SCRENC [/s] [/f] [/xl] [/l defLanguage ] [/e defExtension] input file output file

The Script Encoder syntax has these parts:

There are four kinds of files than can be processed by the Script Encoder. They are:

• ASP. This format consists of a text active server page containing valid HTML and embedded scripting blocks within <SCRIPT> ... </SCRIPT> tags or <% ... %> tags. Applications that use this format include Microsoft® Internet Information Services (IIS). Recognized file extensions are .asp, .asa, and .cdx.

• HTML. This format consists of a text file that contains valid HTML along with embedded script blocks. Applications using this scripting format include Microsoft FrontPage®, Microsoft® Visual InterDev™ and virtually all Web designers and browsers. Recognized file extensions are .htm and .html.

• Plain text. This format consists of text file that contains only script with no surrounding tags. Applications using scripting format include Windows® Scripting Host (WSH) and Microsoft® Outlook®. Recognized file extensions are .js and .vbs, which are changed to .jse and .vbe, respectively, after encoding.

• Scriptlet. This format consists of a text file that contains valid scriptlet code within <SCRIPT> ... </SCRIPT> tags. Recognized file extension is .sct and .wsh.

The following are examples of the use of the Script Encoder and a brief explanation of the results:

To encode input file test.html and produce output file encode.html, use:

screnc test.html encode.html

To encode input file test.htm and overwrite the input file with the encoded output file, use:

screnc /f test.htm

To encode all .ASP files in the current directory and place the encoded output files in c:\temp, use:

screnc *.asp c:\temp

To encode all files in the current directory as .ASP files and place them in c:\temp, use: screnc /e asp *.* c:\temp

To encode input file test.htm and produce output file encode.htm, ensuring that all script blocks that don't have a language attribute specified use VBScript, use:

screnc /l vbscript test.htm encode.htm

To encode all scriptlet files in the current directory and overwrite them with encoded files, while displaying no message, use:

screnc /s /f *.sct
