I need a code in VBScript or batch to replace 5 Caracters (the bold numbers below) in a line of a text file to change ports numbers.
change_port.vbs:
prefsFile = "%userprofile%\Desktop\teste.msrcincident"
prefsFile = CreateObject("WScript.Shell").ExpandEnvironmentStrings(prefsFile)
newPrefs = "5500"
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
json = fso.OpenTextFile(prefsFile).ReadAll
Set re = New RegExp
re.Pattern = "":*?",*,"
json = re.Replace(json, ": & newPrefs & ",*,")
fso.OpenTextFile(prefsFile, 2).Write(json)
Original text file:
RCTICKET="65538,1,10.0.0.1:54593,*,ucIdnri2n4QPf/bv92mtx4w2qliCNdyDgBpHPr7nJFdxYL2/dR+iel9Mh4zgD6QR,*,*,Fbjf5rcIrdrlnibnisrzRcO8tsY=" PassStub="HG)7HbhIZPTiKy" RCTICKETENCRYPTED="1" DtStart="1457700115" DtLength="142560" L="0"/></UPLOADINFO>
Expected result text file:
RCTICKET="65538,1,10.0.0.1:5500,*,ucIdnri2n4QPf/bv92mtx4w2qliCNdyDgBpHPr7nJFdxYL2/dR+iel9Mh4zgD6QR,*,*,Fbjf5rcIrdrlnibnisrzRcO8tsY=" PassStub="HG)7HbhIZPTiKy" RCTICKETENCRYPTED="1" DtStart="1457700115" DtLength="142560" L="0"/></UPLOADINFO>
Can anyone help me?
Your search and replacement expressions are messed up. You're looking for a colon (:) followed by one or more digits (\d+ or [0-9]+) followed by a comma (,), and want to replace that with a colon followed by the new port number and a comma.
Change this:
re.Pattern = "":*?",*,"
json = re.Replace(json, ": & newPrefs & ",*,")
into this.
re.Pattern = ":\d+,"
json = re.Replace(json, ":" & newPrefs & ",")
Always keep your expressions as simple as possible.

Using VBS on Windows 2012 R2 I am trying to pass a command line parameter isActive="false" but I cannot get the equal sign to appear in the command line.
Create a dummy batch file like test.bat
echo %1
Pause
Then in the created VBScript
Set oShell = WScript.CreateObject("WSCript.Shell")
oShell.CurrentDirectory = "C:\test"
'strEqual = Chr(61)
strCommand = "test.bat" & " " & "isActive=" &"""false"""
return = oShell.Run(strCommand, 1, True)
Set oShell = Nothing
I get isActive "false" but no equal sign.
I have tried separating out as a unique value
like & Chr(61) & and have tried escaping with / and \ and // and \\ before and after the equal sign. I have tried to use as a variable, strEqual = Chr(61).
I am at a loss as to how to get the = to be part of the string when passed to the command shell. I can write it to a text file and the equal sign is written, but not in the shell.
You observe this behavior because CMD uses not only spaces and tabs, but also commas, semicolons, and the = character as parameter delimiters. Meaning that isActive="false" is parsed as 2 distinct arguments: isActive and "false". If you want it to be parsed as a single argument you need to put the whole key/value pair in quotes: "isActive=false".
Note that the double quotes inside VBScript string literals must be escaped by doubling them. If you require double quotes around the value part of the argument simply add another set of escaped double quotes.
Set oShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
strCommand = "test.bat ""isActive=""false"""""
return = oShell.Run(strCommand, 1, True)
There is also no need to concatenate string literals (except for readability reasons when you want to wrap a long string). Just define your command as a single string.
You may pass a value from VBS to BAT/CMD using process environment variable.
Save the below code as test.vbs:
strCurDir = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject").GetParentFolderName(WScript.ScriptFullName) & "\"
CreateObject("WScript.Shell").Environment("process").Item("myvar") = "isActive=""false"""
CreateObject("WSCript.Shell").Run strCurDir & "test.bat"
And this code save as test.bat in the same folder:
echo %myvar%
pause
Run test.vbs and console output will be
C:\Windows\system32>echo isActive="false"isActive="false"
Trying to read from a txt file and have the results be displayed in the message box. I plan on copying and pasting lines of 1000 and deleting them from the array, later in my code. For now I'd like to be able to see that the file can be read into the array and be displayed:
Local $List
FileReadToArray( "C:/Users/Desktop/recent_list.txt", $List [, $iFlags = $FRTA_COUNT [, $sDelimiter = ""] ])
MsgBox( 0, "Listing", $List )
I get an error:
>"C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3\SciTE\..\autoit3.exe" /ErrorStdOut "C:\Users\Documents\Test.au3"
"FileReadToArray" has no other parameters than the file to read! You have used the function call from "_FileReadToArray".
The square brackets in the function line means: This parameters are optional! If you want to use them with the default values, its not required to write them in the function call.
And "FileReadToArray" reads the content of a file into an array. Thats why your call should look like so:
Local $arList = FileReadToArray("C:/Users/Desktop/recent_list.txt")
; to show every line in a MsgBox you must iterate
; through the result array
For $i = 0 To UBound($arList) -1
; MsgBox is not sensefull with hundred of lines in file!
; MsgBox(0, 'Line ' & $i+1, $arList[$i])
; better way - console output
ConsoleWrite('['& $i+1 & '] ' & $arList[$i] & #CRLF)

I've got a class that parses a CNC file, but I'm having difficulties with trailing "words" on each line of the file.
My code parses all leading "words" until it reaches the final word. It's most noticeable when parsing "Z" values or other Double type values. I've debugged it enough to notice that it successfully parses the numerical value just as it does with "X" and "Y" values, but it doesn't seem to successfully convert it to double. Is there an issue with a character I'm missing or something?
Here's my code:
If IO.File.Exists("Some GCode File.eia") Then
Dim sr As New IO.StreamReader("Some GCode File.eia")
Dim i As Integer = 0
'Read text file
Do While Not sr.EndOfStream
'Get the words in the line
Dim words() As String = sr.ReadLine.Split(" ")
'iterate through each word
For i = 0 To words.Length - 1 Step 1
'iterate through each "registered" keyword. Handled earlier in program
For Each cmd As String In _registeredCmds.Keys
'if current word resembles keyword then process
If words(i) Like cmd & "*" Then
_commands.Add(i, _registeredCmds(cmd))
'Double check availability of a Type to convert to
If Not IsNothing(_commands(i).DataType) Then
'Verify enum ScopeType exists
If Not IsNothing(_commands(i).Scope) Then
'If ScopeType is modal then just set it to True. I'll fix later
If _commands(i).Scope = ScopeType.Modal Then
_commands(i).DataValue = True
Else
'Catch errors in conversion
Try
'Get the value of the gcode command by removing the "registered" keyword from the string
Dim strTemp As String = words(i).Remove(0, words(i).IndexOf(_commands(i).Key) + _commands(i).Key.Length)
'Save the parsed value into an Object type in another class
_commands(i).DataValue = Convert.ChangeType(strTemp, _commands(i).DataType)
Catch ex As Exception
'Log(vbTab & "Error:" & ex.Message)
End Try
End If
Else
'Log(vbTab & "Command scope is null")
End If
Else
'Log(vbTab & "Command datatype is null")
End If
Continue For
End If
Next
Next
i += 1
Loop
Else
Throw New ApplicationException("FilePath provided does not exist! FilePath Provided:'Some GCode File.eia'")
End If

With regard to the sample CNC code above, you'll notice that X and Y commands with a trailing Z command parse correctly.
EDIT
Per comment, here is a breakdown of _commands()
_commands = SortedList(Of Integer, Command)
Command is a class with the following properties:
Scope as Enum ScopeType
Name as String
Key as String
DataType as Type
DataValue as Object
EDIT: Solution!
Figured out what was wrong. The arrays that make up the construction of the classes were essentially being passed a reference to the "registered" array of objects from the Command class. Therefore every time I parsed the value out of the "word" each line, I was overwriting the DataValue in the Command object.
The solution was to declare a new 'Command' object with every parse and append it to the proper array.
Here's my short hand:
...
For I = 0 To words.Length - 1 Step 1
'iterate through each "registered" keyword. Handled earlier in program
For Each cmd as String in _registeredCmds.Keys
'if current word resembles keyword then process
If words(I) Like cmd & "*" Then
'NEW!!! Declare unassigned Command object
Dim com As Command
' ****** New elongated logic double checking existence of values.....
If _registeredCmds.Keys.Scope = ScopeType.Modal Then
'assign Command object to previously declared variable com
com = New Command()'There's technically passing arguments now to ensure items are transferred
Else
'Parse and pass DataValue from this word
com = New Command()'There's technically passing arguments now to ensure items are transferred
End If
'New sub to add Command object to local array
Add(com)
Continue For
End If

Okedoke... I have an Excel spreadsheet with a filename in column A. The filenames listed in column A appear in one or more text files in one or more source directories.
I need Excel to search the text files recursively and return the path(s) of the file(s) that contain the filename specified in column A into column B. If more than one file go to column C etc.
The Excel sheet would be
__________________________________
__|______A___________|______B_____|
1 | filename.avi | |
2 | another_file.flv | |
The text files to search would be in multiple directories under C:\WebDocs\ and are DokuWiki pages some are quite short, such as this page that would need to be returned
===== Problem Description =====
Reopen a closed bank reconciliation.
===== Solution =====
Demonstration of the tool box routine that allows reposting of the bank rec.
{{videos:bank_rec_reopen1006031511.flv|}}
===== Additional Information -cm =====
You may have noticed that in the video there is a number to the right of the bank account number. In this case it was a 0. That indicates department 0 which is all departments. You get the department 0 if you have all departments combined using the option in the bank set up called "One Bank for All Departments". If this setting is not checked then when you create your starting bank rec for each department you will get a 1 to the right of the bank rec for department 1 and so on. You should normally only have a 0, or have numbers 1 or greater. If you have both, then the method was changed after the initial bank rec was made. You just have to be aware of this as you move forward. As always backup before you make any changes.
There are some other pages though that are quite long that do not contain videos but would be in the directories being searched. Format is the same, plain text, ==== are place holders for headings may contain links to other pages/sites.
I did find an existing VBA script that sort of does what I need it to. It does not recurse and returns too much information, date/time stamp for instance, where all I need is the path.
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Dim sh As Worksheet, rng As Range, lr As Long, fPath As String
Set sh = Sheets(1) 'Change to actual
lstRw = sh.Cells.Find(What:="*", After:=sh.Range("A1"), LookAt:=xlPart, LookIn:=xlFormulas, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlPrevious, MatchCase:=False).Row
Set rng = sh.Range("A2:A" & lstRw)
With Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFolderPicker)
.Show
fPath = .SelectedItems(1)
End With
If Right(fPath, 1) <> "\" Then
fPath = fPath & "\"
End If
fwb = Dir(fPath & "*.*")
x = 2
Do While fwb <> ""
For Each c In rng
If InStr(LCase(fwb), LCase(c.Value)) > 0 Then
Worksheets("Sheet2").Range("C" & x) = fwb
Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set f = fs.GetFile(fwb)
Worksheets("Sheet2").Range("D" & x) = f.DateLastModified
Worksheets("Sheet2").Range("B" & x) = f.Path
Worksheets("sheet2").Range("A" & x) = c.Value
Columns("A:D").AutoFit
Set fs = Nothing
Set f = Nothing
x = x + 1
End If
Next
fwb = Dir
Loop
Set sh = Nothing
Set rng = Nothing
Sheets(2).Activate
End Sub
My attempts at moification so far have generally resulted in a broken script and have thus led me here asking for help.
Thanks,

Downlaoded the win32 port of the GNU tool grep from http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/
Saved the list of video files into a plain text file instead of using a spreadsheet.
grep --file=C:\file_containing video_file_names.txt -R --include=*.txt C:\Path\To\Files >grep_output.txt
The information written to the grep_output.txt file looked like
C:\wiki_files\wiki\pages/my_bank_rec_page.txt:{{videos:bank_rec_reopen1006031511.flv|}}
So there was the path to the file containing the video name and the video name on one line.
Imported the grep_output.txt file into a new Excel workbook.
Used regular formulae to do the following
Split Column A at the "/" to give the path in Column A and the page and video information in Column B
Split the data in in Column B at the ":{{" characters leaving page name in Column B and video information in Column C
Stripped the :{{ and |}} from the front and rear of the string in Column C
From my limited experience, it seems you'd want to perform 4 tasks.
1) Loop through Directories
2) Loop through files per directory (Good idea to keep the filename in a variable)
3) Test the text file for values. Would suggest clear a "scribble sheet", import the file, run a check. e.g.
Sheets("YourScratchPatch").Select
Application.CutCopyMode = False
With ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:="TEXT;" & yourpath & yourfile.txt, Destination:=Range("A1"))
.FieldNames = True
.RowNumbers = False
.FillAdjacentFormulas = False
.PreserveFormatting = True
.RefreshOnFileOpen = False
.RefreshStyle = xlInsertDeleteCells
.SavePassword = False
.SaveData = True
.RefreshPeriod = 0
.TextFilePromptOnRefresh = False
.TextFilePlatform = 850
.TextFileStartRow = 2
.TextFileParseType = xlDelimited
.TextFileTextQualifier = xlTextQualifierDoubleQuote
.TextFileConsecutiveDelimiter = False
.TextFileTabDelimiter = True
.TextFileSemicolonDelimiter = False
.TextFileCommaDelimiter = True
.TextFileSpaceDelimiter = False
.TextFileColumnDataTypes = Array(1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1)
.TextFileTrailingMinusNumbers = True
.Refresh BackgroundQuery:=False
End With
4) if values are found, write the file name variable to the index sheet.
I'm sure there should be better (arrays?) ways to do the comparison check as well, but it depends on what's inside the text file (i.e. just one file name?)
More info on the text file structure would be useful. Hope this helps.
I'm writing a script that looks at the current home page of IE. if it is something other than our intranet I grab that value and merge it in to the secondary pages reg key.
Now I have figured out how merge it in to an array(assuming that there are some secondary pages... if there are no big deal). What I am running in to is that there seems to be an extra line when I finally merge it. It's driving me nuts. Any thoughts? Here is the function. There is more tot he script but this is the part that is painful. Thanks

Check the last element of each array to make sure it's not a null string ("") or a non-printing character like Chr(10) or Chr(13) or vbCR, vbLF or vbCRLF.
Interesting question.
Just out of curiosity, why do you merge an array, then rebuild it as an array later on?
arstrings1 = join(arStrings,VBCRLF) 'merge
arstringsnew = Array(arstrings1) 'reassemble
Regardless, I think your split on "chr(0)" is creating this issue and a simple revision too the join command will suffice.
arstrings1 = trim(join(arstrings,vbcrlf))
of if not the case, a quick loop'd'loop
