I'm currently making a vbs that gives you 4 letters and you can enter one of them in an input box and depending on the letter it will run a certain program. I have this so far
Dim Input
A=Notepad
B=Paint
Input = InputBox("Please enter one of the listed letters!" & vbNewLine & "A. Notepad" & vbNewline & "B. Paint" & vbNewLine & "C." & vbNewLine & "D.", "Abracadabra")
and then if they entered A as an example it would run this script.
Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WshShell.Run "c:\windows\System32\notepad.exe"
My problem however is I can't get and if else structure working to support all 4 letters and stuff. I have no idea how to do this for syntax and how I'd structure it.
Thanks in advance

See documentation.

you could try something like:
If Input = "A" Then
...
ElseIf Input = "B" Then
...
End If

I'm doing a lab, and the instructions say to check if a file exists. It suggests using the boolean Not to do it.
Here's my code, but no matter what I do, I can't get past the end of the loop. I keep getting the error message that says the file doesn't exist.
Const Read = 1, Write = 2, Append = 8, ASCII = 0
FileName = "C:\users\gryphon\IP_Addresses.csv"
ipAddrStr = ""
NewRoom = 106
Comp1_IP = "192.168.10.59"
Comp2_IP = "192.168.10.60"
Comp3_IP = "192.168.10.61"
Comp4_IP = "192.168.10.61"
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
ipAddrStr = CStr(NewRoom) & "1," & CStr(Comp1_IP) & CStr(NewRoom) & "2," & _
CStr(Comp2_IP) & CStr(NewRoom) & "3," & CStr(Comp3_IP) & _
CStr(NewRoom) & "4," & CStr(Comp4_IP)
If Not fso.FileExists("FileName") Then
WScript.StdOut.WriteLine(Chr(7) & Chr(7))
WScript.Echo "File Does Not Exist." & vbCrLf & _
"You Must Create the File Before You can Read the File."
WScript.Quit
End If
What am I doing wrong, and how do I fix it? This has to be done by 04DEC2016 at 11PM PST. I asked my instructor for help last Monday, and I'm still waiting to hear back.
remove the double quotes from fso.fileExists("FileName"),because of that it is taking the string Filename instead of the value of Filename variable
If NOT fso.FileExists(FileName) Then
WScript.StdOut.WriteLine(Chr(7) & chr(7))
WScript.Echo "File Does Not Exist." & vbcrlf & _
"You Must Create the File Before You can Read the File."
WScript.Quit
End If
I'm completely new to scripting and am trying to mess around with it and start learning. I've done a couple WScript.Echo commands displaying a message or adding two numbers. I copied the below code from a MS article I was reading on the Echo method.
It seems it is having issues with <package>. Is this an unacceptable way to start a script? What else would I need to do to get this example code to work on my machine?
Also, can't get the code to post in my question. Indenting 4 spaces doesn't do anything.
The sample code in that article is for .wsf files, not for .vbs files. If you want to use the latter: strip the XML tags from the sample code and it should work.
Set WshNetwork = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Network")
Set oDrives = WshNetwork.EnumNetworkDrives
Set oPrinters = WshNetwork.EnumPrinterConnections
WScript.Echo "Domain = " & WshNetwork.UserDomain
WScript.Echo "Computer Name = " & WshNetwork.ComputerName
WScript.Echo "User Name = " & WshNetwork.UserName
WScript.Echo
WScript.Echo "Network drive mappings:"
For i = 0 to oDrives.Count - 1 Step 2
WScript.Echo "Drive " & oDrives.Item(i) & " = " & oDrives.Item(i+1)
Next
WScript.Echo
WScript.Echo "Network printer mappings:"
For i = 0 to oPrinters.Count - 1 Step 2
WScript.Echo "Port " & oPrinters.Item(i) & " = " & oPrinters.Item(i+1)
Next
i want .vbs script, to open multiple large files .vbs [i want to Open .vbs one by one] that do not make me, lag in PC.
0001.vbs, 0002.vbs, 0003.vbs, 0004.vbs
is can be different names like:
Anna.vbs, Diana.vbs, Antony.vbs, Andy.vbs
Example:
run C:\0001.vbs
MsgBox "0001.vbs IS END"
Next Open run C:\0002.vbs
MsgBox YES NO
MsgBox "0002.vbs IS END"
Next Open run C:\0003.vbs
MsgBox YES NO
MsgBox "0003.vbs IS END"
Next Open run C:\0004.vbs
MsgBox YES NO
MsgBox "0004.vbs IS END"
Thank you for you help.
Set Shell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
For i = 1 To 4
strFile = Right("0000" & i, 4) & ".vbs"
If MsgBox("Would you like to run " & strFile & "?", vbYesNo Or vbQuestion) = vbYes Then
Shell.Run "c:\" & strFile, 1, True
MsgBox strFile & " IS END"
End If
Next
Just make sure you pass True as the last parameter to Shell.Run so that this script waits until the others are done before reporting that they've ended.
Edit: To answer your comment about using names, you can loop through an array created on-the-fly.
For Each strName In Array("Anna", "Diana", "Antony", "Andy")
Next
To not make you wait for each sub process/.vbs before you start the next, don't use the 3rd/wait/true parameter to the .Run method:
a.vbs
Option Explicit
Dim oWSH : Set oWSH = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Dim v
For v = 0 To 1
oWSH.Run "cscript.exe " & v & ".vbs", 0, False
Next
MsgBox WScript.ScriptName & " done. " & Now()
0.vbs, 1.vbs
Option Explicit
Randomize
WScript.Sleep Rnd() * 1000
MsgBox WScript.ScriptName & " done. " & Now()
Evidence:
As you can see, a.vbs is finished first and 0.vbs and 1.vbs terminate in random/not in call order.
We have
0001.vbs, 0002.vbs, 0003.vbs, 0004.vbs
Assuming that you have this script file with the after mentioned files in the same directory.
If not, just modify the full path of your vbs files you want to run.
Instead of
WshShell.Run ".\0001.vbs"
You use for example:
WshShell.Run "c:\indel\0001.vbs"
This is the script:
Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WshShell.Run ".\0001.vbs"
WshShell.Run ".\0002.vbs"
WshShell.Run ".\0003.vbs"
WshShell.Run ".\0004.vbs"
What you need to do is make this code
do
msgbox("haha you cant close this")
CreateObject ("WScript.Shell").Run(".\Duplicate.vbs")
loop

Hey I wrote this script delete shares of a computer but when I run my script it repeats the same wscript.echo statating the share being deleted. Why does my code never end when run How do I fix that.
My fumction:
'The function that is called to run the command Line that deletes a specific share from a pc
Function DeleteThisShare(Share)
Dim objShell
'Logging The deleted Approved Shares
objDeletedFile.WriteLine (Now & " - Removed share " & Trim(Share))
DeleteThisShare = "net share " & chr(34) & Share & chr(34) &" /DELETE"
Wscript.echo DeleteThisShare
Set objShell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
objShell.Run DeleteThisShare
End Function
My loops:
'Compares The UnApproved Shares to the Current Shares
For Each objItem In colItems
Dim StrNonUnapprovedShares, Item
StrCurrentShares = objItem.name
if instr(AdminShares,lcase(objitem.name)) > 0 or mid(objitem.name,2,1) = "$" or left(lcase(objitem.name),10) = "pkgsvrhost" then
'Skipping known admin share
Else
For each Item in arrUnApprovedLines
If Lcase(Item) = Lcase(strCurrentShares) Then
StrNonUnapprovedShares = (StrNonUnapprovedShares & strCurrentShares & vbCrLf)
End If
Next
End If
Next
Dim notUnapprovedShares, notUnapprovedLines
notUnapprovedLines = StrNonUnapprovedShares
notUnapprovedLines = Split(notUnapprovedLines, vbCrLf)
Dim y, Line2
For y = 0 to uBound(notUnapprovedLines)
Line2 = Trim(notUnapprovedLines(y))
If len(Line2) > 0 Then
DeleteThisShare(Line2)
End If
Next
I think the problem is caused by using the function name as a variable. That's okay with VB that you're compiling, but I don't think VBScript recognizes it in the same way. Use a separate variable name in place of DeleteThisShare, e.g. strDeleteThisShare.
If I had to guess it's because you're creating a recursive loop by having your script echo the DeleteThisShare function. The function gets to that line and is called again before it's able to carry on.
Try to only assign values to the result of the function and use local variables to store any other debugging / temporary values.
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
