The Item property returns a string. For collections, it returns an item based on the specified key. When entering the arguments at the command line, you can use blanks in string arguments if you enclose the string in quotes. Consider the following example:myscript.vbs /stringarg:"This string has spaces"

The quotes will be removed in the WshNamed collection. For an argument to be in the WshNamed collection, it must have been used on the command line. If the argument has no value (such as a simple argument or an empty string), the Item property returns an empty string. Requesting a non-existent named argument from the Item property causes an error. To check if an argument exists, use the Exists method.
