What is VBS file?
VBS (VBScript File) is a file extension used by Visual Basic Scripting Edition to store Visual Basic source code. It is used to create applications, scripts and components for Windows-based programs. VBS files are based on the Microsoft Visual Basic language and they typically contain functions and procedures that can be referenced by other scripts or programs. VBS files can be written with an advanced text editor, saved and then executed through the Windows Script Host (WSH). [ ⏩ ] VBS file extension

Software, that you can use to convert
How to convert the file from VBS to CMD?
To successfully convert the VBS file to CMD, you should install one of the applications from the list. After installing the software, open the program and select the file you want to convert (file-name.VBS). The next step is to select the target format from the list, in this case CMD (usually converters allow you to convert to several different formats, so check out their features - maybe one of the available formats will suit you more than CMD).
What is a file conversion?
A data conversion is normally an automated process to some extent. The effect of the operation of one program is automatically the input product of another application. If that does not happen we need to help the process a little bit and convert the file on our own, e.g. VBS to CMD. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.
Program for converting VBS files to CMD files is a kind of a "binary code translator" compensating for the differences in the code or translating it in such a way so that another application could use it. For us, as users, the visible change will be only another file extension. (After converting the file, it will be the extension CMD, while before this step we had the VBS file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new CMD file, or not.
