Answer» Hi All,
Not sure how crude such a script should be. Any suggestions? Cheers, CameronHomework Hi Dusty, Actually no (but to be that young again!) Task was given to me by the boss, just to interupt my PCI work. When I posted the query; thought sadly that the question might be seen as some FORM of homework. I've not done work with timestamps or filesizes before, hence the question. And I've had my hand out of DOS scripting for a little while now. Any help/direction appreciated. Cheers, CameronHeres a VBScript that will do the job open note, copy and paste the script below, save as something.vbs open command prompt, type: cscript something.vbs filename where the filename is the file you want to check. This needs to include the full path. If you want to check mulitple files, you could create a batch file which calls something.vbs for as many files as you need '----------------------------------------------------- Set objArgs = WScript.Arguments If WScript.Arguments.Count < 1 Then wscript.echo "Usage: cscript scriptname.vbs drive:\path\filename" wscript.quit Else StrFile = wscript.arguments.item(0) End if Dim fsoFile Set fsoFile = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") If fsofile.FileExists(StrFile) Then Set objFile = fsoFile.GetFile(StrFile) sName = objFile.Name sCreated = objFile.DateCreated sSize = objFile.Size If sSize > 1024 Then'Check Size Age = DateDiff("d", sCreated, Date())'Get Age difference If Age > 1 Then 'Check date is greater than 1 day wscript.echo objFile.Name wscript.echo objFile.Size wscript.echo objFile.DateCreated End If Else wscript.echo "Not met the criteria" End If End If set objfile = nothing set fsofile = nothing '-----------------------------------------------Many thanks TheManFrom, Spent a few hours stumbling with the old scripting last night - sad when you forget so much of it. Seems that to perform the task purely as a MSDOS/NT script would be a painful challenge. Is VBScripting becoming (or is now) more the MAINSTREAM ? Cheers, CameronYes I think VBS is the way forward for admin tasks. DOS is GREAT but has its limitations which is where I think VBS comes in handy Anyways GLAD I could help.is there a particular program you need to write VBscript? My school has "Object oriented Turing" but I want to write this at home, and the computer I use at home, doesn't have internet. . . can I just use notepad for Visual Basic? is there any ONLINE tutorials? (I forget the strings things. . . eg. var:String var:name var:pass cls LOOP put "what is your username" get name put "what is your password get pass exit when pass = "wood" or pass = name end loop that is Turing (except with a fault in the "Var" block at top. . . I can't seem to get that to work right. . . anyway can you write stuff like this in NOTEPAD?? (on a 10yr old computer?? with no internet. .) Please, these questions are important to me lol. . .VBScript is like a cut down version of visual basic and has the advantage of like dos batch file, you can simply open a text editor like notepad, add your script and instead of .bat, save the file as .vbs. Then to run the program, from the command prompt (Start->Run->cmd) simply type: cscript name.vbs You do no need internet however it would be handy for tutorials to learn from It doesnt matter how old your computer is as long as you have at least windows 95 (I think thats the minimum) As of your example above, in vbs you do not need to declare your variable (although it is best practise to always declare them ) The above in vbs would look somthing like Code: [Select]DO Pass="" pass = InputBox("Please enter your password") Loop Until Pass="wood" or pass="name" |
