Copy file names at Recycle Bin - windows

I'm trying to copy all filenames list on the Recycle Bin in Windows 10.
I go to Command Prompt:
C:\>cd C:/$Recycle.Bin
C:\$Recycle.Bin>dir S-1-5-21-2370250818-2711005194-4184312249-1165
$R8CQG1I.txt
$IURO2ZD.txt
$RV2TEJ7.txt
I have 3 files I want to copy the real file names not the names like this result.
After some search I found this VBScript. I run the code and I get this error:

The VBScript version of #boxdog answer:
Set objShellApp = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
Set objSpecialFolder = objShellApp.NameSpace(10) '10 = Recyle Bin
For Each objFolder In objSpecialFolder.Items
WScript.Echo "FileName = " & objFolder.Name & vbTab & "Original Path = " & objFolder.ExtendedProperty("{9B174B33-40FF-11D2-A27E-00C04FC30871} 2")
Next
Answering this in case anyone is looking for VBS only solution.

In PowerShell, you can list the current path and original name/location of the Recycle Bin contents like This:
$shell = New-Object -ComObject Shell.Application
$shell.NameSpace(0x0a).Items() |
Select-Object #{Label="OriginalLocation";Expression={$_.ExtendedProperty("{9B174B33-40FF-11D2-A27E-00C04FC30871} 2")}},Name, Path
To copy the items, you can do this:
$shell.NameSpace(0x0a).Items() |
Copy-Item -Destination "C:\RecoveredFiles\$($_.Name)" -Recurse -Force
Note that this doesn't take into account any name-clashes - you'll need to test for that and adjust accordingly.

VB SCRIPT The system can not find the file specified ON SOME COMPUTERS/USERS

Good day! I have this script that opens up an access application.
This script works on several users but one. This user is getting this error
"Error 80070002: The system can not find the file specified".
I'm quite sure there is nothing wrong with my script as only one person is encountering this issue.
Could there be a computer setting or update that is causing this problem?
Everything works except for the Open File part.
And this is for some computers/user only. Most of the Computer/users can execute this without any problem.
Thanks in advance!
Here's the script
'*******************************************************************************
'Find user name
'*******************************************************************************

userName = WshNetwork.UserName
Set WshNetwork = Nothing

For Each file In folder.Files
If InStr(file.Name, "AMSDshbd_M") = 1 Then

end if

end if

Set objShell = Nothing
I figured out what happened. the variable "microsoftAccessFile" is the path to the MS Access EXE, some of the users have a different path to this Access EXE that's why it doesn't work for them. I identified the path where their Access EXE is stored and changed the script for them and it works now. Thanks for pointing out the variable

VB Script referencing a Variable which is defined from a macro

I need some help with this VB script (edit: it is being used in QlikView)- it is copying a file to a different location (checks if the file already exists in the destination folder).
It works when the source filename and location is hardcoded but this is going to be a variable which is defined in a different macro.
So the source filename and location will be defined by varFileOpen.
Basically in the code, instead of:
SourceFile = "C:\file_path\file_name.txt"
to be like this:
SourceFile = varFileOpen
where varFileOpen has been defined from a different SUB (it is the full file path).... I can't get it to work?
Sub that creates the varFileOpen:
'Sub to get open file dialog
SUB ShowOpen
OpenSave "varFileOpen", 0, "Text file (*.txt)|*.txt|All files (*.*)|*.*", "h:\", "Select a file to open"
END SUB
' Sub to show browse folder dialog
SUB Folder (objVariable)
ON ERROR RESUME NEXT
SET objShell = CREATEOBJECT("Shell.Application")
SET objFolder = objShell.BrowseForFolder (WINDOW_HANDLE, TITLE, OPTIONS, ROOT)
SET objFolderItem = objFolder.Self
strPathAndFile = objFolderItem.Path
SET objSavePath = ActiveDocument.Variables(objVariable)
objSavePath.SetContent strPathAndFile, TRUE
ON ERROR GOTO 0
END SUB
' Sub to show open/save dialog
SUB OpenSave (objVariable, intType, strFilter, strInitialDirectory, strDialogText)
' Create objects
SET objShell = CREATEOBJECT("WScript.Shell")
SET objFSO = CREATEOBJECT("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
strTempDir = objShell.ExpandEnvironmentStrings("%TEMP%")
strTempFile = strTempDir & "\" & objFSO.GetTempName
' Temporary powershell script file to be invoked
strPSFile = tempFile & ".ps1"
' Temporary file to store standard output from command
strPSOutFile = tempFile & ".txt"
' Create script to run
strPSScript = strPSScript & "[System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName(""System.windows.forms"") | Out-Null" & vbCRLF
' Check type (Open (0) or Save (1))
IF intType = 1 THEN
strPSScript = strPSScript & "$dlg = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.SaveFileDialog" & vbCRLF
ELSE
strPSScript = strPSScript & "$dlg = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.OpenFileDialog" & vbCRLF
END IF
' Set initial directory
strPSScript = strPSScript & "$dlg.initialDirectory = " & CHR(34) & strInitialDirectory & CHR(34) & vbCRLF
' Set file filter/s
strPSScript = strPSScript & "$dlg.filter = " & CHR(34) & strFilter & CHR(34) & vbCRLF
strPSScript = strPSScript & "$dlg.FilterIndex = 1" & vbCRLF
' Set dialog text
strPSScript = strPSScript & "$dlg.Title = " & CHR(34) & strDialogText & CHR(34) & vbCRLF
' Show help (seems it must be set to true)
strPSScript = strPSScript & "$dlg.ShowHelp = $True" & vbCRLF
' Show the dialog
strPSScript = strPSScript & "$dlg.ShowDialog() | Out-Null" & vbCRLF
strPSScript = strPSScript & "Set-Content """ &strPSOutFile & """ $dlg.FileName" & vbCRLF
' Write result
SET objResultFile = objFSO.CreateTextFile(strPSFile, TRUE)
objResultFile.WriteLine(strPSScript)
objResultFile.Close
SET objResultFile = NOTHING
' Run command in PowerShell
strPSCMD = "powershell -ExecutionPolicy unrestricted &'" & strPSFile & "'"
objShell.Run strPSCMD, 0, TRUE
' Open result file and read result
SET objResultFile = objFSO.OpenTextFile(strPSOutFile, 1, 0, -2)
strPathAndFile = objResultFile.ReadLine
objResultFile.Close
SET objResultFile = NOTHING
' Add to result to variable
SET objSavePath = ActiveDocument.Variables(objVariable)
objSavePath.SetContent strPathAndFile, TRUE
' Delete temp-files
objFSO.DeleteFile(strPSFile)
objFSO.DeleteFile(strPSOutFile)
END SUB
The above code opens explorer & you are able to select a file and the path is copied - varFileOpen.
The following SUB moves the file:
SUB movefile
Const DestinationFile = "c:\destfolder\anyfile.txt"
Const SourceFile = "C:\file_path\file_name.txt"
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
'Check to see if the file already exists in the destination folder
If fso.FileExists(DestinationFile) Then
'Check to see if the file is read-only
If Not fso.GetFile(DestinationFile).Attributes And 1 Then
'The file exists and is not read-only. Safe to replace the file.
fso.CopyFile SourceFile, "C:\destfolder\", True
Else
'The file exists and is read-only.
'Remove the read-only attribute
fso.GetFile(DestinationFile).Attributes = fso.GetFile(DestinationFile).Attributes - 1
'Replace the file
fso.CopyFile SourceFile, "C:\destfolder\", True
'Reapply the read-only attribute
fso.GetFile(DestinationFile).Attributes = fso.GetFile(DestinationFile).Attributes + 1
End If
Else
'The file does not exist in the destination folder. Safe to copy file to this folder.
fso.CopyFile SourceFile, "C:\destfolder\", True
End If
Set fso = Nothing
END SUB
You will need to pass the value into the Sub for it to have scope, which means you will need to define the sub like this so that it accepts a parameter
Public Sub MySub(byVal SourceFile)
ByVal just means you pass the Value of the variable rather than the actual variable itself.
And you would call it from the other sub with
MySub varFileOpen
EDIT: Based on the code displayed above, you would need to change Sub movefile to Sub movefile(byVal SourceFile) and remove the Const delaration of SourceFile. Once that was done, all you would have to do is change whatever is calling movefile (I can't see anything in the code you've posted doing this?) to call it with movefile varToOpen instead
Try my CustomFileDialog.
Usage:
Dim fDialog
Set fDialog = New CustomFileDialog
fDialog.FilterString = "Text Files (*.txt)|*.txt"
fDialog.InitialDirectory = "C:\"
fDialog.DialogText = "Select a file to open"
fDialog.Show
fDialog.MoveFile "C:\stackoverflow\temp\New File Name.TXT"
CustomFileDialog
Class CustomFileDialog
Public SourceFile
Public FilterString
Public InitialDirectory
Public DialogText
Public Sub Show
Set toolkit = CreateObject("Vbsedit.toolkit")
Files = toolkit.OpenFileDialog(InitialDirectory, FilterString, False, DialogText)
If UBound(Files) >= 0 Then
SourceFile = Files(0)
Else
SourceFile = ""
End If
End Sub
Public Sub MoveFile(DestinationFile)
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
If fso.FileExists(DestinationFile) Then fso.DeleteFile DestinationFile, True
fso.CopyFile SourceFile, DestinationFile, True
End Sub
End Class

VBS zipping script

I found (apparently working for everybody) script which only needs to be modified (paths):

Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Dim file
Set file = fso.CreateTextFile(pathToZipFile)
file.Write Chr(80) & Chr(75) & Chr(5) & Chr(6) & String(18, 0)
file.Close
Set fso = Nothing
Set file = Nothing
WScript.Sleep 500
End Sub
Sub CreateZip(pathToZipFile, dirToZip)
'WScript.Echo "Creating zip (" & pathToZipFile & ") from (" & dirToZip & ")"
Dim fso
Set fso= Wscript.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
pathToZipFile = fso.GetAbsolutePathName(pathToZipFile)
dirToZip = fso.GetAbsolutePathName(dirToZip)
If fso.FileExists(pathToZipFile) Then
'WScript.Echo "That zip file already exists - deleting it."
fso.DeleteFile pathToZipFile
End If
If Not fso.FolderExists(dirToZip) Then
'WScript.Echo "The directory to zip does not exist."
Exit Sub
End If
NewZip pathToZipFile
dim sa
set sa = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
Dim zip
Set zip = sa.NameSpace(pathToZipFile)
'WScript.Echo "opening dir (" & dirToZip & ")"
Dim d
Set d = sa.NameSpace(dirToZip)
' Look at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb787866(VS.85).aspx
' for more information about the CopyHere function.
zip.CopyHere d.items, 4
Do Until d.Items.Count <= zip.Items.Count
Wscript.Sleep(200)
Loop
End Sub
Can anybody give example how this script should look like with
real paths? I'm trying but it's not working for me.
This script consists solely of two subroutines and thus will never execute anything.
Add the following line to the bottom of the file and it should work (given that the code in the subs is sound, I have not tested):
CreateZip "c:\output\test.zip" "c:\input\"
This will do the following, in order:
Check to see if the output file exists. If it does, it will delete it.
Check to see if the input folder exists, if it does not, the script will exit.
Call the NewZip sub which just creates an "empty" .zip file.
Copy files to the zip file.
Pause for a while, probably to ensure you don't try to access the ZIP before it's done copying.
The contents of the input folder will now be in the zip file in the output folder.

copy the files with creation date range using VBS (in Sub folder files also)

I tried with this link
copy files between a specified date range
but i am able to copying only root directory
please any one help me
Here you go. Please note that this can potentially create empty directories because it will create a directory and then check to see if each file falls within the specified date range or not. If no files do, the directory will remain empty.
Obviously, you can comment out or delete the WScript.Echo lines. They are for troubleshooting only.

VBScript FTP Login with Username and Password

I am trying to update a VBScript (very little experience with this, I do a lot of VB.NET), that reads an FTP directory and moves certain files to a new local directory on a daily basis. I have old code that works on an FTP site that uses anonymous logins, but I now need it to access an FTP site that requires username and password.
Here is my current code -
Sub MoveNSPurolatorFile()
Dim NSPurolatorFTPSite, NSPurolatorMoveFilePath, NSPurolatorFTPFolder, NSPurolatorFTPFileName
Dim folder, files
Dim fso
set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
NSPurolatorFTPSite="\\xxx.xxx.x.xx\"
NSPurolatorMoveFilePath = "F:\TestDirectory"
NSPurolatorFTPFolder = "TestFolder"
NSPurolatorFTPFileName = "MAN0201.CSV"
If InStr(NSPurolatorFTPFileName, "_processed") = 0 and InStr(NSPurolatorFTPFileName, ".CSV") > 0 Then
If fso.FolderExists(NSPurolatorFTPSite & NSPurolatorFTPFolder) Then
If fso.FileExists(NSPurolatorFTPSite & NSPurolatorFTPFolder & NSPurolatorFTPFileName) Then
objfile.writeline "NS Purolator File Found: " & NSPurolatorFTPSite & NSPurolatorFTPFolder & NSPurolatorFTPFileName
fso.copyFile NSPurolatorFTPSite & NSPurolatorFTPFolder & NSPurolatorFTPFileName, NSPurolatorMoveFilePath & "\"
Else
objfile.writeline "File does not exist: " & NSPurolatorFTPSite & NSPurolatorFTPFolder & NSPurolatorFTPFileName
End If
End If
End If
Next
End Sub
It says the folder does not exist, but I know it does and when I run this code against an ftp site that does not require username and password it works fine. I guess my question is - How do I pass in the username and password using VBScript to the ftp site before trying to access folders, etc?
Thanks.
This really is an incredibly bad way to do this. You can't just treat folders on a remote FTP site as local folders.
You really should be using InetCtrls.Inet.1
Here's an example I lifted from somewhere else that does not do what you want, but contains all the parts you need - you need to pick it apart to suit your needs.

How is the script being run? Manually, automatically? By a service?
Mapped-letter drives are not always available when running as a service.
Experiment with the script to ensure that it even able to see the F:\ drive, and then see what else is visible.
Is the FTP site accessed by a UNC path (looks like it is)? If it is just a standard FTP address then you can incorporate the username / password in the URL e.g. ftp://user:pass#myftpsite.com. If it is a UNC path that you are trying to access using different credentials then the easiest way would probably be to map a drive, do the work and then unmap the drive. 2 different approaches can be found here
