Quickly find text across files, including in subfolders, with our all-new Find in Files. Results are displayed in a convenient treeview in a dockable pane, allowing you to easily browse results and see multiple "hits" within the same file. Double-click any "hit" to open that file and jump to the correct location. Intuitive icons tell you which files you've already reviewed so that you stay focused and efficient.

The complete text of WSH and VBScript Core: TFM by Jeffery Hicks-more than 700 pages in all-is available as fully-integrated help. Move your cursor over any VBScript keyword or WSH object and hit F1 to see detailed explanations and lengthy examples. It's the manual Microsoft should have written-included right within PrimalScript!

Every edition of PrimalScript includes new bonus tools: A powerful WMI Explorer (who needs the documentation?), convenient graphical Windows PowerShell Help tool, Logon Script Builder HTML application (a convenient tool as well as an excellent example of writing an HTA), and much more. Also included are more than 180 sample scripts - more than double the number of our previous version!

Quickly produce database code for VBScript! Connect to your database and produce a quick VBScript to query data from whatever table you like. Or, produce VBScript "wrapper" classes that make database programming easier by providing PrimalSense code hinting and completion. Far more than just "boilerplate" code, this new Wizard makes short work of even complex database operations.

Now you can package VBScript, JScript, Windows PowerShell, and HTML Applications into standalone executables that run under alternate credentials. VBScript and JScript files can be executed entirely in-memory (no temp files for greater security) using the included SAPIEN Script Host (which includes itself in the package - no deployment needed). Works with VBS, JS, PS1, and HTA file types.

Our all-new Visual Query Builder makes it easy to build even complex, multi-table database queries in the industry-standard SQL language. Sports a live, syntax-colored SQL language view and quickly converts your SQL queries to a format that's easily pasted into your scripts. Work directly with real data, right within the query builder, including previewing query results and editing live data.

You're only human, so PrimalScript has built-in "oops resiliance." Like a text editor, PrimalScript has an "undo" button; unlike a mere editor, though, PrimalScript remembers thousands of past actions, including ones that took place in prior editing sessions! That's right you can undo editing actions that took place months in the past.

PrimalScript's built-in Recycle Bin even keeps thousands of lines of deleted text and script code, allowing you to recover it at any time.

Combined with the File History feature in PrimalScript 4.1, there's no mistake that PrimalScript can't save you from!

Code folding helps you stay focused by hiding code that you aren't currently working on. Language procedures (like functions and classes) are automatically made "foldable," allowing you to show or hide them with a single click.

You can also define your own "foldable" regions, allowing you to quickly hide code you don't need to see, making it easier to focus on the code you do.

PrimalSense consists of three primary elements. The first is syntax color-coding, which allows language keywords and other elements to be color-coded (and, depending on the language, properly cased) automatically. This helps you quickly spot typos and makes your scripts much easier to read.

Code hinting helps you remember language syntax without having to reach for the documentation. Pop-up "tool tips" display language syntax not only for built-in language functions and statements, but also for procedures and classes that you define.

Code completion helps you remember various language elements like object methods and properties, and helps complete COM instantiation and other statements. Code completion also works in the HTML Document Object Model (DOM). The code completion pop-up menus allow you to quickly scroll to the item you need, and complete your statement with a single keystroke.

Note that PrimalSense features vary depending on the scripting language you're using.

PrimalScript can provide context-sensitive help for any of its supported languages, integrating directly with OEM language documentation, Web-based documentation, and so forth. Just tell PrimalScript where the documentation is on your computer (or what URL to use), and you'll be able to highlight language elements (such as keywords) and press F1 to receive instant help on the highlighted element.

PrimalScript provides native support for Windows Script Host (WSH) TrustPolicy, allowing you to set your local TrustPolicy setting through an options dialog instead of manually editing the registry.

PrimalScript can encode Windows and ASP scripts, using Windows' built-in script encoding. While script encoding isn't appropriate for protecting sensitive information like security credentials, it does help deter users who run your scripts from viewing your actual source code.

PrimalScript also includes built-in code signing capabilities, allowing you to digitally sign scripts using a code-signing certificate (not included). Scripts can be signed on demand, or you can configure PrimalScript to sign them automatically each time they're saved, making secure scripting completely effortless.

NEW: Managed Windows PowerShell execution policy from within PrimalScript, too!

PrimalScript makes deploying your code easy. Projects (which consist of multiple files and folders) can be deployed via file copy or FTP, using a single toolbar button. You can also deploy only the files which have changed, making deployment to a test server faster during the development cycle.

PrimalScript even has core FTP functionality built into the File menu, allowing you to quickly Get and Put files as easily as if they were located right on your local computer.

PrimalScript integrates with popular source control systems such as Microsoft Visual SourceSafe (and compatible solutions), allowing you to manage source control right from within the PrimalScript environment. Files can be checked in or out, you can retrieve past versions, and even compare versions to one another.

PrimalScript projects also include source control capabilities, allowing an entire project to be checked in or out as a unit. This helps to streamline file management in large, multi-file projects and makes it easier and safer for a team to work on the same set of files.

The WMI Wizard writes WMI code in VBScript or JScript at the click of a button. Explore WMI classes in any namespace, on any computer on your network. It even supports the use of alternate credentials in your WMI connections, so you can work with remote machines more easily. The code produced can be easily modified to meet your needs, giving you a fast and effective jump-start to scripting almost any WMI-related task.

The ADSI Wizard goes beyond boilerplate code, producing a complete set of VBScript classes that represent Active Directory objects. You'll not only find it simpler to retrieve objects from Active Directory, but you'll also have PrimalSense support for working with those objects. The ADSI Wizard takes the complexity out of Active Directory scripting and lets you produce useful scripts faster and more easily.

What did you name that table or stored procedure, again? No need to reach for another tool to check - PrimalScript's Database Browser conveniently connects to any OLE DB or ODBC data source and displays database objects in an easy-to-use hierarchical view. Plus, it allows you to use a GUI to create the connection and generates a connection string you can use within your scripts.
