Shell script syntax convert to VBScript
I have a script which does a great job of using the uptime.exe to output a barebones uptime number. I am wanting to use a VBScript to do the same task and have it acquire hostnames from "servers.txt". The text file has one servername per line.
Uptime.exe <servername> is the syntax for remote access.
I am inluding the existing shell script below.
@echo off
setlocal
for /f "tokens=6,7,8,10 delims=, " %%a in ('"uptime.exe"') do (
set dd=%%a%%b
set hh=%%c
set mm=%%d
)
if %hh% LSS 10 set hh=0%hh%
if %mm% LSS 10 set mm=0%mm%
set Uptime=%dd%,%hh%:%mm%
echo Uptime: %Uptime%
pause

Vinny, you are a great instructor! I appreciate the time you took to explain the details. When I finally get a handle on scripting in VB, I plan to tackle C#. But until then, I am thankful for your splendid tutelage.
basicinstinct,
thanks for your input as well. Maybe I should give a more through explanation with my next question. I am definately the learner here and am seeking ways to identify and remember good syntax. Sometimes, porting from shell to VBS helps.
Thanks both!

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
