i'm trying to use it in a .vbs.  the pager number will be a variable
and the message will be a variable.  the wscript syntax looks like
this:

this will work perfect.  but when i try using variables i can't get it
right to make it work. example:

space=chr(32)
pager="1234567"
msg="This is my text message."
ending=chr(34) + chr(41) ' this is the ending characters= ")

anybody know how to handle this so i can use variables?

tia

Dim sCommand, sPager, sMsg, sProgram, sDomain

sProgram = "nvpage.exe"
sPager = "1234567"

sMsg=""This is my text message.""    ' Please note double quotes!

sCommand = sProgram & " " & sPager & sDomain & " " & sMsg
wscript.run( sCommand )

I didn't test it, but it should work.

Space is a function and can't be used as a variable name.

: i have an external executable that will do paging.
: it is 'nvpage.exe'.
: the cmd line looks like this:

I asked the same thing on the copy of this question posted over in the vbscript ng...

I _do_ wish people would learn to cross-post (reasonably of course ;-)...

  wscript.run?  What is that?

Example
The following example runs Microsoft Notepad and opens the currently
running script:
Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WshShell.Run ("%windir%\notepad" & WScript.ScriptFullName)
The following example returns the error code from the executed
application:
Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Return = WshShell.Run("notepad " & WScript.ScriptFullName, 1, TRUE)

i use it mostly for Windows NT 'NET SEND', 'MAILTO', and 'NVPAGE,
which are messaging programs on my local area network.

So it was a typo in your original post that had "wscript.run(...)"...

  it creates a new process that executes 'strCommand'

  Example
  The following example runs Microsoft Notepad and opens the currently
  running script:
  Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
  WshShell.Run ("%windir%\notepad" & WScript.ScriptFullName)
  The following example returns the error code from the executed
  application:
  Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
  Return = WshShell.Run("notepad " & WScript.ScriptFullName, 1, TRUE)
