Reports the specific character in a line of code that contains an error.
Object.Character |
Arguments
- Object
-
WshRemoteError object.
Remarks
The Character property returns a signed long integer.
Some errors are not associated with a particular character position. For example, consider the error Expected End If. In this case, there is no line (a line of code is missing). In such a case, the Character property returns zero (0).
The character position is based on an offset of one (1) (the first character in a line resides at position one).
Example
The following JScript code demonstrates how the WshRemoteError object exposes the character in the line of code that contained the error.
Visual Basic Script  | ![]() |
---|---|
Dim Controller, RemoteScript Set Controller = WScript.CreateObject("WSHController") Set RemoteScript = Controller.CreateScript("test.js", "remoteserver") WScript.ConnectObject RemoteScript, "remote_" RemoteScript.Execute Do While RemoteScript.Status <> 2 WScript.Sleep 100 Loop Sub remote_Error Dim theError Set theError = RemoteScript.Error WScript.Echo "Error - Line: " & theError.Line & ", Char: " & theError.Character & vbCrLf & "Description: " & theError.Description WScript.Quit -1 End Sub |
JScript  | ![]() |
---|---|
var Controller = WScript.CreateObject("WSHController"); var RemoteScript = Controller.CreateScript("test.js", "remoteserver"); WScript.ConnectObject(RemoteScript, "remote_"); RemoteScript.Execute(); while (RemoteScript.Status != 2) { WScript.Sleep(100); } function remote_Error() { var theError = RemoteScript.Error; WScript.Echo("Error - Line: " + theError.Line + ", Char: " + theError.Character + "\nDescription: " + theError.Description); WScript.Quit(-1); } |
