I'd like to execute vbscript code from java

I understand that the following code executes a vbs file.

Runtime.getRuntime().exec("wscript test.vbs");

But what I need is to execute the code inside vbs file itself from java instead of having the vbs file saved in the system. In my environment I am not allowed to save vbs files in system.

I am looking for something like

Runtime.getRuntime().exec("wscript 'vbscript code itself'");

  • @JacobKrall , In my case I am not allowed to use a batch or vbs file in the system. I am looking for a solution to execute the actual vbscript code itself. – Ramsey Dec 04 '13 at 19:34

You can't. The VBScript hosts (wscript, cscript, ie, mshta) all work with input files. There is a (dated) script control that eats code, but to use that from Java, you'll have to do COM.

In your shoes I'd forget VBScript and research "scripting Java" random link.

This runs from the command line,

mshta vbscript:Execute("Dim sapi:Set sapi=CreateObject(""sapi.spvoice""):sapi.Speak ""THIS IS A TEST OF THE EMERGENCY BROADCAST SYSTEM."":set sapi=nothing ")
