vbscript output to console

You mean:

Wscript.Echo "Like this?"

If you run that under wscript.exe (the default handler for the .vbs extension, so what you'll get if you double-click the script) you'll get a "MessageBox" dialog with your text in it. If you run that under cscript.exe you'll get output in your console window.

This was found on Dragon-IT Scripts and Code Repository.

You can do this with the following and stay away from the cscript/wscript differences and allows you to get the same console output that a batch file would have. This can help if your calling VBS from a batch file and need to make it look seamless.

Set fso = CreateObject ("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set stdout = fso.GetStandardStream (1)
Set stderr = fso.GetStandardStream (2)
stdout.WriteLine "This will go to standard output."
stderr.WriteLine "This will go to error output."
