    - Hide Process via VB Good day, I have a process that needs to start for every client via citrix. I created a batch file: ************************* start "DO NOT CLOSE" /min waveengine.exe --debug "M:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data" cd\ cd "M:\Program Files\Twisted Pair Solutions\WAVE\DispatchCommunicator\ WAVEDispatchCommunicator.exe *************************** When I run the above via citrix, it will open a dos box and then kick off the application. The problem is that the dos box doesn't go away "hince "do not close" title bar. i tried the following script: **************************** Const HIDDEN_WINDOW = 12 strComputer = "." Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _ & "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2") Set objStartup = objWMIService.Get("Win32_ProcessStartup") Set objConfig = objStartup.SpawnInstance_ objConfig.ShowWindow = HIDDEN_WINDOW Set objProcess = GetObject("winmgmts:root\cimv2:Win32_Process") errReturn = objProcess.Create("waveengine.exe",null,objconfig, intProcessID) ******************************* This looks like its going to work but fails. Reason I believe its failing is the waveengine.exe needs to look at --debug "M:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data" -------see batch file above---- How do I add this line? Also when the application WAVEDispatchCommunicator.exe is closed would need waveengine.exe process to stop. I am so green at this Vb stuff. Thanks for your time.

    - Reading in a line from a CSV Hi, I need to read in a CSV file with 4 values per line. value1,value2,value3,value4 value1,value2,value3,value4 and so on.... I need to read that in to some arrays in VBScript. I want to something similar to this Set csvFile = objFileSystem.GetFile(csvFilePath) Set csvFileForRead = csvFile.OpenAsTextStream(ForReading) count = csvFileForRead.numberOfLines For i = 0 to count - 1 strLine = csvFileForRead.readLine value1Array(i) = substring(0,",") value2Array(i) = substring(first comma, next comma) and so on next I don't want the code to work only with a four value CSV file either... Can someone suggest a way to implement this? Thanks. Also, what I want to do is use the script to load a CSV file of events, dates, times, and notes into an Outlook calendar on an exchange server so any insight on that would be welcomed to. In a previous post, a poster suggested looking at VbaOUTL9.chm but I could not find a copy of this. Thanks. Tag: do while loop yields "Error: Object required: '[number: 0]'" Tag: 198856

    - How to convert strings between ASCII and Unicode? Hi I have saved all the web pages that display lists of book titles at a web site. I want to detect duplicates. I've written a VBScript to go through all of the web pages, extracting the titles in the lists. I use the file object's readall method to read the files, and the Split and other string functions to extract individual titles. I add the titles as keys in a dictionary and set the value for this item to the file name and the title's location in this file. If the key already exists, the current file and position are added to that key's value. On initial tests, this worked fine - I could easily get a list of duplicates. My problem is that while most of the web pages are plain ASCII, a significant number of them are Unicode. The string functions work fine with Unicode, but the dictionary .Exists method seems to mess up with a mixture of ASCII and Unicode, resulting in false indications that a title already exists. I know how to detect the Unicode files - the first two bytes are Hex FF FE. And my Unicode files are about twice as large as the plain ASCII file. Once I have a file or string variable that contains Unicode, how can I quicky convert it to ASCII? If the scripting dictionary handles Unicode well, I'm just as open to converting the plain ASCII to Unicode I have tried manually opening the Unicode files in WXP's Notepad and then saving them with ANSI encoding. This solves my problem, but I'd like the script to handle the problem. . Thanks, -Paul Randall Tag: do while loop yields "Error: Object required: '[number: 0]'" Tag: 198853

    - Returning recordset from a function and using EOF Hi, I have been all over the web looking for a definitive answer to this question. I want to have a function which grabs a record set, and returns it. Then, after my function call, I want to use something like EOF or GetRows() to cycle through the record set. But no matter what I try, I get the following error: Object doesn't support this property or method: 'currentRow.EOF' ----------------- Code returning set from function: <snip> rs.Open cmd, , adOpenStatic, adLockReadOnly Set cmd.ActiveConnection = Nothing Set cmd = Nothing set rs.ActiveConnection = Nothing oConn.Close Set oConn = Nothing getReportLogRow = rs ' This is the return statement End Function ---------- Code using the returned recordset: <snip> Set currentRow = CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset") Set currentRow = getReportLogRow(sessID) if(currentRow.EOF)then <snip> --------------------- If I can solve this... I'm gonna publish the solution all over the place because I can't be the only one ripping out their hair over this. Why does vbscript-asp make using functions such a pain? ;) Thanks for any help!

    - creating folder tree structures Hi, Thanks for taking the time to read this. I work in the construction industry. We have recently started a new policy for how our project managers and department heads are supposed to digitally file job documents. This means that each time we start a new job or new project a particular folder structure is setup in our file servers. I am talking 100+ folders a week, each containing about 10 subfolders, and even some subfolders below those. As you can figure, this is a tedious task for anyone to do. I am looking to streamline this using some VB script if it's possible. The problem I am running into is that I still have to copy/paste folder names into my script (either script or simple mkdir batch file). I wanted to ask if there is a way to build a prompt using VB script so that if asks for the folder name and then does it's thing. This would be good so that I can create a small program for others to use. That, or can I inject data into my script from an outside database? This script will be more complicated, so that is why I am here asking. I know this is possible, and I think I should get this setup as it's going to make a big difference to our daily operations....

    - Posting Data to pages using VBA (Microsoft.XMLHTTP and MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP.4.0) Hi, I'm trying to pull some data from htm pages but am having some issues with the POST method. I would like to navigate between these pages and post/retrieve data in the same session. For example, testA.htm would have a couple of text boxes, radio buttons, etc. The code would populate the objects by modifying the HTML to add in the attributes (alternatives to this method would be welcome), then move along to testB.htm when the form is posted. The script would then gather data from testB.htm, modify the HTML, rinse/rather/repeat... I'm currently stuck between the post of testA.htm to testB.htm. I would like to see testB.htm in the responseText when I post testA.htm. If I use Microsoft.XMLHTTP, the page just refers back to itself when I look at the responseText. If I use MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP.4.0, I get one of two messages- "You are not authorized to view this page" or "Page cannot be displayed" Below is the VBA: Set xmlHTTP = CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP") 'Set xmlHTTP = CreateObject("MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP.4.0") xmlHTTP.Open "POST", "http://server/testA.htm", False xml.Send strResponse = xml.responseText Below is the HTML: <FORM name=testA action="http://server/testB.htm" method=post><input type=text name="Text0" value="PopulateSample"></input> <input type=submit value="Move to TestB" /> </FORM> Any input would be greatly appreciated; thanks in advance! -Harry Tag: do while loop yields "Error: Object required: '[number: 0]'" Tag: 198798

    - Text File Create date problem... Situation: I've got a vbscript that creates a logfile during processing. At the beginning of the script I check to see if the log already exists - if so, I rename it (move) then create a new log (CreateTextFile) for the current execution. Here's the code 1 Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") 2 If objFSO.FileExists(myLogFile) Then 3 Set objFile = objFSO.GetFile(myLogFile) 4 objFile.Move(myLogFile & <a suffix containing the last modified date>) 5 End If 6 Set objLogFile = objFSO.CreateTextFile(myLogFile, True) The Problem: The "DateCreated" attribute value seems be carried over from the previous logfile (line 2) to the new logfile (line 6)... but the date modified last accessed values are updated correctly. Why is the date created value not getting the current date and how can I fix this problem?

    - CDO - Access several Mailboxes Hi I=B4m relatively new to CDO and cant seem to wrap my head around the procedure of Session.Logon. I have a number of resources (cars) set up as Mailboxes in Exchange. These are put into a resource group and I have user-account that has full access to this group of mailboxes. Now I would like to be able to log on to the Exchange server as this "full-access-user" from a website. Can this be done? It seems to me the only way to log on to Exchange is to specify a certain Mailbox through the Session.Logon method. Fine, but how do i control who has access-rights? The only thing supplied is the mailaddress or alias, and the servername... How do I identify myself? I do not want to allow an anonymous_user-account or the everyone-account full access to every mailbox I have. Sorry if I seem a bit confused, but that=B4s because I am.... Thanks!

    - Include all files in subfolders Hi Everyone. I have developed a script that will display the name and creation time of files listed in a directory, but I need to display all files in all subfolders as well. So for example, if I were looping through the local disk (C:) drive, I would like a list of all files in all subfolders beyond c:/. I don't need any folder names, just the file names and creation times.

And unless the administrator is the one signed in to the pc, the dhcp client will disable but the message box does not display on the screen. It will give the message beep however.

    - Multilingual (UTF-8) support in HTML/URL Encoding/Decoding Hi, I have a multi-lingual website, especially with English and Hebrew chars and using codepage 65001 (UTF-8). I use the Server.HTMLEncode or Server.URLEncode with Hebrew chars when needed. But, when decoding them back - I get garbage. For example, a Hebrew string after Server.URLEncode and a following URLDecode: "P&&&&& "&&&&&&&DAD" 2DAD9D9D9D!" When used with English chars - all is OK. The URLDecode function I'm using is: Function URLDecode(str) str = Replace(str, "+", " ") For i = 1 To Len(str) sT = Mid(str, i, 1) If sT = "%" Then If i+2 <= Len(str) Then sR = sR & _ Chr(CLng("&H" & Mid(str, i+1, 2))) i = i+2 End If Else sR = sR & sT End If Next URLDecode = sR End Function I copied this function from somewhere. It's probably the problem. Isn't it? What should I use to enable URL/HTML Encoding/Decoding that supports UTF-8 as well?

Say I have the following script:

Set myTimer = 0
Do While myTimer < 10000
myTimer = myTimer + 1
Loop

MsgBox(myTimer)

When I try to run it, I get the following error:

Windows Script Host
Script: C:\vbscript\test.vbs
Line: 1
Char: 1
Error: Object required: '[number: 0]'
Code: 800A01A8
Source: Micrsoft VBScript runtime error

The output I'd expect to get is a single alert box that says 1000. Any
ideas as to what I'm doing wrong?

Set is a key word to assign objects to variables. Use:-
