I am trying to find the owners of all the folders in a given path. I have the following code:
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
For Each objFolder In objFSO.GetFolder("C:\Windows").SubFolders
strpath = objFolder.Path
WScript.Echo strpath
Next
My end goal is to put the path and and owner of all the folders from the given path into a text file.
Could someone help me find the owner of a folder and be able to place this owner name into a variable. I could then use this to improve my existing code.
As JoSerra mentioned in the comments you can retrieve the owner of a file or folder via the WMI class Win32_LogicalFileSecuritySetting. The sample code from the Script Center is mostly accurate. I would, however, recommend using double quotes instead of single quotes around the path.
Single quotes (unlike double quotes) are valid characters in a path. If you invoke the statement wmi.Get("Win32_LogicalFileSecuritySetting.Path='" & path & "'") with a path containing a single quote, the call will fail with an "invalid object path" error. Thus it's better to use double quotes and escape backslashes in the path.
path = "C:\some\folder 'with' quotes"
Function Esc(str)
Esc = Replace(str, "\", "\\")
End Function
Set wmi = GetObject("winmgmts:")
Set fs = wmi.Get("Win32_LogicalFileSecuritySetting=""" & Esc(path) & """")
rc = fs.GetSecurityDescriptor(sd)
If rc = 0 Then
WScript.Echo "Owner: " & sd.Owner.Domain & "\" & sd.Owner.Name
Else
WScript.Echo "Couldn't retrieve security descriptor."
End If

I'm currently using UFT -- I have a GUI test, and there's a web element object in one of my tests I'd like to delete/update, but I'm worried it's being referenced by another test in our test suite. (I am coming into a test suite that someone else built)
Is there anyway to tell whether or not an object in the object repository is being used in other tests? (Without having to go into each individual test and action to find out?)
My way would be simple recursive file search.
Open EditPlus
Search -> Find In Files
Find What =
File Type = *.mts | *.vbs | *.qfl
Folder =
Select the Include Sub Folder Check Box
Click Find
You can use Search>View>Find (or ctrl+F) from UFT and select to look in entire solution
Open "Script.mts" file from every action and search for your object name. If you find the object, write the script name and line number where your object exists, in a file.
Use the below code:
'strScriptsPath is the path where your test script folders are placed.
Set strScripts = objFSO.GetFolder(strScriptsPath).SubFolders
For Each Script In strScripts
strAction = strScriptsPath & "\" & Script.Name & "\Action1\Script.mts"
If objFSO.FileExists(strAction) Then
'Open Script in NotePad
Set strFile = objFSO.OpenTextFile(strAction, 1)
Do While Not (strFile.AtEndOfStream)
strLine = strFile.ReadLine
If InStr(1, strLine, strObjectName) > 0 Then
iVerificationCount = objSheet.UsedRange.Rows.Count
iCurrentRow = iVerificationCount + 1
objSheet.Cells(iCurrentRow, 1) = Script.Name
objSheet.Cells(iCurrentRow, 2) = strLine
If strFile.AtEndOfStream Then
objSheet.Cells(iCurrentRow, 3) = strFile.Line
Else
objSheet.Cells(iCurrentRow, 3) = strFile.Line - 1
End If
End If
Loop
strFile.Close
Set strFile = Nothing
End If
Next
Set strScripts = Nothing
To be able to use this code, declare objFSO object and write a piece of code to create an excel and get objSheet.
You can also replace the object name using the below code:
Use the For Each Loop as mentioned above
strScript = strScriptsPath & "\" & strScriptName & "\Action1\Script.mts"
strFind = "Old Object Name"
strReplace = "New Object Name"
Set strFile = objFSO.OpenTextFile(strScript, 1)
strData = strFile.ReadAll
strNewData = Replace(strData, strFind, strReplace)
strFile.Close
Set strFile = Nothing
Set strFile = objFSO.OpenTextFile(strScript, 2)
strFile.Write strNewData
strFile.Close
Set strFile = Nothing
** You just need to write this entire code in a .vbs file and run that file.
My main goal is to check if a folder exists in a zip file.
For that I'm trying to go through the various files and folders. I use the following code for that:
strFile = "C:\Users\temp.zip"
Set objApp = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
Set objContents = objApp.NameSpace(strFile).Items()
For Each objItem in objContents
WScript.Echo objItem.Name
If objItem.IsFolder Then
GetSubFolders(objItem)
End If
Next
Sub GetSubFolders(objSubItem)
Set objFolder = objSubItem.GetFolder
For Each objItem2 in objFolder.Items()
WScript.Echo objItem2.Name
If objItem2.IsFolder Then
GetSubFolders(objItem2)
End If
Next
End Sub
The problem is I can't seem to figure out, how to check which level I am on.
I thought about this:
levelDepth = Len(strFile) - Len(Replace(strFile, "\", ""))
which tells me how "deep" the zip file is. If I could get the full path of objItem and objItem2, then I could use the same method. Subtract the two from each other and get how deep in the zip file the current directory or file is.
The Path property should give you the full path of an item.
I would like to pass the full path of a text file to one of the function.
i am placing the my script, and text file at same location
by using the below command i found the folder path where my script is
p = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject").GetParentFolderName(WScript.ScriptFullName)
p came as C:\test
my file name is xyz.txt
i want to pass the the argument to the function as C:\test\xyz.txt
how can i combine path and file name
i tried below code
path = p & "xyz.txt"
can any one help me how can join the path and file name.
You can use string concatenation to build a path. The correct way to do it, however, is to use the FileSystemObject's BuildPath() method, because this will do the right thing with the backslashes under all circumstances.
Set FSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
scriptPath = FSO.GetParentFolderName(WScript.ScriptFullName)
textFilePath = FSO.BuildPath(scriptPath, "xyz.txt")
MsgBox textFilePath
Try like this code :
Option Explicit
Msgbox GetFilePath("xyz.txt")
'******************************************************
Function GetFilePath(FileName)
Dim fso,scriptPath
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
scriptPath = FSO.GetParentFolderName(WScript.ScriptFullName)
GetFilePath = FSO.BuildPath(scriptPath,FileName)
End Function
'******************************************************
I need to take a list of computers (IP or PC name) that are all on the same domain in CSV format. Scan each computer for a specific folder name. The folder will be arcXXXof. The x's are a hash and change for each PC. If the folder is found it needs to output the folder path to a CSV and append with each computer scanned. My programming is limited and I only really know Java. Since this will be run from a server it will need local administrative privileges to run on the local machines. My manager suggested I use VBS, but I have never written in that before.
My current snag is getting an error "expected then" Here's my loop.
Sub Recurse(strFolderPath)
Dim objFolder
Set objFolder = objFSO.GetFolder(strFolderPath) 'reads Folders pulled from recursion
Dim objSubFolder
dim folderStart 'grabs the first 2 characters of the file name. Should match 'of' if correct folder
Dim folderEnd 'grabs the last 6 (test) characters of the folder name, should match arc.txt if correct
Global checkEnd
set checkEnd = "arc" 'checks for "arc" at ending
Global checkStart
set checkStart = "of" 'used to check if folder name is correct path
For Each objSubFolder in objFolder 'for every Folder scanned
'Scans the name of the Folder, objSubFolder, for an ending of “arc", and beginning of “of” (testing)
set folderName = objSubFolder.name
Set folderEnd = right(folderName, 3)
set folderStart = left(folderName, 2)
dim folderName
if folderName = testFolderName
then WScript.Echo objSubFolder
'If folderEnd = checkEnd and
'If folderStart = checkStart
'Add Folder location to array, set array to next object
'Then fLocations(i) = object.GetAbsolutePathName(objSubFolder) and i = i+1
else
End If
Next
'recursive for searching new folder
For Each objSubFolder in objFolder.Subfolders
Call Recurse(objSubFolder.Path)
Next
OK, you could use a regex to match the name. Define it up front, in your global scope:
Dim re
Set re = New RegExp
re.IgnoreCase = True
re.Pattern = "^arc\w{3}of$"
I'm using \w, which is equivalent to [a-zA-Z_0-9]. You can change this if you're expecting only digits (\d) or something else for these three chars.
Then, in your Recurse function, test the folder name against it:
For Each objSubFolder in objFolder.SubFolders
' See if this folder name matches our regex...
If re.Test(objSubFolder.Name) Then
' Match. Just display for now...
WScript.Echo objSubFolder.Path
End If
' Test its subfolders...
Recurse objSubFolder.Path
Next
Tip: Remove the On Error Resume Next from your code while you're developing or you might miss all kinds of bugs and cause all kinds of headaches.
First of all, please excuse my shortcomings in presenting my issue as I haven't got much knowledge in VBA. Your help would be kindly appreciated.
I am working on a project that would imply putting the content of three different Excel files from three different sub-folders into one Excel file, and then run some macros in order to process the data they contain. Since I've already set the processing macros, my issue relies in importing the content correctly.
The problem I'm facing is that I don't have the exact names of the files I would like to open, and that they would change each month. Therefore, I can't use the "WorkBooks.Open" command that requires a precise name. However, the files have predictable name formats. For instance, one of the sub-folders will be comprised of files named "XXX-jan2013.xls", another one "january2013-XXX" and the last one "XXX-01/2013".
My goal would be to input the month and year manually, for instance “01/2013”, and then open all the files containing "January”, “jan” or “01" in their names.
Here’s what I have so far, with comments:
Sub ChosenDate()
‘It aims at opening a box in which the desired month would be written manually
Dim InputDate As String
‘These are the indications the user will get
InputDate = InputBox(Prompt:="Please choose a month.", _
Title:="Date", Default:="MM/YYYY")
‘In case the person forgets to write what he’s asked to
If InputDate = "MM/YYYY" Or _
InputDate = vbNullString Then
Exit Sub
‘If he does it correctly, I call the second Sub
Else: Call FilesOpening
End If
End Sub
‘So far, everything works fine
Public Sub FilesOpening()
‘This one aims at opening the chosen files
Dim ThisFile As String
Dim Files As String
‘Defining the folder in which the file is, as it can change from a computer to another
ThisFile = ThisWorkbook.Path
‘Here’s where I start struggling and where the macro doesn’t work anymore
‘If I wanted to open all the files of the folder, I would just write that:
Files = Dir(ThisFile & "\*.xls")
‘You never know…
On Error Resume Next
‘Creating the Loop
Do While Files <> vbNullString
Files = Dir
Set wbBook = Workbooks.Open(ThisWorkbook.Path & "\" & Files)
Loop
End Sub
‘But it doesn’t look inside of sub-folders, neither does it consider the date
Sub DataProcess()
‘This one is fine, except I can’t find a way to name the files correctly. Here’s the beginning:
Windows("I don’t know the name.xls").Activate
Sheets("Rapport 1").Select
Cells.Select
Selection.Copy
Windows("The File I Want To Put Data In.xlsm").Activate
Sheets("Where I Want To Put It").Select
Range("A1").Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
Windows("I don’t know the name.xls").Close
‘How can I get the name?
I hope my statement is understandable.
Thank you very much in advance!
Have a nice day,

You need to build a list of the paths and the expected file masks. You can then loop each matching file and do your stuff.
Sub foo()
Dim request As String: request = "01/2013"
'//make a date
Dim asDate As Date: asDate = "01/" & request
Dim dirs(2) As String, masks(2) As String
dirs(0) = "c:\xxx\dir1\"
masks(0) = "*" & Format$(asDate, "mmmmyyyy") & "*.xls"
dirs(1) = "c:\xxx\dir2\"
masks(1) = "*" & Format$(asDate, "mmmyyyy") & "*.xls"
dirs(2) = "c:\xxx\dir3\"
masks(2) = "*" & Format$(asDate, "mmyyyy") & "*.xls"
Dim i As Long
For i = 0 To UBound(dirs)
GetFiles dirs(i), masks(i)
Next
End Sub
Private Function GetFiles(path As String, mask As String)
Dim file As String
'//loop matching files
file = Dir$(path & mask)
Do Until Len(file) = 0
'//process match
process path & file
file = Dir$()
Loop
End Function
Sub process(filePath As String)
MsgBox "processing " & filePath
'workbook.open
End Sub
As "XXX-01/2013" is not a file name I assumed "XXX-012013".
If its another subdirectory just:
dirs(x) = "c:\xxx\dir3\" & Format$(asDate, "mm") & "\"
masks(x) = "*" & year(asDate) & "*.xls"
