I have this script saved in "test.vbs":
Set FSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set File = FSO.OpenTextFile(workFolder &"\test.txt", 2, True)
File.Write "testing"
File.Close
Set File = Nothing
Set FSO = Nothing
Set workFolder = NothingWhen I run the script I want to pass the value of the "workFolder" variable.
How can I do this? Can I do it? Something like "cscript test.vbs workFolder:'C:\temp\'" perhaps?
Bonus question: Is it neccessary to clean up the passed variable with "Set workFolder = Nothing" or does VBSCript do that automatically when it terminates? Maybe "Set File = Nothing" and "Set FSO = Nothing" is unneccessary also? Please let me know if you know the answer to both these questions.
