Chapter 26. Library: File-System Utilities
The file-system utility library provides functions for working with files and folders. Through batch script (.WS) files, you can access these utility functions in any of your scripts. The sections that follow show you the source of the library, as well as how the library can be used.
Examining the File-System Utility Library
Listing 26-1 shows the file-system utility library script. When calling this script from JScript, be sure to pass path information in JScript format with double slashes as folder separators. You do not need to do this from VBScript. Windows Script Host automatically transforms VBScript paths into JScript paths when you call JScript functions from VBScript.
