I am having trouble displaying a log file in the TextArea of a HTA while a robocopy script is running.
The script is simple enough, the user has one button to press to start the process, selects where they want to back up their data to, a Robocopy runs in the background and logs the work.
I cannot get the .log file to display live during the process and am always hit with an error 800A01B6.

I'm running a few subs once the user submits the form. However, the timer hangs as soon as the vbs kicks off the portion of the code which launch excel in the back and runs a macro. Wondering how I can improve my code to fix this/ if it's possible. Thanks in advance.

So in case anyone runs into this issue, the way this could be resolved is to separate the sub that actually calls the excel sheet and triggers the macro and simply call the vbs versus the excel workbook.
I.e.
Sub ExecuteScoreCard()
sleepy
disablebtns
sleepy
ProgressBarViz
sleepy

set fso = Nothing
set wsh = Nothing
Sleep 10

sitecode = Wscript.Arguments(0)
Else
WScript.Quit

And this was not my answer but another user on expert-exchange. Works perfectly though.
I am using some vbscript to search for string inside a directory. Now I need my script to search for multiple instance of string in each file and return line number or some other identifiable information. My current vbscript is :-
Sub ProcessFolder(FolderPath)
On Error Resume Next
Set fldr = fso.GetFolder(FolderPath)
Set Fls = fldr.files
For Each thing in Fls
Set contents = thing.OpenAsTextStream
If err.number = 0 then
Test = Instr(contents.readall, searchterm)
If Isnull(test) = false then If Test > 0 then ObjOutFile.WriteLine thing.path
demo.innerHtml = demo.innerHtml & thing.path & "<br>"
Else
err.clear
End If
Next
Set fldrs = fldr.subfolders
For Each thing in fldrs
ProcessFolder thing.path
Next
End Sub
I need to iterate through lines of each file to get line numbers containing string.
Reads each line and searches each line. Also remembers the previous search and directory.
Two issues that you can fix.
It will now hits the 5 million statement timeout message esp if going through exe files.
It won't find Unicode text.
This is the third time I've written the program.

How to read something from Command prompt using Vbscript ?
For example :
If I run date /T command it will return current system date.
So how to read the output date ?
Thanks !
Something like that :

You can use the WshScriptExec object obtained from %comspec% /c date /T:
>> WScript.Echo CreateObject("WScript.Shell").Exec("%comspec% /c date /T").Stdout.ReadAll()
>>
10.02.2016
but a simple
>> WScript.Echo Date()
>>
10.02.2016
is less risky.

I am new to posting to Stack but have been using this site to solve a lot of coding issues so I know some of the basics. I have tried for hours (that's a lot for me on one issue) to get past this problem. I am creating a local tool (HTA) to eventually manage CSV files however I am stuck on this first part.
I am creating an explorer type selection tool where you pick the root folder it will load each subfolder as a button, it works great except if a subfolder has a space it spits out "Unterminated String Constant". I have worked around most the issues but since I want it to call back using this name I can not simply take out the space or replace it because clicking it's button will not work.
Any help would be VERY appreciated!
P.S. It's unfinished and I am so sorry there are no comments or descriptions...
P.S.S. Please let me know any noob things you see too... whether it be site etiquette, or coding. Thanks!!! Stackoverflow has been a huge help for me!!!
Issue is on line:
strHtml = strHtml & "<td><input type=button value='" & strFolderName & "' name=btn_'" & strFolderName & "' onClick=btnCall('" & objFolder.Name & "')></td><Br>"

Wrong quote placement. Splitted to make it more visible
Dim td
td = Array( _
"<td>" _
, "<input type='button'" _
, " value='", objFolder.Name, "'" _
, " name='btn_" , strFolderName, "'" _
, " onClick='btnCall(""" , objFolder.Name , """)'" _
, "></td><br>" _
)
strHtml = strHtml & Join(td,"")
Try using this helpful Function DblQuote(Str) to add the double quotes into a variable
Function DblQuote(Str)
DblQuote = Chr(34) & Str & Chr(34)
End Function
So your code become something like that :
<html>
<head>
<title>CSV Menu Selector</title>
<hta:application
scroll="no"
singleinstance="no"
windowstate="normal"
>
</head>
<script type="text/vbscript">
Dim objPath
Dim Master
Dim Master1
Dim g_date_input ' globally saved input object
Function GetDate(obj)
div1.style.visibility="visible"
set g_date_input = obj
End Function
Sub cal1_click()
g_date_input.value = cal1
div1.style.visibility="hidden"
End Sub
Function DblQuote(Str)
DblQuote = Chr(34) & Str & Chr(34)
End Function
