Jscript on Linux, a thousand questions 2004-04-15 - By Christian Rittener
Back
Two years ago, there was a discussion on this list about scripting
languages, the main point of which for me was made by Dana Smith:
"To the best of my knowledge there are no ActiveX-compliant Linux
implementations of Perl or Python, hence the only languages you can use on
Linux are VBScript and JScript."
Is this still the case? if yes, what's the equivalent of
var ch_stuff = new ActiveXObject("XSI.collection") ;
in Jscript on Linux ?
What about file I/O? starting a shell command and returning from the shell?
are these issues easier to address with ActivePython? As I understand, it is
truly "Active" only in Windows...
I'd like to plan for a possible move to Linux, so I'm starting to worry
about my Jscripts (XSI and Windows Script Host) not being easily portable...
Is there really no way yet to use one OOP scripting language for XSI _AND_
OS stuff on both Windows and Linux? what would we lose/gain by avoiding all
ActiveX stuff in XSI scripting?
OK, enough questions already! any advice, comments, and one-click solutions
are welcome.
