# Windows Scripting Host (Features)

EmEditor macros are based on the Windows Scripting Host (WSH) engine, so you can use various Windows Component Object Model (COM) objects. For example, you can perform regular expression searches using the RegExp object, manipulate files using the FileSystemObject object, create a short-cut, manipulate the Windows Registry using the WshShell object, or work with networking functions using the WshNetwork object. Additionally, you can create and execute a macro that utilizes an external application that supports Automation (such as Word and Excel) to copy a document created in EmEditor, then paste into, and print it from the external application.
