See more JavaScript Examples

Demonstrates how to call a JavaScript function that returns a boolean. VBScript

Dim fso, outFile
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
'Create a Unicode (utf-16) output text file.
Set outFile = fso.CreateTextFile("output.txt", True, True)

'  This is the JavaScript function we'll call:

'  function isEven(number) {
'      return number % 2 === 0;
'  }

set sbScript = CreateObject("Chilkat.StringBuilder")
success = sbScript.Append("function isEven(number) { return number % 2 === 0; }")

set js = CreateObject("Chilkat.Js")

set result = CreateObject("Chilkat.JsonObject")
result.EmitCompact = 0

'  Call Eval to add the function to the context's global object
success = js.Eval(sbScript,result)
If (success = 0) Then
    '  Examine the result for an exception.
    outFile.WriteLine(result.Emit())

    '  Also examine the LastErrorText.
    outFile.WriteLine(js.LastErrorText)
