   Hello all,   
      
   Using XPsp3.   
      
   A few days ago I tried to redirect some commandline output into a vbscript,   
   which than should be able to read it using "wscript.stdin.readline".   
      
   Examples:   
   echo hello | myvbscript   
   myvbscript < data.txt   
      
   Alas, all I got was an "invalid handle" error. :-(   
      
      
   The thing is, it works well enough when I explicitily specify wscript like   
   this   
      
   echo hello | wscript.exe myvbscript.vbs   
   wscript.exe myvbscript.vbs < data.txt   
      
   IOW, it likely has something to do with how the OS connects the .VBS   
   extension to the executable needing to run it, and than launches it.   
      
   Question:   
      
   Does anyone here know what to change in the registry to enable wscript to   
   recieve the piped / redirected output ?   
      
   Regards,

   ps:   
   I know that I can wrap the vbscript in a few lines of batch script and work   
   around the problem that way, but thats (work-arounds) not what I'm looking   
   for.
