Hi, i am looking for a batchfile that does the following:

i have a config file that has the following lines:

name001=pc0001
~
name088=pc0029
name089=pc0199

Now i want to be able when running the batch a line wil be added to the config file with name... with one number HIGHER than the last line + the current pc number.
So when running this batch from pc0215 the following line should be added:

name090=pc0215

I know %computername% can be used to print the pc number.

Thanx in advanceare the 4 characters 'name' an example, or are they what actually appear?

Whether the answer is yes or no, is the part before the number always 4 characters long?


vbscript
Code: [Select]Set objFS=CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set WshNetwork = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Network")
strComputerName=WshNetwork.ComputerName
Set objArgs = WScript.Arguments
strConfigFile = objArgs(0)
strTemp = "temp"
Set objTemp = objfs.CreateTextFile(strTemp,True)
Set objFile = objFS.OpenTextFile(strConfigFile)
data= Split(objFile.ReadAll,vbCrLf)
s = Split( data( UBound(data) - 1 ) , "=")
s1 = Replace(s(0), "name","")
length = Len(s1)
s1=s1+1
strNewValue = "name" & Pad(s1,length) & "=" & strComputerName
data( UBound(data) ) = strNewValue

For i=LBound(data) To UBound(data)
objTemp.Write(data(i) & vbCrLf )
Next

objTemp.Close
objFile.Close

If objFS.FileExists(strConfigFile) Then
objFS.DeleteFile(strConfigFile)
objFS.MoveFile strTemp,strConfigFile
End If

Function Pad(input, howmany)
'Pad leading zeroes to a string till length of howmany
If Len(input) <= howmany Then
Do Until Len(input) = howmany
input = "0" & input
Loop
Pad = input
End If
End Function

usage
Code: [Select]c:\test> cscript //nologo myscript.vbs configfile
Thanks a *censored* bunch, Ghostdog, I was right in the MIDDLE of a dinky little batch! Nothing like having your motivation taken away to make you feel good. You did see the "from batch" in the title?

Anyhow, ns1207, if you still want a batch solution, say so and also answer my question above and I may continue...
