Alintex Script .NET consists of two executable applications - AxScript and AxWscript.  AxScript is a console application, while AxWscript is a Windows application.  Both can be used to run a script.

 

While both applications support scripts that generate a Windows type user interface, AxScript being a console application, will display a black command prompt window while running any script.  This means that it remains best suited to running command line scripts from the command prompt window itself.

 

 

Normally, a Windows application like AxWscript cannot display any console output - such output is typically ignored.   However, AxWscript DOES supports the display of console output.  Any output to the console during a script will be displayed (by default) on completion of the script as shown in the image below.

 

 

This means that AxWscript can be used for both purposes - console and windows output.  Additionally, it displays a notification icon (by default) when a script is running, provides the ability to display script information, and if required, allows one to terminate the script.

 

Java (J#) users should be aware that unlike System.Console.WriteLine, System.out.println is not captured by the AxWscript console window.  It is therefore recommended that you use the print method or System.Console.WriteLine as an alternative.

 

 

 

AxWscript is associatedAxWscript supports the /unattended option which can be used to indicate that the script should run without user intervention.
