    - Reformatting text II .... Hi. I would like to use vbscript to reformat text in a musiclibrary. I allready got good help in building a part of the script. (Thanks very much to Tom Ogilvy and Helmut Weber...) Short explanation: 1. Reading a textfile - line by line: Could be done with the script: Const ForReading = 1 Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") Set objTextFile = objFSO.OpenTextFile _ ("c:\composer.txt", ForReading) Do Until objTextFile.AtEndOfStream strNextLine = objTextFile.Readline arrServiceList = Split(strNextLine , vbNewLine) 'Wscript.Echo arrServiceList(0) For i = 1 to Ubound(arrServiceList) ' Wscript.Echo arrServiceList(i) Next Loop 2. Reformat the text in each line by the script: Dim s 'the text in variable s should be replaced by the text from line 1 in the textfile. s = "ADAMS, BRYAN (ENG) + " & "DENVER, JOHN (USA) + JARRE, " & "JEAN MICHELLE (FRA) + " & "THE BEATLES + THE DOORS" wscript.echo(SwitchOrder(s)) Public Function SwitchOrder(s) Dim v,s1,s2,s3,s4,s5,iloc,iloc1 v = Split(s, "+") For i = LBound(v) To UBound(v) s1 = Trim(v(i)) iloc = InStr(1, s1, "(", vbTextCompare) If iloc <> 0 Then s5 = Trim(Right(s1, Len(s1) - iloc + 1)) s2 = Left(s1, iloc - 1) iloc1 = InStr(1, s2, ",", vbTextCompare) s3 = Trim(Left(s2, iloc1 - 1)) s4 = Trim(Right(s2, Len(s2) - iloc1)) s4 = s4 & " " & s3 & " " & s5 v(i) = s4 End If Next SwitchOrder = Join(v, " + ") End Function 3. Write the result into a new textfile *****Example of a textfile: DENVER, JOHN (USA) + MOORE, ROGER (USA) THE BEATLES + STEWART, ROD ... .... ..... I'm having problem with combining all my information to form the total script. Any experts who can answer ?

    - Startup Script I have written a simple map drive script that would map an N: drive to a remote system on startup. I have modified the gpedit.msc and added the vbs script to run at startup; however, after I reboot the system it ignores the vbs file and dosn't map the drive. The script works fine if I double-click the file within Windows; but, will not run it at startup. How can I get the system to see the script and run it at startup so the sytem will have a network drive mapped even though no one is logged in? -- Thanks!

    - to: fans of vb5cce (where is it?) hi vb5cce fans. Like me, you have enjoyed the free visual basic compiler, "visual basic 5 control creation edition", graciously provided by microsoft for people who like to write "objects" (ocx's) to supplement the vbScript language. The vb5cce compiler was first offered in the late 1990's, and has been kept available for downloading by microsoft (surprisingly) until this year (last tested late spring). Now, the latest link to the download no longer works: http://download.microsoft.com/msdownload/sbn/vbcce/vb5ccein.exe although, the vb5cce "help file" download is still there (explain that?): http://download.microsoft.com/download/5/2/5/5253a7ea-1310-40d8-b762-625c2019310e/ccehelp.exe O.K., so here's the question. Does anybody know where the vb5cce compiler download has been moved to, or else know definitively if microsoft has intentionally removed it. Also note, while vb5cce was released in the era of win95, it still works perfectly well on winXP, and so would still serve a useful purpose -- at least for folks who feel that vbScript ought to have had more features than ms doeth provide. Also note(2): yes, microsoft does now provide vb 2005 express edition for free (at least for now), and you can use it to write COM objects callable from script. But, I would assert that vb2005exp is 10-to-100 times more complicated and difficult to code with and get a working object. On top of that, you have to drag along the humongous net framework which takes up 100 times more storage than the vb5 runtimes. cheers, jw Tag: HTMLEncode works only in English chars, but not in other UTF-8 languages Tag: 196359

It opens an IE page, shows an animated clock, tells the user to click a button if they don't want the computer to shut down after 30 seconds. If they don't click the button, then the PC shuts down. If they do the script quits. All the parts of the script work except the input button.

    - Schema/Object Map Names Help This is a very basic question. I'm new to ADSI scripting and I'm having some trouble finding my way around - I feel like I'm feeling around in the dark. I'd like a nice list/diagram of the Active Directory object model. For example, what are the objects under the User Class, and what are their attributes. I'm learning the VBS language for accessing this stuff, but I can't find the names of the things I'd like to access. For example, in the Active Directory gui Account tab there are four options under Account Options. I'd like to know how to access these options with ADSI/VBS but I don't know what to call them in ADSI. Tag: HTMLEncode works only in English chars, but not in other UTF-8 languages Tag: 196339

    - Using VBS to write VBA macros in Excel Is there any way to open a file in Excel and write a macro into the visual basic editor? At first I tried to do automation using VBS but found that I need to keep on searching for values of various constants defined in Excel to make them work in VBS. My idea is this. Suppose I need to create a specific kind of chart, the program I use (SAS) can generate a VBS file and run it. The VBS file in turn will generate an excel file, open VB editor inside it and write a macro and then run it. Is there any way to do this? Thanks in advance.

    - Resolving the names of none windows devices Hi, I have a list of hostnames in a textfile. These are non-Windows devices and we use Bind DNS. I want to resolve those names using a script to an IP Address and write that to a text file. I'm not sure if I can use nslookup or just ping the devices and then add them in to a text file, whichever would be easiest, but in the text file, I need to end up with ONLY the hostname and IP. I have a netsh command I can then run from a for loop in a batch script to add the records to a wins server, to create static entries, which is what I'm after, but I'm stuck on getting the actual hostnames resolved to an IP address.

Right now, we are in the process of moving from a workgroup to a domain, so everyone has a local profile on the copmuter with their desktop and favorites, etc. What I want to do is have it so that when the users first log on to the domain, it will copy their Desktop and Favorites from their old profile to the new one (in this case it is C:\Docs and Settings\Username to C:\Docs and Settings\Username.MYDOMAIN) Anyway, I thought I had this all nice and good as it worked fine when I tried logging in. When I tried logging in as a different user, however, I get a path cannot be found when I try to grab a folder object (ie objFSO.GetFolder(strSource)). The only thing I can think of is that maybe this is some type of permissions problem? I think this because when I tried to open up C:\Docs and Settings\Username when the user was logged on I get an "Access is Denied Error." I, on the other hand, am an admin/domain admin and have no problem getting to other profiles on this computer. I tried making the user a local admin, but I still got the same problem in the script and still am unable to open C:\Docs and Settings\Username. Any ideas? Thanks for the advice!

    - Printing messages to different printers Hello, How do I print text from VBS to a specific printer on our network. For example, I hit a database and pull in the variables 'Department' and 'Content' and if say 'Department' equals 'Marketing' it'll print the contents of 'Content' to the marketing printer. I'll have this script scheduled to run every 5 minutes, and once the message is printed it'll flag it as so in the database as to not print it again. Thanks ...

    - Automatically hide/show text... Here's what I got: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML> <HEAD> <script language=vbscript> sub toggle(id) if document.all(id).style.display = "block" then document.all(id).style.display = "none" else document.all(id).style.display = "block" end if end sub </script> </HEAD> <BODY> <a href="#" onclick="toggle('more')">Click me</a> <div id=more style="display:none;">this is more text...</div> <br> <a href="#" onclick='toggle("more2")'>Click me again</a> <div id="more2" style="display:None;">More more text!</div> </BODY> </HTML> A pretty simple show/hide to display text and hide it with a click again. I was wondering if someone knew how to hide the previously selected item when an item is selected... I need it to work automatically without having to write a huge "hideAll()" that hides all the Divs as this page will change a lot (using for an FAQ/News page) Thanks!

    - Dumbass newbie question Hi There, I found some VB the other day within the Script Centre repository to bring me the members of distribution lists. It worked well the other day. When I'm querying another domain with different naming conventions however, I'm having problems. The main problems (I think) are the use of spaces in my OU name, and that each DL begins with a '#' character. I found an article within Google groups asying I should put a '\' before my '#' to cure this, but no luck. If someone could have a look at the below and advise me of the actual syntax I should be using, I'd be very grateful. *************************************************** On Error Resume Next Set objGroup = GetObject _ ("LDAP://cn=#inquiries@xxxxx.com,ou=Distribution Lists,ou=us,dc=na,dc=ad,dc=xxxxx,dc=com") objGroup.GetInfo arrMemberOf = objGroup.GetEx("member") WScript.Echo "Members:" For Each strMember in arrMemberOf WScript.echo strMember Next *************************************************** Many Thanks in advance, Orb.

    - Script works on one Win2000 server but not another I'm trying to troubleshoot a vbs script that runs fine on some Win2000 servers but not others. If I manually run the script it runs fine, but if I let a tool called Big Brother run it, it doesn't return any data. The Big Brother tool should be running it using the system account. It previously returned data until I put a MonthName() requirement in. All servers are Win2000 SP4 and patched up to Aug patches. I've looked at wmimgmt.msc and tried to compare settings. I think I see some security differences there but don't know if I'm even touching this. In comparing a system that works to one that doesn't they are both using wsh 5.6. They may be at different mdac levels if that matters. The script reads a registry setting, separates out the date and compares it to todays date. It then sends updates based on the results to the Big Brother tool. I'm looking for some help in troubleshooting why it will run under my account and not the system and why it runs fine on 5 out of 8 systems.

    - (free advice) avoid msgboxes in event handlers all right, all right, you already know this(?). You may exit here. As for myself, I have always adhered to the principal that an event handler ought to be as minimal as possible. Preferably just set a flag, and do your processing elsewhere. The motivation behind this was a concern (maybe just a vague uneasiness) about all the messages flying around the system, and the possibility of losing one as a result of spending too much time in an event handler. And so, I have tended to avoid msgboxes in event handlers without the benefit of any free advice. Anyway, the free advice comes as a result of lurking in the windows api ng. Lately there has been an extremely long thread concerning the above subject, with sub-debates concerning what actually happens when you do use a msgbox in an event handler. While the api guys delight in the details, you scripters just want to get the job done, and so the above advice. Just set aside all the technicalities, and avoid msgboxes in event handlers altogether. cheers, jw Tag: HTMLEncode works only in English chars, but not in other UTF-8 languages Tag: 196225

Hi,

I have a textarea which the user can enter whatever text he chooses.

<TEXTAREA id=body name=body></TEXTAREA>

I would like to avoid supporting HTML tags in this textarea at the
moment, therefore I use the following HTML encode support:

Dim p_Body : p_Body = Server.HTMLEncode(Request.Form("Body"))

This works fine if I write text in latin characters (in English) - than
only the HTML tags are encoded.
But if I write text in other UTF-8 chars (e.g.: Hebrew) - all the text
is encoded, and it becomes unreadable.

What Am I doing wrong?

Thanks,
Gabi
