Shared Libraries with ASP / WSH

I'm developing a library of JavaScript functions (could just as easily be VBScript). Right now, they're in a file called lib.js that can be included in a WSH .wsf file via the SCRIPT tag.

If I convert lib.js file to lib.asp by adding SCRIPT tags within the file itself, I can include lib.asp in other ASP scripts (but then I can no longer use it with WSH).

I hate the thought of manually keeping these two files in sync. While I could write a short script to add the necessary wrapper around the .js file, that's an ugly hack at best. How can I combine lib.js & lib.asp into ONE file that can be included from BOTH ASP and WSH?

i never tried this, but create 2 files for include with asp, with just the tags.

===========
file starttag.inc
===========
<%
===========

===========
file endtag.inc
===========
%>
===========

then in asp include like this:

Nice thought, but:

using <% %> tags:
Active Server Pages, ASP 0116 (0x80004005)
The Script block lacks the close of script tag (%>).
/.../start.inc, line 1

using SCRIPT tags:
Active Server Pages, ASP 0117 (0x80004005)
The Script block lacks the close of script tag (</SCRIPT>) or close of tag symbol (>).
/.../start.inc, line 1

Thanks for trying!

and what about using the html <script> tag in your asp:

<script scr="yourlib.asp" language="jscript" runat="server"/>

(never tried that either...)

no, that sounds weird, it's a client tag, won't work.
