PrimalScript 4.0 Pro
Love the collapsable regions, the syntax hilighting, the syntax helper... all very nice.

Plus, work paid for it! w00T!

I use it exclusively for my vbs stuff. Now, when I have to do batch files... notepad. I've tried doing batch in Primalscript, but the colors make me start thinking 'vbs', and I start building arrays in a batch file before I realize what I'm doing!

ahhh the YADL syndrome, I know it well. (YADL = Yet Another Damn Language)

try this on for size, keep in mind this was all within a week or so, and all fairly big projects:

at home - perl and bash (admin scripts for my *nix boxes), tcl for an eggdrop I run and I started learning python that week, IIRC
at work - vbs and batch (admin scripts for work)
at school - java and vb.net (final projects for 2 different classes)

needless to say, I was seriously syntactically confused for awhile!! Switch/case doesnt work too well in vb.net lol

click the "my site" link in my sig, go to projects and code. I have a few things there, but not as many as I'd like.

I use VBSEdit from AderSoft. Very easy to use and lots of features. Not too expensive, either. Notepad is okay but I prefer syntax coloring so I don't go crazy.

I'm new to VBS and am still using notepad.

I'm in the process of evaluating vbsedit and primalscript now.

I use a program called VBSEditor from www.koansoftware.com. It has highlights syntax different colors depending on the type of syntax you are using. It is not tabbed, but for a newbie to scripting, its a great tool (oh yeah, its free and a stand-alone executable). great to put on a jump drive and have an editor for home, work, or for using to edit scripts for use on a client machine if need be. IMHO its a great editor.

I just grabbed a copy. It looks like a good little editor for the price. I think I will stick with primalscript though since I didn't have to pay for it.

I started off using notepad straight out of windows.
Now I use VBSEdit from AderSoft.
I like the coloring syntax, reminds me of Visual Basic.
The price wasn't too bad and its very light.

Since I write VB.Net code also, I just use the editor in Visual Studio... I like the dynamic help feature. If I didn't already use VS, I wouldn't pick it for VBScript as it is expensive.

I eavluated OnScript when it was beta. It had some issues at that time, but it looked like it should be ok once they worked them out. I haven't looked at it since then though.

Well just for comparison, I downloaded PrimalScript just to try. So far I've noticed a few niceties..

1) Primal script can compile my Vbscripts to an executable, OnScript cannot
2) Primal Script has it's own debugger, OnScript calls the Microsoft Debugger (which can get annoying when i'm trying to set a breakpoint and step through, it first brings up and error and debugs in MS Editor)
3) OnScript will keep a list open of the last files you worked with even if the program was closed and reopened..(Very nice for when I want to have 3 or more files open, (OS actually keeps them open)

4) Onscript is FAR cheaper then PrimalScript

My thoughts,,,if you want total power go for PS, if you just want a good editor that works great with VBScript the use OS

:)

Yeah...as I said somewhere in this forum, I probably only use PrimalScript because work pays for it. :)

You can do the same thing without Primal. Essentially all that Primal is doing is creating a self-extracting zip executable that extracts to the temp dir and runs the script.

I'm in the stone age I guess.....

I use HTML-Kit (free). I don't lean on it too much though. It does do some nice things with colors to help me out syntactically (sp?).

For small scripts I use Notepad.
