Pass Parameters to a VB Script to copy file

I have a batch file to copy files to the local desktop path that I call from my application (MAS200)....but the batch can't pass results back to the user. So, can someone give me a VB Script that I can pass parameters ie., ....

VBScriptName.vbs <PathToSourcefile> <DestinationPath>

I want to give the user a MsgBox indicating the copy results.

Thanks

Here you go:

strfile = "C:\sometextfile.txt"
 
set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
set rFile = objFSO.OpenTextFile(strFile)
Do until rFile.AtEndOfStream
	rLine = rFile.ReadLine
	If rLine <>"" then
		results = results & rLine
	End If
End
 
rFile.close
wscript.echo results

Open in new window

Will this work with this concept?
CopyScript.vbs <Sourcepath> <destinationpath>

Thanks

No it will not and I am not sure that you can pass parameters to a vbscript, but you can create a vbscript and run it from within a dos batch script. So you can pass the parameters at the time of creation. Just use the script I have provided you as a template of what to have your batch script create.
