Since this deals with both I figured I would drop it here.. ;)

In the process of trying to fix a rabid plugin that I assumed was crashing due to a script engine problem I found these links:

http://download.microsoft.com/download/winscript56/Install/5.6/W982KMeXP/EN-US/scr56en.exe

http://download.microsoft.com/download/winscript56/Install/5.6/W982KMeXP/EN-US/scrdoc56en.exe

The first one is an upgrade to v5.6 of windows scripting and installs the updated versions of javascript and vbscript. The second one is a complete help file from all windows scripting and includes sections for commands and such for both script languages. Whether this is actually better than the old vbscript 5.5 help I posted a link to here before I am as yet not sure. ;)

Good point. I was going crazy yesterday trying to get regular expressions to work in VB, when I realised my version of VBscript was too early to support them.

The first link doesn't seem to work any more, however the documentation one does.

I've put hyperlinks to those files at the head of the VBscript and Jscript sections of the forum. Thanks.
