Hello, 

 

Here is the two line of code in vbscript. The userInput is text variable in PAD which has been passed to vbscript. 

 

id = %UserInput%
WScript.Echo id

 

It is getting this error when executing: 

(1, 6) Microsoft VBScript compilation error: Syntax error

    Hello,

    You may have the % symbol, only for one variable you use %Yourvariable%, but if your code has the % symbol you need to escape it, you must put %% for each % symbol.

    Example:

    WScript.Echo id%%espanol.%%something %Yourvariable%

    You probably need to encapsulate the variable in quotes, if it's not a numeric value.
