I am trying to create a vbscript macro which would get the folder location in which the macro is stored and create the output files into the same folder. I am using the below code but its not getting the correct location
Set obj1FSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
folderLoc = obj1FSO.GetParentFolderName("\Cubes_Macro_V5.zmc")
It would then use the folderLoc variable and append the output file name to it in order to create the output file in the same folder as where the macro is stored.
Set repFso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set repFile = repFso.CreateTextFile(folderLoc & "RCHT_OPTION4_REPORT.txt", True)
The Macro is stored in a folder in the D:\ drive but when I run the above segment of code it get the location for the desktop.

That is not how the method works - it extracts the "parent" from the string provided.
Option Explicit
Dim fso,GetTheParent
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
GetTheParent = fso.GetParentFolderName("C:\Windows")
wscript.echo "Attempt 1:" & "'" & GetTheParent & "'"
GetTheParent = fso.GetParentFolderName("\Windows")
wscript.echo "Attempt 2:" & "'" & GetTheParent & "'"
GetTheParent = fso.GetParentFolderName("Windows")
wscript.echo "Attempt 3:" & "'" & GetTheParent & "'"
GetTheParent = fso.GetParentFolderName("C:\WINDOWS\system32")
wscript.echo "Attempt 4:" & "'" & GetTheParent & "'"
GetTheParent = fso.GetParentFolderName("\WINDOWS\system32")
wscript.echo "Attempt 5:" & "'" & GetTheParent & "'"
Results:
Attempt 1:'C:\'
Attempt 2:''
Attempt 3:''
Attempt 4:'C:\WINDOWS'
Attempt 5:'\WINDOWS'
There is a difference between the current directory ('where you are when you start the process') and the script's directory:
>> WScript.Echo 0, goFS.GetAbsolutePathName(".\")
>> WScript.Echo 1, goWS.CurrentDirectory
>> WScript.Echo 2, goFS.GetParentFolderName(WScript.ScriptFullName)
>>
0 C:\Documents and Settings\eh
1 C:\Documents and Settings\eh
2 M:\bin
(I called my REPL/Interactive VBS shell that resides in m:\bin from my home directory)
I don't know if "Cubes_Macro_V5.zmc" is a VBScript file (with a special extension that is loaded by whatever agent you use via w|cscript.exe), but check if WScript.ScriptFullName has the expected content and apply .GetParentFolderName.
If that fails, you need to determine the folder that your agent uses for macros and feed that directory to .BuildPath.
On second thought:
Voodoo but easy to test: Does
WScript.Echo 0, goFS.GetAbsolutePathName(".\Cubes_Macro_V5.zmc")
deliver the desired result?

I'm trying to copy all filenames list on the Recycle Bin in Windows 10.
I go to Command Prompt:
C:\>cd C:/$Recycle.Bin

The VBScript version of #boxdog answer:
Set objShellApp = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
Set objSpecialFolder = objShellApp.NameSpace(10) '10 = Recyle Bin
For Each objFolder In objSpecialFolder.Items
WScript.Echo "FileName = " & objFolder.Name & vbTab & "Original Path = " & objFolder.ExtendedProperty("{9B174B33-40FF-11D2-A27E-00C04FC30871} 2")
Next
Answering this in case anyone is looking for VBS only solution.
In PowerShell, you can list the current path and original name/location of the Recycle Bin contents like This:
$shell = New-Object -ComObject Shell.Application
$shell.NameSpace(0x0a).Items() |
Select-Object #{Label="OriginalLocation";Expression={$_.ExtendedProperty("{9B174B33-40FF-11D2-A27E-00C04FC30871} 2")}},Name, Path
To copy the items, you can do this:
$shell.NameSpace(0x0a).Items() |
Copy-Item -Destination "C:\RecoveredFiles\$($_.Name)" -Recurse -Force
Note that this doesn't take into account any name-clashes - you'll need to test for that and adjust accordingly.
I am trying to create a textfile in a temp directory...
I don't understand what I am doing wrong...
My Error is:
Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a004c'
Path not found
/racklabels/desktop/printLabel.asp, line 128
There is a temp directory on my server I am running this from...
strFileNameQAD = "C:\temp\" & strFileNameRBB
'Create the files, write to them & close them.
If bBackFlush = True Then
Set filQAD = objFileSys.CreateTextFile(strFileNameQAD)
filQAD.WriteLine ("H::" & strPart & strLocation & strSite & strQty & strSerial & strRef & strUserID & strAccount & strSubAccount & strCostCenter & strEffDate & strYes)
filQAD.WriteLine ("D::" & strFromLocation & strNo & strUserID)
filQAD.Close
Set filQAD = Nothing
End If
The FileSystemObject is complaining about the path contained in the strFileNameQAD, try placing a Response.Write strFileNameQAD : Response.Flush before the offending line to see what strFileNameQAD outputs as.
Note: Response.Flush causes the server to write the response headers and buffer, so even if your script errors the output will be shown first.
strFileNameQAD = "C:\temp\" & strFileNameRBB
'Create the files, write to them & close them.
If bBackFlush = True Then
'Output strFileNameQAD variable to check content
Response.Write strFileNameQAD : Response.Flush
Set filQAD = objFileSys.CreateTextFile(strFileNameQAD)
filQAD.WriteLine ("H::" & strPart & strLocation & strSite & strQty & strSerial & strRef & strUserID & strAccount & strSubAccount & strCostCenter & strEffDate & strYes)
filQAD.WriteLine ("D::" & strFromLocation & strNo & strUserID)
filQAD.Close
Set filQAD = Nothing
End If
Does the strFileNameQAD variable contain the expected path? My guess would be that strFileNameRBB is empty so the FileSystemObject sees C:\temp\ but no file to create, hence the error.
Good morning all,
I have been trying to pull together a VBscript that takes a file path and a file name (that may have a wildcard in it) from the user when the script is exicuted. The script will then check the specified directory for a file that matches the provided file name and then looks at the last modified date to see if it was created/modified within a certain time frame (i.e. 6am plus or minus 5 minutes). It would then copy said file into a zip file.
So far I have been able to get the arguments working, and I have it setup to grab the current time, look at the files in the folder and match a hard coded filename to one in the folder. This is what I have thus far.
currentTime = Now()
filePath = Wscript.Arguments.Item(0)
fileName = Wscript.Arguments.Item(1)
Set fileSystem = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set directory = fileSystem.GetFolder(filePath)
For each file in directory.Files
If file.Name = fileName Then
Wscript.echo file.Name & " " & file.DateLastModified
end if
Next
I am a VBscript noob and I am looking forward to learning the way!

EDIT..........
You can use a WMI event script with the __InstanceCreationEvent to monitor for new file creation in a specific folder. It looks like this:
strSource = "C:\\somefilepath\\withdoubleshlashes"
strComputer = "."
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" & strComputer & "rootcimv2")
Set colEvents = objWMIService.ExecNotificationQuery _
("SELECT * FROM __InstanceCreationEvent WITHIN 10 WHERE " _
& "Targetinstance ISA 'CIM_DirectoryContainsFile' AND " _
& "TargetInstance.GroupComponent= " _
& "'Win32_Directory.Name=""" & strSource & """'")
Do While True
Set objEvent = colEvents.NextEvent()
copyFile(objEvent.TargetInstance.PartComponent)
Loop
For a full explanation, you can read Monitoring and Archiving Newly Created Files on my blog.
This answer uses Regular Expressions. To make it work it rewrites your pattern format into regular expression format. e.g. *.txt will become ^.*[.]txt$.
The following lists text files in C:\Temp last modified between 5:55 AM and 6:05 AM:
strPath = "C:\Temp"
strFile = "*.txt"
startTime = 555
endTime = 605
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set folder = fso.GetFolder(strPath)
Set files = folder.Files
Set re = New RegExp
re.IgnoreCase = true
re.Pattern = "^" + Replace(Replace(strFile, ".", "[.]"), "*", ".*") + "$"
For Each f in Files
Set matches = re.Execute(f.Name)
If matches.Count > 0 Then
HM = Hour(f.DateLastAccessed) * 100 + Minute(f.DateLastAccessed)
If HM >= startTime And HM <= endTime Then
WScript.Echo f.Name, f.DateLastAccessed
End If
End If
Next

Microsoft Beefs Up VBScript with Regular Expressions
Hey, Scripting Guy! Raising Eyebrows on Regular Expressions
For your example, the easiest way to do this is to use the inStr (In String)function. I find it works in 99% of my wild card tasks. So, in your example, instead of using:
If file.Name = fileName Then
use:
If inStr(file.Name, filename) Then
This doesn't actually allow for wildcards(*) as it won't find a match(with the asterisk in the argument), so you would need to strip the wildcard from the string and replace it with nothing (or just train the user to not use wildcards):
Replace(filename,"*", "")
However, the inStr function does allow for partial or full matches which makes it suitable for most wildcard tasks. Therefore, if your file name is pic.jpg, whether the user searches for:
pic or jpg or p or c or pi etc.
It will return a match. Keep in mind though, that the instr function returns a number where the match shows up in the string. So, if it doesn't create a match, the result will be 0. I've run into examples where NOT doesn't work or I've needed to use the full syntax which in this case would be:
If inStr(file.Name, filename)<>0 Then
I have a question regarding how I should go about fixing an error that I am seeing when running my script. I am pretty sure it has to do with the way in which I am using the %COMPUTERNAME% environment variable.
What my script does is it zips up some files locally, then copies them using robocopy to a mounted or shared drive, then checks to see if the file sizes are the same, and if they are then it deletes the files on the original computer. If any step in the process produces an error it exits the script.
Now the script works perfectly fine if I do not add in the "%COMPUTERNAME%" to the final destination path. (Where the zipped files will eventually be) I need the zipped files to be placed into their own folders with the name of the host from which it originated, because this script will be run on many different machines all going to the same location.
So basically it needs to look something like this:
E:\LocalHostName\TestZip.zip
Now the script will build the folder just fine when the zipped files are being copied over, the problem occurs once the file size check starts. I am getting the error of "File not found" for the line "FileToBeCompared2". I understand why the error is being produced, because it is not recogizing the %COMPUTERNAME% environment variable, but I do not know how to go about addressing this issue.
I am also going to try to add in some functionality where if an error occurs a text file with something like "An error occured during the script" is produced in the output folder.
Thank you for all your help in advance. The script is found below:
'-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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.
