I'm gettinga n error message in line 8 when I try to call out the script to stop when it finds teh attribute in the Web page: field in AD.
Set objSysInfo = CreateObject("ADSystemInfo")
strUserDN = objSysInfo.UserName
Set objUser = GetObject("LDAP://" & strUserDN)
strwWWHomePage = objItem.Get("wWWHomePage")
If wWWHomePage 6 Then
wscript.quit
Else
Set ppt = CreateObject("PowerPoint.Application")
ppt.Visible = True
ppt.Presentations.Open "\\abngan01\tracking\ppt.pptx"
End If
You have:
If wWWHomePage 6 Then
I'm assuming you want it to say:
If wWWHomePage = 6 Then
Since the missing "=" will cause an error, but since that code really doesn't do anything anyway, other than just abort the script, you could simplify your code by only taking action if that value is not set, for example:
If objItem.Get("wWWHomePage") <> 6 Then
Set ppt = CreateObject("PowerPoint.Application")
ppt.Visible = True
ppt.Presentations.Open "\\abngan01\tracking\ppt.pptx"
End If
I'm also assuming "6" is some sort of flag you've set yourself, you might want to use something a little more descriptive like "PPTSTATUS006", or something along those lines.

I am trying to search through Word documents and try to find a certain character. The ± character to be precise. The code can find the character because I have it print to screen if it found it. But it is unable to replace the character.
I have even tried searching for a random string I knew was in the files such as "3" and replacing it with something random such as "dog". But nothing works. It still finds the characters but does not replace.

The problem is that the code in the question doesn't specify that a replacement should take place. This is set in the Execute method, as a parameter.
Since this is VBScript rather than VBA it's not possible to use the enumerations (such as wdReplaceAll). Instead, it's necessary to specify the numeric equivalent of an enumeration. VBA without enumerations...
objSelection.Find.Execute Replace:=2, Forward:=True, Wrap:=0
However, VBScript doesn't accept named arguments, so all the arguments need to be specified by position, with "empty commas" if nothing should be specified.
objSelection.Find.Execute , , , , , , , 0, , , 2
To discover the numeric equivalent consult either the VBA Object Library (F2 in the VBA Editor), the Language Reference or use the Immediate Window (Ctrl+G) in the VBA Editor like this: ?wdReplaceAll then press Enter.
objSelection.Find.Execute
should be
objSelection.Find.Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll, Forward:=True, Wrap:=wdFindContinue
(assuming you want to replace all occurrences
This code running inside a word module will replace all "cat" with "dog"
Sub test()
Dim objdoc As Document
Dim objSelection As Range
Set objdoc = ActiveDocument
Set objSelection = Selection.Range
With objSelection.Find
.Forward = True
.MatchWholeWord = False
.Text = "Cat"
.Replacement.Text = "Dog"
.Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll, Forward:=True, Wrap:=wdFindContinue
If .Found Then
Debug.Print "Found"
End If
End With
End Sub
However you're running in vbscript using late binding, so possibly there's a type issue - you're selection object may not be a range but a variant?
I've got a classic ASP application that contacts a database and receives a valid response but then crashes with
Error Number 9: Subscript out of range
after exiting the IF block the db call is made in. What's odd is that the same code is currently working in production. As far as I can tell they're configured identically (but I suspect there's a subtle difference that's causing this issue) and have identical code bases.
What I want to know is:
Where is this array that I'm supposedly attempting to reach a non-existent index of? I don't see it and the error gives no line number. Is there a chance something is not working correctly in the adodb library?
Perhaps this is a common problem having to do with a certain patch and my particular db connection library? Have you had a similar experience?
How do I troubleshoot a problem that doesn't immediately present itself? Should I just start putting troubleshooting statements in the library?
Explanation of what's happening in the code: When the cookie "click" is received err.number is 0. When the cookie "bang" is received the err.number is 9. It then crashes with that error at the end of the IF block.

To debug, please add a statement like
Response.Write (objRS("latestDate"))
before the line
latestDate = calConvertDate(objRS("latestDate"))
so you can see if (for example) the date returned from the server has "-" as separator instead of "/" or if an empty value is returned.
After understanding what is causing the problem you can solve it
1.Where is this array that I'm supposedly attempting to reach a non-existent index of? I don't see it and the error gives no line number. Is there a chance something is not working correctly in the adodb library?
This is your array:
yr = dtSplit(2)
mn = dtSplit(0)
dy = dtSplit(1)
What's odd is that the same code is currently working in production. As far as I can tell they're configured identically (but I suspect there's a subtle difference that's causing this issue) and have identical code bases.
May be you have different regional settings?
I strongly suggest to you use better error handling.

I would like to find the price with 2 year contract and display it in a message box. Sofar I have:
Dim MyPage
Dim Price
Set MyPage=CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM")

Wscript.Sleep 2000
Set Price = MyPage.getElementsByTagName("span")
For Each Elem In Price
MsgBox(Elem.firstChild.nodeValue)

I understand that I am completely wrong, but I don't even know where to start. I love writing simple programs like this, but I just need help getting started. Any ideas will help!
Here a better version, uses the HTMLFile object
Dim HTMLDoc, XML, URL, table
Set HTMLDoc = CreateObject("HTMLFile")
Set XML = CreateObject("MSXML2.XMLHTTP")
URL = "http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/store/controller?item=phoneFirst&action=viewPhoneDetail&selectedPhoneId=5723"
With XML
.Open "GET", URL, False
.Send
HTMLDoc.Write .responseText
End With
Set spans = HTMLDoc.getElementsByTagName("span")
for each span in spans
WScript.Echo span.innerHTML
next
'=><SPAN>Set Location</SPAN>
'=>Set Location
'=><SPAN>Submit</SPAN>
'=>Submit
'=>Connect with us
the control you use is for reading XML documents, you need something like this
'Create an xmlhttp object, the string depends on the version that is installed
'on your pc could eg also be "Msxml2.ServerXMLHTTP.5.0"
Set xmlhttp = CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP")
xmlhttp.Open "GET", "http://admin:pasword#10.0.0.2/doc/ppp.htm", False
xmlhttp.Send
text=xmlhttp.responseText
wscript.echo text
Set xmlhttp = Nothing
Run a search in your registry for XMLHTTP to get the right string/version for the identifier.
To get the tag from the html you can use the following
text = "blabla <span>this is what i need</span> bla bla<span>second item</span> end"
function getElementsByTagName(sTextToSeachIn, tag)
answer = ""
separator = ""
set oRegExpre = new RegExp
with oRegExpre
.IgnoreCase = true
.Global = true
.MultiLine = True
.Pattern = "<" & tag & ">(.*?)</" & tag & ">"
end with
set oColMatches = oRegExpre.Execute(sTextToSeachIn)
for each match in oColMatches
answer = answer & separator & match.subMatches(0)
separator = "|" 'use something that's not in the spancontents
next
if separator <> "" then
getElementsByTagName = split(answer, separator)
else
getElementsByTagName = array()
end if
end function
for each tag in getElementsByTagName(text, "span")
wscript.echo tag
next
'=>this is what i need
'=>second item
There are better techniques and certainly better languages than vbscript to do this, i suggest to take a look at Ruby which exels in such things.
Alex, in response to your comment about getting a cookie and running a javascript in HTMLFile, here a ruby script i found, hopes it helps you at some point, it reads in a page, passes it to the HTLMFile object and in that DOM executes a remote javascript file. It also gives you an idea of the combined power of activeX and Ruby.
require "win32ole"
$jsxpath_uri = "http://svn.coderepos.org/share/lang/javascript/javascript-xpath/trunk/release/javascript-xpath-latest-cmp.js"
uri, xpath = "http://gist.github.com/gists", "//div[#class='info']/span/a"
http = WIN32OLE.new('MSXML2.XMLHTTP')
http.Open "GET", uri, false
http.Send
text = http.responseText
dom = WIN32OLE.new("htmlfile")
dom.Write(text)
dom.parentWindow.eval(open($jsxpath_uri){|f| f.read })
items = dom.evaluate(xpath, dom, nil, 7, nil)
len = items.snapshotLength
(0...len).each do |i|
item = items.snapshotItem(i)
puts item.innerHTML
end
Is there a way of exporting all the members of multiple Active Directory groups at once using a VBScript? Preferably the output would be the usernames listed under the group they are a member of.
I have the following which allows me to export the members of 1 AD Group at a time, but I am at a loss as to how to modify it to look at multiple groups.
On Error Resume Next
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set outfile = fso.CreateTextFile("Members.csv")
Set objGroup = GetObject("LDAP://cn=*GROUPNAME*,OU=Groups,DC=domain,DC=local")
objGroup.GetInfo
arrMembersOf = objGroup.GetEx("member")
For Each GetObject in ObjGroup
outfile.WriteLine objGroup.Name
Next
For Each strMember in arrMembersOf
outfile.WriteLine strMember
Next
Any ideas?
Yeah, this is possible, but I think you might need to change your approach slightly. You need to write an LDAP query to query two groups at once, rather than just setting your scope to a particular group.
So, try reworking your script like this:
Set objRootDSE = GetObject("LDAP://RootDSE")
strDNSDomain = objRootDSE.Get("defaultNamingContext")
Set objRootDSE = Nothing
Set ad = CreateObject("ADODB.Command")
Set adoConnection = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
adoConnection.Provider = "ADsDSOObject"
adoConnection.Open "Active Directory Provider"
ad.ActiveConnection = adoConnection
'Put the distinguishedname of your two groups here:
strFilter = "(|(memberof=CN=Group Name,OU=....)(memberof=CN=Group Name 2,OU=....))"
'Chose what you want to return here:
strAttributes = "samaccountname,cn"
strQuery = "<LDAP://" & strDNSDomain & ">" & ";" & strFilter & ";" & strAttributes & ";subtree"
ad.CommandText = strQuery
ad.Properties("SearchScope") = 2
ad.Properties("Page Size") = 1000
ad.Properties("Cache Results") = False
Set objRS = ad.Execute
Now you've got all the results in a recordset, you can work your way through them writing each one to a file or whatever you want to do. So something like:
Do Until objRS.EOF
'Do something with each value
objRS.Fields("samaccountname")
objRS.MoveNext
Loop
Any use? I'm assuming here you know a little bit about writing LDAP queries
The best place to find scripts for Active Directory is Microsoft's Script Center Repository.
You can find a script listing all groups and all group members here ("List all groups in the domain and all members of the groups").
Here I have a small VBS script that helps me append a new line to a table in MS "Word" 2003:
Set wd = CreateObject("Word.Application")
wd.Visible = True
Set doc = wd.Documents.Open ("c:\addtotable.doc")
Set r = doc.Tables(1).Rows.Add
aa = Split("turtle,dog,rooster,maple", ",")
For i = 0 To r.Cells.Count - 1
r.Cells(i + 1).Range.Text = aa(i)
Next
It works fine, but it doesn't save anything. I want it to save the performed changes.
By the method of macro-recording in the "Word" I got this macro command that saves active "Word" document:
ActiveDocument.Save
So, I decided to append this macro to the VBS script above:
Set wd = CreateObject("Word.Application")
wd.Visible = True
Set doc = wd.Documents.Open ("c:\addtotable.doc")
Set r = doc.Tables(1).Rows.Add
aa = Split("turtle,dog,rooster,maple", ",")
For i = 0 To r.Cells.Count - 1
r.Cells(i + 1).Range.Text = aa(i)
Next
ActiveDocument.Save
But it doesn't save anything. What am I doing wrong here?
Have you already tried calling doc.Save after making those changes? If that doesn't work:
The issue is that ActiveDocument doesn't automatically reference what you think it does in VBScript the way it does in Word's VBA.
Try setting a new variable to the active document, like so:
Dim activeDoc
Set activeDoc = wd.ActiveDocument
activeDoc.Save
I think you have to use ActiveDocument.SaveAs("C:\addtotable.doc"); because I can't find any documentation for .Save. SaveAs accepts a second parameter which specifies what format to save it in. Pastebin of the parameters here.
