VBScript Compilation Error

Hello Experts,

I have updated the question with new question see above

I'm not familiar with SecureCRT, but on line 91 you are referencing an object named "objNewTab" that you never created in a prior Set statement.  That looks like the cause of the error.

Billprew,

Thanks for responding. I'm extremely new to scripting. Can you tell me where I need to create the 'Set' statement?

Cheers

Hello Experts,

I changed the script to add the 'Set' statement as originally created. However, I'm now getting the error message shown in the attachment.

    ' Make sure that we are running in Synchronous mode so
    ' that when WaitForStrings() finds something, we can
    ' capture the current line without risk of it already
    ' having flown by on the screen.  This slows things down
    ' a bit, but provides insurance against errors due to
    ' SecureCRT and the script running asynchronously.
    crt.Screen.Synchronous = true

    crt.Screen.Send "tail tailfile.txt" & vbcr

  ' Example #1: Uses WaitForString to look for just the text
  '             we care about.  Once the text is found, the
  '             line on which the text was located is captured
  '             and a piece of information is parsed using the
  '             Split() builtin VBScript method.
    CaptureJustTheLinesWeCareAbout

  ' Example #2: Uses WaitForString to detect when every new line
  '             arrives from the remote.  Each line of text is
  '             captured, and the Instr() builtin VBScript
  '             function is used to detect the presence of the
  '             specific text we care about.  Iff it is present,
  '             the Split() builtin VBScript method is used to
  '             parse out the relevant piece of information.
  '
  '             The benefit of this method over
  '             CaptureJustTheLinesWeCareAbout is that we
  '             can retrieve information from the line if
  '             the text we care about comes prior to the
  '             relevant piece of information that we would
  '             like to display as part of our notification.
