This is the 3rd in a series of Tips dealing specifically with the Microsoft Scripting Runtime Library. In this Tip, we'll show you how to return specific Properties relating to Files, as well as various Methods to Copy, Move, and Delete them. The code is self explanatory, so I'll jump right in:
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. Dim fso As FileSystemObject, fil As File
  2. 'Set fso = New Scripting.FileSystemObject    OR
  3.  
  4. Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
  5.  
  6. Set fil = fso.GetFile("C:\Windows\System32\Calc.exe")
  7.  
  8. Debug.Print "File Created on: " & fil.DateCreated
  9. Debug.Print "File Size: " & FormatNumber(fil.Size, 0) & " bytes"
  10. Debug.Print "File Drive: " & fil.Drive

  12. Debug.Print "File Name: " & fso.getFileName(fil)
  13. Debug.Print "File Last Modified: " & fil.DateLastModified
  14. Debug.Print "File Last Accessed: " & fil.DateLastAccessed
  15. Debug.Print "File Parent Folder: " & fil.ParentFolder
  16. Debug.Print "File Type: " & fil.Type
  17. Debug.Print "File Path: " & fil.path
  18. Debug.Print "File Short Name: " & fil.ShortName
  19. Debug.Print "File Short Path: " & fil.ShortPath
  20. Debug.Print "File Extension: " & fso.GetExtensionName(fil)
  21. Debug.Print "File Version: " & fso.GetFileVersion(fil)
  22.  
  23. 'To Copy a File (Copy C:\Windows\System32\Calc.exe ==> C:\Dell\Copy.exe)
  24. fil.Copy ("C:\Dell\Copy.exe")       'OR
  25. fso.CopyFile "C:\Windows\System32\Calc.exe", "C:\Dell\Copy.exe", True
  26.  
  27. 'To Delete a File (C:\Dell\IP.txt)
  28. Set fil = fso.GetFile("C:\Dell\IP.txt")
  29. fil.Delete True     'OR
  30. fso.DeleteFile "C:\Dell\IP.txt", True
  31.  
  32. 'To Move a File (C:\Dell\Move_From.txt ==> C:\Test\Move_To.txt
  33. Set fil = fso.GetFile("C:\Dell\Move_From.txt")
  34. fil.Move "C:\Test\Move_To.txt"      'OR
  35. fso.MoveFile "C:\Dell\Move_From.txt", "C:\Test\Move_To.txt"
File Properties OUTPUT:

Howdy All, I am having difficulty with two-way communication across AppDomains in an attempt to dynamically script applications. Everything works as expected, except when using ByRef parameters. The below explanation is lengthy, but well worth the read. If you can help me, I'd gladly share this code which has greatly helped my development of extensible applications.

To use the Textstream object, I had to set a Reference to the Microsoft Scripting Runtime. This works good with A2000 Is the Scripting Runtime included with A2002 and A2003 so the Reference won't be broken when my app is opened with those versions. Also is the Scripting Runtime included as part of the A2000 Runtime Engine which some of my customers use.

Used VB.NET (on my client PC) to convert VB6 executable to .NET executable. Placed the .exe file on a network drive on my server. From client, ran .NET Wizards "Trust an Assembly" to make the .exe (on the network drive, on the server) "Full Trust." From the client, double-click on the ..exe (on the network drive, on the server) and it runs fine. So far, so good, but... On the server, where I've installed not VB.NET but .NET

Through Methods exposed by this Library, you can also manipulate...

This is the last in a series of Tips involving the Microsoft Scripting Runtime Library and deals with creating, opening, writing to, reading from, and closing Text Files via this Library. At this time, the Scripting Library cannot deal with the opening and manipulation of Files in Binary Mode, so we will only demonstrate this functionality as it relates to Text Files. The code is fairly straightforward and sparsely commented, so I will not bore...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
