QUESTION ABOUT .vbs scripts in windows.

Feb 1st, 2008

Ok, I have noticed that everything I like to do in windows using c++ can easily be done with .vbs scripts. Just to clarify the books I looked into buying to teach me .vbs all mostly talk about vbscripting for html??????????????? Is that what .vbs scripting is usually for ..
EXAMPLE !!!!

script Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)

Dim theApp, theMailItem
 
     Set theApp = WScript.CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
     Set theNameSpace = theApp.GetNameSpace("MAPI")
 
     Set theMailItem = theApp.CreateItem(0)
 
     theMailItem.Recipients.Add "cody.oebel@bloodntissue.org"
     theMailItem.Subject = "TESTING EMAIL"
     theMailItem.Body = ""
     theMailItem.Body = "THIS MESSAGE SHOULD EMAIL PROPERLY" & chr(13)
     theMailItem.Body = theMailItem.Body & "THIS IS THE NEXT LINE"
     theMailItem.Send
     theNameSpace.Logoff

What kind of scripting is this ? it's saved as a .vbs and I'm using c++ to do all my programming need's but time to time I need to have my c++ program stream output to create a .vbs similar to this above. I want to become more proficient with the use of this language. Could someone please recomend a book. I dont get online unless im at work and at home have no time to be on the net having a wife and kids. LOL .. Please someone help
