A batch script to Login to a website by executing keyboard commands-CodePudding

I wrote the script below to login to netflix. It doesn't work (see output below). What am I missing? Any recommendations would be appreciated. Please do explain any solutions that you share.

@if (@CodeSection == @Batch) @then
 /*
REM @echo OFF

set username=MyUserName
set password=MyPassword

if exist "%localappdata%\google\chrome\application\chrome.exe" (
 set browser_exe="%localappdata%\google\chrome\application\chrome.exe"
)  

if exist "%PROGRAMFILES(x86)%\google\chrome\application\chrome.exe" (
 set browser_exe="%PROGRAMFILES(x86)%\google\chrome\application\chrome.exe"
 )

if exist "%PROGRAMFILES%\google\chrome\application\chrome.exe" (
 set browser_exe="%PROGRAMFILES%\google\chrome\application\chrome.exe"
 )
 
    cscript //E:JScript //nologo "%~f0" %*

    set SendKeys=CScript //nologo //E:JScript "%~F0"

    rem : start the browser and navigate to neflix
    %browser_exe% --start-fullscreen --app=https://www.netflix.com/login
    timeout /t 10

    %SendKeys% "{TAB}"
    %SendKeys% "{TAB}"
    %SendKeys% "username"
    %SendKeys% "{TAB}"
    %SendKeys% "password"
    %SendKeys% "{ENTER}"

    exit /b 
@end
*/

// JScript section
var WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell");
WshShell.SendKeys(WScript.Arguments(0));

I get this output:

C:\WINDOWS\system32>"C:\Program Files (x86)\google\chrome\application\chrome.exe" --start-fullscreen --app=https://www.netflix.com/login

Does this completely untested batch-file help you out?

It uses VBScript instead of JScript; just replace the login and password on lines 3 and 4 respectively, and as needed. Do not change anything else whilst testing it.

There is absolutely no need to be running this script 'As administrator', i.e. elevated, so please do not unnecessarily try to do so.

I have use a wait time of 5 seconds, (5000), to allow your browser to open fully to the page you require before sending the keystrokes. If the login does not work as expected, you may need to increase that time.
