Hi,

I'm running a console script, and from within it starting another console
app.  At the moment it creates a new window for the new app, but is there
any way to make it run within the same app?

cscript first.js

first.js--
    WScript.Echo( "in 1" );
    var shell = new ActiveXObject( "WScript.Shell" );
    shell.Run( "cscript second.js", 1, true );

second.js--
    WScript.Echo( "in 2" );

So I want to see in the same console window...

in 1
in 2

However at the moment I see

in 1

in the first window, and then another window created and

in 2

in that.

Any ideas for how to get a sub process running sharing the same console?

Brodie.

In WScript 5.6 beta 1, the WshShell object has a new Exec method that does exactly that...
