Details

• can_call_vbsript_files: returns TRUE if you can call vbscript files on this system; this function tries calling call_vbscript_lines with a very simple command

• write_vbscript_file: simply calls writeLines after some checks

• read_vbscript_file: simply calls readLines after some checks and returns a vbscript_lines object (see as.vbscript_lines)

• call_vbscript_file: calls the specified file as a vbscript file using Windows executable cscript.exe; output and errors are captured into R and returned; see system2

• call_vbscript_lines: writes x into a temporary file and passes that file's path to call_vbscript_file
