Re: [MSH] Requires an executable on the RHS of a pipe?

Actually, this already works in cmd.exe, as long as the program supports it.

Hello, world!

C:\temp>

I had to change the registry association of vbs files to run the console scripting host (cscript.exe,) though. That is in
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\VBSFile\Shell\Open\Command

Current public builds don't handle this very well, and basically run
invoke-item on it. That uses the Windows ShellExecute API, and opens
a new console window when the script runs.

Our current development branch handles files like .vbs, .pl, etc much
better. We use the Windows FindExecutable API to search for the
program responsible for the file, and run it in the same console
window.

Hi Lee,

Thanks for the explanation.

Is there any chance on getting this fixed in Cmd.exe? :-(

Thanks!
