Depends what you’re trying to do.

You could use something like:

mystring = “abcxyzdef”
var1 = Left(mystring,3)
var2 = Mid(mystring,3,3)
var3 = right(mystring,3)

Sure, what I do for this is first, declare a variable:

Quotes = Chr(34)

Then do something like

filename = Quotes & “c:\temp\myfile.msi” & Quotes

You don’t need to declare the variable, but I do for neatness.

Hey guys, I’m trying to figure out how to run a script to install something without hardcoding a path. I have it working EXCEPT when the working directory has a space in it. Can anyone give me some vbscript code on running something in a working directory with spaces?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I usually complete things on my own but this one has gotten the better of me.

Thanks!
Stephen

Hi,

Can I get the vbscript for knowing the processes running in the system tray

I mean in windows there will be system tray right?
Now I want to know how to develop the script to know the particular process is running in the system tray or not

If you look at the comment above, it shows how to do the second part of your question, just change

If Left(file.Name,6) = “NB0001″ Then

myString = “SSLVPN-Logs-54541″
If Left(file.Name,Len(myString)) = myString Then

In the ‘Do Something part then you can get the file contents and use InStr or similar to look for your string.

Welcome to VBScript! Absolutely you can use VBScript to do this. I’ll outline how you can do it:

- Create a folder object
- Specify your folder
- Get every file in the folder
- Check it

Here’s some code, put it into a file called “something.vbs”

Set objFSO = CreateObject(“Scripting.FileSystemObject”)
Set folder = objFSO.GetFolder(“C:\PROGRAM FILES\VERITAS\NBSCRIPTS\3DR_LOGS”)
Set files = folder.Files

For each file In files
WScript.Echo file.name
If Left(file.Name,6) = “NB0001″ Then
‘Do Something
End If
Next
