Based on the bestselling VBScript in a Nutshell, this small book details every VBScript language element--every statement, function, and object--both in VBScript itself and in the Microsoft Scripting Runtime Library. Entries are arranged alphabetically by topic. In addition, appendixes list VBScript operators and VBScript intrinsic constants. The VBScript Pocket Reference is the consummate quick reference for writing scripts with VBScript.
Full Description
- The syntax, using standard code conventions
- The arguments accepted by the function or procedure, if any exist

VBScript Pocket Reference Review, July 29 2003
This pocket reference is top notch! I highly recommend it. I disagree with the previous review. The entries are alphabtetical by topic which makes sense and there is a page after the table of contents which display all the entries alphabetically. It features version 5.5 of VBScript which supports creation of classes. Best of all it features an extensive section on the File System Objects which make VBScript stand out among some of the other scripting languages.
VBScript Pocket Reference Review, March 19 2003
Though the content is good, I cannot figure out why the entries are not simply alphabetical. Quick: is Split an array function or a string function?
Imagine how clumsy a dictionary would be if it were broken into separate sections for different topics.
I hope this changes with the new edition.
