    - problems with activex object taking the top focus when creating a Hi, I`m trying to develop a menu system for one of my apps, the problem lies in the fact that there is a graphing activex control on every page. Normally I would just create a menu using divs. But the activex object always takes the top focus and the index-z properties have no effect. After a bit of looking around I found that it's not possible to change the properties of an object in that way. So I thought I could use window.createpopup to create multi windows for the menus. So far though I can only seem to keep one window on the screen at once. Again after some reading it seems that once you move away from the popup the popup disappears automatically. I`m trying to write a heriachal menu system where the previous options stays as you navigate across, (the same as the microsoft menu system). Anybody else having / had this problem or know of a way around this? I`m using vbscript for the client side of things. thanks. Scot. Tag: regular expression help Tag: 159515

    - Getting version of Microsoft.XMLHTTP object prior to ADOB.Stream?

If the version on the server is newer than what I have in my folder, then I want it to go ahead and download it. I've had no luck in finding any information on how to pull the XMLHTTP object version. Anyone have any ideas and know what the correct properties/methods are to get such information? Rob Tag: regular expression help Tag: 159502

    - Commas in the CN name I am using scripts to create user logins in AD with Windows 2003 domain controllers. When I try to create a user with the CN name being something like "Blow, Joe" my script chokes. I can create a login with a CN name of "Blow Joe", with a space, but not a comma. I get the rror message "Active Directory: An invalid Active Directory pathname was passed." Same problem when I try to read a specific CN that has a comma in it with a script. The script chokes. However, if you create a login using the utility Active Directory Users and Computers, by default the CN name is created in the form of "Blow, Joe." Also you can go in on the gui and manually change the CN name to contain a comma. Any suggestions on how to create a CN name with scripting? Tag: regular expression help Tag: 159500

    - Killing a Shelled Oracle SQLPlus Process I have a VBS script running as a scheduled task once a minute on a Win2K server which connects to a database (populated from an intranet site) and checks for new jobs to run in Oracle SQLPlus. My job table looks like this: JOB PROCESSED SUBMITTED_BY ============================================= interface1.sql Y user1 interface1.sql Y user2 interface2.sql Y user2 interface1.sql N user1 The idea is that if an outstanding job is found (PROCESSED = N) then the script processes it by running the following function and passing the name of the JOB (SQL file) to it. Function processRequest(jobName) Dim wshShell On Error Resume Next Set wshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell") wshShell.Run "SQLPLUS user/password@database @" & _ jobName, 0, True Set wshShell = Nothing If err.number = 0 Then processRequest = True Else processRequest = False End If On Error Goto 0 End Function After the job is processed (usually 2 or 3 seconds) the job is flagged as process and the user is sent an email. This all works fine. HOWEVER! The problem I have with it, is that if I pass it a Job that doesn't exist or is full of crap (for testing) I get two process that sit there doing nothing (WScript and SQLPLUS.EXE) and the whole script stops. The WScript process gets killed after 1 minute by the task scheduler automatically, but the SQLPLUS.EXE process never gets killed unless I go in and kill it manually. I am therefore trying to find a way to avoid this so that the script can manage itself. Does anyone have any suggestions on how this could be done? Or is there anyway I can monitor SQLPlus to see if its stopped, or force it to close? TIA, Colin Tag: regular expression help Tag: 159488

    - How to automate data input to Word template with VBScript Can someone tell me how to use VBScript to populate a word document with data automatically?

I've sucessfully used the Doc.Bookmark object to get data from the user via Input boxes and populate a Word template, but popping up windows with each contract item and asking the user yes/no if they want to include it would be messy.

    - Parsing MSSecure.xml for a child node when the parent node is known, using vbscript Ok, I'm parsing a shavlik output xml file (using HFNETCHK), which lists a series of hotfixes that are not installed on a PC. I can successfully read nodes/values from this XML file with no problems. I am attempting to cross-reference two values from the output xml file - as my script parses the output xml, it finds out a) missing bulletin IDs b) hotfix exe for each bulletin ID In my function that is called when each missing patch is parsed, I wish to pull information from mssecure.xml using those two parameters as identifying selectors(?). The end result is that I want to find out the patchlocationID from mssecure.xml for that appropriate bulletin ID where it matches the patchname (hotfix exe). So, for example, my input parameters might be (BulletinID) MS02-055, and (PatchName) Q323255_WXP_SP2_x86_ENU.exe. I can get my script to select the appropriate bulletin ID node from the mssecure.xml file, but I can't seem to get it to bring me the values of certain child nodes and their attributes. There are about 2 or 3 total patch nodes that appear under Bulletin, but this is the one that I want it to find and return "PatchLocationID" for.

    - Success creating remote folders... now I want to share the folders Hello, I've looked through previous posts and I've seem lots of discussion regarding remotely creating folders... that's not the problem, I can create them no problem but my question is how do I share the newly created folders??? Here's a snip of the code... 1. Dim computerName = "oaw1" 2. Dim folderName = "Scenarios" 3. Dim shareName = "Scenarios" 4. ' I suppose I could just use one of the two variables twice in line 14. 5. const FILE_SHARE = 0 6. 7. Set FSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") 8. If Not FSO.FolderExists("\\" & computerName & "\c$\" & folderName) Then 9. FSO.CreateFolder("\\" & computerName & "\c$\" & folderName) 10. End If 11. 12. Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & computerName & "\root\cimv2") 13. Set objNewShare = objWMIService.Get("Win32_Share") 14. makeShare = objNewShare.Create (folderName, shareName, FILE_SHARE, , "Test Comments") I'm good through line 10. I don't get any errors at all from this script but when I go to the remote computer (oaw1), right click on the newly created "Scenarios" folder, and select the Sharing tab from the properties, the folder is not set to be shared. Any suggestions on how to get the remote folders shared from this script would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, --CW Tag: regular expression help Tag: 159430

    - Evaluate as Variable versus String? Hey gang, I am probably missing something basic. I have a bunch of arrays in one of my ASP scripts, and I need to construct the reference to the variable through some string contatenations. Example: - one of my variables is 'strQ1a(13)' and earlier in the script I assign a value. - I construct the name of this variable through code like response.write="str" & myQuestionNumber & "(" & myrs.fields("value") & ")" - VBScript just evaluates this as a string and rather than displaying the value of variable strQ1a(13), it justs displays "strQ1a(13)" How can I get it to look at this as a variable and get the name?

Hi all, I am trying to find a regular expression that does the following:-

Sample Strings:

1. "/somefolder"
2. "/specific_folder/aaaa"
3. "/myfolder/bbbb"

I would like to match everything after the first "/" for all strings except
#2. i.e. for all cases except when it starts with "specific_folder". Any
ideas? Right now what I have for my regular expression is "/(.*)". But that
captures everything.

TIA!

.Pattern = "^/(?!specific_folder/)(.*)"
