The script in question is taken from here.

The situation is this - I'm having an invalid call/procedure on line 20, character 3 in the vbs script, the line that reads:

strHTML = mid(strHTML, intX, intZ)

It states that the "mid" is an invalid call/procedure. Any suggestions on how to fix this? Thanks!

I just made a simple script on my desktop called test.vbs with the following in wscript.echo mid("hello",3,1) double clicked it and got a message box with the letter l in it which confirms that mid is a valid vbs function.

Do the same and see what result you get.

Oh, I've no doubt that mid is a valid vbs function. The problem is, if I try to run the script, it tells me that it isn't for some reason. *shrug* I don't know. I do know it worked before. Just wasn't sure if something had possibly changed within topmud that created this error.

Something may well have changed on your computer and vbs may be messed up and that is why I suggested running it directly from a vbs file on the desktop rather than through zMUD. If it fails direct then you never know you might get a little more information and if it doesn't fail at all it may point to a corrupt mud file.

Ah. Will have to do that once I get to use the computer in question. :) I'll let you know by Saturday what the result is. Thanks for the suggestion. :)

Actually, it's in the vbs script itself. While mid is a valid vbs function, there appears to be something wrong with the mid(strHTML, intX, intZ) string... don't know what because it worked before. *sigh* I've tried this on three different computers, three different installs of zMUD.

Ok so I followed the instuctions for importing the scripts to the letter and I got exactly the same error as you did for the topmudsites one. I'll have a look and see what I can make of it.

EDIT: http://www.topmudsites.com/index.shtml no longer shows any results but most particularly the reason that error message is coming up is because intX is being set to 0 which is not a valid integer to start from for the function mid.

Ok so what changes need to be made to the vbs to account for the changes at topmudsites?
