    - Need help filtering /querying specific text from large text /log file Hi everyone I need a script to pull only a small part of text from each line in my log file with 2000 plus lines. each line contains various web trending data, ip address, url etc. i need to pull specific part of each line from the text file/log and put it in its own output.txt file. each line has a url with various pdf file name at the end need to pull only the text after the url section example ( www.blahblah.com/salestools/bysn-6lydea_ro_en.pdf) I need only the info after salestools/ and before .pdf put into its own output file. Because there are over a hundred pdf names i need this to be a wildcard. if possible i need to group them as well, (put similar /same text names in their own colum or group in the output file.) any ideas?

    - How can I follow a trail of 302 redirects with MSXML2.XMLHTTP? Hi all ... I have an interesting one here. I have some code that I've been using for years to pull down HTTP content as needed. However, I've just run into a situation that I've never seen before, and can't quite figure a way around ... Background: If a URL fed to MSXML2.XMLHTTP via VBScript returns a 302 "redirect" when loaded - VBScript will crap out on the page load due to security settings in IE, if the redirected URL is in another domain. You won't get any content back as a part of the response, and the HTTP status code actually comes back as "0". However ... if you enable the "Access data sources across domains" option in the security settings for IE - the MSXML2.XMLHTTP control will follow the 302 path and eventually get the final result page and return the contents to you. (/RANT-ON ... I shouldn't have to change settings in IE to control how my VBScript program will work! Ugh! /RANT-OFF) However, I would like to detect this 302 activity and track it from the starting page to the ending page. For instance, here's WGET tracking a two-layer redirect from a Feedburner link that demonstrates the situation: 1. WGET http://feeds.geffen.com/artist/robzombie/content?m=145 HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 302 Moved Temporarily Location: http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/artist/robzombie/content/~0/145 [following] 2. WGET http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/artist/robzombie/content/~0/145 HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 302 Moved Temporarily Location: http://www.geffen.com/artist/news/default.aspx/nid/8031/aid/414/?utm_s ource=rss&utm_campaign=rss&utm_medium=News&utm_content=nid_8031 [following] 3. WGET http://www.geffen.com/artist/news/default.aspx/nid/8031/aid/414/?u tm_source=rss&utm_campaign=rss&utm_medium=News&utm_content=nid_8031 Resolving www.geffen.com... 192.251.67.164 Connecting to www.geffen.com|192.251.67.164|:80... connected. HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 200 OK Length: 8,294 (8.1K) [text/html] Here's some code I put together, to try to loop through each redirect until a final non-302 result is returned ... and state what the final link was. But I can't seem to find any way to get this concept to work based on what MSXML2.XMLHTTP provides me, given its interaction with Internet Explorer. Basically, if I enable the "Access data sources across domains" the control will simply follow the 302's and not tell me about it, and return the final page but with a link that (technically) doesn't match. If I disable the option, the GET performed by XMLHTTP craps out, returns a 0 result code. Any thoughts on a way to accomplish this? Is it even possible, or am I trying to do something that is completely outside of the control provided by MS? Thanks in advance ... Const READYSTATE_UNINITIALIZED = 0, _ READYSTATE_INITIALIZED = 1, _ READYSTATE_LOADED = 2, _ READYSTATE_INTERACTIVE = 3, _ READYSTATE_COMPLETE = 4 MaxLoadTime = 20 MaxLoops = 10 url = "http://feeds.geffen.com/artist/robzombie/content?m=145" StatusResult = 302 LoopCount = 0 wscript.echo "START: " & url Do while loopcount < maxloops and statusresult = 302 loopcount = loopcount + 1 CheckPageLoadTime = 0 PageLoadStartTime = now() Set objHTTP = CreateObject("MSXML2.XMLHTTP.3.0") Call objHTTP.Open("GET", url, TRUE) objHTTP.Send Do Until objHTTP.ReadyState = READYSTATE_COMPLETE or CheckPageLoadTime > MaxLoadTime wscript.sleep 100 PageLoadEndTime = now() CheckPageLoadTime = DateDiff("s", PageLoadStartTime, PageLoadEndTime) Loop HTTPGET = objHTTP.ResponseText StatusResult = objHTTP.Status HTTPRedirectLocation = objHTTP.GetResponseHeader("Location") If CheckPageLoadTime > MaxLoadTime then wscript.echo "TIMEOUT" end if IF StatusResult = 302 then wscript.echo "REDIRECT: " & HTTPRedirectLocation url = HTTPRedirectionLocation end if loop wscript.echo "END: " & url wscript.echo wscript.echo "HTTP Status: " & StatusResult wscript.echo "Redirects: " & loopcount Here's my results with the security option set to disabled: START: http://feeds.geffen.com/artist/robzombie/content?m=145 END: http://feeds.geffen.com/artist/robzombie/content?m=145 HTTP Status: 0 Redirects: 10 And here's my result with the security option set to enabled: START: http://feeds.geffen.com/artist/robzombie/content?m=145 END: http://feeds.geffen.com/artist/robzombie/content?m=145 HTTP Status: 200 Redirects: 1 So, to me, it seems as though it is possible to trace the string of 302's through the MSXML2.XMLHTTP control??

    - Passing parameters from command line Hopefully this is pretty simple and I'm just not seeing it in my book. I have a vbs script that calls Excel and runs a macro. I would like to generalize it so that I can pass in the path to any spreadsheet, the name of the spreadsheet and the macro to run. I can write a sub to do it and then call the sub, but because of another language involved in this process, for it to work I need to be able to call the script via command line and pass the parameters that way. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Tag: Script to know default printer Tag: 192144

    - export startup and shutdown times to file Hello, I'm very new to scripting and am looking for help, as general or specific as you care to provide. I want a script that would be run at computer startup and computer shutdown to record the computer name and time of the event to text/database/excel/e-mail (I don't care which right now) file. This wouldn't be the same as reading the event log, as getting updates from the event log would require the computer to be on. The general point is that we have users that often spend months away from the office, and we have no idea who they are or when this occurs. If their computers are not on, the WSUS server and HFNETCHECK cannot update them. If I have a way of seeing which machines are off for extended times, we can turn them on and manually update them. We would place these scripts in the startup/shutdown area of Group Policy. Thanks for any ideas. Tag: Script to know default printer Tag: 192141

I tried to use the following input in my HTA; <p align="center"><font size="4"> Enter Server Text File Here: <input type="File" name="Stxt" Size="40"></p> The problem is that it only pulls the file name and NOT the full path, so I get a file not found error when I run my script.

Now the core task is to take the pdf from H: to publish in G: on respective user folder that even inside date folder. ( let say today's date is june 6, 2006) the folder struture should be like this 2006-->june-->06 Also for every month folder we need create date folder(say 1st june to 30th june). Also we need to update the status on the table sucess or failure. I need the Macro vbscript (code) to acheive this. Pls help me in this regard.

    - How to Use ActiveX for Client PC using ASP Hi Friends, I have created one ActiveX DLL in VB that has one public function ("GetClientCPUID") which will return a string of the CPUID. I want to use this to get the clients CPUID and retuern to webserver. I am new to using activeX in client side. In Asp how can I send this ActiveX to client browser? (I will instruct my users to allow this activeX). Is there a way I will execute this activeX in clients PC and get the return value and return to the server for my processing? Please suggest the ways that I can do this. Also suggest what are the situations that I should know before I proceed. I think there will might a issue when I upgrade the activeX and the client those are using the current one may face problem so I think I will need a way to uninstall the register the new one. I am not sure of this. Please suggest. Thanks Prabhat Tag: Script to know default printer Tag: 192108

    - Browsing for Files I'm looking for a handy way for a vbscript to display a file browse dialog box. One method I've seen discussed is to use the Shell.Application BrowseForFolder method with a flag that tells it to also browse for files. E.g. Const BIF_browseincludefiles = &H4000 Set ShellApp = CreateObject("Shell.Application") Set Ret = ShellApp.BrowseForFolder(0, "Choose file.", BIF_browseincludefiles) In practice, however, this code generates the error "The system cannot find the file specified" on my XP and 2003 systems. Is there some kind of workaround to prevent this error? Thanks, -- Joseph Morales [To reply directly, remove "deletethispart." from my E-mail address ] Tag: Script to know default printer Tag: 192095

    - how to get file version To know if an hotfix is installed I need to get the "complete" file version of some files.

Oddly enough, VS will run other post build commands I test. But as soon as I change it to the vbscript it doesnt work... no errors or messages, just doesnt run.

Script to rename multiple files and file extension to .txt files I am working on a particular batch file to do many things, here is the jist of it. we have a series of log files which get updated daily, they have bizarre long file names (they are sent to us from a 3rd party company) the files come to me looking like this file below. www_22851.esw3c_s.200606010000-2400-1.gz the www_22851. remains constant in all the files (although this could change evenutally) the part after that changes up to the .gz i have a utility to unzip the files (gzip) but due to the fact that they are unix originated once they are unzipped they use the example ( .20606010000 * etc. ) for the file type. this utility works fine in a batch file enviroment. In order for my unix2dos converter utility to work they need to be in a .txt format. I need a vbscript that is able to change all the files to a random file name with .txt extension. for example Log1.txt Log2.txt , Log3.txt and so on but when it creates these they cannot write over any older ones. so the file name cannot start at log1 everytime it runs. it needs to start at whatever the last log file was (if the last one was log3.txt then next time it runs it needs to start at log4.txt) Any help on this is greatly appreciated Tag: Script to know default printer Tag: 192089

    - !VBscript install from UNC Path example needed To All: I am working on a Visual Basic script where it will install a MSI file from a UNC path. The problems I've encountered have to do with accessing the .MSI from a UNC path. If both the myapp.vbs file and the myapp.msi file (both are similarly named) are in the same folder in the UNC path, then how or what is the recommended way to acces the .MSI through vbscript? I would prefer not to map a drive as the windows server share has many folders underneath it so it would not be easy to search through the whole directory/tree structure to find the correct .MSI file. Can anyone provide an example of copying an .MSI down to the local file system where I can access it through vbscript as a local file system object? I also need to know how to search through the process table for certain process names and where found, kill them. Thanks for any help you can offer!

I am trying to write a script to backup and clear the events on remote Windows servers., the script should then write an event in to the app log on each server that it is done, and backup the events to a remote share that has a folder for each system. So I have tried to write the script to pull the remote systems name from a text file. Which is what I think I have done? Next I want use that â??strComputerâ?? to append to the backup name string, also to use that â??strComputerâ?? as the location of the folder on the share server. As well as making sure that the app event log on the â??strComputerâ?? has been update. All I seam to get to work is step one, pulling the name. Any help or thoughts would be great.

    - Just can't get the hang of arrays in vbscript Dim aryFields : ReDim aryFields(0) ' why I can't just put the (0) in the original dim is besides me. Response.Write varType(aryFields) Response.Write isEmpty(aryFields) Response.Write isNull(aryFields) Response.Write Ubound(aryFields) From my output it tells me. 8204, so its a varient array False, so it's not empty False, so it's not null Script out of range 'Ubound' Seriously, if it's an array which is not null or empty, then why can't i do ubound? I feel like it's never safe to use ubound anywhere, but I have to anyway. My code is getting extremely bugging because of this. What am I supposed to be doing?

    - Event handling in Script Control The code below should open an instance of ie, add it to a ScriptControl, navigate to about:blank, and catch ie's DownloadComplete event within the ScriptControl. It's all working except for last part. Q1. How can I get the vbscript below (.vbs file) to work (ie. call the event handler)? This is meant to be adapted into a script control invoked via another scripting language (PHP) so I won't have the WScript object at my disposal. Thanks for any tips, Csaba Gabor from Vienna Set ie=CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application") Set sc=CreateObject("MSScriptControl.ScriptControl") sc.Language = "VBScript" sc.AddCode "Sub Test()" & vbcrlf & _ "scie.Visible = true" & vbcrlf & _ "scie.Navigate2 (""about:blank"")" & vbcrlf & _ "End Sub" sc.AddObject "scie", ie sc.State=1 sc.AddCode "Sub scie_DownloadComplete()" & vbcrlf & _ "MsgBox ""DownloadComplete""" & vbcrlf & _ "End Sub" sc.CodeObject.Test While typename(ie)="IWebBrowser2": WScript.Sleep 50: Wend If (sc.Error.Number<>0) Then MsgBox "Error: " & sc.Error.Number Per the comments at http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.scripting.scriptlets/browse_frm/thread/45eac3a76f9b6117/ I have tried all six permutations of the 3 statements before the sc.CodeObject.Test line Also, I got the same results whether using sc.CodeObject.Test, sc.Run "Test", sc.Eval "Test", or sc.ExecuteStatement "Test" Q2. All the examples on the web show sc.State=connected. What is the proper way to reference that constant (since in my .vbs file it is undefined)? Unfortunately, I couldn't figure out the answer from the following web site: http://bratbaecker.de/vee/activ/msscript_ocx.htm PS. I'm including the second group since Alex Angelopoulos (as a followup to his April 10 posting) may wish to know that at the bottom of the second page of the following 2003 thread there is an unelaborated comment saying that the script control can't be passed around. http://www.powerbasic.com/support/forums/Forum6/HTML/002834.html http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.windows.server.scripting/browse_frm/thread/2c6bcef4194c7a9f/ Tag: Script to know default printer Tag: 192070

    - using external commands in a vbs file I am a beginner. I need to pull users' distinguished names and manager fields from active directory for an entire ou (our admin OU) and store it in a delimited file, both pieces of info in a single line. I a adept with DSquery.exe, dsget.exe, etc and see no need to reinvent the wheel. Can I use these external commands in a vbscript? Or do I need to continue to dig to find the native command to pull the info using vb script? I'd kinda like to hear that it is possible to use external commands in a vbs file AND see code to o it natively in VBS. Also it seems terribly difficult to find a single resource showing 100% of the vbscript classes and functions? Right now I'd give $500 to find a web resource with all that.

    - Folder operations fail - how to release lock on folder? I have some VBA code in Access 2003 that trys to move and delete folders from My Documents. Seems like Access or the Scripting Runtime isn't letting go of the folder. The code is pretty straight-forward: Dim fso As Scripting.FileSystemObject Set fso = New FileSystemObject fso.MoveFolder strSource, strDestinationFolder ****Error Number 70: Permission denied <<===*** strSource is a folder in MyDocuments, and strDestinationFolder is a subdirectory in MyDocuments. If I reverse the source and destination - that is, copy from the subdirectory to MyDocuments - it works fine. Is there some way to force everything to let go of a directory - like a force release before deleting or something? I've tried this as a work around: Set fldr = fso.GetFolder(strSource) If fldr.SubFolders.Count = 0 Then strDestinationFolder = strLDF & "\" & strNewFolderName fso.CreateFolder strDestinationFolder For Each varFile In fldr.Files strSourceFile = CStr(varFile) strDestinationFile = strDestinationFolder & "\" & _ fso.GetFileName(strSourceFile) If bytDocOpt = 1 Then 'move fso.MoveFile strSourceFile, strDestinationFile ElseIf bytDocOpt = 2 Then 'copy fso.CopyFile strSourceFile, strDestinationFile End If Next DoEvents Set fldr = Nothing If bytDocOpt = 1 Then fso.DeleteFolder strSource, True '**==>> THIS FAILS <<==*** End If '**==>> error: "Cannot delete 'foldername': It is being used by another person or program..." End If I'm wondering if I'm running into the same thing with MoveFolder - what could could be keeping a file handle on the folder? Thanks in advance. Tag: Script to know default printer Tag: 192044

    - Return a value to a calling program I'm no programmer, so please forgive if this is a 101 level question... I have a .vbs script that reads a value from the registry and assigns it to a variable. I want to call that script from a program (a t-sql script in sybase to be exact) and have it return the registry value it read to the calling program. Will it do that? Or can I only send the value to a text file or echo it to the screen? Thank you contributors so very much. I've borrowed bits from this forum for a couple years and this is the first time I've had to post.

    - Casting to an array? I just found the source of a lot of my troubles. I have a function that grabs records from the database and returns them as a 2 dimensional array. In my function if recordset was BOF or EOF my function returns False. Later in my code i found i was getting errors because Im trying to treat a bool (False) as an array. I'm just going to change this to either send a custom error, or return an empty 2D array. But for future reference does any one know how to cast something to an Array?

    - Enumerate Domain Controllers in Forest I've been trying to enumerate all domain controllers in a 20 domain forest by using IADsTools, specifically DsGetDCList. It works pretty well, however, some of my 20 domains will not return any results 25% of the time when queried. My DNS & WINS entries look perfect for all domains, I'm not sure why this is happening. Is there an issue with using domain.com for both the servername and domainname? Below is a sample of my script: Group01="CN=Domain Admins,CN=Users,DC=domain1,DC=com" Set DLL=CreateObject("IADsTools.DCFunctions") z = 0 Result01=DLL.DsGetDCList("domain1.com", "domain1.com") for a=1 to Result01 z = z + 1 wscript.echo "domain1.com,,"&DLL.DCListEntryNetBiosName(a) Next Due to issues with the above script, I was thinking about querying each domain controller group vs. the above method, but I've been unsuccessful in this method even getting off the ground. Below is a sample of said script: Group01="CN=Domain Admins,CN=Users,DC=domain1,DC=com" Set objGroup = GetObject ("LDAP://"&Group01) For each objMember in objGroup.Members wscript.echo "domain1.com,,"&objMember.sAMAccountName Next wscript.quit Can anyone shed some light on why the 1st script would fail 'sometimes' and the 2nd script to not work at all (wrong attribute, perhaps)?

    - Dim / Redim oddity I have weird array here defining an array size. Originally I defined "aryDiffFields" without a size. I started getting type mismatches so I changed it so it does Dim aryDiffFields(0). In the code I have a loop which does a REDIM PRESERVE ary..(i). I know that the counter is working because I can see it increasing in my debug output. However when I Ubound the array at the end, the size is always equal to what ever I put in the original Dim. ie: Dim aryDiffFields(3) i get 4 results back, even if there should be more. It is as if my redim is not doing anything. Below is a snip of a function a made that compares values of an array between two classes which act in a similar way to a scripting.dictionary. What the code is supposed to do, is compare the two arrays. If a field does not match in the array, it adds that field name to a temporary array called aryDiffFields to be returned to wherever it was called from. Dim i Dim strFieldName Dim strTableType Dim aryDiffFields(3) strTableType = Ucase(cdcOne.TableType) For i = 0 To cdcOne.Count strFieldName = cdcOne.GetFieldName(i) Select Case strTableType Case "IMF" If NOT cdcOne.imfGet(strFieldName) = cdcTwo.imfGet(strFieldName) Then addDebug("CDC -> (" & i & ") Values for '" & strFieldName & "' differ.") ReDim PRESERVE aryDiffFields(i) aryDiffFields(i) = strFieldName Else addDebug("compCDC -> (" & i +1 & ") Values for '" & strFieldName & "' match.")

    - Releasing Field References Early I am using field reference variables with the ADO recordset. I want to throw away the recordset early and do something more. So should i set the field reference variables to nothing before releasing the recordset or releasing the recordset will already release the fields correctly?

Thanks Sub Something() Dim rs Set rs = con.Execute(..) Set fld1 = rs("field1") Set fld2 = rs("field2") ' ' Do stuff ' ' Should i set fld1, fld2 to Nothing ' or the fields will be released when the recordset released? rs.Close Set rs = Nothing ' ' Do more stuff ' End Sub Tag: Script to know default printer Tag: 192013
