print migration script

[Martin]

Im trying to use the script below but I get an error
saying:
Script: \\server\share\scriptname.vbs
Line: 5
Char: 1
Error: Expected statement
Code: 800A400
Source Microsoft VBScript compilator error

I have made the file translateprinter.txt and put it on in
a share on the server with the only line \\server\printer
in it and changed the script to use that file. Do I need
to change anything else in this script?
Thanks alot
Martin

After help from Rashmi I got this working.
A good text editor is also to recommend.
The only thing that needs to be changed is the file
"TranslateFile" (add a txt-file with the old and new
\\server\share in it) and change location to it in the
script.
Really good script that allows a print server change
without any configuration change on users computers.

Thanks once again to Rashmi
