Windows Automation with WinBatch


 

Scripting with WinBatch

 

Winbatch's Windows Interface Language (WIL) is a library of core functions which can be used to automate Windows clients and NT servers. Available also are a number of free add-on special-purpose WIL Extenders that handle tasks such as automating sending and retrieving mail (the Postie Extender), zipping and unzipping files (the Zipper Extender), ftping and posting information to web pages (the WinInet Extender), handling complex ADSI management (the ADSI Extender), and handle pushbutton, radiobuttons, and drop-down menus behind-the-scenes with the Control Manager Extender, just to mention a few.

With its compiler, WinBatch+Compiler makes Windows utilities for unlimited runtime distribution.

WinBatch stands out in the crowd by virtue of its wide range of capabilities. It automates the OS, all software running on it, networking, and Internetworking.

Microsoft has flattered us by issuing a rollout utility, called Scriptit, compiled with our 97D version of WinBatch+Compiler. If you find Scriptit limiting, as you move to automate tasks on Windows 98 and later versions of Windows, you can use our Scriptit to WinBatch translator available here.

Of course, we recommend you use WinBatch+Compiler for your rollout utilities. When it comes to distributing in-house software, WinBatch has the depth to handle every situation. Between the core language and its language "extenders", the number of functions is now over 1,000. Although you may initially need only a few, when the need arises, WinBatch will be ready to provide an answer.

As you evaluate WinBatch, please feel free to contact our technical support staff. Their email is . Our phone support is 206-937-9335. We know you will be glad you tried WinBatch.

WinBatch Components

 

Products:

WinBatch, $99.95, is the single PC version. WinBatch+Compiler, $495, adds a compiler for unlimited runtimes. WebBatch, $295, is our Windows Interface Language applied to CGI scripting on Windows Web servers. All products include a copy of WinBatch.

WinBatch Interpreter: WINBATCH.EXE

When installed, WINBATCH.EXE associates itself with files with .WBT extensions so that you can double click on .WBT files in Explorer to launch your Winbatch scripts on machines with Winbatch installed. The Winbatch Interpreter does not need to be installed for compiled standalone WIL scripts.

WinBatch Compiler: WBCOMPILER.EXE

The Compiler allows you to compile standalone EXEs that can be distributed on an unlimited basis.

Help Files:

The Winbatch.hlp file, includes the tutorial, and the Windows Interface Language.hlp file contains the core language functions. See the special-purpose free add-on WIL Extenders (in the WIL Extenders folder of your CD) for each of their help files. Or download the Download Utility, vcheck.zip, to get all the latest WIL Extenders from: Download Utility

Integrated Development Environment: WINBATCH STUDIO.EXE

The Winbatch code editor, WinBatch Studio, an Integrated Development Environment (IDE), is included with the downloaded and CD-ROM copies of all our products. Winbatch Studio features extensive right mouse button access to all help files and functions.

More Sample solutions:

http://techsupt.winbatch.com. More are in the Wilson WindowWare web BBS at our Tech Bulletin Board: Tech BBS. Also, search the Web for WinBatch in Web pages or newsgroups.

Networking, both MS and Novell, and Internetworking.

Advanced networking support is included in the WinBatch.zip demo download file. See the Win32 Network Extender.HLP file and the Netware.HLP file which are both installed in your Winbatch Start Menu. TCP/IP utilities are included in the Internet WinInet, Winsock, and Postie Extenders. The latter automates emailing.

WinMacro macro recorder

WinBatch 2001 and versions beyond now have a sophisticated re-engineered macro recorder. It can record keystrokes, and mouse moves and has many playback options. Recordings can be translated into WIL script format. You can find the WinMacro recorder in the WinBatch PopMenu toolbar icon on the SysTray.

Application Manipulation

SendKeys, SendKeysTo, SendMenusTo, SendKeysChild, and DDE are documented in the main Windows Interface Language help file. The macro recorder is located on our PopMenu. ODBC operations are handled in the ODBC extender. GUI manipulation is in the Control Manager extender. See the many free add-on WIL Extenders on our Download page or in your "WIL Extenders" folder on your CD-ROM.

From: mssms] Re: Off-Topic: NT printing question

I can never stress enough the importance of WinBatch in an SMS Admin`s life.

There is a command in WB that allows you to RUNAS. You use RUNAS and the name and password of a user account that has admin rights and everything after that script item will run as if you were logged in as that person.
