    - Help debugging with MSE I have used MSE (Microsoft Development Environment) to debug scripts for some time. I upgraded my system to Office 2007. The Microsoft Development Environment is at version 7.0 and the Microsoft Script Editor says it is version 10.0. Since upgrading, I am unable to do any print of variables in the Command Window. In the past, I would do a ?temp to display the value of the variable temp. No it always comes back with the message 'No Expression'. I know I can always watch variables but sometimes I do not want to do this. I have also tried using Debug.Print but get the same results. Any help?

    - populating two dimensional array with excel data Hi, I'm looking for an efficient way to populate a two dimensional array. The first cell of each row contains the First Name and the second cell has the Last Name. I'm ok up to the part where I actually need to read the data in The code I have for reading the data into the array works but it is just awful: 'loop reading each spreadsheet element into the array n = 0 'counter for array element position intRow = 1 intCol = 1 Do Until objExcel.Cells(intRow,intCol).Value = "" Fullname(n,0) = objExcel.Cells(intRow, intCol).Value intRow = intRow + 1 n = n + 1 Loop intRow = 1 intCol = 2 n = 0 Do Until objExcel.Cells(intRow,intCol).Value = "" Fullname(n,1) = objExcel.Cells(intRow, intCol).Value intRow = intRow + 1 n = n + 1 Loop There has to be a better way.

Many moons ago, I posted a request for help with this same type of issue: http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.scripting.vbscript/browse_thread/thread/f1f78014008099fc/8991e865aeb0bfe6?lnk=gst&q=File+parsing+on+steroids+needed#8991e865aeb0bfe6 As always, I received excellent help on my previous post. Now I'm back again with the same type of issue. I need to (do a complex) search and replace text in a file.

    - RSOP Planning Security problem I've been trying to do some RSOP Planning using a non-admin user account on a domain member workstation. I am using the following VBScript code: strComputer = "DC1" Set locator = CreateObject("WbemScripting.SWbemLocator") Set connection = locator.ConnectServer (strComputer, "root\rsop", null, null, null, null, 0, null) (for the ConnectServer parameters, see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa393720(VS.85).aspx) When I logon to the workstation as an administrator - no problem executing the script. When I use a non-admin account, I get an error 80070005 access denied message executing line 3. I have used the wmimgmt.msc mmc to set permissions on Root\RSOP for "Authenticated Users" to the same as "Administrators" for "this namespace and subnamespaces". I have also granted "Authenticated Users" permission for "RSOP Planning" and "RSOP Logging" on the OU which contains the workstation account. What permissions am I missing???

    - Opening a file of known path but different extension Hi, I've made a script for running the command-line program pdflatex. The script uses a file open dialogue for the user to choose a TeX file, which pdflatex will convert to PDF. After running pdflatex I would like the script to open the file in Adobe Reader (AcroRd32 <filename>). The script knows what the input .tex file is, and the PDF file output from pdflatex will have the same name and path but .pdf extenstion. How can I get the string of the input file and change the extension to .pdf to put into a run method? I have found scripts for changing file extensions but these all seem to use explicit paths (e.g. here: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/scriptcenter/resources/qanda/jun07/hey0601.mspx). I assume I can do something with regular expressions but I'm lost as to how to use them in this case. Here's my script so far: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 'Create shell object Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject ("WSCript.shell") StartBox Function GetFileName( myDir, myFilter ) ' This function opens a File Open Dialog and returns the ' fully qualified path of the selected file as a string.

' myFilter is the file type filter; format "File type description| *.ext" ' ALL arguments MUST get A value (use "" for defaults), OR otherwise you must ' use "On Error Resume Next" to prevent error messages. ' ' Dependencies: ' Requires NUSRMGRLib (nusrmgr.cpl), available in Windows XP and later. ' To use the default "My Documents" WScript.Shell is used, which isn't ' available in HTAs. ' ' Written by Rob van der Woude ' http://www.robvanderwoude.com ' Standard housekeeping Dim objDialog ' Create a dialog object Set objDialog = CreateObject( "UserAccounts.CommonDialog" ) ' Check arguments and use defaults when necessary If myDir = "" Then ' Default initial folder is "My Documents" objDialog.InitialDir = CreateObject( "WScript.Shell" ).SpecialFolders( "MyDocuments" ) Else ' Use the specified initial folder objDialog.InitialDir = myDir End If If myFilter = "" Then ' Default file filter is "All files" objDialog.Filter = "All files|*.*" Else ' Use the specified file filter objDialog.Filter = myFilter End If ' Open the dialog and return the selected file name If objDialog.ShowOpen Then GetFileName = objDialog.FileName Else WScript.Quit End If End Function Function CheckFileExists(sFileName) 'Function for checking file exists.

    - Problem with DGSET GROUP report I made a simple batch file to get a list of machines belonging to certain groups, save it to a file then open it in Excel. See below: dsget group "cn=AdobeAcrobat9,ou=*,ou=Groups,ou=*,DC=*,DC=*" -members - expand | sort > "c:\documents and settings\%username%\desktop \spreadsheetname.xls start excel.exe "c:\documents and settings\%username%\desktop \spreadsheetname.xls It works but the output is ugly with it displaying a bunch of info about the path that to the OU that I don't need to look at, and, at the same time, there is a bit more info I want that I can't get it to display. It has the following problems. 1. Excel fails to seperate the OU info into seperate cells despite the info being seperated by commas. (I'd like to solve this comma seperation or just not show this info). 2. I need to get the "description" field of the computers, but when I try to add "desc" to dsget it gives the description field of the AdobeAcrobat9 group instead the description field of each of the members of the group. 3. I really don't need it to display all the OU info. All I'd like it do is save a list of the machine names that belong to the AdobeAcrobat9 group in a format Excel can display elegantly and in alphabetical order. The description field of each of the member computers should be displayed in the same row as the computer name. How can this be done? Can it be done with a simple bat file or does it have to be a vbs script? Tag: Running an executable within a VBscript Tag: 219321

The name of the file is in long format as indicated by the stmpFile variable. Since the file name will be different for every user, I want to pass the variable name instead of the file name. However the long format is not allowing the import. I know I have to pass the quotes along with the variable. I have tried several syntax however, none of which have worked.

    - Pipe a pipe command to a file I couldn't find any better place to post this, so here it is: I'm trying to find a way to echo a pipe command (>>) to a file. Basically I'm trying to have one batch file create another batch file on the fly. Unfortunately one of the commands already has a pipe command in it: FOR /F %%I IN ('%1') DO ECHO %%~I >>%2 So to pipe it to a batch file, I would normally do this: echo FOR /F %%I IN ('%1') DO ECHO %%~I >>%2 >> c:\test.bat Unfortunately this fails because there are two sets of pipe commands (>>) in the line. Is there a way around this, maybe a way to specify ASCII characters in place of >>? Thanks, -- Bill Baker Tag: Running an executable within a VBscript Tag: 219308

    - regular expressions to replace but keep character? Is there a way to use Replace with Regular Expressions but keep a character in the original string? A simplified example: If we have "< a >" or "<b >" or "< br>" within a string and we want to remove the spaces, but keep the character, is there a way this can be done? A Regular Expression can find the substring with something like "<\s*[a-z]\s*>" (only finds one character), but the ReplaceWith argument appears to be static. Is there any way to keep the character?

    - Rename old NT4 user accounts. We have recently purchased another comany and I need to take their old NT4 domain and convert all the user account ids to be an employee number. This will match our 2003 AD domain. This is the first step in migrating their domain into ours. I have seen numerous examples on how to change the user id. My question is: Using VB how would I query the other domain with different credentials than what I am logged into my computer. There is no trust between NT4 and 2003 domains. There will be over 900 accounts to change and I really really dont want to sit in front of user manager for a weekend changing all the accounts. Thanks, Don Tag: Running an executable within a VBscript Tag: 219273

    - Trying to organize 3k+ folders with a script We have a server that has over 3k folders containing scanned check images, and they need to be organized into folders by year, then month, then day. Not every day has images. The naming structure for the folders is as follows: 0011117040010187 001 (Branch) | 11 (month) | 17 (day) | 04 (year) | 0010187 The folder structure we would like to use looks like this: 2004 --11 NOV ---01 ---02 etc. We can do this by hand, but with so many images i thought it might be easier to use a script. I would figure it out by myself, but I couldn't program to save my life. I almost failed numbers and logic in college if that tells you anything. Any help would be appreciated though and probably useful to many people in the future :) Tag: Running an executable within a VBscript Tag: 219238

    - 800A01B6: Object doesn't support this property or method Hey all, I'm trying to automate and online process that we use to submit information. I'm running into this error ONLY for ONE field and it is becoming very frustrating... here is the code snippet: With IE With .Document With .All .rid.Value = Wscript.Arguments.Item(0) .dispense_date.Value = Wscript.Arguments.Item(1) .prescriber_id.Value = Wscript.Arguments.Item(2) .pres_date.Value = Wscript.Arguments.Item(3) .charge.Value = Wscript.Arguments.Item(4) .rx_number.Value = Wscript.Arguments.Item(5) .Quantity_dispensed.Value = Wscript.Arguments.Item(7) .newrefil.Value = Wscript.Arguments.Item(8) .ingrcost.Value = Wscript.Arguments.Item(9) .daysup.Value = Wscript.Arguments.Item(10) .levelserv.Value = 3 .cde_ndc.Value = Wscript.Arguments.Item(6) <-- here is where it crashes End With End With End With Every field besides this one works and will fill in properly. Literally EVERY field... I've tried every single possible field on the web page... this is the only one that doesn't work I KNOW that this is the proper name for the text field and I've tried MULTIPLE ways to get around this issue. I also know it is, in fact, a text field. I'm not super proficient in HTML, but as far as I can tell there is no difference between this field and any other. The only method I can run using this object is ".Length". I've no idea where to go from here. Here is the HTML for that particular field: <td><input type="text" size="15" maxlength="11" name="cde_ndc" datafld="cde_ndc" ID="cde_ndc" style="BACKGROUND-COLOR:white"></td> the only other line of HTML is the initializing statement and this: <DIV datafld="cde_ndc" align="left" nowrap style="OVERFLOW-X: hidden"></DIV> but the other fields that have this information will work The field itself should just be an 11 digit number/string...

    - Known bug in CStr (Date ()) in WSH 5.7? Hi folks I've recently updated my XP laptop to SP3 which has uplifted WSH to v5.7 and this has introduced a bug regarding the Date () function. When the result is being converted to a string, it doesn't use the correct local format, but seems to default to US format instead. Here in the UK the standard format is DD/MM/YYYY. Here is some example code: WScript.Echo Date () WScript.Echo â??â?? & Date () WScript.Echo CStr (Date ()) Under 5.6 this produces the correct output: Microsoft (R) Windows Script Host Version 5.6 Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation 1996-2001. All rights reserved. 04/07/2008 04/07/2008 04/07/2008 Under WSH 5.7 the output is: Microsoft (R) Windows Script Host Version 5.7 Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved. 04/07/2008 7/4/2008 7/4/2008 This happens in both cscript.exe and wscript.exe. Is this a known bug? The main problem I have with it is that any WMI queries using the date either fail or return the wrong data. Regards Tony Longson. Tag: Running an executable within a VBscript Tag: 219234

    - StdOut.ReadAll blocking? Hello! I'm working on a script using the WshShell.Exec() method. To avoid buffer overflow problem (if I read the whole StdOut at the end of the execution, sometimes my script hangs) I found a suggestion on the "Hey, Scripting Guy!" MS blog: use a StdOut.ReadAll inside the waiting loop. But please notice these two examples: -- Ex1, without ReadAll -- Dim elapsedSecs elapsedSecs = 0 Dim quit quit = False Dim objShell Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell") Dim objCmd Set objCmd = objShell.Exec("ping 10.113.203.200") Do While quit = False If objCmd.Status = 1 Then quit = True Else WScript.Sleep 100 elapsedSecs = elapsedSecs + 0.1 End If Loop WScript.Echo "Elapsed seconds: " & elapsedSecs -- output: "Elapsed seconds: 2,8" -- Ex2, with ReadAll -- Dim elapsedSecs elapsedSecs = 0 Dim quit quit = False Dim objShell Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell") Dim objCmd Set objCmd = objShell.Exec("ping 10.113.203.200") Do While quit = False If Not objCmd.StdOut.AtEndOfStream Then outBuffer = outBuffer & objCmd.StdOut.ReadAll End If If objCmd.Status = 1 Then quit = True Else WScript.Sleep 100 elapsedSecs = elapsedSecs + 0.1 End If Loop WScript.Echo "Elapsed seconds: " & elapsedSecs -- output: "Elapsed seconds: 0" It seems ReadAll is blocking my loop until the objCmd exits... why? thanks!

    - To bring to front existing process... Hi, I had written the following codes as separate vbs files and then called each of them using a batch file that in turn is configured in Task Scheduler in windows, to run whenever the system starts up. The problem I'm facing is ... the second process(cdxfm.exe) does not show as a window on desktop. I mean both the process'(esproc_TUW.exe and cdxfm.exe) should be seen as normal sized windows whenever I login with the service account used to run the Task scheduler. But, I see only the window for 'esproc_TUW.exe' and do not see any window on desktop for 'cdxfm.exe'. I would like to mention another thing that this works fine when I run the Task Scheduler manually, however does not work as expected when the server is restarted and the Task scheduler takes action on its own. This was verified after logging into the server using the same service account and did not find the second process(cdxfm.exe) window open but I can see 2 process ID's for the 1st one and only 1 process id for the second one, with the second one not showing up in front as a window. I have tried the following vbs codes to no avail. Code 1: strProcess1 = "cdxserv.exe" strComputer = "." WScript.Echo Date & vbTab & Time & vbTab & "Start of Script..." Call Process1 WScript.Echo Date & vbTab & Time & vbTab & "...End of Script" WScript.Quit Sub Process1() Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell") WshShell.Run "D:\ESPS\CoreDoss\esproc_TUW.exe -D -I", 1 WshShell.Run "D:\ESPS\CoreDoss\cdxfm.exe", 1 WScript.Echo Date & vbTab & Time & vbTab & "Created Process: " & strProcess1 & " on " & strComputer End Sub Set WshShell = Nothing Code 2: Const priorityNormal = 32 Const SW_SHOWNORMAL = 1 ' ShowWindow (api) constants...

Under that header is a URL link that I would like to change (Example: http://rwa.squadron.com/...) in each XLS file located in that directory. Each week the only thing changing in the url would be the first part of the URL rwa would change to rwb. Next week that would change to rwc and the week after that to rwd. Is there a way to prompt the user to enter the new url and then traverse through the directory and go into each excel file and change the url to the one that was entered in by the user? In some cases, an excel file will have multiple rows with an url address, it would have to change them as well. Any and all help in this matter is greatly appreciated.

Do something like this ...

sSystem = "SomeName"
sUser = "SomeUserID"
set WshShell = createobject("Wscript.Shell")
WshShell.Run "filename /u " & sUser & " /s " & sSystem

Review the WSH documentation for Run for more details:
