I want to send the line
CreateObject("Wscript.Shell").Run """" & WScript.Arguments(0) & """", 0, False
to a vbs file so i tried the following line of code

echo CreateObject("Wscript.Shell").Run """" & WScript.Arguments(0) & """", 0, False>invis.vbs
however that doesn't work, seems to not like all the symbols that are in it. Returns the following error.

C:\Documents and Settings\Nathan\Desktop>echo CreateObject("Wscript.Shell").Run
"""" & WScript.Arguments(0) & """", 0, False 1>invis.vbs
CreateObject("Wscript.Shell").Run """"
'WScript.Arguments' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
'""""' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

& is a special character. Change it to ^&.

According to my copy/pasting of what you entered, you've broken up the line into two parts. That won't work with only one ECHO, nor would the resulting lines work in VBScript.

If it's one line you need to 'escape' the chars which have 'special meaning'. In this case, the &. So use this:
echo CreateObject("Wscript.Shell").Run """
" ^& WScript.Arguments(0) ^& """", 0, False>invis.vbs

that's ONE liine

If at first you don't succeed, you're about average.
