VBScript is not perfect but it is still good enough. Today I have come across two problems and learned the workaround.
1. There is currently no ‘Exit While’ statement compared to ‘Exit For’. For example, if you want to break the while loop, such as following, you will have a “Microsoft VBScript compilation error: Invalid ‘exit’ statement” error.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 | Dim i: i = 1 While i < 100 i = i + 1 If i > 50 Then Exit While End If Wend |
Dim i: i = 1 While i < 100 i = i + 1 If i > 50 Then Exit While End If Wend
The workaround is to use Do While … Loop, and break the loop using Exit Do instead:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 | Dim i: i = 1 Do While i < 100 i = i + 1 If i > 50 Then Exit Do End If Loop |
Dim i: i = 1 Do While i < 100 i = i + 1 If i > 50 Then Exit Do End If Loop
2. The Trim function does not remove the carriage return i.e. CHR(13) + CHR(10) and tab. The correct way is to use following:
1 | newstring = Trim(Replace(Replace(oldstring, vbCrLf, ""), vbTab, "")) |
newstring = Trim(Replace(Replace(oldstring, vbCrLf, ""), vbTab, ""))
