I'm having an use where the <input type="file"> is locking the file for the ADODB.recordset.
If I hardcode the filepath the code runs without an issue however as soon as I browse using input type of file and select the hardcoded file it locks the file and I can no longer access it via the recordset.
I've tried just around everything I can think of without any success. I know its a result of the input browse function because if I select another file within the same directory or click the process button without browsing the code runs as it should.
Below is the relevant html and vbscript. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?

I had exactly this problem today. I got around it by making a copy of the input file in a subfolder, then connecting to that with the ADODB.Connection
dim txtfile: txtfile = document.getElementById("filename").Value
dim fso: set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
dim tablename: tablename = fso.GetFileName(txtfile)
' we'll create the folder as a subfolder to the current one
dim currentfolder: currentfolder = fso.GetAbsolutePathName(".")
' create new paths until we have a new one
dim newpath: newpath = fso.BuildPath(currentfolder, fso.GetTempName())
do while fso.folderExists(newpath)
newpath = fso.BuildPath(currentfolder, fso.GetTempName())
loop
' create the folder & copy the input file
fso.createFolder newpath
fso.copyfile txtfile, fso.buildpath(newpath, tablename)
'connect and process
ado.ConnectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" & _
"Data Source=" & newpath & ";" & _
"Extended Properties=""text;HDR=YES;FMT=Delimited"""
ado.open
'... etc
' clear up the temp folder
fso.deleteFolder newpath, true

I am trying to implement a recursive search script with following usecase:-
User can input string and directory to search for.
Script will list all the files with path that matches point 1 (maybe in separate file).
I tried it with batch script and tried to run from html page to pass parameters (string and directory). It failed as mentioned over stackoverflow (due to javascripts inability to access file system.)
My batch script is :- findstr /s /i /n /C:#name= *.* v > results.txt
Now I am wondering if my requirement can be fulfilled with batch file or I need to switch to vbscript. Please suggest.
I have no Idea of vbscript.
I can not install any third party tool on my windows workstation.
This is vbscript and won't trigger security dialogs if run from a local page.

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.

I currently have a script that takes a PC name and then outputs the IP Address and then another textbox with the Fully Qualified Domain Name. I have been using the InputBox instead of Msgbox as I need to be able to copy the results to the clipboard.
My question is: Is there a way to output both the IP and the FQDN in the same textbox and have a 'Copy to Clipboard' button next to each of those?
Here is what I've been using so far:
Sub Ping
Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Dim tmp
Const ForReading = 1
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Message = "Enter the Computer Name you would like to convert to an IP address."
Host_Names=InputBox(message)
wmiQuery = "Select * From Win32_PingStatus Where " & _
"Address = '" & Host_Names & "'"
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\.\root\cimv2")
Set objPing = objWMIService.ExecQuery(wmiQuery)
For Each objStatus in objPing
If IsNull(objStatus.StatusCode) Or objStatus.Statuscode<>0 Then
Msgbox Host_Names & " is Unreachable!"
Exit Sub
Else
tmp = InputBox("The IP Address is:",,objStatus.ProtocolAddress)
tmp = objStatus.ProtocolAddress
End If
Next
strIP = tmp
if strIP = "" then
Exit Sub
end if
Set objScriptExec = objShell.Exec("ping.exe -n 1 -a " & strIP)
strPingResult = objScriptExec.StdOut.ReadAll
Set objStdOut = objScriptExec.StdOut
strNoPing = "Request timed out."
arrayPingResult = split(strPingResult, vbcrlf)
strCheck = strComp(arrayPingResult(3), strNoPing, 1)
if strCheck = 1 then
Msgbox "PC not on the network. Quitting Program"
Exit Sub
else
arrayPCLine = split(arrayPingResult(1), " ")
tmp = InputBox("The fully qualified name is:",,arrayPCLine(1))
end if
End Sub
Thanks for any help you can give me.
The 'natural' GUI for VBScript is .HTA. As in:
<html>
<head>
<title>ClipBoard Demo</title>
<hta:application
id="demo"
></hta>
<script type="text/vbscript">
Option Explicit
Sub Window_OnLoad()
document.GetElementById("teIP").value = "1.2.3.4"
document.GetElementById("teNA").value = "HAL"
End Sub
Sub clpME(sTXT)
' MsgBox document.GetElementById(sTXT).value
window.clipboardData.setData "text", document.GetElementById(sTXT).value
End Sub
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form>
<input type="text" id="teIP">
<input type="button" onclick='clpME "teIP"' value="clp">
<br />
<input type="text" id="teNA">
<input type="button" onclick='clpME "teNA"' value="clp">
</form>
</body>
</html>
(More elaborate example, start here)
I'm not going to pretend this is pretty, but if you're looking for a quick and dirty solution, you can hijack the built-in buttons. I have seen this done before:
Dim msgboxResponse
msgboxResponse = MsgBox("Press: " & vbCrLf _
& "Yes to copy IP address" & vbCrLf _
& "No to copy FQDN" & vbCrLf _
& "Cancel to copy nothing", vbYesNoCancel)
Select Case msgboxResponse
Case vbYes: 'Code to copy IP to clipboard
Case vbNo: 'Code to copy FQDN
Case vbCancel: 'do nothing
Behold UX heaven:
End Select
While not evident, you can copy the content of any msgbox to clipboard just by pressing Ctrl-Ins, but the title and the buttons are also included.
You can just place the data in the clipboard using the clip.exe command line utility.
With WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
.Environment("PROCESS")("_toClip") = "Here, concatenate the variables to place in clipboard"
.Run "cmd /v /q /c ""echo(!_toClip!|clip""", 0, True
.Environment("PROCESS").Remove "_toClip"
End With
And, of course, instead of showing the two inputboxes, just concatenate the data and then show only one input box with all the required information.
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!!!

td = Array( _
"<td>" _

Try using this helpful Function DblQuote(Str) to add the double quotes into a variable

DblQuote = Chr(34) & Str & Chr(34)

OK, I have a nifty VBS that will search huge log files for certain character strings, but I don't always want to search every log file for every string. I'd like an HTA frontend that allows the end user to select what strings they want to look for.
Here is a sample of my code and it works great as a vb, but in this example, i'd like checkboxes for cows, goats, cats, dogs, etc.. and for the script to run correctly no matter how many are selected.. (my actual script has about 20 words to choose from) and also the path and name of the 'animal log file' is currently an input box.. i'd like that in the hta as well.
Const ForReading = 1
Dim words(7)
Dim msg
words(0) = "cows"
words(1) = "goats"
words(2) = "cats"
words(3) = "dogs"
words(4) = "elephants"
words(5) = "giraffes"
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
strAnswer = InputBox("Please enter the path & filename for the animal log file:", _
"Create File")
Wscript.Echo strAnswer
Set objFile = objFSO.OpenTextFile( strAnswer, ForReading)
Set inFile = objFSO.OpenTextFile ( strAnswer, ForReading)
strContents = objFile.ReadAll
objFile.Close
Set outFile = objFSO.OpenTextFile( strAnswer &"_parsed-output.txt", 8, True)
Do Until inFile.AtEndOfStream
strSearchString = inFile.ReadLine
For i = 0 To UBound(words)-1
If InStr(strSearchString,words(i)) Then
msg = msg&strSearchString&vbcrlf
End If
next
Loop
inFile.Close
outfile.WriteLine msg
WScript.Echo "Done!"
This can get you started. You will need to code in how to handle if multiple checkboxes are selected and the code logic required to open those log files (multiple log files). You can find more info about HTAs here, http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/scriptcenter/dd742317.aspx
