    - Advice for Someone New to Scripting Hi All, I am reasonably competant (or maybe reasonable incompetant) at using VBA and want to create a few small VBS files. I am getting a bit stuck on the real basics about:- 1) is the Microsoft Script Debugger the best debugging tool for visual basic script files - if it is, why does it not include .vbs as one of the save options 2) How would I debug the following code - as when I open it in the microsoft script debugger all the text is blue and I can't run the code?

    - CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application") Takes focus! When I write a script with the line Set oIE = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application") The newly created Internet Explorer App takes the keyboard and mouse focus away from the active application. Since this script runs in the background while the user is working, its is really annoying to the users and they usually have to stop working until the script finishes. Is there any way to do this without stealing the focus? Tag: How do I get stdio in a string vairable from call to Exec? Tag: 176539

    - Compare the values of two sorted arrays of variable size. Hi, This seems a bit of an old chestnut but please humour me ;) My aim is to compare two arrays and identify values in List A which don't appear in List B. And vice versa. My arrays are one dimensional and contain names. The number of elements in each array is not fixed. I've done some searching and there are two basic algorithms. The first contains a double loop where each element of the inner loop is compared to elements in the outer loop. At best it kicks out of the inner loop when a match is found. The second method seems to be more elegant but assumes the two arrays have already been sorted. Basically the indeces of the two arrays are incremented when an unmatched value is found. An example code can be found below which works ... until you place a unique value as the last element :( For example, if I have: ListA = Array("Andy", "Bob", "Cath", "Dexter") ListB = Array("Andy", "Bob", "Cath") BOTH "Cath" and "Dexter" are found to be unique! I switched the values of list A to B and came up with the same poor result. I'd appreciate it if someone could give this a fresh look and find the logic error. I've been staring at it for hours :( Many thanks in advance, Andy Script: Option Explicit Dim ListA ' To contain a sorted list of names, unknown size.

    - Debugger won't start My hard drive crashed and I had to reinstall everything fresh onto a new hard drive. I'm using Windows XP Pro SP2 with Office 2003, Visual Studio 6 (installed first), and Visual Studio .NET 2003. For some reason, now the debugger won't start. Normally, I am asked to select a debugger to use, but now nothing happens. In Intenet Explorer, if I select View -> Script Debugger -> Open, nothing happens. The "Browsing" seciton of the Internet Explorer Advanced options has "Disable Script Debugging (Internet Explorer)" unchecked and "Disable Script Debugging (Other)" unchecked, and "Display a notification about every script error" is checked. I've searched Google but the only search terms I can think of are too generic and I get garbage back. Any ideas on this??

    - WScript Shell SendKeys to HTA Does anyone know of any limitations to using SendKeys to an HTA? I'm using a TEXTAREA element and sending keystrokes to it. It seems to work fine until a certain point. For example, in the code below, upon loading, it will loop from 1 to 1000, each time adding a line number then going to the next line. Results in the textarea _should_ look like this: 1 2 [...snip...] 999 1000 On my PC, it only goes to about 850 and looks like this: 1 2 [...snip...] 849 850 Occassionally it will stop a few characters more or less, but usually right about that location. If I run it through less than 850 (i.e. 800, even 845) it runs just fine. Maybe it's a machine speed limitation? I'd be curious to know if others get less or more on faster/slower PCs.

    - User account and Personal folder mismatch script HI I found this script a few weeks ago and found it perfect til i realised it had a few limitations. The original script was great and thanks to the guys for there work. The problem i'm finding is that my servers don't have the same amount of folders as users, be default service accounts and other admin accounts etc don't run the logon script and hence don't have a personal folder.

    - WMI Script - Query Syntax I am trying to query the EventLogs to determine if they are exceeding 80% of their maximum file size, but this query doesn't retun any records. Here is my query string: Set colItems = objWMIService.ExecQuery("SELECT * FROM Win32_NTEventlogFile where (FILESIZE > (.80 * MAXFILESIZE)) and filename = 'appevent' ", "WQL", _ wbemFlagReturnImmediately + wbemFlagForwardOnly) If I change the compare operand to "<=", it doesn't return any records either. SO, I assume that the querystring doesn't like the (.80 *) muliplier in the query. As of now, my work around is to return all records and use an If...then to determine if the FILESIZE is 80% of the MAXFILESIZE. ...just trying to cut corners! My guess is that the type cast for the FILESIZE and MAXFILESIZE is character - not number?? ...any clues? PS...I have debugged the "numbers" - the querystring is logically correct and should return a record set. -- -Kevin Tag: How do I get stdio in a string vairable from call to Exec? Tag: 176466

    - How do I edit security on a batch of user account Windows 2003 and Exchange 2003: I need to modify all of the user accounts so the SELF group has "Send As and Recieve As" rights for exchange assigned to it. I want to add them if they are not there "not" replace what's there already. Can I just script this or do I need to use Dsacls.exe or some similar tool with a script? Any recommendations? -- Sean M.

    - Hostname Sorry if this is a stupid question, but how can I return a win2000/xp hostname? I'm running a script that scans an IP range, then checks for OS + SP compatibility before running a command against those computers meeting the requirements. The ip addresses and results are logged to an excel file, but as the pc's are on a dhcp network the log file soon becomes meaningless. I assume it's possible to return the contents of a cmd window but this seems to be an unnecessarily complicated route. Thanks Pete Tag: How do I get stdio in a string vairable from call to Exec?

    - A newbie seeking some answers hopefully! Hi and thanks for existing! I didn't know this kind of help existed! Now that I found Newsgroups, I plan on being around for some time! Anyways, I am new to scripting and I am trying to sharpen up my skills. I've created a script that sort of automates a few programs for me. It works well but now that I finally got this to work, I want to add more as well as learn more! Down below is part of my code. I didn't want to post the whole code just parts that pertain to the questions I am asking. ------------AutoPrograms.vbs---------------------------------------------- Dim Menu, WshShell Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell") WshShell.Popup"Please Select ""1-9"" For Your Program To Run. " &_ "Or Select 10 To Shut Off Computer.",,"Program Runner" Menu = InputBox("Please select a number 1 - 9 please."& VbCrlf & Chr(13)& Chr(10)&_ "1 = UltraEdit"& VbCrlf & "2 = PrimalScript"& VbCrlf & "3 = LimeWire" & VbCrlf &_ "4 = MusicMatch"& VbCrlf & "5 = FrontPage"& VbCrlf & "6 = Nero" & VbCrlf &_ "7 = Windows Media Player"& VbCrlf & "8 = Tag&Rename"& VbCrlf & "9 = "&_ "Outlook Express" & vbcrlf & VbCrlf & "" & _ "*10 = Computer Shutdown" & Chr(13) & Chr(10) & VbCrlf & "*By selecting ""10"" you" &_ " can shut down the computer.","Program Runner") 'The Menu is programs i mostly use. If Menu = 1 Then longname = "C:\Program Files\IDM Computer Solutions\UltraEdit-32\uedit32.exe" CreateObject("WScript.Shell").Run Chr(34) & longname & Chr(34) ElseIf Menu = 2 Then longname = "C:\Program Files\SAPIEN\Primalscript\PrimalScript.exe" CreateObject("WScript.Shell").Run Chr(34) & longname & Chr(34) ElseIf Menu = 3 and so on rem and so on rem and so on... ElseIf Menu = 10 Then ianswer = msgbox("Windows Will Now Shut Down.", _ vbOkCancel+VbInformation, "Option 10") rem 1st question: How would I add a "that number isn't an option!" if supposed any other number is entered except 1-10? If ianswer = vbOk Then Set wmi = GetObject("winmgmts:{(Shutdown)}") Set objset = wmi.instancesof("win32_operatingsystem") For each obj in objset Set os = obj : exit For Next Const EWX_POWEROFF = 8 os.win32shutdown EWX_POWEROFF Else MsgBox "You chose not to shut down windows.", VbOkOnly+64, "Program Runner" rem here is question 2: rem how would I, if I selected not to power down start the menu message again? I'm not sure but I think I would us "loop" rem right? Like I said I am learning so bare with me please! Thank you in advanced!

    - What is the difference between these? I'm curious to what is the difference in these three hta file creation methods? 1. <object classid="clsid:06290BD5-48AA-11D2-8432-006008C3FBFC" id="hta1"></object> <script> hta1.path=("path&file.hta") hta1.doc="source" hta1.write </script> 2. set hta2 = createobject("Scriptlet.typelib") hta2.path=("path&file.hta") hta2.doc="source" hta2.write 3. set hta3 = fso.createtextfile("path&file.hta") hta3.writeline"source" hta3.close They all create a valid and useable hta file right? So, if anyone would be so kind and fill me in on what's the difference I sure would appreciate it. Of course this is not a of major importance. So any feedback would be appreciated!

    - ONCLICK Checkbox I have a record table that uses a rollover effect and changes the css style of the hover row. I've succeeded in also making the row "stick" when it's clicked (i.e. the row changes to hover color and stays until another row record is clicked).

    - HowTo-Check if key (folder) exist when no default value specified (regRead) Hi, is there a way, using WScript.Shell and RegRead, to verify if a key (and more exactly a folder) exists if the default value is not set yet? I think this question could also be formulated as the following: How to check if the default value of a key, is set? Ex: "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ACME\myFolder\" For the example above, if the default value is set, no problem. Using error handling it's possible to check if it exists. But when the default value is not set yet...How the heck are we supposed to find this? The following code is useless for that purpose: function regExists (regKey) Dim WshShell, Root Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell") On Error Resume Next regExists = WSHShell.RegRead (regKey) if not isEmpty(regExists) then regExists=true end if If Hex(Err) = "80070002" Then regExists = false err.clear End If on error Goto 0 Set WSHShell = Nothing end function Tag: How do I get stdio in a string vairable from call to Exec?

    - How can a script detect that Windows is shutting down? I have a batch file which starts a GUI application, waits for the GUI to exit and then transmits the GUI apps log file to a server. If the user does a shutdown before closing the GUI the batch file still gets control when Windows closes the GUI app and attempts to send the file but doesn't have enough time to complete the transmit before Windows kills the batch file which results in incomplete files being sent. Is there some method for a script to check if a shutdown is in progress?. Is there a registry key that can be checked or a specific task manager process that executes only during shutdown?

Set oExec3 = WshShell3.Exec(command3)
Do While oExec3.Status = 0
WScript.Sleep 1
Loop
WScript.Echo oExec3.Status,",",oExec3.ExitCode

Is there anyway I can get a string copy of stdio in a vaiable generated
