Integrate scripts into delphi

Question

How can I execute an external script in Delphi (like wsh, vbs, bat...) and get back the result? I want to launch them as task within a thread do other things and when the result is ready the scripts itself will inform the application which will receive it in main thread. How to achieve that?

How do you want to receive the response from the script? Do you want to get hold of stdout? — David Heffernan

Use Microsoft's Windows Script COM interfaces, in particular the IActiveScript interface.

Apparently the link to Scalabium.com provides a reasonable Delphi componentized wrapper to these interfaces.

the link provided has gone dead... more MSDN shenanigans! (:-D) The new link is msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/fdee6589(v=vs.94).aspx

You mention a lot of different script languages and engines in your question. They have all different possibilities. If you are free to choose your script language i would suggest two approaches:

Have a look at http://www.scalabium.com/smscript.htm they have a nice component to execute a script (VBScript, JavaScipt) and get the return value.
Have a look at http://www.remobjects.com/ps.aspx RemObjects Pascal Script, this is a very powerfull script language and there are plenty of examples around.

I suggest Delphi Web Script (DWS). This is excellent and aggressively updated by Eric - see his blog.

Does this execute wsh, vbs, bat etc.?

No, DWS only executes its own dialect of Delphi/Pascal.

So it doesn't really sound like it's what the OP is looking for.
