Something like Powershell ISE (Integrated Scripting Environment) can detect and will show you when you have improper syntax and outlines issues underlining in red. This is built-in to all windows machines. You also need to be running at least powershell v2.0 for ISE to be available. <br />

I would like to use a program that would examing a vbs, powershell or batch script and try to indicate where an error might be in the code.<br />
Especially useful where echo is off and one needs to see where there is a problem in a script.<br />
Is there such a Windows program or editor which can breakdown the script and tell you where there might be problems?

What program can look at a script and indicate where a problem is?

VBScript (Visual Basic Scripting Edition) is an interpreted scripting language developed by Microsoft that is modeled on Visual Basic, but with some important differences. VBScript is commonly used for automating administrative and other tasks in Windows operating systems (by means of the Windows Script Host) and for server-side scripting in ASP web applications. It is also used for client-side scripting in Internet Explorer, specifically in intranet web applications.

Batch files are text files containing a script of commands that are executed by the command interpreter on DOS, OS/2 and Windows systems. Most commonly, they are used to perform a series of functions that are repeated -- copying a set of files created daily with one step, for example.

Software is any set of instructions that directs a computer to perform specific tasks or operations. Computer software consists of programs, libraries and related non-executable data (such as documentation). Computer software is non-tangible, contrasted with computer hardware, which is the physical component of computers. Software written in a machine language is known as "machine code". However, in practice, software is usually written in high-level programming languages than machine language. High-level languages are translated into machine language using a compiler or interpreter or a combination of the two.
