How to execute a vbscript from another vbscript?

Question

For example, if I have two vbscript files: A.vbs and B.vbs. I would like the vbscript in B.vbs to execute A.vbs, such peudo-code would look like the following:

'B.vbs execute("A.vbs")

Just as simple as this line, but I couldn't really find a valid syntax to accomplish such task. Hope someone could help me out, thanks.

Dim oShell Set oShell = Wscript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell") oShell.Run "name_of_vbs_file_here.vbs" Set oShell = Nothing

that will execute a script yes but without any interaction with the calling script

The following will execute a.vbs as it were a part of the calling script itself

include "a.vbs" sub include(script) dim fso, file set fso = createObject ("Scripting.Filesystemobject") if fso.FileExists (script) then set file = fso.OpenTextFile (script) executeGlobal file.ReadAll () file.Close set file = nothing end if set fso = nothing end sub

Dim Shell Set Shell = CreateObject ("WScript.Shell") Shell.Run "a.vbs"

You can also spice it up a little by adding things like "SendKeys" or other Shells.

createobject("wscript.shell").run"a.vbs"

or if your files aren't in the same folder

createobject("wscript.shell").run"""C:\Users:\User:\YourFolder\a.vbs"""
