I'm trying to write a script in VBS to show the file properties dialog/sheet for multiple items. Those items will be all of the items in a parent folder (e.g. all items in W:\).
Essentially, I'm trying to get the properties dialog to show the number of files in a drive. Right-clicking on the drive and selecting Properties does not show the number of files. You would instead need to go into the first level of the drive, select all folders/files, and then right-click and select Properties.
I have customised some code (below) I've found on the internet to bring up the file properties dialog/sheet for either a specific folder, or a drive. I have no idea what I could further change to get the properties dialog for all files and folder of a specified drive. Perhaps getting all folders/files of the drive into an array and then working with that?
Please note I'm looking for the actual properties dialog, and not just a simple return of the total number of files (I know how to do this).
Any help would be appreciated! Thanks :)
Code:
dim objShell, objFSO, folParent, sParent, filTarget, sFileName, sOutput, fivVerbs, iVerb, vVerb, fvbVerb, testItemsParent, TestMappedDestination
set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
set objShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
const mappedDestination = "c:\"
vVerb = "P&roperties"
sParent = objFSO.GetParentFolderName(mappedDestination)
sFileName = objFSO.GetFileName(mappedDestination)
If Len(mappedDestination) = 3 then
nsTarget = &H11
TestMappedDestination = "(" & UCase(Left(mappedDestination,2)) & ")"
Else
nsTarget = sParent
TestMappedDestination = UCase(sFileName)
End If
set folParent = objShell.Namespace(nsTarget)
For each filTarget in folParent.Items
If Len(mappedDestination) = 3 then
testItemsParent = UCase(Right(filTarget,4))
Else
testItemsParent = UCase(filTarget)
End if
If testItemsParent = TestMappedDestination then
Set fivVerbs = filTarget.Verbs
For iVerb = 0 to fivVerbs.Count - 1
If fivVerbs.Item(iVerb).Name = vVerb then
Set fvbVerb = fivVerbs.Item(iVerb)
fvbVerb.DoIt()
filTarget.InvokeVerbEx fvbVerb.Name, ""
Msgbox "Placeholder msgbox to keep properties dialog/sheet from disappearing on script completion"
Exit for
End if
Next

I have this below vbscript to get one of the details of a file (we get by View->Choose Details in active folder window) which will retrieve Title detail/property of that file.
folder = "D:\StrongBox\Desktop\CSS The Complete Guide\01 Getting Started"
filename = "001 Introduction.mp4"
Set ShellObj = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
Set FolderObj = ShellObj.Namespace(folder)
MsgBox FolderObj.GetDetailsOf(FolderObj.Parsename(filename), 21)
How to set the detail of the the file?
I could not find a function like SetDetailsOf.
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.
I have next to zero knowledge on vbs scripting but I have managed to cobble a few together to copy files from one directory to another and delete files in a directory but I've not been able to find anything specifically what I'm now after.
I'm looking to write a vbs script to do the following - copy file/s beginning with XXX or YYY or ZZZ from directory A to directory B.
I've had a look around and cannot quite find what I'm looking for, they all seem far too complex for what I need and involve the latest date or parsing a string within the files etc.
I'm quite sure this is simple but as stated at the top I really do not know what I'm doing so any help would be greatly appreciated.
The following is what I have for copying all files from one directory to another with a progress bar so a amendment to this would be great.
Const FOF_CREATEPROGRESSDLG = &H0&
' copy test 1 to test 2
strTargetFolder = "C:\test2\"
Set objShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
Set objFolder = objShell.NameSpace(strTargetFolder)
objFolder.CopyHere "C:\test1\*.*", FOF_CREATEPROGRESSDLG
Not sure as of yet how to get this in one big progress indicator. Currently it will show progress for each individual file.
Const FOF_CREATEPROGRESSDLG = &H0&
strSourceFolder = "C:\test1\"
strTargetFolder = "C:\test2\"
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set objSourceFolder = objFSO.GetFolder(strSourceFolder)
Set objFiles = objSourceFolder.Files
Set objShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
Set objTargetFolder = objShell.NameSpace(strTargetFolder)
For Each objSingleFile in objFiles
If (InStr(1,objSingleFile.Name,"xxx",vbTextCompare) = 1) Or _
(InStr(1,objSingleFile.Name,"yyy",vbTextCompare) = 1) Or _
(InStr(1,objSingleFile.Name,"zzz",vbTextCompare) = 1) Then
' The file name starts with one the flagged keywords
objTargetFolder.CopyHere objSingleFile.Path, FOF_CREATEPROGRESSDLG
End If
Next
Keep your strTargetFolder code which is used for the actual copy procedure used at the end of the script. Using the FileSystemObject objFSO we cycle through all the files of the directory c:\test1. Each file name is then checked to see if it starts with either of 3 different strings. The comparison is done using vbTextCompare which essentially has it running case insensitive. If a match is found then, using your original code, copy the file to the target directory with progress.
Currently this is not going to recursively navigate all subfolders for file but you could make a recursive function for that.
Use the FileSystemObject in combination with a regular expression:
src = "C:\test1"
dst = "C:\test2"
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set re = New RegExp
re.Pattern = "^(XXX|YYY|ZZZ)"
For Each f In fso.GetFolder(src).Files
If re.Test(f.Name) Then f.Copy dst & "\"
Next
The code below looks in the test folder for any files that have not been accessed in over 5 days, if it finds one it assigns mRoot the file path and then whats NOT WORKING is using the Replace method to look inside the mRoot string for the IP and replace it with the new one, I have it show me what mRoot looks like in a pop up just to make sure it changes(or doesn't). I can't seem to get the IP to change. Can anyone help out? I'm very new to VBS so I'm hoping this is obvious (whether it is doable or not). Thanks.
Set oFileSys = WScript.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

For Each file in aFiles
FileAccessed = FormatDateTime(file.DateLastAccessed, "2")

How to automate the process to show my public folder calender in Mail Favorite folder?
I wanted to do it either by login script or by group policy.
I am using Microsoft Exchange server 2007 with Windows Server 2008 R2 and Domain controller running Windows Server 2003 R2.
All workstation system have either Outlook 2010 or Outlook 2007.
While searching on this I found the script below, but by this script (already modified the path) I am just able to make public folder calender to show in public folder favorite but not in mail favorite folder.
Const olPublicFoldersAllPublicFolders = 18
Dim olkApp, olkSes, olkFolder
Set olkApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set olkSes = olkApp.GetNameSpace("MAPI")
'Change the profile name on the next line'
olkSes.Logon "Outlook"
'Change the folder name on the next line. Repeat the next two lines for each folder
you want to add.'
Set olkFolder =
olkSes.GetDefaultFolder(olPublicFoldersAllPublicFolders).Folders("Public
calender").Folders("p cal")
olkFolder.AddToPFFavorites
'Change the folder name on the next line. Repeat the next two lines for each folder
you want to add.'
Set olkFolder = OpenOutlookFolder("Public Folders\Favorites\P cal")
AddFavoriteFolder olkFolder
olkSes.Logoff
Set olkApp = Nothing
Set olkSes = Nothing
Set olkFolder = Nothing
WScript.Quit
Sub AddFavoriteFolder(olkFolder)
' Purpose: Add a folder to Favorite Folders.'
' Written: 5/2/2009'
' Author: BlueDevilFan'
' Outlook: 2007'
Const olModuleMail = 0
Const olFavoriteFoldersGroup = 4
Dim olkPane, olkModule, olkGroup
Set olkPane = olkApp.ActiveExplorer.NavigationPane
Set olkModule = olkPane.Modules.GetNavigationModule(olModuleMail)
Set olkGroup =
olkModule.NavigationGroups.GetDefaultNavigationGroup(olFavoriteFoldersGroup)
olkGroup.NavigationFolders.Add olkFolder
Set olkPane = Nothing
Set olkModule = Nothing
Set olkGroup = Nothing
End Sub
Function OpenOutlookFolder(strFolderPath)
' Purpose: Opens an Outlook folder from a folder path.'

On Error Resume Next

Do While Left(strFolderPath, 1) = "\"
strFolderPath = Right(strFolderPath, Len(strFolderPath) - 1)
Loop
arrFolders = Split(strFolderPath, "\")
For Each varFolder In arrFolders
Select Case bolBeyondRoot
Case False
Set OpenOutlookFolder = olkSes.Folders(varFolder)

End Select
If Err.Number <> 0 Then
Set OpenOutlookFolder = Nothing
Exit For

You can't do this. You can only add mail folders or search folders to the Mail Favorites view. Quoting Outlook's help, Favorites contain "shortcuts to folders such as your Inbox, Sent Items, and Search Folders. You can add, remove, and arrange folders [...] access your mail folders more easily" (my emphasis).
From MSFT's point of view, this is logically consistent.
Adding a public object to your public folder favorites is the type of activity that a user is expected to do infrequently. So it's not appropriate to handle that in a login script. It's like adding resources to your personal library of information, eg a folder with project status or manuals.
Adding a mail folder to your Mail Favorites is a quick and dirty trick for frequently used items. This is more like adding a bookmark.
You could argue that if you have to set up a large number of users that all need access to a public folder, that it makes sense to handle that in a login script, and that is fine, but again, it would be adding it to the public folder favotires, not the mail one....and you've have to have code to not create the favorite if it already existed.
