The only things I know are:
[switch] is optional
[switch1 | switch2] are both optional, but only one or the other can be used.
What about {switch}, or any of the others? I've tried looking online and I can only find PowerShell help syntax, but that's not exactly what I'm looking for.
To clear up any confusing, im not talking about a specific command in partiular, im just asking about how all command help pages are written.hope that makes sence
Microsoft Corporation describes the help syntax.

Ok, found it. wasnt sure how to look it up but i found it.

ok so i created some programs , and instead of sharing them then receiving replies that it's not working, i'd prefer to test them first ! basically as i said it's gonna be very useful if it doesn't require installing anything on my computer like VirtualBox... perhaps something online .
and i did some researches on stackover and i didn't find any results , the last post talking about the same problem was closed as "too broad" , so i will really appreciate any efforts , and thank you for reading this, i'll be more thankful if you don't close or downvote this for no reason :D
Can somebody please guide me in the right direction of creating a scripting language that targets the WSH (Windows Scripting Host)?
I have googled for it, but there seem to be far fewer links related to this than when I originally searched for it a few months back.
THank you
The product is now called "Windows Script Host". The MSDN documentation suggests that what you want is a Windows Script Engine, about which the documentation claims that you can create one for any programming language or environment—presumably including one you create yourself. Beyond that, the documentation is not terribly clear.
You should be able to find all necessary information about creating Windows Script engines on MSDN; other than that there seems to be no resources available (at least I couldn't find any). You can also take a look at some open-source engine implementations to get the idea of what your code should look like:
PHPScript
ActiveScriptRuby
Open Object Rexx
If you have any specific questions about implementing Windows Script interfaces, feel free to ask them here. Good luck!
Topic starter need to carefully read the script56.chm, which can be found on MSDN. This help file describes WSH engine specification.
Well I am sure that most people have seen the following:
This time, I did not install the local MSDN so I do not have the option of Local help, however I usually always use the first option of look online anyway.
I was wondering if there are any downsides to not installing MSDN?
The only one I have found so far is that dynamic help does not seem to work. As this is a feature I love, I think I will install MSDN.
I was just wondering, are there any other downsides and what do others use?
Edit -
It is hard to really select one answer here and I did various experiments and came up with my own conclusion. They are all good points so +1 to everyone - I was going to put this as an answer and mark it, but that feels rather cheap... so I have edited the question and will have to think about who to mark as answer.
I have been experimenting with different combinations and it is weird to say the least. On a new project, I just pressed F1 at random places and it is amazing that the differences are huge in the pages which are returned - For example, just selecting a <form> tag and pressing F1 came up with 100% different results between online and offline help.
I love the dynamic help feature but I always have an internet connection... I am confused and just not sure what I should do! Another benefit I have found is that through offline help, you can sync the sidebar and navigate around VERY quickly and find other articles - which is much harder online.
I think I will install help, but I am really not that happy... I hope the help feature is improved in VS2010 (haven't had a chance to play around or see) because it shouldn't be this hard to try and choose!
#blaketaylor.nameindex.ht - I personally find Google a bit mucky when I just want to figure out one property or item etc... I like looking in MSDN / Documentation first as there is usually a good example and then just look at Google after if I cannot figure it out - the dynamic help feature is a brilliant feature which I love and skips straight to the correct part in the library, and you do not get this without installing help.
#Shiraz Bhaiji - Agreed with your points, however, I think 2GB's is not really huge. I like your comparison.
#Yassir - It disabled the dynamic help feature, 2GB's isn't huge, I do like Google and SO but I like to try and get it done on my own first.
#Stephen Nutt - Agreed about speed, but it isn't really by much. How do you see local and online help at the same time? I love Dynamic help but when I click a link, it goes straight to local help and I see no options.
I have never found the local help to be of any use. I stopped installing it years ago and have never looked back.
Google is my help.
The main downside to not installing local help is that you do not have access to help if you do not have access to the internet.
The benefits of not having it local are:
Always up to date
Does not use space on your harddisk
I really don't think you might need it unless you don't have no internet connection all the time
also it takes about 2Gb of your hard drive !!
All you need is google and SO :)
I always use local help - it is much faster to navigate around in. When I do a search it always brings up the results count in my local help and online, if I see nothing in my local help I just click on the online tab and see the online search results.
Can anyone point me to some good tutorials on the make utility.
Something that will take me through beginners to advanced and let me write and understand professional make file which come with various linux packages.
some book also might help.
I googled for this , but there are so many. I dont know which one to read.
Thanks.
You can try out "Managing Projects with GNU Make (Nutshell Handbooks)" book from ORielly publication. It is a nice book for understanding Make Utility.
You can find the details at: http://www.amazon.com/dp/0596006101?tag=flazx-20&camp=14573&creative=327641&linkCode=as1&creativeASIN=0596006101&adid=0EN45W92PQCA28N8JJW2&
The GNU Make Manual is quite complete and contains many examples.
I must be getting daft, but I can't seem to find how to read old-fashioned ini files with VB 6.0. All I can seem to find is about reading from and writing to the registry. Can someone push me in the right direction? Mind you, I am not a programmer, just a hobbyist trying to have some harmless fun with his computer, so please don't be to harsh when you point out the bleedin' obvious.
See the top answer on this thread. Nope, it's no different in VB! :-)
Use the GetPrivateProfile* functions. Some examples of how to do this with a Declare statement are here:
