBScript

For all good reasons :) I'm learning VBScript

From Wikipedia link.

• VBSB (Visual Basic Scripting Edition)
• Can be used to write and embed function in web pages
• Besides javascript, vbscript that can be used to code client-side scripting in a web browser
• QTP tool uses VBScript

1. Download vbsedit from link. Evaluation version does not expire

2. Get Started with Hello World Example

MsgBox "Hello World"

3. Next is Example using variables and conversions

Dim varTest
'Variable Naming Convention - starts with var
varTest = "12" 
MsgBox TypeName(varTest)
'Convert Variable to Integer
varTest = CInt(varTest)
MsgBox TypeName(varTest)

4. Next is Prime Number calculation example using functions


Option Explicit
'Option Explicit - explicitly declare all variables 
Dim varTest
varTest = InputBox("Please Enter Number")
CheckPrime(varTest)
'Function to check for Prime Number
Function CheckPrime(varTest)
Dim i
Dim flag, reminder
flag = 0
i = 2
'Do While Condition Example
Do
 flag = 0
 reminder = varTest Mod i
 If reminder = 0 Then
   MsgBox "Not Prime"
   flag = 1
 End If   
 i=i+1
Loop While flag=0 And i<varTest-1     
If flag=0 then
 MsgBox "Prime Number"
End IF 
End Function
