I would like to check a txt file for a string.
If the string doesn't exist, it takes a number from key.txt and write it in another file. That part works fine.
But when the string is found, I would like to read the first five characters into a variable and take this variable to creating xml. When I run my script and the string is found.... the xml element Key is empty...
Anyone can help me? Thanks

you (the read pointer) are at the end of the file; TxtFile.AtEndOfStream is True and TxtFile.ReadLine won't be called/would fail. Evidence:
>> Set f = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject").OpenTextFile(WScript.ScriptFullName)
>> WScript.Echo 0, CStr(f.AtEndOfStream)
>> s = f.ReadAll()
>> WScript.Echo 1, CStr(f.AtEndOfStream)
>>
0 Falsch (False)
1 Wahr (True)
You could loop over the lines of the file (Split() sContent on vbCrLf), or - better - use a RegExp on sContent to extract the data needed.

I need to remove some text from lines:
strdir = "C:\texto.txt"
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set objFile = fso.OpenTextFile(strdir)
Dim arrTxt()
k = 0
Do Until objFile.AtEndOfStream
z = (k+1)
ReDim Preserve arrTxt(z)
line = objFile.ReadLine
arrTxt(k) = line
k = z
Loop
print Join(arrTxt, ",")
print (UBound(arrTxt) + 1)
My text file texto.txt:
name=test
correo=test#test.tst
I want remove "name=" and "correo=".
#Cid showcased how you can use the power of Split/Join to achieve what you want. I am going to demonstrate how you can harness the power of RegEx to achieve similar result without having to read one line at a time.
Assuming your text file looks like this
strdir = "C:\texto.txt"
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.filesystemobject")
Set objFile = objFSO.OpenTextFile(strdir)
strContent = objFile.ReadAll
objFile.Close
msgbox RemoveLines(strContent)
Function RemoveLines(str)
Dim objRegEx
Set objRegEx = New RegExp
With objRegEx
.Global = True
.Pattern = "^name=.*\n|^correo=.*\n"
.Multiline = True
End With
RemoveLines = objRegEx.Replace(str, "")
End Function
Output
I'd split each lines using = as delimiter and then, I'd check if the first element is name or correo.
strdir = "C:\texto.txt"
Set fso = createobject("Scripting.filesystemobject")
Set objFile = fso.OpenTextFile(strdir)
Dim arrTxt()
k = 0
Do until objFile.AtEndOfStream
z = (k+1)
ReDim preserve arrTxt(z)
line = objFile.ReadLine
myArray = Split(line, "=")
If (Not ((UBound(myArray) > 0) AND (myArray(0) = "name" OR myArray(0) = "correo"))) Then
arrTxt(k) = line
k = z
End If
loop
print Join(arrTxt,",")
print (Ubound(arrTxt) + 1)
With vba - The initial idea is to make the code understandable for a human - the code has the following 3 tasks:
Read from a file and save the input as a string;
Manipulate the string (e.g. replace the name= and correo=;
Write the manipulated string to a new file;
All these actions are noticeable in the TestMe():
Sub TestMe()
Dim readTxt As String
Dim filePath As String: filePath = "C:\text.txt"
readTxt = ReadFromFile(filePath)
readTxt = Replace(readTxt, "name=", "")
readTxt = Replace(readTxt, "correo=", "")
WriteToFile filePath, readTxt
End Sub
Once the bone above is ready, the two functions ReadFromFile and WriteToFile are quite handy:
Public Function ReadFromFile(path As String) As String
Dim fileNo As Long
fileNo = FreeFile
Open path For Input As #fileNo
Do While Not EOF(fileNo)
Dim textRowInput As String
Line Input #fileNo, textRowInput
ReadFromFile = ReadFromFile & textRowInput
If Not EOF(fileNo) Then
ReadFromFile = ReadFromFile & vbCrLf
End If
Loop
Close #fileNo
End Function
Sub WriteToFile(filePath As String, text As String)
Dim fso As Object
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Dim oFile As Object
Set oFile = fso.CreateTextFile(filePath)
oFile.Write text
oFile.Close
End Sub
I would like to have a script that reads a specific folder and extracts the base file names, removes the last two characters and then uses the result to populate the text of an inputbox. The user then selects from the given options and the remainder of the script searches and replaces text in a second folder with the selected text.
Example file names in the initial target folder:
ABFA1
ABFA3
ABFA4
HVA1
HVA3
HVA4
ITALA1
ITALA3
ITALA4
Obviously, once the last 2 characters are removed, I am left with duplicates which I will need to remove.
Here is part of the script I have so far:
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
strFilePath = objFSO.BuildPath(objFSO.GetAbsolutePathName("."), "\dwgs\logos")
If Not objFSO.FolderExists(strFilePath) Then
wscript.echo("Folder does not exist, script exiting")
wscript.quit
End if
'
Set objFolder = objFSO.GetFolder (strFilePath)
For Each objFile In objFolder.Files
strFile = objFSO.GetBaseName(objFile.Name)
strFile = LEFT(strFile, (LEN(strFile)-2))
' wscript.echo(strFile)
Next
'delete all duplicate files names and add result to dictionary (or array?)
'create an inputbox and present a number of choices populated by the dictionary/array
user1 = InputBox("Select a Logo:"&(chr(13))&(chr(13))&(*array/dict*)), "Logo Replacement Script")
' Set arguments
strFilePath2 = objFSO.BuildPath(objFSO.GetAbsolutePathName("."), "\dwgs")
FindString = "dwgs\logos\"
ReplaceStringWith = "dwgs\logos\"&(user1)
' Find and replace function
I am able to get the base file names with the last 2 characters removed, but I dont know how to weed out the duplicates and then use the result in an inputbox? (I'm imagining text within the inputbox of a number followed by a choice and the user enters the number to signify which option to use)
My first thought was to use an array, but after some reading, it would seem a dictionary approach might be better. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to figure out how to incorporate it into the script.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Updated script incorporating input from Ekkehard:
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
strFilePath = objFSO.BuildPath(objFSO.GetAbsolutePathName("."), "\dwgs\logos")
'
Function ShowFilesInFolder(strFolderPath)
Set oFolder = objFSO.GetFolder(strFolderPath)
Set oFileCollection = oFolder.Files
For Each oTempFile in oFileCollection
strTemp = strTemp & oTempFile.name
strTemp = LEFT(strTemp, (LEN(strTemp)-6))
Next
ShowFilesInFolder = strTemp
End Function
x = ShowFilesInFolder(strFilePath)

I need to insert a strText to line 14 in a template.txt file. Line 14 will always be blank before writing (sort of like appending I guess).
What I really need is to copy line 21 to line 14. Not sure what is the easier method to achieve this?
Here is what I have so far but not working. Below code is the template.txt.
Dim objFSO : Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
DIM Infile : Infile = "C:\template.txt"
Set tempFile = objFSO.OpenTextFile (Infile)
strText = tempFile.ReadAll
tempFile.Close
strNewText = Replace(strText, "","Channel_LandWaterMask = 3.0")
Set tempFile = objFSO.OpenTextFile (Infile, 2)
tempfile.Writeline 14, strNewText ‘(How would I write this???)
tempFile.Close
Here is the template.txt:
; Resample INF script for
; Section_YY XX_ZZZZ
[Source]
Type = MultiSource
NumberOfSources = 2
[Source1]
Type = GeoTIFF
Layer = Imagery
SourceDir = "S:\XX\Section_YY\Images"
SourceFile = "XX_ZZZZ_CC.tif"
Variation = DAY
[Source2]
Type = GeoTIFF
Layer = Imagery
SourceDir = "S:\XX\Section_YY\Images"
SourceFile = "XX_ZZZZ_LM.tif"
Variation = Night
Channel_LandWaterMask = 3.0
[Source3]
Type = GeoTIFF
Layer = None
SourceDir = "S:\XX\Section_YY\Images"
SourceFile = "XX_ZZZZ_WM.tif"
SamplingMethod = Gaussian
[Destination]
DestDir = "S:\2_Output\Section_YY"
DestBaseFileName = "XX_ZZZZ"
DestFileType = BGL
LOD = Auto
UseSourceDimensions = 1
CompressionQuality = 85
Take a look at the below example:
sContent = ReadTextFile("C:\template.txt", 0)
aContent = Split(sContent, vbCrLf)
aContent(13) = aContent(20) & vbCrLf & aContent(13)
sContent = Join(aContent, vbCrLf)
WriteTextFile sContent, "C:\template.txt", 0
Function ReadTextFile(sPath, lFormat)
' lFormat -2 - System default, -1 - Unicode, 0 - ASCII
With CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject").OpenTextFile(sPath, 1, False, lFormat)
ReadTextFile = ""
If Not .AtEndOfStream Then ReadTextFile = .ReadAll
.Close
End With
End Function
Sub WriteTextFile(sContent, sPath, lFormat)
' lFormat -2 - System default, -1 - Unicode, 0 - ASCII
With CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject").OpenTextFile(sPath, 2, True, lFormat)
.Write sContent
.Close
End With
End Sub
Note that it inserts the content of the line 21 before the line 14, thus preserving newline, since the content of the line 14 are newline chars. If you want just replace, then use aContent(13) = aContent(20) instead of aContent(13) = aContent(20) & vbCrLf & aContent(13).
Do Until Inp.AtEndOfStream
Count=Count + 1
Line=Inp.readline
If Count = 14 then
outp.writeline "My line 14"
Else
outp.writeline Line
End If
Loop
Is the pattern for your type of problem. Read a line, make a decision, write something.
I am trying to pass folder location as variable to a VBScript which has array to consume the location as a parameter. I don't know how to pass it, could some one please help me?
I am trying to pass following location as a variable "C:\New","C:\New1" to the below code, the script is working fine when I directly give the location, but when I tired to pass it as variable it is not working.
Code given below:
Set oParameters = WScript.Arguments
folderlocation = oParameters(0)
Dim folderarray
Dim WshShell, oExec
Dim wow()
Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Dim oAPI, oBag
Dim fso, folder, file
Dim searchFileName, renameFileTo, day
Dim i
folderarray = Array(folderlocation)
ii = 0
day = WeekDay(Now())
If day = 3 Then
aa = UBound(folderarray)
f = 0
j = 0
x = 0
Y = 0
For i = 0 To aa
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set folder = fso.GetFolder(folderarray(i))
For Each file In folder.Files
If InStr(file.Name, name) = 1 Then
ii = 1
strid = file.Name
Set re = New RegExp
re.Pattern = ".*myfile.*"
If re.Test( strid ) Then
'msgbox "File exist and the file name is """ & strid & """"
x = x+1
Else
'msgbox "file not found"
End If
Set re = Nothing
End If
Next
If x = 0 Then
ReDim Preserve wow(f)
wow(f) = folderarray(i)
f = f+1
j = j+1
Else
x = 0
End If
Next
End If
If J > 0 Then
ReDim Preserve wow(f-1)
value = Join(wow, ",")
MsgBox "Files not found in the following location(s) :" & value
Else
MsgBox "fine"
End If
To fill an array from a list of arguments you'd call the script like this:
your.vbs "C:\New" "C:\New1"
and fill the array in your.vbs like this:
size = WScript.Arguments.Unnamed.Count - 1
ReDim folderarray(size)
For i = 0 To size
folderarray(i) = WScript.Arguments.Unnamed.Item(i)
Next
If for some reason you must pass the folder list as a single argument you'd call the script like this:
your.vbs "C:\New,C:\New1"
and populate the array in your.vbs like this:
folderarray = Split(WScript.Arguments.Unnamed.Item(0), ",")
Can someone look at the below script and tell me why it's throwing this error subscript out of range error in vbscript ..In the text file there are two entries it writes to the file correctly but then it throws an error while exiting the loop so it never calls the other function..I think it's trying to run 3 times but there are just 2 entries in the text file

If your file contains trailing blank lines, applying Split() may return arrays with less than 2 elements. In that case token(1) should throw a 'subscript out of range' error.
You should always check, if Split() workes as expected:
tokens = Split(Trim(re.Replace(f.ReadLine, " ")))
If 1 = UBound(tokens) Then
extension = Split(tokens(0),".")
If 1 = UBound(extension) Then
strInputPath1 = "..." & tokens(1) & "..."
Else
... parse error ...
End If
Else
... parse error or just trailing blank lines? ...
End If
