 - Date confusion Hi, I am developing a webpage in conjunction with MS access. I use dates as a primary attribute to search for data. However, on somedays the program will work with the date format mm/dd/yyyy and other times it is dd/mm/yyyy and sometimes it will work with both. When it works with both this causes the most confusion. In some parts of the program the application will work with the mm/dd/yyyy format and some other parts with dd/mm/yyyy. However other parts of the program will crash because it is of the wrong format. My question is... Is there some way of making it conssitent throughout the application? My regional settings is set to Australia. Thanks in Advance Tag: VBS, WSH scripting authoring tools Tag: 177897

 - Scriptomatic 2 fails @ line 452 I'm running Windows XP/SP2 and when I run Scriptomatic 2.0 and select an WMI_Class, I get a script error on line 452 where it's trying to create an "WScript.Network" object. This works fine if I issue the same commands from an VBS file. Do I need to do something special to make HTA's work on my PC? I disabled my antivirus software just in case (wasn't getting an error there), tried changing my security level for local intranets to LOW, nothing seems to work. The program works just fine under Win2k. Tag: VBS, WSH scripting authoring tools Tag: 177888

 - Domain information through vbs Good afternoon, Here is what I would like to achieve but do not know how! I would like to create a script that 1- run dos command "net group GROUPNAME /domain" and write it to a textfile 2- Using the textfile of users, run the dos command "net user USERNAME /domain" (using 1 by 1 the user from the textfile in 1) and write it to another textfile 3- Go through the textfile created in 2 and validate certain parameter such as "logon script". Can someone run me through this or point me to a web site that can provide me with the basics on how I can do this type of script. One of my main problem is how I can use the text file created in 1 in 2 since it is output in a tabular format (3 columns) and vbs will read it 1 line at a time. How can I transform the dos output into a valid format to use in 2? Thank you for any help! Daniel Tag: VBS, WSH scripting authoring tools Tag: 177886

 - Capture screen output of Telnet using vbscript Is there any way to capture the screen output of a telnet session to a text file? Code to do it would be very much appreciated as I'm on a short time limit. However, an explaination of how to do it will also suffice. I currently use a 3rd party program to do this however I am trying to accomplish this task with only what Windows 2000 Professional comes with (including WSH 5.6). I have tried to do this with batch files but was unable to do so. I wrote vbscript to send commands to telnet but can't find a way to capture the screen output to a text file.

 - Writing xml.ResponseText to file Hello, I'm having some problems writing out xml.ResponseText to a text file. I can send it to a web browser using Response.Write, but I can not write it out to a text file. It's not a permissions issue, the file gets created without a problem and if you write a line of plain text to the file, it works perfectly. I tried casting xml.ResponseText to a string, but that did not work either. Is there anyway I can do this? <% Const ForWriting = 2 Set FSO = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") Set xml = Server.CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP") xml.Open "GET", "http://xxxx", False xml.Send set tfile=FSO.CreateTextFile("c:/pathtofile.asp", true) 'response.write xml.ResponseText <--- Works 'tfile.WriteLine "Hello World" <---- Works tfile.WriteLine(test) tfile.close set fso = nothing %> Tag: VBS, WSH scripting authoring tools Tag: 177862

Here is a snip of my code, extract = Replace(extract, "href", "") for example here is what the browser sees, href="javascript:show('1','http://server/page.asp=FDR2dmwjDE%3Byt2q%26FDT7w% 7Cq612d4 but I want it to look like " " instead after the 'href' is a long string that is dynamically changed each time the page is viewed, how can I use Replace to remove anything following the 'href' but nothing below that line of code?

 - Compare text files for duplicates Hi. I have two text files that are actually exports of user and computers accounts from two domains. I would like to be able to compare the two files for duplicate names and spit out a "report" of the unique names and duplicate names. Of course, I can't do a line-by-line comparison because the files don't match up that way. It is more of a comparison of the entire contents of the files. Maybe logparser would do this? Thanks!

 - Running a script using VB6 ScriptControl First I apoligize for cross posting this also on the vb.controls newsgroup, I just wasn't quite sure which group would be better suited to handle my question... I'm running a script (set up as a string) internal in my VB6 program and feeding it into the MS ScriptControl. All works well except that I need the script to "sleep" for a few seconds. If I wrote the script as a standard .vbs script file outside of VB I would add a line like this - WScript.Sleep(3000) - With the WScript object being the intrinsic built in object of the scripting engine. However, adding that line to my script string in the VB6 program throws rt error 424 "Object Required: WScript". So it seems the intrinsic object WScript is not recognized when you run a script using the VB ScriptControl. Anybody know how to get around this problem so that the WScript object can be used, or at least how to make the script "Sleep" TIA Ron Tag: VBS, WSH scripting authoring tools Tag: 177815

 - Error Handling Good morning, I have the following script (feel free to improve/comments so I can learn).

 - What does this permission indicate... I run a vbs script on several machines. All has worked except for one machine. The script essentially performs a backup via WinZip and places the result in a shared folder. When I then try to copy the script from the master station, this one workstation gives me an 'access denied' message. I am running as administrator on all machines. By the way, I'm running XP Home /SP2 with Norton AV , and I run SptBot-Search & Destroy. No indicated problems. I looked at the permissions on the shared folder and I noticed something on this workstation that I have never seen on the other workstations on our private lan: NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE:(special access:) DELETE SYNCHRONIZE FILE_READ_DATA If I remove file sharing on this folder and then re-apply file sharing, this entry disappears (and my network copy works fine). Furthermore, if I go into safe-mode and look at the permissions, it says that this item is an 'unknown user'. What is Win XP trying to tell me? I have never seen this type of permission before.

 - getting script to paste text into Word AND to trigger AutoOpen macro I have an .htm file, which is run from a button I installed on the Internet Explorer shortcut menu, which contains Windows script that does the following: 1. copies the selected text on the current web page and assigns the url of the web page to a variable; 2. opens a special Word document created for this purpose; 3. pastes the selection and inserts the url into the Word document. However, I also have an AutoOpen macro in the Word document which is intended to perform further steps on the pasted material. The problem is that the actions initiated by the script, such as the pasting of the text, seem to prevent the AutoOpen macro from running. Here's my question: Is it possible both to have the script open the Word document and paste stuff into it, AND to have an AutoOpen macro proceed to do further actions on the pasted text? If not, is there some other way that the script could automatically run a macro in the Word document? Thanks, Larry Tag: VBS, WSH scripting authoring tools Tag: 177781

 - WshController error Hello all, I've been doing some research on WshController, and I read recently that one hang up that WshController has is that it can't be used with UI. I'm trying to execute a vbscript that uses WshController from a jsp page. According to an article I read it says: "the script passed to the WshController object's CreateScript method doesn't interact with the UI. In other words, you need to avoid using WScript.Echo, STDIO, WshShell::Popup, MsgBox, InputBox, and other UI functions in the script that the target remote computer will run." Is this true? Has anyone been able to interact with WshController from a jsp? Tag: VBS, WSH scripting authoring tools Tag: 177776

 - How to create a variable of type Long Hi, VBScript has a lot of predefined constants with predefined data types. For example, vbYellow is type long and has the value &h00FFFF (65535). How can I create constant myYellow of type long, given a hex string of the format &h00FFFF? The following obviously doesn't work: --- const myYellow = &h00FFFF MsgBox "(vbYellow = &h00FFFF) is " & (vbYellow = &h00FFFF) & vbCrLf & _ "(vbYellow = 65535) is " & (vbYellow = 65535) & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & _ "(myYellow = &h00FFFF) is " & (myYellow = &h00FFFF) & vbCrLf & _ "(myYellow = 65535) is " & (myYellow = 65535) --- The script gives me: (vbYellow = &h00FFFF) is False (vbYellow = 65535) is True (myYellow = &h00FFFF) is True (myYellow = 65535) is False Thanks, -Paul Randall Tag: VBS, WSH scripting authoring tools Tag: 177775

 - How to get usable screen size (maybe WMI?) Hi all, I am trying to determine the usable screen size of desktop computers. I found WMI classes that would return the desktop resolution BUT I need: [screen height] - [taskbar height] = [usable screen size] Is there a way to determine if the auto-hide is enabled? Can I determine the height of the taskbar? I use the "Win32_DesktopMonitor" WMI class at the moment but this only returns the set screen resolution. Any idea on how to do this via WMI or maybe read values out of the registry. I looked into some TechNet articles but I didn't find anything helpful yet.

 - Newbie - How to fill forms without a button click Hi, 1. Automatically filling in a form from a database. When the user logs in, it should take the user to something like the Registration page and automatically fill in the fields from a database. I know to do document.Register.FirstName.value = "Hello World" but I need to fill in the fields before a button is pressed. I am not sure how I can fill in the fields before a button is pressed? Perhaps somehow getting a message from the login.asp page that clicks the button? P.S. I just started monkeying around with ASP pages. I am not sure what the difference is between VBScript, JavaScript, C#, XML. I noticed in a tutorial that VBScript is not supported in all browsers. Does that go for JavaScript? Is C# supposed to be better than Java or VB? Thanks, -- Christopher J.

Hello:

We are currently looking for some of the top tools to do VBS and/or WSH
scripting. Basically we are looking for authoring tools that have
pre-defined functions, that are gui-based, for easy ability to create
logon scripts, etc. So far we only know of Microsoft's own free tools
(Scriptomatic, Tweakomatic), and we are looking for something a little
better (commercial products are fine).

Can anybody suggest some of the top tools that are out there now?

Thanks a lot for all feedback...
