This script basically goes to a folder and list all the files in that folder and output it in a txt file. Now instead of defining the folder path I want it to use the txt file that contains a bunch of folder paths in it and I want to loop that txt file. How can I do this?
Dim fso
Dim ObjFolder
Dim ObjOutFile
Dim ObjFiles
Dim ObjFile
'Creating File System Object
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
'Getting the Folder Object
Set ObjFolder = fso.GetFolder("C:\Users\Susan\Desktop\Anime\ova")
'Creating an Output File to write the File Names
Set ObjOutFile = fso.CreateTextFile("C:\Users\Susan\Documents\iMacros\Macros\WindowsFiles.txt")
'Getting the list of Files
Set ObjFiles = ObjFolder.Files
'Writing Name and Path of each File to Output File
For Each ObjFile In ObjFiles
ObjOutFile.WriteLine(ObjFile.Path)
Next
ObjOutFile.Close
Ruriko, this should be a working version, i would add a check to see if the inputfile exist, i'm sure you can do that yourself.
Dim fso, ObjFolder, ObjOutFile, ObjFiles, ObjFile, outputFile, inputFileList
Const ForReading = 1, ForWriting = 2, ForAppending = 8, CreateIfNeeded = true
inputFileList = "list.txt"
outputFile = "C:\Users\Susan\Documents\iMacros\Macros\WindowsFiles.txt"
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set objTextFile = fso.OpenTextFile(inputFileList, ForReading)
Do Until objTextFile.AtEndOfStream
sFolderName = objTextFile.Readline
wscript.Echo "writing contents of " & sFolderName
writefilenames(sFolderName)
Loop
function writefilenames(sFolderName)
Set ObjFolder = fso.GetFolder(sFolderName)
If fso.FileExists(outputFile) Then
Set ObjOutFile = fso.OpenTextFile(outputFile, ForAppending)
Else
Set ObjOutFile = fso.OpenTextFile(outputFile, ForWriting, CreateIfNeeded)
End If
Set ObjFiles = ObjFolder.Files
For Each ObjFile In ObjFiles
ObjOutFile.WriteLine(ObjFile.Path)
Next
ObjOutFile.Close
end function

'I have 2 scripts but could not combine them
'create multiple folders script:
Dim objFSO, objFolder, strDirectory, i
strDirectory = "C:\Users\test\Desktop\"

'desktop path script
set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
strDesktop = WshShell.SpecialFolders("Desktop")
wscript.echo(strDesktop)
I want the code to automatically find the desktop path and then create the folders, some one help me please ?
To get the desktop folder path string and create a sub directory you can do this:
Set objShell = Wscript.CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
strPath = objShell.SpecialFolders("Desktop")
Dim objFso
Set objFso = WScript.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
If Not objFso.FolderExists(strPath + "\NewFolder") Then
objFso.CreateFolder strPath + "\NewFolder"
I have this script to allow me to insert text into a text file but I need it to be at the start of the text file. This script currently adds this to the end of the .txt file.
And I am new to trying these things out myself
Option Explicit
Dim objFSO, objFolder, objShell, objTextFile, objFile
Dim strDirectory, strFile, strText
strDirectory = "c:\scripts"
strFile = "\csv.txt"
strText = "sep=|"
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
If objFSO.FolderExists(strDirectory) Then
Set objFolder = objFSO.GetFolder(strDirectory)
Else
Set objFolder = objFSO.CreateFolder(strDirectory)
WScript.Echo "Just created " & strDirectory
End If
If objFSO.FileExists(strDirectory & strFile) Then
Set objFolder = objFSO.GetFolder(strDirectory)
Else
Set objFile = objFSO.CreateTextFile(strDirectory & strFile)
Wscript.Echo "Just created " & strDirectory & strFile
End If
set objFile = nothing
set objFolder = nothing
Const ForAppending = 8
Set objTextFile = objFSO.OpenTextFile _
(strDirectory & strFile, ForAppending, True)
objTextFile.WriteLine(strText)
objTextFile.Close

You can read the file's content into a string, add your string in front of that and write everything back to the same file.
Dim sFileText
Dim sPrependText
Const ForReading = 1, ForWriting = 2
' Open file For Reading and Read All content to a variable
Set objTextFile = objFSO.OpenTextFile (strDirectory & strFile, ForReading, True)
sFileText = objTextFile.ReadAll
objTextFile.Close
' Prepend text in front of file's content
sPrependText = "sep=|"
sFileText = sPrependText & sFileText
' Open file For Writing and write text variable
Set objTextFile = objFSO.OpenTextFile (strDirectory & strFile, ForWriting, True)
objTextFile.Write sFileText
objTextFile.Close
I am trying to get this script to copy all files starting with "XX". Currently it only copies one file.
Dim objFSO, colFiles, objFile, strDestFolder, objNewestFile
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set colFiles = objFSO.GetFolder("C:\source")
strDestFolder = "C:\destination\"
For Each objFile In colFiles.Files
If Left(objFile.Name, 2) = "XX" Then
If objNewestFile = "" Then
Set objNewestFile = objFile
Else
If objNewestFile.DateLastModified < objFile.DateLastModified Then
Set objNewestFile = objFile
End If
End If
End If
Next
If Not objNewestFile Is Nothing Then
objFSO.CopyFile objNewestFile.Path,strDestFolder,True
End If
WScript.Echo "Copied."
You can use wildcards * and ? in [source] argument of FSO .CopyFile method.
So the code may look like:
Dim objFSO
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
objFSO.CopyFile "C:\source\XX*.*", "C:\destination\", True
WScript.Echo "Copied."
I've come across the following script that I'd really like to use but I would like it not to have the .extention at the end
Dim fso
Dim ObjOutFile
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set ObjOutFile = fso.CreateTextFile("C:\Users\User\Movies.csv")
ObjOutFile.WriteLine("Type,File Name,Size")
GetFiles("E:\")
ObjOutFile.Close
Function GetFiles(FolderName)
On Error Resume Next
Dim ObjFolder
Dim ObjSubFolders
Dim ObjSubFolder
Dim ObjFiles
Dim ObjFile
Set ObjFolder = fso.GetFolder(FolderName)
Set ObjFiles = objfolder.Files
For Each ObjFile In ObjFiles
ObjOutFile.WriteLine("File," & ObjFile.Name & "," & objFile.Size & "," & objFile.Type)
Next
Set ObjSubFolders = ObjFolder.SubFolders
For Each ObjFolder In ObjSubFolders
ObjOutFile.WriteLine("Folder," & ObjFolder.Name)
GetFiles(ObjFolder.Path)
Next
End Function
I'm rubbish at this but I would really apperciate the help
Use the .GetBaseName() method of the FileSystemObject. As in:
>> WScript.Echo goFS.GetBaseName("c:\dir\name.ext")
>>
name
I am trying to make the script to scan a folder and list only image files such as jpg, png, gif.
This is the code
Dim fso, ObjFolder, ObjOutFile, ObjFiles, ObjFile, outputFile, inputFileList
Const ForReading = 1, ForWriting = 2, ForAppending = 8, CreateIfNeeded = true
inputFileList = "list.txt"
outputFile = "C:\Users\Susan\Documents\iMacros\Macros\WindowsFiles.txt"
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set objTextFile = fso.OpenTextFile(inputFileList, ForReading)
Do Until objTextFile.AtEndOfStream
sFolderName = objTextFile.Readline
wscript.Echo "writing contents of " & sFolderName
writefilenames(sFolderName)
Loop
function writefilenames(sFolderName)
Set ObjFolder = fso.GetFolder(sFolderName)
If fso.FileExists(outputFile) Then
Set ObjOutFile = fso.OpenTextFile(outputFile, ForAppending)
Else
Set ObjOutFile = fso.OpenTextFile(outputFile, ForWriting, CreateIfNeeded)
End If
Set ObjFiles = ObjFolder.Files
For Each ObjFile In ObjFiles
ObjOutFile.WriteLine(ObjFile.Path)
Next
ObjOutFile.Close
end function
Can anyone give me the proper code?
Execute the command ObjOutFile.WriteLine(ObjFile.Path) only when ObjFile has a matching extension.
Set extensions = CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")
extensions.CompareMode = 1 ' make lookups case-insensitive
extensions.Add "jpg", True
extensions.Add "png", True
extensions.Add "gif", True
'...
For Each ObjFile In ObjFiles
If extensions.Exists(fso.GetExtensionName(ObjFile)) Then
ObjOutFile.WriteLine(ObjFile.Path)
End If
Next
And please don't broadcast your questions. It's not very polite towards the people you're asking for help.
