Replacing SubString values with the Replace function - vbscript

The code below looks in the test folder for any files that have not been accessed in over 5 days, if it finds one it assigns mRoot the file path and then whats NOT WORKING is using the Replace method to look inside the mRoot string for the IP and replace it with the new one, I have it show me what mRoot looks like in a pop up just to make sure it changes(or doesn't). I can't seem to get the IP to change. Can anyone help out? I'm very new to VBS so I'm hoping this is obvious (whether it is doable or not). Thanks.
Set oFileSys = WScript.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
sRoot = "\\192.168.1.104\test\"
today = Date
Set aFolder = oFileSys.GetFolder(sRoot)
Set aFiles = aFolder.Files
For Each file in aFiles
FileAccessed = FormatDateTime(file.DateLastAccessed, "2")
If DateDiff("d", FileAccessed, today) > 5 Then
Set objShell = Wscript.CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
mRoot = file
Call Replace(mRoot,"\\192.168.1.104","\\192.168.1.105")
objShell.Popup mRoot,, "My Popup Dialogue box"
'oFileSys.MoveFile file, mRoot
End If
Next

Try mRoot = Replace(mRoot,"\\192.168.1.104","\\192.168.1.105")

Using HP-UFT, is Is there anyway to tell whether or not an object in the object repository is being used in other tests?

I'm currently using UFT -- I have a GUI test, and there's a web element object in one of my tests I'd like to delete/update, but I'm worried it's being referenced by another test in our test suite. (I am coming into a test suite that someone else built)
Is there anyway to tell whether or not an object in the object repository is being used in other tests? (Without having to go into each individual test and action to find out?)
My way would be simple recursive file search.
Open EditPlus
Search -> Find In Files
Find What =
File Type = *.mts | *.vbs | *.qfl
Folder =
Select the Include Sub Folder Check Box
Click Find
You can use Search>View>Find (or ctrl+F) from UFT and select to look in entire solution
Open "Script.mts" file from every action and search for your object name. If you find the object, write the script name and line number where your object exists, in a file.
Use the below code:
'strScriptsPath is the path where your test script folders are placed.
Set strScripts = objFSO.GetFolder(strScriptsPath).SubFolders
For Each Script In strScripts
strAction = strScriptsPath & "\" & Script.Name & "\Action1\Script.mts"
If objFSO.FileExists(strAction) Then
'Open Script in NotePad
Set strFile = objFSO.OpenTextFile(strAction, 1)
Do While Not (strFile.AtEndOfStream)
strLine = strFile.ReadLine
If InStr(1, strLine, strObjectName) > 0 Then
iVerificationCount = objSheet.UsedRange.Rows.Count
iCurrentRow = iVerificationCount + 1
objSheet.Cells(iCurrentRow, 1) = Script.Name
objSheet.Cells(iCurrentRow, 2) = strLine
If strFile.AtEndOfStream Then
objSheet.Cells(iCurrentRow, 3) = strFile.Line
Else
objSheet.Cells(iCurrentRow, 3) = strFile.Line - 1
End If
End If
Loop
strFile.Close
Set strFile = Nothing
End If
Next
Set strScripts = Nothing
To be able to use this code, declare objFSO object and write a piece of code to create an excel and get objSheet.
You can also replace the object name using the below code:
Use the For Each Loop as mentioned above
strScript = strScriptsPath & "\" & strScriptName & "\Action1\Script.mts"
strFind = "Old Object Name"
strReplace = "New Object Name"
Set strFile = objFSO.OpenTextFile(strScript, 1)
strData = strFile.ReadAll
strNewData = Replace(strData, strFind, strReplace)
strFile.Close
Set strFile = Nothing
Set strFile = objFSO.OpenTextFile(strScript, 2)
strFile.Write strNewData
strFile.Close
Set strFile = Nothing
** You just need to write this entire code in a .vbs file and run that file.

Use VBScript to show properties dialog/sheet - for multiple items

I'm trying to write a script in VBS to show the file properties dialog/sheet for multiple items. Those items will be all of the items in a parent folder (e.g. all items in W:\).
Essentially, I'm trying to get the properties dialog to show the number of files in a drive. Right-clicking on the drive and selecting Properties does not show the number of files. You would instead need to go into the first level of the drive, select all folders/files, and then right-click and select Properties.
I have customised some code (below) I've found on the internet to bring up the file properties dialog/sheet for either a specific folder, or a drive. I have no idea what I could further change to get the properties dialog for all files and folder of a specified drive. Perhaps getting all folders/files of the drive into an array and then working with that?
Please note I'm looking for the actual properties dialog, and not just a simple return of the total number of files (I know how to do this).
Any help would be appreciated! Thanks :)
Code:
dim objShell, objFSO, folParent, sParent, filTarget, sFileName, sOutput, fivVerbs, iVerb, vVerb, fvbVerb, testItemsParent, TestMappedDestination

set objShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
const mappedDestination = "c:\"
vVerb = "P&roperties"
sParent = objFSO.GetParentFolderName(mappedDestination)
sFileName = objFSO.GetFileName(mappedDestination)
If Len(mappedDestination) = 3 then
nsTarget = &H11
TestMappedDestination = "(" & UCase(Left(mappedDestination,2)) & ")"
Else
nsTarget = sParent
TestMappedDestination = UCase(sFileName)
End If
set folParent = objShell.Namespace(nsTarget)
For each filTarget in folParent.Items
If Len(mappedDestination) = 3 then
testItemsParent = UCase(Right(filTarget,4))
Else
testItemsParent = UCase(filTarget)
End if
If testItemsParent = TestMappedDestination then
Set fivVerbs = filTarget.Verbs
For iVerb = 0 to fivVerbs.Count - 1
If fivVerbs.Item(iVerb).Name = vVerb then
Set fvbVerb = fivVerbs.Item(iVerb)
fvbVerb.DoIt()
filTarget.InvokeVerbEx fvbVerb.Name, ""

scan computer for a file and output folder location

I need to take a list of computers (IP or PC name) that are all on the same domain in CSV format. Scan each computer for a specific folder name. The folder will be arcXXXof. The x's are a hash and change for each PC. If the folder is found it needs to output the folder path to a CSV and append with each computer scanned. My programming is limited and I only really know Java. Since this will be run from a server it will need local administrative privileges to run on the local machines. My manager suggested I use VBS, but I have never written in that before.
My current snag is getting an error "expected then" Here's my loop.
Sub Recurse(strFolderPath)
Dim objFolder
Set objFolder = objFSO.GetFolder(strFolderPath) 'reads Folders pulled from recursion
Dim objSubFolder
dim folderStart 'grabs the first 2 characters of the file name. Should match 'of' if correct folder
Dim folderEnd 'grabs the last 6 (test) characters of the folder name, should match arc.txt if correct
Global checkEnd
set checkEnd = "arc" 'checks for "arc" at ending
Global checkStart
set checkStart = "of" 'used to check if folder name is correct path
For Each objSubFolder in objFolder 'for every Folder scanned
'Scans the name of the Folder, objSubFolder, for an ending of “arc", and beginning of “of” (testing)
set folderName = objSubFolder.name
Set folderEnd = right(folderName, 3)
set folderStart = left(folderName, 2)
dim folderName
if folderName = testFolderName
then WScript.Echo objSubFolder
'If folderEnd = checkEnd and
'If folderStart = checkStart
'Add Folder location to array, set array to next object
'Then fLocations(i) = object.GetAbsolutePathName(objSubFolder) and i = i+1
else
End If
Next
'recursive for searching new folder
For Each objSubFolder in objFolder.Subfolders
Call Recurse(objSubFolder.Path)
Next
OK, you could use a regex to match the name. Define it up front, in your global scope:
Dim re
Set re = New RegExp
re.IgnoreCase = True
re.Pattern = "^arc\w{3}of$"
I'm using \w, which is equivalent to [a-zA-Z_0-9]. You can change this if you're expecting only digits (\d) or something else for these three chars.
Then, in your Recurse function, test the folder name against it:
For Each objSubFolder in objFolder.SubFolders
' See if this folder name matches our regex...
If re.Test(objSubFolder.Name) Then
' Match. Just display for now...
WScript.Echo objSubFolder.Path
End If
' Test its subfolders...
Recurse objSubFolder.Path
Next
Tip: Remove the On Error Resume Next from your code while you're developing or you might miss all kinds of bugs and cause all kinds of headaches.

VBScript to copy file/s beginning with XXX or YYY or ZZZ from directory A to directory B

I have next to zero knowledge on vbs scripting but I have managed to cobble a few together to copy files from one directory to another and delete files in a directory but I've not been able to find anything specifically what I'm now after.
I'm looking to write a vbs script to do the following - copy file/s beginning with XXX or YYY or ZZZ from directory A to directory B.
I've had a look around and cannot quite find what I'm looking for, they all seem far too complex for what I need and involve the latest date or parsing a string within the files etc.
I'm quite sure this is simple but as stated at the top I really do not know what I'm doing so any help would be greatly appreciated.
The following is what I have for copying all files from one directory to another with a progress bar so a amendment to this would be great.
Const FOF_CREATEPROGRESSDLG = &H0&
' copy test 1 to test 2
strTargetFolder = "C:\test2\"
Set objShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
Set objFolder = objShell.NameSpace(strTargetFolder)
objFolder.CopyHere "C:\test1\*.*", FOF_CREATEPROGRESSDLG
Not sure as of yet how to get this in one big progress indicator. Currently it will show progress for each individual file.
Const FOF_CREATEPROGRESSDLG = &H0&
strSourceFolder = "C:\test1\"
strTargetFolder = "C:\test2\"
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set objSourceFolder = objFSO.GetFolder(strSourceFolder)
Set objFiles = objSourceFolder.Files
Set objShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
Set objTargetFolder = objShell.NameSpace(strTargetFolder)
For Each objSingleFile in objFiles
If (InStr(1,objSingleFile.Name,"xxx",vbTextCompare) = 1) Or _
(InStr(1,objSingleFile.Name,"yyy",vbTextCompare) = 1) Or _
(InStr(1,objSingleFile.Name,"zzz",vbTextCompare) = 1) Then
' The file name starts with one the flagged keywords
objTargetFolder.CopyHere objSingleFile.Path, FOF_CREATEPROGRESSDLG
End If
Next
Keep your strTargetFolder code which is used for the actual copy procedure used at the end of the script. Using the FileSystemObject objFSO we cycle through all the files of the directory c:\test1. Each file name is then checked to see if it starts with either of 3 different strings. The comparison is done using vbTextCompare which essentially has it running case insensitive. If a match is found then, using your original code, copy the file to the target directory with progress.
Currently this is not going to recursively navigate all subfolders for file but you could make a recursive function for that.
Use the FileSystemObject in combination with a regular expression:
src = "C:\test1"
dst = "C:\test2"
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set re = New RegExp
re.Pattern = "^(XXX|YYY|ZZZ)"
For Each f In fso.GetFolder(src).Files
If re.Test(f.Name) Then f.Copy dst & "\"
Next

If folder exist create shortcut this folder in MyDocuments VBS

I want to create a shortcut in my documents only if will be existed a network share.
I'm trying to solve for a long time, but i still have problem with this.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Dim strSkanSou
Dim objMyDocuments
strSkanSou = "\\Network\Scan\%username%"
IF strSkanSou.FolderExists then
Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
objMyDocuments = objShell.SpecialFolders("MyDocuments")
Set objLink = objShell.CreateShortcut(objMyDocuments & "\Skaner.lnk")
objLink.Description = "Skaner"
objLink.TargetPath = strSkanSou
objLink.Save
End If
You've got most of it solved already. You just need to create a FileSystemObject to check for the existence of your folder. Replace:
IF strSkanSou.FolderExists then
With:
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
If objFSO.FolderExists(strSkanSou) Then
Also, I see you're using the prefixes str for string and obj for object, which is great, but you may want to use strMyDocuments instead of objMyDocuments, since this is actually a string and not an object.
