Because I have a project which is designed by VBS(visual basic script). Is it impossible to call this VBS using Julia?If no, any other methods?  
Further explanation:  
We could call the VBS through python as follows:

```julia
import os
import sys
os.system(r"C:\test.vbs")

```

Is there any methods similar to it?

You can use `run()` to run an external command (like `os.system()` in Python). To learn more about that function, try doing `?run` at the Julia command prompt or check out [https://docs.julialang.org/en/stable/manual/running-external-programs/#Running-External-Programs-1](https://docs.julialang.org/en/stable/manual/running-external-programs/#Running-External-Programs-1)
