Create List Of Files From Folder But Allow Double Click On List Item To Run Bat
I am a newbie
But am making some progress
My next plan is to make a simple dialog with a list box and 3 buttons to do the following
List all the batch files in a folder
then allow me to highlight one item in the list so when I click the button it will run that bat file.
Sounds easy enough but I just keep hitting a brick wall and am not making any progress at all.
All help or similar snipits of code that I can re-organise will be greatfully apperciated.

List All Files In A Folder
Hi,
I've written a simple list all files in a directory using FSO.
VB Code:
Sub GetFiles(Path As String, Ext As String, ResultFileCount As Integer, ResultFileName As String, ResultBeforeDot As String)Dim FSO As New FileSystemObjectDim f, f1, FileList()Dim i As IntegerDim j As Integer i = 0 Set f = FSO.GetFolder(Path) For Each f1 In f.Files If LCase(Right(f1.Name, 3)) = Ext Then i = i + 1 ReDim Preserve FileList(i) Set FileList(i) = f1 Else GoTo EndRoutine End If' Put the filename and count in the varibles ResultFileName = ResultFileName + f1 + vbCrLf ResultFileCount = i ResultBeforeDot = Mid$(f1, Len(Path) + 1) NextEndRoutine:End Sub
The problem that I get is the following.
Got 10 files with the extention of .eps and try and look for a file with .bat It will only look at the eps and not the extention.
I'm wanting to use this as a replacment for FileListBox. This bit of code runs in a module, if thats any help.
Please contact me if more information is needed.
Many thanks for all your help. Merry Christmas..

VB6 - List Files In Folder To Array Question
VB6: I keep getting a type mismatch on this, and have no idea why. My goal is to create an array called sFiles, and have the function polulate it with each file name in the folder.
I've been so preoccupied learning .NET, I think I've forgotten VB6.
Thanks for any help you can provide.
Code:
Dim sFiles() As String
Dim lCtr As Long
sFiles = AllFiles("C:Work")
For lCtr = 0 To UBound(sFiles)
MsgBox sFiles(lCtr)
Next
Private Function AllFiles(ByVal FullPath As String) _
As String()
Dim oFs As New FileSystemObject
Dim sAns() As String
Dim oFolder As Folder
Dim oFile As File
Dim lElement As Long
ReDim sAns(0) As String
If oFs.FolderExists(FullPath) Then
Set oFolder = oFs.GetFolder(FullPath)
For Each oFile In oFolder.Files
lElement = IIf(sAns(0) = "", 0, lElement + 1)
ReDim Preserve sAns(lElement) As String
sAns(lElement) = oFile.Name
Next
End If
MsgBox sAns()
ErrHandler:
Set oFs = Nothing
Set oFolder = Nothing
Set oFile = Nothing

Piece Of Codes To List All Files (and In Sub-dirs) In Specified Folder ?
*I'm not talking about using Dir, File controls to show up the folders and files visually. But I'm talking about a code that will output the file locations.
I want to know how to output the result of detected files in specified folder I want to search for and put the result (Not 1 big result but keep updating 'string' variable with each of files it detects.
Let's say I want to search for files in this folder (test_patch) including files in it's sub-folders
The folder looks like this.
C:
- test_patch [FOLDER]
-- game_main.exe
-- patch1.pk3
-- patch2.pk3
--- dll_files [SUB-FOLDER]
--- engine.dll
--- kernel.dll
---- original_dll [SUB-FOLDER AGAIN]
---- engine.dll
---- kernel.dll
and I want the program to output these values.
game_main.exe
patch1.pk3
patch2.pk3
dll_filesengine.dll
dll_fileskernel.dll
dll_filesoriginal_dllengine.dll
dll_filesoriginal_dllkernel.dll
(cuts off full path, only show path in specified folder [means cuts off C: est_patch)

Move Files To Network Folder And Then Delete Old Ones At Local Folder
I am new at programming with VB6 and I would like to get some help.
I am trying to write a function meeting the following criteria:
* Moves all files (total of 3 files with different extensions)at a local folder (C:GraffitiWork) to a mapped network folder (that is persistent in drive lettering)and then
* replaces the files in the local folder with new ones that are blank (from another local folder named C:GraffitiMaster)
I have looked at the tips using the SHFileOperation function but when I looked at the msdn site, it states that "...you cannot use SHFileOperation to move special folders from a local drive to a remote computer by specifying a network path."
I need to have this done in order for a project to transfer these files on the command of the user to the network folder and then replace it with blank files for the next day's work.
Any help will be appreciated

Trying To Copy Files From Folder To Folder
hello everyone i have a problem with my code and was wandering if someone can help me figure it out.....this is what im trying to do....
i have a text box that has names in it...this can range from 10 names to however many....ok what these names are is the filename of a texture file that is either a .bmp or a .tga....the actull texture file will reside in 1 of three folders.....the first folder would be extures then exturessprites then exturesdecals
and what i need to do is filecopy the actull file that fits the name from my text box to another folder that the user will speicify but for now im saying "c extures"
ok i have code that takes the names in the text box and breaks them down by first placeing them all in one string and then places then one at a time so that i can attach them to a path....sence the command filecopy needs a source and a dest.....
ok i then have code that searches all three folders for me looking to find the file from the textbox in one of the three folders......
ok here is the code that i have for all of it.....
Code:
Private Sub CopyFile(ByVal fn As String, ByVal DestDir As String)
'copies file(s) fn.* from 3 fixed directories to destdir
Dim srcDir As String
Dim s As String
If Right$(DestDir, 1) <> "" Then DestDir = DestDir & ""
srcDir = "c:SierraSWAT3Missionssamplemission exture"
s = Dir$(srcDir & fn & ".*")
While Len(s) 'while s is not null
FileCopy srcDir & fn, DestDir & fn
s = Dir$ 'get another file
Wend
srcDir = "c:SierraSWAT3Missionssamplemission exturedecals"
s = Dir$(srcDir & fn & ".*")
While Len(s) 'while s is not null
FileCopy srcDir & fn, DestDir & fn
s = Dir$ 'get another file
Wend
srcDir = "c:SierraSWAT3Missionssamplemission exturesprites"
s = Dir$(srcDir & fn & ".*")
While Len(s) 'while s is not null
FileCopy srcDir & fn, DestDir & fn
s = Dir$ 'get another file
Wend
End Sub
Private Sub Command5_Click()
Dim i As Integer
Dim names As String
Dim aFn() As String 'array of strings
names = Text1.Text 'collect the names into a single string
'PRESUMABLY you've separated the names somehow, maybe by crlf or tabs or spaces or commas.
' If not, you got a problem....
aFn = Split(names, vbCrLf) 'assumes filenames are separated by spaces
For i = 0 To UBound(aFn)
If Len(aFn(i)) Then 'simple error check
CopyFile aFn(i), "c: extures"
End If
Next i
End Sub
can anyone look at this and tell me why it wont do anything....im not getting an error but its not copying the texture files over either......ive racked my brain till im blue from frustratiuon on this....one thing is that im preaty new to vb and im not use to working with private subs unless they are used in the same event im doing.....thanks everyone in advance

Copying Files To Program Files Folder During Setup
Hi I have modified some VB source code of a tool we had built for us.
All the mods look great but when replace the existing .exe with the one I have created (on the install CD) and install the application it doesn't work.
This is because the VB mods I done open 3 new text based file that MUST be in the applications program files directory for the app to work.
I dont want to create an new installshield because I dont have the software, the current installsheid installs MDAC and some other things and this is all new to me!!
What would be the easiest way to create another setup.exe to first run the original setup.exe then copy these 3 text based files to say c:program files
ewapp?
I could write some vb to copy the files from CD to program files directory.
any good free aps available to do the above??
Any help welcome
Thanks

Listing All Files In A Folder, Including Files In Subfolders...
I'm trying to obtain a list of all files in a folder, im currently just looping through a DirLists "List" property and setting this folder to a FileList, then getting the filenames, but... that doesnt get files in all subfolders... ie...
Code:
For i = -1 To Dir1.ListCount - 1
File1 = Dir1.List(i)
For j = 0 To File1.ListCount - 1
List1.AddItem File1.List(j)
Next j
Next i
I dont mind having to use these list controls because i need them on my form anyway, I've had a look at the file system object for this purpose, but I can't work out how to do it >_<
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Loop Through Folder To Change .txt Files To .xls Files
This seems to be a topic of great discussion...But I can't seem to find what I'm looking for...(And now you know how U2 got the title to their song)
I have a folder on my desktop with 3 years worth of daily .txt files that I need to convert to .xls files...
I have consulted 3 forums, 2 books and numerous experts...but have found no solutions to this task.
This is as close as I can get...(with the help of the previous mentioned sources) What am I missing...
Will someone please help me see what I'm doing wrong.
Code:
Sub ChangeFilesToExcel()
Dim SourceBookName As String
With ThisWorkbook
ChDrive "C:"
ChDir "C:Documents and Settings 123456DesktopDaily Files"
End With
SourceBookName = Dir("*.txt")
While SourceBookName <> ""
Application.StatusBar = SourceBookName
Call macro6(SourceBookName)
SourceBookName = Dir
Wend
End Sub
Code:
Sub macro6(SourceBookName As String)
Dim WB As Workbook
Set WB = Workbooks.Open(SourceBookName)

Display Files All Files In A Folder, Except For .asp Page Itself
I have a question of which i have no idea if it can be accomplished.
The following script shows me all files that are in the folder "/here/okido/", as link on an .asp page.
Quote:
<%
dim IISFOLDER
IISFOLDER = Server.MapPath("/Here/okido/")
Dim fso, folder, File, Files, sFileDetails
Set fso = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set folder = fso.GetFolder(IISFOLDER)
Set Files = folder.Files
For Each File in Files
%>
<b>
<a href = '/Partitions/Joucomatic/<%= File.Name %>' target = '_blank'> <%= File.Name %>
</a>
</b>
<br />
<%
Next
Set folder = Nothing
Set fso = Nothing
%>
Unquote
I have 2 problems:
1.: Each time i wish to use this page in another folder, i have to manually change the folders location ("here/okido/") in the script.
Is there a way to have it automatically show the files of the folder that it is in, without having to change the script all the time?
2.: if i put the asp page in the folder i wish to view the files from, it shows itself in between the files. Can this script be adjusted so it doesn't display the asp page itself?
Thanks in advance for your help
Grant "List Folder Contents" Instead Of "Read" Permissions On Folder
We can grant a user to "List Folder Contents" by manually editting the Security settings, but if we want to do so with CACLS command, we can only grant "Read" (minimum) permissions to the user.
e.g.
C:>cacls c: est /T /E /C /P Guests:R
How can we grant a user to "List Folder Contents" programmatically?
