End Sub
I'm trying to create a folder in c\userprofile\appdata\roaming\oracle
named TNSNAMES by using this code. Can some one clarify for me that this code
TNSFolder = WshUserEnv("TNSNAMES") is suitable to use to create a folder?
According to the docs you create a folder by call the CreateFolder (surprise!) method of a FileSystemObject.
stolen demo code:
Function CreateFolderDemo
Dim fso, f
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set f = fso.CreateFolder("c:\New Folder") ' <-- new folder is born
CreateFolderDemo = f.Path ' <-- return folder spec (string) to caller
End Function
(Simply assigning a string containing a folder specification to a variable will copy the string but not automagically change your harddisk.)

Basically, I want to create a new file and write in it in a directory on the PC, pointed to by the %TEMP% variable. However, the revised code below does not work:
Dim oFile
Dim shell
Set oShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
user = oShell.ExpandEnvironmentStrings("%Temp%")
Set oFile = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
Set oFile = oFile.CreateTextFile("%Temp%\d.txt")
oFile.WriteLine "here is my contant"
oFile.Close
Error Message:
run time error
line no: 3
object required
Old Code
Dim fso, tf
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
FileName = "%TEMP%\myfile.txt"
Set tf = fso.CreateTextFile(FileName, True)
If I use the file name "C:\myfile.txt" it works fine.
Error Message:
Path not found
In VBA, you can just use Environ("TEMP") to expand the Environment variable - if this does not work in VBScript, you may need to bind the WScript.Shell object and use the ExpandEnvironmentStrings property instead, like so:
Set oShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
FileName = oShell.ExpandEnvironmentStrings("%TEMP%") & "\myfile.txt"
Set oShell = Nothing
Following from comments below
Here is a "fully fixed" code:
'Declare variables/objects first
Dim fso AS Object, oFile AS Object
Dim oShell AS Object, FileName AS String
'This bit turns "%TEMP%" into a real file path
Set oShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
FileName = oShell.ExpandEnvironmentStrings("%Temp%\d.txt")
Set oShell = Nothing 'Tidy up the Objects we no longer need
'This bit creates the file
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set oFile = fso.CreateTextFile(FileName)
oFile.WriteLine "here is my content"
oFile.Close
Set oFile = Nothing 'Tidy up the Objects we no longer need
Set fso = Nothing 'Tidy up the Objects we no longer need
you can use Environ("temp") to write to C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\Temp
I have a quite simple task.
There is a folder which contains several files with different extensions. I need to make a script which will find all files with .txt extension in this folder, read first line from every file and then write all first lines in newly created file.
For now, I've ended up with something like this:
Option Explicit
Dim fso
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Dim f, colFiles , objFile
Dim tFolder, tFile
Dim lineToCopy, fileContents
Dim input, output
Set tFolder = fso.GetFolder("C:\Temp")
Set tFile = tFolder.CreateTextFile("test.txt", true)
Set f = fso.GetFolder("D:\Folder")
Set colFiles = f.Files
For Each objFile in colFiles
If LCase(fso.GetExtensionName(objFile.name)) = "txt" Then
Set input = fso.OpenTextFile(LCase(objFile.name))
If Not input.AtEndofStream Then lineToCopy = input.ReadLine
input.close
output = fso.OpenTextFile(tFolder, True)
output.WriteLine lineToCopy
output.close
End If
Next
WScript.sleep 60000000
When activated, .vbs file tells me he couldn't find the file from that line:
Set input = fso.OpenTextFile(LCase(objFile.name))
I suppose that happens because IF LCASE<...> block doesn't understand folder contents as .txt files. Where am I wrong and what is needed to be done to solve that problem?
Kindly yours,
Richard
Use the full .Path of the file for OpenTextFile or get the stream via OpenAsTextStream. Use tFile instead of repeatedly creating output. Delete all the risky/cargo cult fat:
Option Explicit
Dim fso : Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Dim tFile : Set tFile = fso.CreateTextFile(fso.BuildPath(".\", "test.txt"))
Dim oFile
For Each oFile in fso.GetFolder("..\data").Files
If LCase(fso.GetExtensionName(oFile.Path)) = "txt" Then
' Dim input: Set input = fso.OpenTextFile(LCase(oFile.Path))
Dim input: Set input = oFile.OpenAsTextStream()
If Not input.AtEndofStream Then tFile.WriteLine input.ReadLine()
input.Close
End If
Next
tFile.Close
Looks like I've found my own decision:
Option Explicit
Dim fso
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Dim f, colFiles , objFile
Dim tFolder, tFile
Dim lineToCopy, readFile
Set tFolder = fso.GetFolder("C:\Temp")
Set tFile = tFolder.CreateTextFile("test.txt", true)
Set f = fso.GetFolder("D:\Scripting Games 2008\Beginner")
Set colFiles = f.Files
For Each objFile in colFiles
If LCase(fso.GetExtensionName(objFile.name)) = "txt" Then
REM Preceding passage finds all .txt files in selected folder
Set readFile = objFile.OpenAsTextStream
lineToCopy = ""
Do Until lineToCopy <> "" Or readfile.atEndOfStream
lineToCopy = Trim(readFile.ReadLine)
Loop
REM Extracts first line of the text, if it is not empty
tFile.WriteLine objFile.name & ": " & lineToCopy
End If
Next
Still, thanks for the answers. I've found some interesting solutions which well be of use some time.
Kindly yours,

Currently this is my script
Set oWS = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
' Get the %userprofile% in a variable, or else it won't be recognized
userProfile = oWS.ExpandEnvironmentStrings( "%userprofile%" )
What I am trying to do is grab the current user logged in, I want it to check the directory D:\"personsuser"\Appdata\Roaming\Local to see if the folder "Local" is created, if it isn't created I want to create one via createobject in vbs. The script above from what i know grabs the current logged on user, however i'm not sure how to use this variable to create a folder.
I know i will have to incorporate something along these lines:
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set objFolder = objFSO.CreateFolder("C:\FSO")
And or something along these lines:
Dim objNetwork
Dim userName
Dim FSO
Set FSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set objNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network")
userName = objNetwork.userName
If fso.driveExists("D:\" & userName & "\AppData\Local\") Then
FSO.CreateDirectory ("D:\" & userName & "\AppData\Local\")
End If
Thanks in advance, not very familiar with VBS however that is the only platform I can operate from in the environment that i'm using it.
Set oWS = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
' Get the %userprofile% in a variable, or else it won't be recognized
userProfile = oWS.ExpandEnvironmentStrings( "%userprofile%" )
Dim objNetwork
Dim userName
Dim FSO
Dim Folder
Set FSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set objNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network")
userName = objNetwork.userName
If NOT (FSO.FolderExists(userProfile + "\AppData\Roaming\Local")) Then
' Delete this if you don't want the MsgBox to show
MsgBox("Local folder doesn't exists, creating...")
splitString = Split(userProfile, "\")
' Create folder
MsgBox("D:\" + splitString(2) + "\AppData\Roaming\Local")
'FSO.CreateFolder(splitString(2) + "\AppData\Roaming\Local")
End If
Here you go man, this should work perfect, regards Daniel.
Here is code part from my utilty for FSO:
dim ffso
Function GetFSO
if not IsValidObject(ffso) then set ffso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set GetFSO = ffso
End Function
sub SureDirectoryExists(ADir)
if ADir="" then exit sub
if not GetFSO().FolderExists(ADir) then
SureDirectoryExists ffso.GetParentFolderName(ADir)
ffso.CreateFolder ADir
end if
end sub
This function will create all folders in the path parameter (string).
Public Function CheckCreateFolder(path)
Dim TempPath As String
Dim FSO
Set FSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
pos = 0
While pos < Len(path)
pos = InStr(pos + 1, path, "\")
TempPath = Left(path, pos)
If Not (FSO.FolderExists(TempPath)) Then
FSO.CreateFolder (TempPath)
End If
Wend
End Function
I am trying to create a Vbscript to go through a text file containing different URLs and navigate to each URL using WshShell.Run. I am currently getting: "Object Required: urllist" Error.
Sorry I am new to Vbscript not sure where to go from here.
The urllist.txt is stored in the same directory.
Here is what I have so far:
dim listFile
dim WshShell
dim fName
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set listFile = fso.OpenTextFile(urllist.txt)
Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Dim fso
'do while not listFile.AtEndOfStream
fName = listFile.ReadLine()
Return = WshShell.Run("iexplore.exe " & fName, 1)
'loop
You missed quote-mark. Next line:
Set listFile = fso.OpenTextFile(urllist.txt)
Should be:
Set listFile = fso.OpenTextFile("urllist.txt")
What is the simplest way in VB6 to loop through all the files in a specified folder directory and get their names?
sFilename = Dir(sFoldername)
Do While sFilename > ""
debug.print sFilename
sFilename = Dir()
Loop
Dim fso As New FileSystemObject
Dim fld As Folder
Dim fil As File
Set fld = fso.GetFolder("C:\My Folder")
For Each fil In fld.Files
Debug.Print fil.Name
Next
Set fil = Nothing
Set fld = Nothing
Set fso = Nothing
DJ's solution is simple and effective, just throwing out another one in case you need a little more functionality that the FileSystemObject can provide (requires a reference to the Microsoft Scripting Runtime).
Dim fso As New FileSystemObject
Dim fil As File
For Each fil In fso.GetFolder("C:\").Files
Debug.Print fil.Name
Next
'For VB6 very Tricky:
'Simply get the location of all project .frm files saved in your disk/project directory
Dim CountVal As Integer
CountVal = 0
cbo.Clear
sFilename = Dir(App.Path & "\Forms\")
Do While sFilename > ""
If (Right(sFilename, 4) = ".frm") Then
cbo.List(CountVal) = Left(sFilename, (Len(sFilename) - 4))
CountVal = CountVal + 1
End If
sFilename = Dir()
Loop
create button with name = browseButton
create filelistbox with name = List1
double click on button in design
and code should look like this
Private Sub browseButton_Click()
Dim path As String
path = "C:\My Folder"
List1.path() = path
List1.Pattern = "*.txt"
End Sub
done now run it
You can use the following demo code,
Dim fso As New FileSystemObject
Dim fld As Folder
Dim file As File
Set fld = fso.GetFolder("C:\vishnu")
For Each file In fld.Files
msgbox file.Name
Next
