Kixtart VS ????
|
Could anyone provide information on Kixtart versus other scripting languages, such as VBScript, JScript, WScript, Perl? What are each of their pros and cons???

That depends entirely on the particular problem to be solved and the constraints.
Search the BBS as this has already been discussed. See e.g. Is it me or does Kix get a lack of respect?? .

Re: Kixtart VS ????

I think you can simply realize it in the fact that kixtart can use vbscript/wscript/jscript...
but not vise versa.
what comes to features, I can admit that perl and TCL have lots more functions and abilities.
the question is, what you are after.
for simple tasks, there is no reason to start studying more complex language you can do simply with kixtart.

You don't say what you want to use it for! For logon scripting KiX is the one.

I'm speaking strictly for logon scripting purposes. Ease of use is not an issue. I'm looking for features and speed.

I think I answered already.
if you look for speed you should look into assembler though and skip script languages

Re: Kixtart VS ????

for login script, kix wins hands down.
The reason why.... the logon script was the birth place of kixtart.

That's like saying Windows is the best because it's birthplace was the PC.
okay, maybe not.... but close

I think bryce had something more like this in mind:
"...as kixtart is the only one developed for logonscript purposes"
well, dunno what he ment.
but that is at least true
well, at least for the older kix versions.
but still the "logonscript-awareness" is really center part of kixtart language.
whereas, say jscript is mainly developed for script kiddies who know how to rip each others code from webpages.

Now you are just being difficult.
![[Big Grin]](images/icons/grin.gif){kind=icon}
Really, for logon script applications none of the other win32 scripting languages support such a wide range of OS's, with an as easy to use, feature rich, and ease of install, than kixtart.
Easy to use... if you can program in BASIC then you will have no problem with kix
Features like group mebership: with kix it has a native ingroup() command. group membership with vbs and the others use ADSI, or a 3rd party exe.
Ease of install, at the minumim you need, kix32.exe and your logon script file on a common network share.
OS supported... win9x, win3x, NT based (in other words... all MS OS's)
Is kix lacking in some parts? Sure, but in my honest opinion, kixtart is a must have for win32 script language.
(Then again...i am a die hard kix addict)
