Computers - Software Hardware : I need help with VBScripting

Hi,

I got a question in two parts.
First part is there anyone here that can help tutor me in scripting?

Second part can anyone just help me understand what to do?

I have a scripting/programming class that is a real pain.
I read everything ask to read and follow the instructions and codes that was provided and I still have errors in completing the task.
I was not given too much info on anything so I am basically on my own and my professor said the codes/program,etc... was correct just type it in as is.

When I run the program it gets half of it correct but it always don't execute the other part of the program.
To make matters worse the professor gives solutions in riddles and it's hard to figure out the solution to the problem by following his answer.
I need this class bad and I am a few step from graduating help me please!!!!

What'cha need ?

I should be able to help you with your VBScripting.

Scripting is a bit easier than programming.

Scripts are interpreted versus programs which are complied.

First things first. Do you understand the concept of variables, loops, conditionals, etc.?
It helps to make your script (or program) as modular as possible with regard to its source code.

VBScript can either be ran through a browser or command-line (Windows Script Host).

I believe Gorilla is a programmer. He may jump in if he sees this.

What version of Windows are you running on?
What version of Windows Scripting Host do you have installed?
What version of Internet Explorer do you have installed?
The reason for this line of questioning is to ascertain your environment.

Could you also furnish the instructions of your assignment as well as the source code that is causing you issues?

visual basic was a breeze after messing with cobol and fortran....
u don't know how good u have it son....

one love

Windows 7
WSH version 5.8
Latest version of IE

I am going to provide screen shot of the instruction and source code, also the professor code.

This is the instruction and code:


· Sorry I could not paste a screen shot but here's what I was told to use that cover this task and the last:




' VBScript: PopuoWindow.vbs

' Written by: Student Name

' Date: Today's Date

' Class: COMP230

' Professor: Professor Name

' ==============================================

'Create name and age variables

msgStr = ""

Set args = WScript.Arguments

If args.Count < 2 then

WScript.Echo "You must enter the name and age as Command Line Arguments!!"

WScript.Sleep(5000)

WScript.Quit

end If

name = args.item(0)

ageStr = args.item(1)

age = 0

msgStr = msgStr & "Your name is " & vbTab & vbTab & name & vbCrLf

msgStr = msgStr & "Your age is " & vbTab & vbTab & ageStr & vbCrLf

age = CInt(ageStr)

msgStr = msgStr & vbCrLf & "Your Age in 10 years will be ...... " & _

CStr(age+10) & vbCrLf

msgStr = msgStr & "End of Program"

WScript.Echo msgStr

'Pause Routine

WScript.Sleep(6000)



I understand the header,etc... but what I have problems with is:

1. The instruction ask to delete a part of the code out and I am assuming from this he want us to change it.

2. When I execute it or run it it will just output the comments,but does not give the name,age, and age calculation.

3.The code above does not give me too much detail what to do or how to accomplish the required results he wanted.

Is there anyway to attach a file to a post? because the document I have when copy and paste keep saying error can't send a email or link when it is not a link.
