inline-vbs

inline-vbs is a crate that allows you to embed VBScript code inside Rust code files. It uses the Active Scripting COM APIs to dynamically parse and execute (optionally, evaluate) code.

Basic usage

use inline_vbs::*;

fn main() {
    vbs![On Error Resume Next]; // tired of handling errors?
    vbs![MsgBox "Hello, world!"];
    if let Ok(Variant::String(str)) = vbs_!["VBScript" & " Rocks!"] {
        println!("{}", str);
    }
}

Installation

Add this to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
inline-vbs = "0.1"

Important: You need to have the MSVC Build Tools installed on your computer, and you may need to run the vsdevcmd.bat script in your terminal to set up the build environment:

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Enterprise\Common7\Tools\VsDevCmd.bat" -arch=amd64

(replace with the path of your VS installation)
