#138039 - 2005-04-15 12:25 PM $file variable question
AndyK AndyK Fresh Scripter Registered: 2005-03-29 Posts: 8	Hi, I am using the WriteProfileString command. I want to output file name, file location and modified date to a txt file. I have managed to get the name and modified date done using $file.name and $file.datelastmodified. But I cannot find how to output the location. I have tried $file.location and $file.path, that just throws the whole thing out and leaves the output txt file blank. Does anyone know what $file variable I should be using. Thanks, Andy

A little snippet of code wouldn't hurt too. _________________________ Give a man a fish and he will be back for more. Slap him with a fish and he will go away forever.

THat said, here are a few FSO props.
Code:


Function GetAllFileProperties($FileName) 
	$fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") 
	$objFile = $fso.GetFile($FileName) 
	? "Date created: " + $objFile.DateCreated 
	? "Date last accessed: " + $objFile.DateLastAccessed 
	? "Date last modified: " + $objFile.DateLastModified 
	? "Drive: " + $objFile.Drive 
	? "Name: " + $objFile.Name 
	? "Parent folder: " + $objFile.ParentFolder 
	? "Path: " + $objFile.Path 
	? "Short name: " + $objFile.ShortName 
	? "Short path: " + $objFile.ShortPath 
	? "Size: " + $objFile.Size 
	? "Type: " + $objFile.Type 
EndFunction

AndyK AndyK Fresh Scripter Registered: 2005-03-29 Posts: 8	Hi Les, I am using it in after calling the dirplus udf. Complete script below: Call 'C:\Documents and Settings\username\Desktop\dirplus.kix' $files = Dirplus("c:\","/a-d /s /f exe") For Each $file In $files $ = WriteProfileString('\\server\share\log.ini',@USERID,$file.name,$file.datelastmodified) Next Thanks, Andy

Les Les KiX Master Registered: 2001-06-11 Posts: 12734 Loc: fortfrances.on.ca	Then I surmised correctly since DirPlus() uses FSO and I already answered your question. In the future, I suggest you provide more accurate details when you post so that we do not have to call on the spirits from beyond. _________________________ Give a man a fish and he will be back for more.

AndyK AndyK Fresh Scripter Registered: 2005-03-29 Posts: 8	Fair enough - being a kix novice and not knowing what FSO and COM are I did not know the exact context of how I was using it was important and that there would be a generic answer. So - just to clarify - does that whole passage of script need to be copied into my script? Thanks

I posted it simply to show the different properties that FSO returns rather than have you guess at them as you were trying to. _________________________ Give a man a fish and he will be back for more.

something liek this?

Code:



$files = Dirplus('.\','/a-d /s /f kix')

For Each $file In $files
	$ = WriteProfileString('.\test.ini',@USERID,$file.name,$file.datelastmodified + ',' + $file.path)
Next

will make a ini file like this.

Code:

AndyK AndyK Fresh Scripter Registered: 2005-03-29 Posts: 8	Hi Bryce, That's it! the variable I was using was correct, but I had it set ou like this: $ = WriteProfileString('\\server\shares\log.ini,@USERID,$file.name,$file.datelastmodified,$file.path) Thanks everso much for that, one other question. using dirplus, is there a way of searching using part of the filename? the command in dos is dir c:\blah*.exe Looking through the dirplus kix, it shows you can search on extension, but all the ways I have tried to add the part of the filename it, it fails. Thanks again Andy
