Character Property
Reports the specific character in a line of code that contains an error.
Object.Character
Arguments
- Object
WshRemoteError object.
Remarks
The Character property returns a signed long integer.
Some errors are not associated with a particular character position. For example, consider the error Expected End If. In this case, there is no line (a line of code is missing). In such a case, the Character property returns zero (0).
The character position is based on an offset of one (1) (the first character in a line resides at position one).
Example
The following JScript code demonstrates how the WshRemoteError object exposes the character in the line of code that contained the error.
Dim Controller, RemoteScript
Set Controller = WScript.CreateObject("WSHController")
Set RemoteScript = Controller.CreateScript("test.js", "remoteserver")
WScript.ConnectObject RemoteScript, "remote_"
RemoteScript.Execute
Do While RemoteScript.Status <> 2
WScript.Sleep 100
Loop
Sub remote_Error
Dim theError
Set theError = RemoteScript.Error
WScript.Echo "Error - Line: " & theError.Line & ", Char: " & theError.Character & vbCrLf & "Description: " & theError.Description
WScript.Quit -1
End Sub
var Controller = WScript.CreateObject("WSHController");
var RemoteScript = Controller.CreateScript("test.js", "remoteserver");
WScript.ConnectObject(RemoteScript, "remote_");
RemoteScript.Execute();
while (RemoteScript.Status != 2) {
WScript.Sleep(100);
}
function remote_Error()
{
var theError = RemoteScript.Error;
WScript.Echo("Error - Line: " + theError.Line + ", Char: " + theError.Character + "\nDescription: " + theError.Description);
WScript.Quit(-1);
}
