This is something I only found out about today is that JavaScript can be run through a windows command line.
So I found out that to run a javascript file in windows cmd.exe you use cscript.
My hworld.js file only has one line
print('hello world');
I try to run this through the command line with
cscript /Prog/hworld.js
It didn't run with the error
Microsoft JScript runtime error: Object Expected
Are there steps i need to follow before simply cscript running a one line javascript file.
I was under the impression that JavaScript will just run out the box.
PS. Java is the development environment set up for the computer I am trying this on, installed and functional

The right command to print text in the console is
WScript.echo("your text");
The rest works pretty much like javascript.

Whaaaaaaaat, I have not found any documentation on syntax differences. Is there a link where I can look for other inconsistencies when running javascript in the console? Thanks a bunch
