I made a counter that works when you press the button as the action in VBScript.
my code:
Licznik_ID = Licznik_ID + 1
Dim Stuff, myFSO, WriteStuff, dateStamp
Stuff = "Whatever you want written"
Set myFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set WriteStuff = myFSO.OpenTextFile("c:\tmp\yourtextfile.txt", 2, True)
WriteStuff.WriteLine(Licznik_ID)
WriteStuff.Close
SET WriteStuff = NOTHING
SET myFSO = NOTHING
the counter variable named "Licznik_ID"
indicated by the arrow.
It is written to the file "c:\tmp\yourtextfile.txt"
And it works well.
For each time the number increases by one and is replaced and stored in the txt file.
The file contains the number 1 and the increase in the txt file appears the number 2 and so on ...
How now download the data stored with the file "c: \tmp\yourtextfile.txt" back to the variable to use it in such a way that when you start NiceForm or button has been loaded with the contents of txt file into a variable?
Set myFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Licznik_ID = myFSO.OpenTextFile("C:\tmp\yourtextfile.txt").ReadAll
Licznik_ID = Licznik_ID + 1
myFSO.OpenTextFile("C:\tmp\yourtextfile.txt",2,True).Write(Licznik_ID)
FSO is kinda weird the way it does its file modes sometimes.
edit: If you want to allow this to create the file without errors if it doesn't exist, replace line 2 with this:
If myFSO.FileExists("C:\tmp\yourtextfile.txt") Then
Licznik_ID = myFSO.OpenTextFile("C:\tmp\yourtextfile.txt").ReadAll
End If
If the file doesn't exist, Licznik_ID will be Empty. Empty + 1 = 1 in vbscript.

I have a VBScript:
Dim Stuff, myFSO, WriteStuff, dateStamp
Stuff = "Whatever you want written"
Set myFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set WriteStuff = myFSO.OpenTextFile("C:\Label_1\yourtextfile.txt", 8, True)
WriteStuff.WriteLine(var1)
WriteStuff.Close
SET WriteStuff = NOTHING
SET myFSO = NOTHING
which is placed in action in the key.
In the variable "var1" is read barcode reader, bar code EAN13 and after pressing a key to a text file "C:\Label_1\yourtextfile.txt"
is written to a new line with a value of "var1", ie. the bar code
2914750018247
Then again, when we will scan the bar code
2914750007463
and press the button
also will be saved in a text file.
Recording will look like this:
2914750018247
2914750007463
Of course, the scanned file "C:\Label_1\yourtextfile.txt" will be more, eg. 70 different codes but always EAN13.
How you can using VBScript copy or distribute 5 characters namely:
01824
00746
...
with previously stored all values (5 characters each) in the file "C:\Label_1\ yourtextfile.txt" and yet they all add up and save a new file txt when codes (with five characters each) will be just 70 in line?
Take a look at the below example, it processes the lines of source file and cut each line to substring:
sSrc = "C:\Users\DELL\Desktop\barcode.txt"
sDst = "C:\Users\DELL\Desktop\barcode_part.txt"
' Read content of the source file
sCont = ReadTextFile(sSrc, 0) ' ASCII
' Split source file string into array of lines
aLines = Split(sCont, vbCrLf)
' Loop through each of the lines in array
For i = 0 To UBound(aLines)
' Change the value of the element to cut substring
aLines(i) = Mid(aLines(i), 8, 5)
Next
' Join processed array into resulting string with line breaks
sCont = Join(aLines, vbCrLf)
' Write content to the destination file
WriteTextFile sCont, sDst, 0 ' ASCII
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
I have been toying with the below script to be able to read settings for use with my HTA (creating a game launcher).
Here is my current HTA:
http://pastebin.com/skTgqs5X
It doesn't quite work, it complains of the WScript object being required. While I understand Echo will not work like that in a HTA I am having trouble modifying the code so it will work. Even just removing all Echo references it still has an issue with objOrgIni on line 200 of the below code (with the WScript references removed):

I don't even need that level of error checking as the INI will exist etc, I just need a simple way to read from and write to an INI in my scripting. Any help you guys can give me in achieving that would be great, it's a little advanced for me just yet, but I'd love an explanation as to why it fails.
There is no easy way to use INI files with VBScript. You'd have to write the functionality yourself or find some existing code that does it.
But do you really need an INI specifically or just a way to save settings? You could just keep all of your settings in a Dictionary object and serialize it as needed.
For example, here are two functions -- LoadSettings and SaveSettings -- that do just that.
Public Function LoadSettings(strFile)
Set LoadSettings = CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")
Dim strLine, a
With CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
If Not .FileExists(strFile) Then Exit Function
With .OpenTextFile(strFile)
Do Until .AtEndOfStream
strLine = Trim(.ReadLine())
If InStr(strLine, "=") > 0 Then
a = Split(strLine, "=")
LoadSettings.Add a(0), a(1)
End If
Loop
End With
End With
End Function
Sub SaveSettings(d, strFile)
With CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject").CreateTextFile(strFile, True)
Dim k
For Each k In d
.WriteLine k & "=" & d(k)
Next
End With
End Sub
Imagine you had the following settings file saved at c:\settings.txt:
Count=2
Name=Obama
You'd use the functions above like this:
Const SETTINGS_FILE = "c:\settings.txt"
Dim Settings
Set Settings = LoadSettings(SETTINGS_FILE)
' Show all settings...
WScript.Echo Join(Settings.Keys, ", ") ' => Count, Name
' Query a setting...
WScript.Echo Settings("Count") ' => 2
' Update a setting...
Settings("Count") = Settings("Count") + 1
' Add a setting...
Settings("New") = 1
' Save settings...
SaveSettings Settings, SETTINGS_FILE
I am currently working on a school assignment to compare strings within text files. These text files contains paths of folder directories. If a directory is not found on the other textfile, it will create that directory, else nothing will happen.
diretory1.txt contains directory strings that are:
C:\mcgfiles\avp
C:\mcgfiles\temp
C:\mcgfiles\logs\activity
C:\mcgfiles\logs\program
C:\mcgfiles\logs\status
C:\mcgfiles\generatedhtml
and diretory2.txt, contains the following
C:\mcgfiles
C:\mcgfiles\avp
C:\mcgfiles\temp
C:\mcgfiles\logs
C:\mcgfiles\logs\activity
C:\mcgfiles\logs\program
C:\mcgfiles\logs\status
C:\mcgfiles\generatedhtml
In the case of my textfiles, directories "C:\mcgfiles" and "C:\mcgfiles\logs" will be created on my drive C:\ since they are missing.
Here is the code I used:
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Const ForReading = 1
Set objFile1 = objFSO.OpenTextFile("C:\scripts\directory1.txt", ForReading)
strAddresses = objFile1.ReadAll
objFile1.Close
Set objFile2 = objFSO.OpenTextFile("C:\scripts\directory2.txt", ForReading)
Do Until objFile2.AtEndOfStream
strCurrent = objFile2.ReadLine
If InStr(strAddresses, strCurrent) = 0 Then
objFSO.CreateFolder(strCurrent)
End If
Loop
It works fine when I use "C:\mcgfiles\temp" as the missing directory. But it cant differentiate what's missing when I use "C:\mcgfiles" or "C:\mcgfiles\logs". Maybe its because I used InStr function and it considers "C:\mcgfiles" and "C:\mcgfiles\logs" not missing since it can also be found in "C:\mcgfiles\logs\activity" etc.
I tried to use strComp but still nothing happens. Please help. Thank you
InStr() "returns the position of the first occurrence of one string within another". So "C:\mcgfiles" is found in "C:\mcgfiles\logs". If all of the pathes in the string you search in are terminated by an EOL marker (eg.g vbCrLf) you can use target & EOL as the needle:
>> haystack = "c:\a\b;c:\a;"
>> eol = ";"
>> needle = "c:\a" & eol
>> WScript.Echo InStr(haystack, needle)
>>
8
Other techniques - e.g. using a dictionary of the pathes - are possible, but would need more work.
I have two .txt files; I have written a VBscript to identify the two last modified files. The code echoes the two modified files separately. I need to merge these two modified files and provide a different name with a date stamp.
Example:
txt1.txt
txt2.txt
After merge:
txt09022011.txt
Assuming you just want to dump the contents of each text file in sequence into a new text file:
Dim strInputPath1, strInputPath2, strOutputPath
Dim txsInput1, txsInput2, txsOutput
Dim FSO
Set FSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
strInputPath1 = "C:\txt1.txt"
strInputPath2 = "C:\txt2.txt"
strOutputPath = "C:\txt" & Format(Now, "ddmmyyyy") & ".txt"
' For the timestamp I use Now (today's date). Can also choose some other date.
Set txsInput1 = FSO.OpenTextFile(strInputPath1, 1)
Set txsInput2 = FSO.OpenTextFile(strInputPath2, 1)
Set txsOutput = FSO.CreateTextFile(strOutputPath)
txsOutput.Write txsInput1.ReadAll
txsOutput.Write txsInput2.ReadAll
txsInput1.Close
txsInput2.Close
txsOutput.Close
Here I have a small VBS script that helps me append a new line to a table in MS "Word" 2003:
Set wd = CreateObject("Word.Application")
wd.Visible = True
Set doc = wd.Documents.Open ("c:\addtotable.doc")
Set r = doc.Tables(1).Rows.Add
aa = Split("turtle,dog,rooster,maple", ",")
For i = 0 To r.Cells.Count - 1
r.Cells(i + 1).Range.Text = aa(i)
Next
It works fine, but it doesn't save anything. I want it to save the performed changes.
By the method of macro-recording in the "Word" I got this macro command that saves active "Word" document:
ActiveDocument.Save
So, I decided to append this macro to the VBS script above:
Set wd = CreateObject("Word.Application")
wd.Visible = True
Set doc = wd.Documents.Open ("c:\addtotable.doc")
Set r = doc.Tables(1).Rows.Add
aa = Split("turtle,dog,rooster,maple", ",")
For i = 0 To r.Cells.Count - 1
r.Cells(i + 1).Range.Text = aa(i)
Next
ActiveDocument.Save
But it doesn't save anything. What am I doing wrong here?
Have you already tried calling doc.Save after making those changes? If that doesn't work:
The issue is that ActiveDocument doesn't automatically reference what you think it does in VBScript the way it does in Word's VBA.
Try setting a new variable to the active document, like so:
Dim activeDoc
Set activeDoc = wd.ActiveDocument
activeDoc.Save
I think you have to use ActiveDocument.SaveAs("C:\addtotable.doc"); because I can't find any documentation for .Save. SaveAs accepts a second parameter which specifies what format to save it in. Pastebin of the parameters here.
