    - Rename file extension Hello all, I need help to rename a file extension using the VBScript. I am relatively new to this and have put this much together so far: strComputer = "." Set objWMIService = GetObject _ ("winmgmts:" & "!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2") Set colFiles = objWMIService.ExecQuery _ ("Select * from Cim_Datafile where Name = " _ & "'D:\\test\\test.txt'") For Each objFile in colFiles errResult = objFile.Rename("D:\test\test." & FormatdateTime(Now(),"ddhh")") Wscript.Echo errResult Next I need the file extension to be in the format test.ddhh complete with the two digit day and hour. Any help is appreciated. Thanks! JV Tag: Unloading and reloading Powerpoint Help Tag: 187728

    - Need help with another commandline argument I want to be able to close a running application like notepad.exe using vbscript (the simplest way I've found so far) using the test.bat batch file. The below test.vbs file is what I've come up with so far for testing. Test.vbs gets the notepad.exe as an argument, but i haven't found a way to get it to be successful in the script to close a running notepad.exe. If I substitute notepad.exe for the xxx down in the script, then the test.vbs will close the running notepad.exe. Any suggestions on getting it to work? Thanks! ========test.vbs======= Set objArgs = WScript.Arguments if objargs.count <> 1 then wscript.echo "expected a command-line argument" wscript.quit end if xxx = objArgs(0) wscript.echo "xxx" Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _ & "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" _ & "." & "\root\cimv2") Set colProcess = objWMIService.ExecQuery _ ("Select * from Win32_Process Where Name = " & "'xxx'" ) For Each objProcess in colProcess objProcess.Terminate() next wscript.quit =======test.bat=========. @echo off test.vbs notepad.exe Tag: Unloading and reloading Powerpoint Help Tag: 187726

    - Frames and Window Resizing I have an HTML page which has two frames on it - Header and Body are the frame names. Is it possible to resize the window containing the html frames when the ASP page being displayed in the Body frame is loaded and reloaded? I guess what I am asking is how do I reference to the window containing the HTML page from one of the pages being displayed in one of the frames. If this can be done, can anyone supply some code segments for me to achieve this? Paul Smith Tag: Unloading and reloading Powerpoint Help Tag: 187723

    - Incidental Factiod: pertaining to ConnectObject/GetRef in Class Code A year ago, I posted a question/complaint about the apparent lack of support for "ConnectObject" or "GetRef" in class code. I had been attempting to instantiate a class from within an actX object and then connect with events fired by that class (not the actX object itself). This works well enough in "main line" vbs code, but not (as best I can tell) in class code. I recently tried to do the same thing, and failed again (groan!). I even searched this ng, and found my previous disgruntled posting. Then I remembered something, i.e., that you can refer to the current instance of class code as "Me", within the class. It occurred to me that "Me" might be equivalent (or even identical to) "GetRef". A "GetRef" gives you an object whose default member calls the routine which you specify. Likewise, if "Me" is a reference to the current instance, then if one refers to "Me" in code, then one will also get a call to the default member of "Me". Cut to the chase. This did work the way I expected it would, and I was then able to (in effect) do a "GetRef" in class code. Here is an example (although referring to a proprietary actX (oSCO) which is setting a "CBT Hook" to detect window openings). When it detects a window opening, it will call me back with the information: --- <snip> --- ' set an "ole callback" for the hookproc... Set oSCO.SetCallBack = Me ' reference to the default member of THIS instance ... ' this is "my hookproc" (called from real hookproc embedded in sco)... Public Default Function myHookWndFunc(uMsg, wParam, lParam) ... ' and this is the "real" hookproc located in the actX (oSCO) object. ' it will intercept the hookproc calls and refer them back to script. Public Function GenericHookProc(ByVal ncode As Long, _ ByVal wParam As Long, ByVal lParam As Long) As Long Dim oCallBack As Object Set oCallBack = m_oCallBack ' the ole callback GenericHookProc = oCallBack(CVar(ncode), CVar(wParam), CVar(lParam)) End Function --- </snip> --- Note: there is no documentation about "Me", other than another obscure ng posting by mikHar, way back in 2000. As an "undocumented- and-unsupported" feature, one might justifiably be cautious about using this, because in the past microsoft has abruptly "corrected" (i.e., removed) other undocumented-and-unsupported features. The "good news" is that it will probably take an "act of congress" for microsoft to ever do any further maintenance or support for vbs, so it is extremely unlikely that "Me" will ever go away anytime in the foreseeable future. cheers, jw Tag: Unloading and reloading Powerpoint Help Tag: 187721

    - Setup.exe Silent intall w/.ISS not working I am a novice in vbscript. Nonetheless I have an application on all computers I need to be installed with a script on all computers. The following works: Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell") WshShell.Run = "D:\TL06\setup.exe -s -f1D:\TL06\setupNEW.iss", 1 True (-s is to silent install and the -f1 indicates the file location for the response file needed in the silent install.) The problem is the folder has a space, so with the change in folder name the following does NOT work: Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell") WshShell.Run = "D:\TL 06\setup.exe -s -f1D:\TL 06\setupNEW.iss", 1 True I tried adding extra quotes before and after but it does not work. I tried declaring variables for the files but that does not work either. I am missing something? or is it not possible to add arguments to a file who's path has a space in it? The error that comes up is that The system cannot find the specified file. Please help anyone. R D J Tag: Unloading and reloading Powerpoint Help Tag: 187715

    - SQL stored procedures: display both output and recordset I'd like to retrieve both a recordset and the output parameter from a SQL stored procedure. I can do one or the other but not both. The stored procedure itself is a simple query with an input and output parameter. The parameters: oCmd.Parameters.Append oCmd.CreateParameter("@ID", adVarChar, adParamInput, 15 , "9123456") oCmd.Parameters.Append oCmd.CreateParameter("@Return_Code", adVarChar, adParamOutput, 50, "") If I use: oCmd.Execute I can read the output parameter using: wscript.echo oCmd.Parameters("@Return_Code").Value or wscript.echo oCmd.Parameters(1).Value If I use: set rs = oCmd.Execute I can loop through the recordset and correctly display the data. I can't display the output parameter. I tried to use: Set rs = rs.NextRecordset wscript.echo oCmd.Parameters("@Return_Code").Value wscript.echo oCmd.Parameters(1).Value That doesn't work. I then tried to close the recordset: Set rs = rs.NextRecordset rs.close wscript.echo oCmd.Parameters("@Return_Code").Value wscript.echo oCmd.Parameters(1).Value To no avail. I did set nocount in the stored procedure. I can get either the output data or the recordset data so the stored procedure is returning the data to my script. At this point all I want to return is "Hello world" from the stored procedure. I'm new to the world of running stored procedures from vbscript, though I have been running queries for a long time. Any ideas? Swyck Tag: Unloading and reloading Powerpoint Help Tag: 187711

    - RePost: Problem handling Date Comparison in VBScript I had posted the following earlier. However, the help I got did not resolve the problem. I appreciate any advise/help to resolve the following. Thanks in advance. I have a html form with few fields. The fields are claim number, month, day and year. Actually the month, day and year together forms the claim date. There is also a variable named QuarterEndDate which contains the quarter end date value which happens to be 12/31/05. Now, before submitting the form, I need to do some validation check. The first validation (which I cannot get it to work) is that the claim date should be less than the Quarter End Date. The second validation is that there has to be a claim number regardless (which works by itself but does not when the first validation comes up). I would like to know what is the problem with the first validation in the code below? Function frm_Details_OnSubmit validation = TURE Function frm_Details_OnSubmit validation = TURE If DateValue((frm_Details.ExpMonth_0.value) & "/" & (frm_Details.ExpDay_0.value) & "/" & (frm_Details.ExpYear_0.value)) > DateValue(QuarterEndDate) Then Alert("You must enter claim date within the End Quarter Date") document.frm_Details.ExpMonth_0.focus frm_Details_OnSubmit =False ElseIf (frm_Details.ClaimNo_0.value = "") Then Alert("You must enter a value for Claim number.") frm_Details.ClaimNo_0.focus frm_Details_OnSubmit =False Else frm_Details_OnSubmit = True End If End Function Tag: Unloading and reloading Powerpoint Help Tag: 187710

    - ocx permission denied I've updated an ocx (using VB6) that is currently being used in an asp 3.0 application. I created an internet package(using VB6) containing the ocx and corresponding dll's. I then placed both the CAB and support files on my webserver. I also registered the dll's on the web server. I updated my asp script to reflect the new object's classid and version#. When I call the asp page I receive an alert "permission denied" when it calls the ocx. If anyone could provide some feedback on how to overcome this issue I greatly appreciate it. I also created a very simple ocx on my local machine complied and saved to my system32 dir. I tried using it on my local machine in an asp page; when it call the object's method on this com thru a windowonload event I received a prompt "object doesn't support this property or method"?

    - Inconsistemt Results From ADSI We're using a VBScript as a logon script on a Windows 2003,SP1 server. We want to test Group Memberships and are using the sample code from the Server Help as follows: Const RM_205_G = "cn=rm_205_g" Const RM_212_G = "cn=rm_212_g" Const RM_206_G = "cn=rm_206_g" Set wshNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network") wshNetwork.MapNetworkDrive "h:", "\\WS_1\vol1\Users\" & wshNetwork.UserName Set ADSysInfo = CreateObject("ADSystemInfo") Set CurrentUser = GetObject("LDAP://" & ADSysInfo.UserName) strGroups = LCase(Join(CurrentUser.MemberOf)) msgbox(strGroups) If InStr(strGroups, RM_205_G) Then wshNetwork.MapNetworkDrive "j:", "\\10.147.0.2\vol1\shared\rm205g" End If ... and so on. The problem is that the data inserted into strGroups is very inconsistent. For example, with administrator, all applicable groups are displayed in the msgbox command while for almost all other users some group memberships are omitted or no groups are displayed at all. In those cases where group memberships are retrieved properly, the applicable mapping commands complete as expected. We have no other issues with AD. Nothing seems to be broken.

    - Closing down Firefox tab This isn't a VBScript question per se, but this is a pretty clever group, so perhaps someone has an idea. The summary is that I would like to be able to close a specific instance of Firefox, or rather a page thereof, when that page is cooperating to be closed. The scenario is that I want to have FF (Firefox.exe) iterate through a certain sequence of pages. If this was IE, what we'd do is bring up an instance of IE using Set IE=CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application"), and then do IE.Navigate "...". With a little event notification code we're in business, and at the end of the day, if we never made IE visible, everything gets automatically shut down nice and tidy. With FF, you have a nifty add in called GreaseMonkey. The way it works is that for a given piece of javascript code that will be applied, you designate which pages GM (GreaseMonkey) will apply it to. The code itself will be run as soon as the page is loaded but before the onload kicks off. If it wants, this code can submit the page or forms thereof, and in this manner it can sequence through multiple pages. Very nifty. The only problem is that you can't shut down/close the starting page. In the usual situation, this is fine, because the intent behind GM is actually to allow one to modify pages (e.g. remove the ad at the top of a certain page. Moving a button to a more convenient place for another page, and so on). But with its built in power, this little add-in is going places. So I can now make a Firefox app and have an icon such that if I double click it, it will start FF off on a given page.htm file. This file will have a GM script all ready to go, but the problem is that window.close() doesn't work because as far as FF is concerned the window was not opened via script, so at the end, I am left with a useless window. Unfortunately, taskkill doesn't work (for reasons described at http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?p=2091165). Ultimately, I could make an OCX and have it identify the window in question and then have that window terminate, but I am wondering if there is a pure text based solution which is where the VBScript comes in. I should add that I could more or less get .Exec and .Terminate to work, but only if there were no other copies of FF active. Furthermore, FF seems to have precious few startup options. Anyway, it would be great if someone could point out something I might have missed. Csaba Gabor from Vienna Tag: Unloading and reloading Powerpoint Help Tag: 187643

    - Cannot handle date validation. Need help. I have a html form with few fields. The fields are claim number, month, day and year. Actually the month, day and year together forms the claim date. There is also a variable named QuarterEndDate which contains the quarter end date value which happens to be 12/31/05. Now, before submitting the form, I need to do some validation check. The first validation (which I cannot get it to work) is that the claim date should be less than the Quarter End Date. The second validation is that there has to be a claim number regardless (which works by itself but does not when the first validation comes up). I would like to know what is the problem with the first validation in the code below? In VBSCRIPT what is the best way to check what values are we comapring (e.g. we have response.write in asp). I appreciate any help/suggestion on this issue. Regards. Function frm_Details_OnSubmit validation = TURE If ((frm_Details.ExpMonth_0.value) & "/" & (frm_Details.ExpDay_0.value) & "/" & (frm_Details.ExpYear_0.value)) > DateValue(QuarterEndDate) Then Alert("You must enter claim date within the End Quarter Date") document.frm_Details.ExpMonth_0.focus frm_Details_OnSubmit =False ElseIf (frm_Details.ClaimNo_0.value = "") Then Alert("You must enter a value for Claim number.") frm_Details.ClaimNo_0.focus frm_Details_OnSubmit =False Else frm_Details_OnSubmit = True End If End Function Tag: Unloading and reloading Powerpoint Help Tag: 187640

    - CreateObject using different credentials I'm trying to write a script that checks a list of remote computers to see if they need patches installed from Windows Update. I would like to be able to use the Microsoft.Update.Session COM object to do so, since this seems to be the easiest way to accomplish the task. In VBScript, the CreateObject function allows you to create a COM object on a remote computer if you pass it a second parameter with the computer name. I intend to do something like this: --- Set updateObj = CreateObject("Microsoft.Update.Session","remoteComputer") --- The remote computers I will be checking have an alternate domain account that grants me local admin on the box. The domain account I will be running the script from has no access to the remote computers Is it possible to specify this alternate account before or after calling CreateObject? Alternately, is there a way for me to do this through the Microsoft.Update.Session object? I realize that I could perform a Run As on the script, but I won't be able to do that after I've created the skeleton for the script. Tag: Unloading and reloading Powerpoint Help Tag: 187638

    - Getting filenames (selected by date) into a text file Hi, I would like to do a daily backup of some files from a folder, but only the 20 most recent files. I'm using straighforward NTBackup with the "bks" option which allows me to specify a parameter file which I call mybackup.bks. This is a plain text file that contains the paths and name of the files to backup. My idea was to have a vbscript to create a new mybackup.bks on the fly just before the backup started. Mybackup.bks is basically in two parts : **Part 1 is the stuff that never changes, i.e. the C: drive that is backed up every night : C:\ C:\pagefile.sys /Exclude C:\Documents and Settings\Admin.....Windows NT\NTBackup\data\ /Exclude then there's the data on D: where I have a software project. **Part 2 changes every day, because we make hard drive copies of our data and new software versions twice a day to a folder on D: named "Project Copies". That folder contains two folders per day. I want to back up all of C: then only the 20 latest (i.e most recent) files from the "Project Copies" folder. My idea was that the script should start by assigning all of the text of Part1 into a variable, MyPart1. Then read through the Project Copies folder and pick up all the filenames (into a temp file ?) and get them sorted (descending by date) and then assign the 20 latest (i.e most recent) paths and filenames to another variable, MyPart2. Then write the two variables MyPart1 and MyPart2 to Mybackup.bks. Then run the bat file that runs the NTBackup.exe with the Mybackup.bks fileset. Anyone there willing to give me a hand with that ?
