I am always forgetting this so I have posted it so I can refer back to this when needed. Sometimes via a command line you want to be able to pass command line parameters to a vbscript. e.g.

The vbscript to handle this is as follow:
Option Explicit
Dim colNamedArguments
Set colNamedArguments = Wscript.Arguments.Named

Wscript.echo "Parameter = " & _
colNamedArguments.Item("Parameter")
End If

So things to look out for :
