    - Start - End Time Question Greetings, is there a way to have a Script run at a specified time? I have an Excel workbook that backs up a huge amount of info programmatically that works great. I have recently begun experimenting with VBScript; I have written this script and would like to have it run daily without having any user interaction. I could also use a tip on how to have Scripts run in the command Prompt automatically. Option Explicit Dim objExcel Set objExcel = CreateObject("Excel.Application") wscript.echo "Please Wait" wscript.echo "Backing Up ..." objExcel .Visible = False objExcel .Workbooks.Open "C:\FolderPath\WorkbookName.xls" Wscript.Echo "Finished" Tag: Error saving text file with no extension Tag: 219146

    - Number exponentiation I want to trim a number and display the integer and decimals separately, as such I'm trying to convert it to a string so I can truncate it. No matter what combination of int or CStr I try, VBScript displays long numbers such as: 345332523545325425235255453.6789555 in its exponentiated form: 3.45332523545325E+26 How can I stop this? Alternatively is there a function that will separate the two for me? Jon Tag: Error saving text file with no extension Tag: 219145

    - Error saving text file with no extension Hello, I have a vbscript which creates a text file, add some lines of text, and then tries to save it. The problem is that when I try to save the file, I get an error stating "bad file name or number" with the following line of code: Set objFile = objFSO.CreateTextFile(strPath, True) objFile.Write(strList) objFile.Close strPath is equal to "C:\Program Files\Some App\FILE" where FILE is the name. The application that I am updating this file for expects it to be named FILE with no extension. I can only assume that the error is coming from the fact that vbscript thinks FILE is a directory name. Is there anyway to do this with a text file with no extension? Thanks for any help you can offer. JG Tag: Error saving text file with no extension Tag: 219140

    - Modify a .doc document with a macro without Word ? Hi All, Here is my problem: I would like to modify several .doc documents (with a macro ?) in an automated way (without opening word "with the hand"). Do you know is there is an object in VBScript that could do that ? If there is, could you provide just a piece a code ? Thanks for your help! Tag: Error saving text file with no extension Tag: 219134

    - reference / manage application windows with vbscript Hi, I am trying to automate a gui application by using 'wshshell.sendkeys'. What I want to do (if possible) is load the app and wait for a window to become active in the app, then execute some 'sendkeys' commands. I have used autoit before and I know that works, but I want VBscript to do it. Is this possible?? Thanks -- Firewalker82 Tag: Error saving text file with no extension Tag: 219133

    - [ann] code sample to convert html to vb or vbs... hi groupies, o.k., so this is pretty trivial, but may save somebody the 10 minutes or so that it would take to write for yourself. There are some webpages which present sample code which is embedded in "pre" tags -- and so the lines don't end with vbCrLf's, rather they end with "br" tags. Also, there are other re-codings, such as the ampersand, less than, greater than, and etc. Here is the code used to convert some (html-formatted) source code back into vb/vbs source. The procedure was to "view source" on the html page showing the code, extract the text inside the "pre" tags, and then run this: --- <code> --- Const htmlFile = "callDLL_Example1.txt" Const basFile = "callDLL_Example1.bas" Const ForReading = 1, ForWriting = 2 Dim fso : Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") Dim oFile : Set oFile = fso.OpenTextFile(htmlFile, ForReading) Dim fHTML : fHTML = oFile.ReadAll Dim fBAS fBAS = Replace(fHTMl, "<br>", vbCrLf) fBAS = Replace(fBAS, "  ", " ") fBAS = Replace(fBAS, " ", " ") fBAS = Replace(fBAS, "&", "&") fBAS = Replace(fBAS, "<", "<") fBAS = Replace(fBAS, ">", ">") Set oFile = fso.OpenTextFile(basFile, ForWriting, True) oFile.Write fBAS oFile.Close MsgBox("finished") WScript.Quit --- </code> --- As you can probably tell, the script assumes that all the relevant files (including the script itself) are all located in the current working directory. cheers, jw Tag: Error saving text file with no extension Tag: 219119

    - HTML screen scraping and IE Object Models Have been writing cool code (believe it or not) in VBA, for going against certain web sites and collecting data for the database. Everything works well with Excel's VBA going against IE data and parsing the HTML and getting innerHTML's etc. This is with Office 2007, Windows XP, IE 70.0.5730.13 But when you use the same VBA with Vista, Office 2007 and IE 7.0.6000.16389, it is totally different. DOM is 90% different and nothing works. How come? How can there be so much difference. Example: in XP something like this, works : Set oE = createObject("InternetExplorer.Application") : oE.Visible = Ture : oE.Navigate http://www.junk.com" : iForms = oE.Document.forms.length But in Vista and IE 7.0.6000.16389 Set oE = createObject("InternetExplorer.Application") : oE.Visible = Ture : oE.Navigate http://www.junk.com" is fine.... But then after that.....it becomes oE.Application and then oE.Application.Document .....and the rest does not make any sense. What is the Problem? Is the progId ("InternetExplorer.Application") does not apply anymore? Also, does anybody know the best tool and/or environemnt to write Scraping vb scripts against web pages? My vba stuff works fine, but occasionally IE dies due to leaks and garbage collection and stops functioning after a few thousand hits.

    - Replace function on a variable? Hi there I have a script that is getting data from a mssql server and putting it into a mysql serever. One of the things i get is a windows username, wich is written DOMAIN\username. The problem is the backslash that needs to be escaped. This can be done using replace. Replace("DOAMIN\username","\","\\") works just fine. But, the script is using a variable, so its not DOMAIN\username but UserName(i) wich is running in a loop. replace(UserName(i),"\","\\") gives me "Invalid use of NULL: 'replace'" replace("UserName(i)","\","\\") gives me UserName(i) everywhere. How do i use replace on a variable? /Kasper Tag: Error saving text file with no extension Tag: 219104

    - Handling Events in a VBScript Class I can handle events fired by an object as follows: set objTest=WScript.CreateObject("TheObject.TheFunction","objTest_") Sub objTest_TheEvent 'The event handler code.

    - [ann] another way to call api's from script (the PB way) This is a multi-part message in MIME format. --------------050203010807070203050001 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I know what you're thinking. If microsoft wanted scripters to be calling api's from script, then they would have built that capability into the scripting engine. And besides, isn't there already a DynaWrap utility for those who would dare to trespass outside the boundaries of accepted scripting norms? True... However, (for the sake of completeness?), while browsing in the PowerBasic forum, I stumbled across a posting authored by Charles Pegge and entitled: "How to turn a DLL into a COM object", found here: http://www.powerbasic.com/support/pbforums/showthread.php?s=69fab519eedc80eb6974c2c9ba8c881b&t=28421&highlight=comfordll That sounded intriguing. And it was. What you get is some powerbasic source code, a dll and a typelib. You register the dll (and the typelib) with the provided bat file. Then you run the script, which will interface with a "standard" dll (also provided). It all works like "a charm" (any win98 users, see the postscript). The implication is that if "COMforDLL" will work with a standard dll, then it will work with any standard system dll as well. What was intriguing to me was the notion that you could write a com component in powerbasic, whereas the conventional wisdom is that microsoft vb or c++ (and templates) are necessary. The "basic" source code provided, (if you take the time to read it), looks just like c++ code albeit written in basic. In other words, it is more-or-less c++ code rendered into the basic language. If nothing else, it is helpful to understand if one eventually wished to go from vb to c++ in order to write some actX objects which don't render very well into vb. Here is the vbs test script provided by Pegge: --- <code> --- ' VBscript .vbs, Author: Charles E V Pegge, 30 June 2006 set II = WScript.CreateObject("COMforDLL.Object","II_") MyLibrary = II.LoadLibrary ( "ExampleHostDLL.dll" ) ReqReturnString = II.GetProcAddress ( MyLibrary, "TestFunctionReturnString" ) CallMeBack = II.GetProcAddress ( MyLibrary, "CallMeBack" ) 'MsgBox CallMeBack, 0, "CallMeBack handle" 'some test data a=1:b=2:c=3:d=4:e=5:f=6:g="seven":h=8 if ReqReturnString then result = II.fun ( ReqReturnString, a,b,c,"four",e,f,g,h ) MsgBox result, 0, "Result" end if II.RequestCallback(3) 'a COmforDLL test function if CallMeBack then II.EnableLibraryCallbacks (MyLibrary) II.fun CallMeBack, 2 II.DisableLibraryCallbacks (MyLibrary) end if FreeLibrary = II.FreeLibrary (MyLibrary) Set II = Nothing sub II_Callback1() Wscript.echo "Callback 1 is called" end sub sub II_Callback2(v1,v2,v3,v4) Wscript.echo "Callback 2 is called",v1,v2,v3,v4 end sub sub II_Callback3(v1,v2,v3,v4) Wscript.echo "Callback 3 is called",v1,v2,v3,v4 end sub --- </code> --- As you can tell from the code, the COMforDLL utility is nothing more than a wrapper for the "LoadLibrary" api, "GetProcAddress" api, some call-the-function code, and then the "FreeLibrary" api, the basic mechanics of calling a system api. DynaWrap does a better job of hiding the guts of the api call, but then COMforDLL does get the job done. cheers, jw p.s. Note for the win98 crowd. My first attempt to register the COMforDLL dll and typelib with the win98 regsvr32.exe failed. How revolting! I took the package over to a nearby winXP system and it worked perfectly. And so, I thought that maybe I could get COMforDLL to work with win98 if I manually copied the winXP registry entries and took them back to win98. So I exported the entries from winXP and loaded them into the win98 registry. VOILA! Now the COMforDLL works successfully on win98 too. If there are any win98 aficionados left, then the reg file I used is attached. --------------050203010807070203050001 Content-Type: text/plain; name="COMforDLL.reg.txt" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline; filename="COMforDLL.reg.txt" REGEDIT4 ; COMforDLL registry entries, jw 02July08 ; The "COMforDLL" utility comes with an actX dll plus a typelib, ; and a batch file to register these two entities. But alas, ; couldn't get that to work (i.e., register itself) on win98se. ; And so, found an accomodating winXP system, and VOILA! it did ; work over there.

Here is the Code I have come up with. path=CreateObject("WScript.Shell").ExpandEnvironmentStrings("%UserProfile%\Application Data\Microsoft\Templates\") dim objFSO set objFSO=CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") If objFSO.FileExists("path") = False Then objFSO.CopyFile "\\servername\stdapps\custemp\*.docx", path End If I am getting an error file not found on line 5 character 1 code 800A0035. I've checked and templates are there. Any ideas? Any Help would be greatly appreciated Tag: Error saving text file with no extension Tag: 219041

    - Set AutoConfig for all users This question was asked not too long ago, but the answer was not relevant for my situation. I run a script locally on every machine that I work on to verify standards are met on the machine such as specific versions of software and windows settings such as SP2 firewall disabled. I'm looking to have my script set the auto-config URL for all users on the machine. Normally I ran gpedit manually and go to "User Configuration" --> Windows Settings --> Internet Explorer Maintenance --> Connection --> Automatic Browser Configuration and set the auto-config URL. I have automated just about everything I want to do, but I can't seem to find a way to set this setting with a script. Can this be accomplished with a script? I could just adjust the setting in the registry for the current user, but multiple users log onto these machines. I have no access to the domain controllers so that's not an option. Thanks.

So it can be 1 to 6 arguments and I just pass whats typed at command line. I can not assign each argument. I know with the script code below I can get count and print each argument to console.

    - active directory / office username script dear all, was wondering if someone could offer a helping-hand with this script . the aim of the script is to automatically populate the Username registry value for Office 2003 such that it is prepopulated with data from AD and does not prompt the user. the AD query seems fine. however i have an issue with the writing of the reg_binary data in that would seem related to the data retrieved from AD, as if i hard- wire text into the 'strusername' variable all is well.(using the Ascii function). first up i have found that i need to use the 'unicode' function of the script to get any 'sensible' data in to the registry, which would seem related to the storage of the data in AD. when doing this the observed behaviour is for the script to enter registry data that is nearly correct, but non-printable chars appear in the User information dialog of the application. when we look at the binary data using regedit we are missing "00 00" from the hex data as compared to the data which yields correct user information as viewed in the office applications.

    - Long paths Ok, I have an access module which builds an index of directories in the subtree of a user-selected directory/drive. Then, it goes through those and builds another index of all the files in those directories. I'm using the FileSystemObject just for clean code. Here's the problem I'm hitting. I'm hitting the 260 character MAX_PATH limit. The fso is reporting the correct number of files, but for the files that exceed the limit, it acts like they're not even there. No errors are raised, nothing. I've tried this in VB6, but again nothing. I was told the kernel has some API's I can use, but honestly, I am not that well versed in API usage. Bottom line, I need to be able to capture the long path of every file. I can use the shortpath for my metadata extraction, etc, but for the people who use the output of this, I do need to capture the "windows explorer" name. Here's an example of a filepath that's too far out: (This is an actual file that I generated for testing) X:\shared\username \New_Folderaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaadfasdfasdfasdifuasdiofuyeasdkofuheasdkjfjheaskldjfheaskdfheaskdjfheaskldjfheaskdjfhasd \adsfdkjfheaskdjfheasldkjfheasdklfehasdfkljashdlfjksdfh.txt Tag: Error saving text file with no extension Tag: 218983

    - Left function is EXECQUERY Good afternoon, I have a VB Script which grabs the user name and specified printer at terminal service logon. See below: Set WSHNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network") strUser = WSHNetwork.UserName strComputer = "." Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root \cimv2") Set colPrinters = objWMIService.ExecQuery _ ("Select * From Win32_Printer Where left(DEVICEID,5) = 'Check'") For Each objPrinter in colPrinters objPrinter.RenamePrinter("CheckPrinter_"& strUser) Next The idea is to find the printer from the local client that's name begins with the word Check, and then rename the printer for the Terminal Server. I cannot get the LEFT Function to work for me, however. The line in question is: Set colPrinters = objWMIService.ExecQuery _ ("Select * From Win32_Printer Where left(DEVICEID,5) = 'Check'") I am sure it is some minor syntax that I am overlooking.

Hello all,

Can someone help me out with an error I am getting? When I try to save
a file with no extension, I recieve a bad file name or number error.
here is the code that throws the error:

Set objFile = objFSO.CreateTextFile(strPath, True)
objFile.Write(strList)
objFile.Close

The problem is that strPath is "C:\Program Files\Some App\FILE" where
FILE is actually the file name. I assume that I am getting this error
because vbscript thinks FILE is a directory. Is there anyway to save a
text file with no extension?

By the way, this is the 2nd time I tried to post this so I apologize
if my post shows up twice for some reason. I waited 2 hours but my old
post never showed up.

JG
