Windows Script Host

Character Property


Object.Character

Arguments

Object: WshRemoteError object.

Remarks

The Character property returns a signed long integer.

Some errors are not associated with a particular character position. For example, consider the error Expected End If. In this case, there is no line (a line of code is missing). In such a case, the Character property returns zero (0).

The character position is based on an offset of one (1) (the first character in a line resides at position one).

Example

The following JScript code demonstrates how the WshRemoteError object exposes the character in the line of code that contained the error.
