Exposes a specified item from a collection.

Object.Item(natIndex) 

Arguments

Object

The result of the EnumNetworkDrive or EnumPrinterConnections methods, or the object returned by the Environment or SpecialFolders properties.

natIndex

Item to retrieve.

Remarks

Item is the default property for each collection. For EnumNetworkDrive and EnumPrinterConnections collections, index is an integer; for the Environment and SpecialFolders collections, index is a string.

WshShell.SpecialFolders.Item (strFolderName) returns "Empty" in VBScript and "undefined" in JScript if the requested folder (strFolderName) is not available.

The following table lists special folders along with the version of Windows that supports them.

Example

The following code displays network mapping information for the drives and printers.

<package>
   <job id="vbs">
      <script language="VBScript">
         Set WshNetwork = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Network")
         Set oDrives = WshNetwork.EnumNetworkDrives
         Set oPrinters = WshNetwork.EnumPrinterConnections
         WScript.Echo "Network drive mappings:"
         For i = 0 to oDrives.Count - 1 Step 2
            WScript.Echo "Drive " & oDrives.Item(i) & " = " & oDrives.Item(i+1)
         Next
         WScript.Echo 
         WScript.Echo "Network printer mappings:"
         For i = 0 to oPrinters.Count - 1 Step 2
            WScript.Echo "Port " & oPrinters.Item(i) & " = " & oPrinters.Item(i+1)
         Next
      </script>
   </job>

   <job id="js">
      <script language="JScript">
         var WshNetwork = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Network");
         var oDrives = WshNetwork.EnumNetworkDrives();
         var oPrinters = WshNetwork.EnumPrinterConnections();
         WScript.Echo();
         WScript.Echo("Network drive mappings:");
         for(i = 0; i < oDrives.length; i += 2){
            WScript.Echo("Drive " + oDrives.Item(i) + " = " + oDrives.Item(i + 1));
         }
         WScript.Echo();
         WScript.Echo("Network printer mappings:");
         for(i = 0; i < oPrinters.length; i += 2){
            WScript.Echo("Port " + oPrinters.Item(i) + " = " + oPrinters.Item(i + 1));
         }
      </script>
