    - Get First Node.text in Array I have an .xml file and can enumerate all the values I need, however I only need to return the first Value. strValue returns the correct string value but also all the other values in the Array, how do I just get the first value rather than all values? Below is my code: '**************************** ' Retrieve array of Node's Set xmlRoot = xmlDoc.documentElement Set nodelistID = xmlDoc.SelectNodes("SecScan/Check/Advice") for each node in nodelistID strTest = trim(node.text) wscript.echo strTest next '******************************* Thanks!

    - Closing a variable I have heard a lot of conflicting reports/advice and was wondering if someone could finally put a question to rest for me. I am programming .asp (vbscript) pages with IIS 6.0. My question is if I declare a variable within a .asp page, how or when is it destoryed (cleared from memory)? Does IIS 6.0 automatically destory it when the page closes out? Do I need to manually close/destory it (Set somevariable=Nothing)? I have heard that if you do not manually close out each variable you declare, then you can create a memory leak within IIS 6.0...which would be bad. Though on the flip side I have heard that when you simply browse away from a page, IIS 6.0 will automatically close the variables for you? If in fact you do need to manually close out each variable you declare, is there a debugging tool available that I could use to check my programming to make I didn't forget to close out any variables? I have searched around the net and have found nothing for .asp (vbscript) pages. Thank you in advance you for advice!! Tag: How to check client printer status Tag: 191283

    - Any Help to get me started would be appreciated..... Hi; I have virtually no Web or HTML programming experience though I am capable of VB, Basic and and a few other programming languages. What I was trying to get some help on would be a simple program or script that I could run that would allow me to retrieve info from a site that when I have multiple queries. For example I am at site GoJoe.com (example only) and if I want to get the detail data on recipe xyz i have to put in a field xyz and when the page refreshes I then select "get detail recipe" link which then asks me if I want to save the text file to my pc. Which I respond yes to and then it saves. This is great but the problem is if I have 20 or 30 reciepies I have to go through this loop for every one. I there a simple script that I could get to read a txt file that would have the recipes already loaded in like (xyz, abc, mno, etc....) that would read the recipe, then go to the address that I would have gone to when I click "get detail recipe", have it pull the detail information and save it automatically to my PC. Complete this until the txt file runs to it's end. Sounds relatively simple it's just I don't have the Web develop skills for the code. Can anyone offer some starter help with this? I'm sure I could debug things once I got started. Thanks in advance for any help. Dave Tag: How to check client printer status Tag: 191278

    - XML extraction My question is probably fairly easy to answer, but I've searched the groups and haven't found anything that is close to what I'm looking for. It's probably because I don't know what to search on which isn't unusual. Here is an extract of data from an XML file that I'm working with. <vocabulary> <term id="K442490" parentid="K352208"> <synonyms language="EN-GB"> <synonym string="St Marks Church-in-the-Bowery" preferred="YES"/> <synonym string="church-in-the-bowery"/> <synonym string="church-on-the-bowery"/> <synonym string="saint mark;s church in the bowery"/> <synonym string="saint mark;s on the bowery"/> <synonym string="st marks"/> <synonym string="st marks church on the bowery"/> <synonym string="st marks-on-the-bowery"/> <synonym string="st. marks-on-the-bowery"/> </synonyms> <synonyms language="EN-US"> <synonym string="St Marks Church-in-the-Bowery" preferred="YES"/> <synonym string="church-in-the-bowery"/> <synonym string="church-on-the-bowery"/> <synonym string="saint marks church in the bowery"/> <synonym string="saint marks on the bowery"/> <synonym string="st marks"/> <synonym string="st marks church on the bowery"/> <synonym string="st marks-on-the-bowery"/> <synonym string="st. marks-on-the-bowery"/> </synonyms> </term> </vocabulary> What I'm trying to do is search another recordset for the K#### and replace it with the "preferred" EN-US string. I can get the first recordset broken out the way I need it, but what I can't figure out is how to pull the two pieces of info from this XML file and have them searchable. There are about 80k terms that will need to be broken out. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Tag: How to check client printer status Tag: 191269

    - SendKeys "{Move 107,672}" ??? In the documentation for Dragon NaturallySpeaking Professional, there is this example for SendKeys. SendKeys "{Move 107,672}" I simply cannot get the Move command to work. Is there any way to neatly move the cursor using SendKeys? I have a workaround using UpLeft since the user interface isn't bothered by a mouse button up, but I'm really curious about the apparently dysfunctional but included Move command. Thank you.

    - Missing home dir when account created by vbscript When I create an account using vbscript I also create the home dir for the user and populate the homeDir properties of the account. There are no errors creating the directory and there are no errors populating the homeDir property of the account. Using Active Directory Users and Computer (ADUC) I can see that the account was created and that the home dir was set properly. Checking the drive for the dir reveals it is created and the rights are assigned correctly. The problem is at login. When you login with one of these accounts the user does not get a mapping to their home dir. Yet if they use the run cmd they can open the dir and utilize it. We suspect it has something to do with what gets input to the homeDir property but I'm unable to determine that there is anything wrong with it. Interestingly if I modify the home dir property in ADUC (so the apply button becomes active) and then switch it back to what was there then click apply, when the user logs in their home dir appears correctly for them. Any ideas? Tag: How to check client printer status Tag: 191260

    - Filtering via OU Hi folks, Quick question. I wish to do a search on a whole domain, but I wish to exclude specific domains. My current search is this: ' Retrieve lastLogon attribute for each user on each Domain Controller. For k = 0 To Ubound(arrstrDCs) strBase = "<LDAP://" & arrstrDCs(k) & "/" & strDNSDomain & ">" strFilter = "(&(objectCategory=person)(objectClass=user))" strAttributes = "distinguishedName,lastLogon,description" strQuery = strBase & ";" & strFilter & ";" & strAttributes & ";subtree (thanks to Richard Mueller for large bits of the script) Basically, I wish to exclude say two OUs called OU=disabled users,DC=domain,DC=com & OU=resource accounts,OU=users,DC=domain,DC=com - how is this done? I can get a filter using "memberof", but that is member of a group rather than a member of a OU sadly. Thanks in advance! Rich Tag: How to check client printer status Tag: 191256

    - Editing txt file. Hi! Here's what I need to do: I have a text file of 141 lines which contains data considering web-application. In line 5 of the txt-file, the username is introduced. Now I would need a script, which would ask me the username, and then the script would modify the Username section, in the line 5 of the text-file. So basicly I would need a "Username" -variable. The value of "Username" would be entered by a user, and then the script should input the value to the text file. Do you have any ideas which would be an easy way to accomplish this? It seems that FileSystemObject cannot modify text-files, is that right? Thanks in advance, Henri Tag: How to check client printer status Tag: 191245

    - Newbie scripting. Modifying the registry. I have been assigning nic speeds for a couple years on all new boxes that we build in our datacenters manually. I finally got fed up and picked up some vbscript books which have been a great help managing some redunant tasks i must do, but this one stumps me. Key Name: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E972-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002bE10318} Under each subkey there is a string value of "SpeedDuplex" with a value ranging from 0+ 100/full is 4 auto/auto is 0 If the device is not a physical hardware nic, it will not have the SpeedDuplex Key, which is a plus for finding real devices vs virtual/software ones. What I am trying to do is run through each subkey and its strings and change any that have a string of "SpeedDuplex" with a value of 0 to 4. Im not sure about how to loop through all the keys to do this. Any help would be appreciated. Thx C Tag: How to check client printer status Tag: 191234

My question is what is the point of the strComputer = "." line? Or rather the "." on that line.

However, it doesn't work that way. I've tried other scripts like the reboot script that don't work either. If all the script apply to the local machine anyway, why do we need the strComputer = "." line? Can anyone update me as I appear to be misinformed? --------- strComputer = "."

    - Receiving error when adding IP printer. A little background: I support about 20 retail locations that all are set up with IP printing. One of the biggest pains in providing support is having to go into each machine and manually enter a port and load the printer drivers. So, I decided I wanted to play around with a script to automate the process. I found the script online to do this.. or so I thought. The script works great when I am adding a printer that has the necessary drivers loaded to it... it's only when I try to tell it to load a driver, that it fails with: Error: Generic Failure Code: 80041001 Source: SWbemObjectEx The error points to a line in the script that actually adds the printer... but I have a feeling the driver is not loading properly. Here's part of the code: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- '*** INSTALL DRIVER **************************************************** Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _ & "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2") objWMIService.Security_.Privileges.AddAsString "SeLoadDriverPrivilege", True Set objDriver = objWMIService.Get("Win32_PrinterDriver") objDriver.Name = driver_name objDriver.SupportedPlatform = "Windows NT x86" objDriver.Version = "3" 'objDriverPath = dll_path objInfname = inf_path intResult = objDriver.AddPrinterDriver(objDriver) wscript.echo intResult '*** ADD PRINTER ***************************************** Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _ & "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2") Set objPrinter = objWMIService.Get("Win32_Printer").SpawnInstance_ objPrinter.DriverName = driver_name objPrinter.PortName = "IP_" & port_ip objPrinter.DeviceID = printer_name objPrinter.Network = True objPrinter.Shared = False objPrinter.Put_ If print_default = "Y" then objPrinter.SetDefaultPrinter() End if -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I've checked the paths to the .inf and .dll a hundred times. I've searche on the internet and found several people with the same problem but no real solutions. Anyone have any ideas? Tag: How to check client printer status Tag: 191173

    - Accessing Crypto API via vbscript Hi, I am trying to find out a way of accessing Windows Crypto API within vbscript so that I can compute a hash of a string and encrypt\decrypt some information.

    - Desktop icons Hi, I am looking at desktop icons and want to delete only icons that meet a criteria of having a specific value in the "Start in" property. Currently, I'm only looking to display those names that meet this requirement, but I've come across a roadblock. I can't even figure out how to extract that property or even if it's possible. I have the following code: Const ALL_USERS_DESKTOP = &H19& Set objApp = CreateObject("Shell.Application") Set objShell = Wscript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell") Set objFolder = objApp.Namespace(ALL_USERS_DESKTOP) Set objFolderItem = objFolder.Self Wscript.Echo objFolderItem.Path Set colItems = objFolder.Items For Each objItem In colItems sResult = sResult & " " & objItem.TargetPath & vbCrLf Next wScript.Echo sResult Does anyone have a suggestion?

    - Stripping out nested quotes I have a script that processes a csv file using the filesystemobject method - at the moment, I'm reading in a csv, doing a replace function on certain specific characters, then writing the result back to another file. However, I have a problem in that the csv uses quotes as text delimiters, and some fields contain nested quotes - which I need to strip out. The nested quotes are not necessarily at the beginning and end of the strings (such as ""NAME"") - in theory, they could be anywhere (e.g. "NA"ME"). Obviously each field is separated by a comma, and starts and ends with a quote, which is all as expected - I just need to strip out any other quotes within the fields. Does anyone have a script that would do this? Tag: How to check client printer status Tag: 191151

The problem is that the files on hard disk will have the ReadOnly flag set. I tryed the following code (recursive to run on subfolders too), but it don't work. I call it with WSCRIPT. Can someone help me ? Thank You very much. Alberto.

Hi

I need to create a web page that checks the client printer status. Also I
need to print text messages through the printer without showing the page
setup window.

Is this possible?

Any code examples?

What security options do I have to enable to make this work?
