Capture standard output (stdout) in console command running at VBS

By The Writer -

We can use WScript.Shell.Exec( ) and WScript.Shell.StdOut.ReadLine( ) to perform the task:




Set objShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Set objExecObject = objShell.Exec("cmd /c dir")
strText=""
Do While Not objExecObject.StdOut.AtEndOfStream
strText = strText & objExecObject.StdOut.ReadLine() & chr(13)
Loop
Wscript.Echo strText

Java encoding : UTF-8, Big5, x-MS950-HKSCS

By -
Suppose you got a file in Big5 containing some HKSCS characters (e.g. 深水埗, 赤鱲角, etc). When your environment (Ref: Charset.defaultCharset( ) ) is either UTF-8 / Big5, you will never get the things work. The proper encoding should be "x-MS950-HKSCS" This situation happens when I'm try the same pieces of code in Java console / Eclipse console and JSP @ Tomcat. While JSP works fine, but sucks in console mode. Finally I found the JSP is actually using encoding "x-MS950-HKSCS". To set environment charset in Eclipse: Right click on the file that you are going to execute (e.g. Testing.java), then "Properties" → "Run/Debug Settings" → "Common" → "Encoding". Type "x-MS950-HKSCS" in the field. What a pity!
