A way to call an Illustrator File/Script from another script?

If I have a script inside Illustrator's File/Script menu I would like to run from a script outside Illustrator.

The only code I found that might be related is:

app.executeMenuCommand("script name here?");

I'll take any examples in either VBscript or JavaScript.

Thx,

Thx, I also think I found what I want using VBscript:

objApp.DoJavaScriptFile "path to JS file"

You can use the execute method under the File object, Not executeMenuCommand.

var f = new File("YOUR SCRIPT FILE PATH HERE");
f.execute();
