    - Almost there but missing a few things I've currently got this script working to give me several variables that I need to see. This will be added to our login script and will be captured into a dump file. I'm still missing two pieces of information: 1) username of user logging in and 2) cpu/processor output that's better than what I've got coming back: (Processor: x86 Family 6 Model 8 Stepping 6 CurrentClockSpeed: 993) And finally, I need to have it dump out to a text file, and have said file append to have all the data in one file. Thanks in advance!! ;-) Script follows: strComputer = "." Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _ & "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2") Set colSettings = objWMIService.ExecQuery _ ("Select * from Win32_OperatingSystem") For Each objOperatingSystem in colSettings Wscript.Echo "OS Name: " & objOperatingSystem.Name Wscript.Echo "Service Pack: " & _ objOperatingSystem.ServicePackMajorVersion _ & "." & objOperatingSystem.ServicePackMinorVersion Next Set colSettings = objWMIService.ExecQuery _ ("Select * from Win32_ComputerSystem") For Each objComputer in colSettings Wscript.Echo "System Name: " & objComputer.Name Wscript.Echo "System Model: " & objComputer.Model Wscript.Echo "Total Physical Memory: " & _ objComputer.TotalPhysicalMemory Next Set colSettings = objWMIService.ExecQuery _ ("Select * from Win32_Processor") For Each objProcessor in colSettings Wscript.Echo "Processor: " & objProcessor.Description Set colItems = objWMIService.ExecQuery("Select * from Win32_Processor",,48) For Each objItem in colItems Wscript.Echo "CurrentClockSpeed: " & objItem.CurrentClockSpeed Next Set colSettings = objWMIService.ExecQuery _ ("Select * from Win32_BIOS") For Each objBIOS in colSettings Wscript.Echo "BIOS Version: " & objBIOS.Version Next Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") Set objFile = objFSO.GetFile("c:\program files\microsoft office\office\msaccess.exe") Wscript.Echo "Name: " & objFile.Name Wscript.Echo "Path: " & objFile.Path Wscript.Echo "Size: " & objFile.Size WScript.Echo "Version: " & objFSO.GetFileVersion("c:\program files\microsoft office\office\msaccess.exe") Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") Set objFile = objFSO.GetFile("c:\program files\microsoft office\office\winword.exe") Wscript.Echo "Name: " & objFile.Name Wscript.Echo "Path: " & objFile.Path Wscript.Echo "Size: " & objFile.Size WScript.Echo "Version: " & objFSO.GetFileVersion("c:\program files\microsoft office\office\winword.exe") Wscript.Echo objFSO.GetFileVersion("c:\program files\internet explorer\iexplore.exe") Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") Set objFile = objFSO.GetFile("c:\program files\internet explorer\iexplore.exe") Wscript.Echo "Name: " & objFile.Name Wscript.Echo "Path: " & objFile.Path Wscript.Echo "Size: " & objFile.Size WScript.Echo "Version: " & objFSO.GetFileVersion("c:\program files\internet explorer\iexplore.exe") On Error Resume Next next Tag: Automate Source Control Tag: 139995

    - Framesets: How to change frames depending on content Hi, How do you change the src of a frame depending upon what the main page displays. I have a banner top named banner, a left Column named menu and a right column named main. When the contents of Main change, I would like to have in the OnLoad event a way to change the contents of the frame menu. How do I do this?

    - Automated Enable of XP Firewall after Sysprep Hello all- It seems that, after sysprepping, Windows turns off the internet connection firewall, which we use quite extensively here at UW-Milwaukee. However, we want to roll out Windows XP to our campus computer labs. Is there a way, either through GPO, VBScripting a WMI call, or some other magic that will let us re-enable this? Also, are there ways to programmatically control the firewall (such as add new rules, enable or disable existing rules, etc.)?

    - delprof utility within vbscripts This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ------=_NextPart_000_003B_01C3569C.E29EA300 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hi All, I was helping someone in another newsgroup and got a little stuck = and it is becoming a scripting issue, so I suggested we discuss the = issue here. Background Basically, the writer has about 500 workstation and 2000 users. = They for various reasons don't use network profiles and everyone uses = local profiles. What he wants to do is delete from all the workstations = any profiles that are number and leave any profiles that are letters = (numeric profiles are the profiles that he wants removed). I came up = with a script that would look at the subfolders of documents and = settings and if the folder is a number to delete it and if not to not = delete it. The problem is that unless the user logs in as an = admistrator, he doesn't have the permissions to delete the folders. = Plus as a microsoft person said, "Profiles shouldn't be deleted by = whacking the "c:\document and settings\UserName" directory". =20 Now DELPROF is a command line utility that could do it. And he can = even do it remotely. However, there is no way to specify which users = profiles gets zapped. The Question Obviously you can do shell.run to run delprof. There is an option = (/p) to prompt before deleting each profile. What I was wondering if = there is a way to take the output and put it into a string and respond = to the question. For example, if the thing asks should it delete a = profile, vbscript can see what profile it is asking and then do an = IsNumeric function and answer y or n at the command line accordingly Or is there some other scripting solution? I don't know if WMI can = delete folders like below (which is the script I suggested), but still = that doesn't solve the problem that supposedly you shouldn't delete = profiles by goign after the user's in document and settings.

    - wsh upload puzzle :: fails when accessing server file Hi Guys, I would appreciate some help in my age-long struggle to wsh (ftp upload) a small file (access .mdb) to our remote web host... It works great when I do the upload from the local drive. BUT, when I try to upload the file from across the networked server machine the script hanges WITHOUT generating an error with the cmd.exe line showing: ftp> ftp> _ Now, I know from past experience that this could be permissions error. But, If I check the SECURITY for the parent folder I see: Adminsistrator Authenticated Everyone G Cuadros Full Contol = yes/ticked Modify = yes Read and execute = yes etc etc INHERITABLE PERMISSIONS =yes = allow inheritable permissions is enabled and ticked Thus, what is causing the script to hange and not upload the file when I attempt this across the network towards our remote web host....?? This has been an ongoing battle for me and I really need somebody knowledgeable to help me get a handle on this. I have posed my short, full . VBS code below: '//---------------------------------------- set fso=createobject("scripting.filesystemobject") set sll=createobject("wscript.shell") set f=fso.createTextfile("c:\inetpub\wwwroot\catamaranco\upload\put.txt", true) with f .writeline "open site.maximumasp.com" .writeline "username" .writeline "password" .writeline "put F:\Mydocu~1\MARKETING\imagine\databases\Inquiry.mdb" end with sll.run "ftp -s:c:\inetpub\wwwroot\catamaranco\upload\put.txt", 1, true f.close That's it - but something is making it unstuck and I am receiving no error - it just hanges towards the end with the cmd.exe remaining open.

    - Vbscript question in SQL DTS In trying to make some changes to a file extract (we are pulling a text file from another domain into the one our SQL server is in, and then loading a database from it), we will have the need to "bind" the sets of text files together. In other words, for me to know which orderfile goes with which credit file and shipment files, they'll all have the date appended to the files. The way it is now, we get: orderfile.txt which would be named orderfile20030731.txt in the proposed changes. tomorrows would be named orderfile20030801.txt and so on. The other text files would be named in a corresponding manner, so that a load of creditfile0731 isn't mixed with an orderfile of 0801. I need to put a step into our existing DTS jobs to take the file, no matter what the name is, and to rename it (or copy it) to our old filename and have it be input to the DTS job. Either that, or make the DTS job pick up the appropriate name. To complicate matters, we run one database server on monday-wednesday & friday, and another on tuesday-thursday-saturday. Is there a way to do this in VBscript from within the DTS job? If so, how? Any advice appreciated. Thanks, Steve Tag: Automate Source Control Tag: 139969

    - Batching emails from a newsletter system Hi Guys Wonder if you can help me. To give you some form of background info, I have created a web-based newsletter system using ASP, ADO, Access 2000 and your JMail 4.3 component. This newsletter system has been created so that I can send 1 newsletter to 300+ subscribers every 1 or 2 months. I wouldn't say this was really hammering an SMTP server - would you? Our ISP (FastHosts) will only allow 10 emails every 30 seconds or 50 emails every 10 mins. I've checked with FastHosts and they don't support JMail's '.nq' queuing option, so do you know any other way round this? Is it possible to page the subscribers into say batches of 10 and send these out every 30 secs without me having to do this manually? Regards Robbie Tag: Automate Source Control Tag: 139963

    - Install of VBScript components causing problem? I recently installed and began using VBScript. Now when I boot I get a cryptic message XAUpdate.exe Cannot find entry SHGetSpecialFolderPathA ... not in SHELL32.dll ... It appears not to affect the system (after clicking OK), but I wonder if the install of Scripting caused this? I noted a post from Michael Harris that IE4 Desktop Update must be done. Checking on that in KB, it appears that it can't be done without uninstalling IE5.5 and reinstalling. I truly don't want to bother. My shell32.dll is version 4.00 and this appears to be too old.

    - Returning arrays from a .vbs file My question is: how is it possible for a .vbs file to return a variant array of strings when called from another .vbs file? I have a .vbs file which consists of about 20 calls to independent Functions, each of which returns an array of 4 strings. After this a short section disseminates the returned information. Each Function is about 30 lines long. For maintainability, instead of one huge Main.vbs file, I'd like to have a small Main.vbs and have each function call go out to its own small standalone .vbs file. These calls could be synchronous or asynchronous, but after all the results are in, I need to summarize the returned arrays. Can you suggest a way that's better than my overkill IE idea which follows? By the way, each .vbs file, including Main.vbs, utilizes an OCX that I have written and this OCX would be happy to cooperate. Can you do better than?: Main.vbs creates and prepares an instance of IE. Each Function (located in its own .vbs file) finds this same instance and when the Function is done, it writes its array somewhere into this IE instance which the caller (Main.vbs) can then access. In a better version, each FunctionN.vbs file would do something like Set myOcxInstance = GetObject(,"myOcx.Tool") and then I could accumulate the variant array of strings into the OCX, but upon searching, I have read that this GetObject does not like to work with OCXs (the OCX contains forms, but they are not shown when accessed in this manner) so I thought I'd ask before chasing after the wrong tree to bark up.

The records in my database are displayed in a form as follows: %> <form action="report-ammend1.42.asp" method="post"name="form"> <table border=1> <% x = 1 while RS.EOF=false %> <tr><td><input type="hidden" name="SprogNo<%= x %>" value="<%Response.Write RS.Fields("SprogNo")%>"><% response.write (RS.Fields("SprogNo"))%></td> <td><input type="text" name="Report<%= x %>" value="<%Response.Write RS.Fields("Report")%>"></td> <td><input type="text" name="rep2<%= x %>" value="<%Response.Write RS.Fields("rep2")%>"></td></tr> <% x = x + 1 RS.movenext Wend By specifying integer values for x in the form action file, the correct data is always udated to the correct record: Dim DB Set DB = Server.CreateObject ("ADODB.Connection") DB.Open ("PROVIDER=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;DATA SOURCE=C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\test\test.mdb") 'Dim rs Set rs = Server.CreateObject ("ADODB.Recordset") rs.Open "SELECT * FROM SprogTbl", DB, 2, 2 rs.movefirst for x = 1 to 3 rs.Fields("SprogNo") = Request.Form("SprogNo" & x) rs.Fields("Report") = Request.Form("Report" & x) rs.Fields("rep2") = Request.Form("rep2" & x) rs.update RS.movenext Next rs.movefirst However, I need this to work for any (undefined) no. of records and the records may have been queried to display non-sequential records for the database. I can't make any of the three solutions I can think of work: 1. If I could make the field SprogNo (which contains the unique ID no.) rs.response write into x as an integer, then each record would be automatically numbered. I would then need some kind of "for each x" loop before the rs.update statements. Just putting: Response.Write RS.Fields("SprogNo")=x in place of x = x+1 doesn't do it........ 2. I've also tried tying the update to a WHERE statement. But, the following will work for a databse of one record only: Dim strSQL strSQL = "UPDATE SprogTbl SET Report = '" & Report & _ "', rep2 = '" & rep2 & _ "' WHERE ((SprogTbl.SprogNo)='" & SprogNo & "');" DB.execute(strSQL) .... however, I've had no success trying to iterate it's functions starting with rs.movefirst and then a while rs.EOF=false 'rs.movenext loop. 3. Finally, I thought it might be worth trying to get the WHERE statement (above) into the rs.Fields("SprogNo") = Request.Form("SprogNo" & x) statement. So far all attempts have fallen foul of syntax errors. e.g. rs.update WHERE ((SprogTbl.SprogNo)='" & SprogNo & "'); The last two solutions would still require making the update repeat for each of the fields in some kind of a loop.

    - Why does Createobject work on one computer but not another? I have the following code in a Visual Basic 6 standard exe project. On my computer, the development computer, it works fine. Dim ObjH as variant Set objH = CreateObject ("Shell.Application") However, when the same line of code is executed on another computer, it gets a run time error "object variable or with block variable not set". This line of code is basically instantiating an object variable to point to an object application in the class named shell. Is there a Visual Basic reference or dll required to use this line? Does anyone know why this is occurring and what I can do to fix it. Thanks in advance. Tag: Automate Source Control Tag: 139846

    - detect occurrence of two words in a text with regexp Hi, I'm searching for a pattern allowing to detect if a text has occurrence of two words (say word1 and word2), consecutive or not. I don't want a logical OR where (word1)|(word2) would be the solution. I want the two words being simultaneously in the text. So the text could be "some words word1 some other words word2 or word1word2 or word1 word2" I accept to not detect word2 being before word1 like word1...word2...word2...word1 I almost found a pattern with : re.global=true (word1)\s*(word2)|(word1)(\s+\w+)+\s+(word2) and why not be more complex with testing word1 and word2 being at the beginning of words like word1abc and word2xyz so the pattern will be (word1\w*)\s*(word2\w*)|(word1\w*)(\s+\w+)+\s+(word2\w*) If I dump the matchcol, I find each word1 and word2 listed but the matchcol.count doesn't give the right number of (word1, word2) pair occurrence. That's because the expression word1 words word2 words word1 words word2 is counted for one single occurrence as if it was : word1 (all words including word1 and word2 ignored) word2 Only the first word1 and the last word2 are taken into account. But the returned submatch content is word1 words word2 words word1 words word2 so any word1 and word2 is catched. I get also the same result with : (word1)(\s\w+)*\s*(word2) So I'm happy to know the two words are in the text but I can't use the result for replacing the words because I don't know where they are. Since I want to change the color of word1 and word2 in red, I must know the exact location. Is there any other way? or I must use the following process : - detect the presence of the two words (wherever they are) - do a re.replace(text, "word1", "<font fontcolor=red>word1<font> - do the same with word2 Thanks for any help Tag: Automate Source Control Tag: 139834

    - Using queried date to serach for data I'm having a problem with my asp pages. I have the first page set up to search for data by date and shift. The dates are retrieved by a query of all dates that are in the database, meaning that if a date has no data, then that date will not show up in the select box. The shift is a simple select box with three options in it. When I hit submit, if there's a date that has the same shift as another date, the date and the data from that date that posted first will show up, even if I selected another date. Here's the code below and do you all have any ideas how this might be happening and ways to correct it. Thanks for any help I can get.

    - Formatting or inserting breaks into Textarea using innerHTML AAAAARRRGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sorry, but thats how much I was frustrated when I could not get a simple thing to work on a static html page using javascript. I just wanted to insert a line break into the textarea dynamically. Here is the piece of code that will not work... but will give you a "unknown runtime error". If you remove the "<br>"s, it will work. <html> <head> <script language="JavaScript"> function writeText() { document.all.myTextArea.innerHTML = "Hello<br>" + "sometext" + "<br>Hello"; //THIS WONT WORK EITHER: //document.all.myTextArea.innerHTML = // "Hello\n" + "sometext" + "\nHello"; } </script> </head> <body> <table> <tr><td id="mytd"><textarea id="myTextArea"></textarea></td></tr> <tr><td><input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit" onClick="writeText();"/></td></tr> </table> </body> </html> But Internet Explorer did not like it. I visited a lot of newsgroups and tried different things. I've tried replacing line breaks ("\n") with <br>s and what not... but we wont go into it. What I am trying to say here is that I could not find a way to format the text inside a text area. After hours of research, I just ended up doing something like this... which by the way occured to me when I was finishing up my Dominos pineapple pizza. The workaround was to include the whole textarea inside the javascript and write them into the TD using the innerHTML of the TD at runtime. I sincerely hope that this will help someone solve a similar issue and save them a lot of trouble. ========= SOLUTION: ========= Here is the code that I came up with to work around this situation... //THIS IS THE WORKAROUND: (result is the id of TD, so you are basically inserting html that CONTAINS the textarea into the TD instead of writing text to the textarea. i.e., you are writing the whole textarea into the TD at runtime) <html> <head> <script language="JavaScript"> function writeText() { var rslt; rslt = "<textarea id=\"myTextArea\">"; rslt += "Hello\n" + "sometext" + "\nHello"; document.all.mytd.innerHTML = rslt + "</textarea>"; } </script> </head> <body> <table> <tr><td id="mytd"> <textarea id="myTextArea"></textarea> </td></tr> <tr><td><input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit" onClick="writeText();"/></td></tr> </table> </body> </html> GOOD LUCK!!!

    - Dazed and Confused.... Hi. I'm using an Access 2002 DB and ASP. For the purposes of this post, the simplied SQL statement in question is: UPDATE dbtable SET status=" & xstat (xstat is yes/no) The exact same code works just fine on at least a dozen different servers in the US. It's part of a common function I use all the time. I have a client in Brazil . When they run this code their server throws an error... Microsoft JET Database Engine erro '80040e10' Nenhum valor foi fornecido para um ou mais parâmetros necessários. (No value given for one or more necessary parameters) BUT, I'm 100% certain that the field names and types are correct, and as I said above, this code works fine on many servers in the US If I hardcode: UPDATE dbtable SET status=True... it works fine. If I hardcode: xstat=True SQLx="UPDATE dbtable SET status=" & xstat response.write SQLx The code fails with the error I mentioned... and the SQLx string looks like: UPDATE dbtable SET status =Verdadeiro (which means True in Brazilian) Go figure. Any ideas what I must do to have the Engine/database recognize the foreign language equivalent of True? Tim -- Posted via http://dbforums.com Tag: Automate Source Control Tag: 139763
