Making calls and passing values to a vbscript from a ruby script

Question

Is it possible to call a vbscript from a ruby script? Bascially, I am creating a temp folder with a random name in my ruby script and I would like to call the vbscript and pass the name of this folder to carry out the next action.

Try calling the Windows Scripting Host (cscript) with your script:

 system "cscript //nologo script.vbs #{random_filename}"
