Calling Script in Diadem Plugin

[LabVIEW_Vish]

Hi All,

I would like to excute some VB Script in Diadem plugin.

I got good help from

http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=60&message.id=2889&query.id=50599#M2889

But in this case, If I make a vbs file directly then this program does not work properly.

First I need to make a text file and then save the same as vbs file !!!!!!!

Does any one has idea, why is it so?

Regards,
Vishal.

Hi Vishal,

Without looking at it any closer, I'd guess you're running into an encoding problem.  DIAdem 9.x saves VBScript files by default in Unicode, not ANSI.  Depending how you are calling the VBScript from within your DataPlugin, this could be a stumbling block.

Note that you can change a SCRIPT panel setting in order to save VBScripts with ANSI encoding.  Or you can read out every other byte from the VBScript file before running it with the Execute function.

Let me know if you need more info,
