MM4 scripts conversion (VBS->JS)

[jiri]

You can find the most recent version of VBS->JS conversion Addon at https://www.mediamonkey.com/addons/brow ... vbs-to-js/.

Technically, the tool uses a set of Regular Expressions to convert VBS code to JavaScript. You can find the rules in vbs2js_conversions.js inside the folder of this addon and so you can update it with fixes needed for your scripts.

Known limitations:
- Uses Regular Expressions, not a full VBS parser and so some language constructs (particularly complex, nested) can be misunderstood and thus converted incorrectly.
- There's an attempt to convert even UI code, but it's very rough, incomplete and rather intended for testing.
- More MM4->MM5 API conversions will be added.

Remember, this is the very first version, please leave us feedback, report missing features, submit your updated Regular Expressions, etc.

Thanks!

A new version has been uploaded, now to the Addons site: https://www.mediamonkey.com/addons/brow ... vbs-to-js/

This version should no longer crash when it encounters errors with its regexes, and instead logs its errors in a comment at the bottom of the output.
