    I'm trying to script some DNS Atype and PTRtype data entries. I've thoroughly studied the MSDN Library createInstanceFromPropertydata method and queried DNS for pointer and A records for precise examples and every time I run this script, I recieve a Generic Failure error on the first instance...

    Array Input Filtering

    I tried this and I received an error message. Is there a way to go from 6 elements to 7 and back to 6 again? Will redimming the array work in this instance? [code] Const ForReading = 1 Set oFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")sInputFile = "c:\Userupdatetest.csv" Set oFile =...

    Array Input Filtering

    Thanks PHV, that worked perfectly. Is it possible to remove comma strings after the 6th comma? For example, my last column (title)contains comma's and this screws with split function. I looked into doing this in excel however, I don't want to load excel on my batch server. Thank you in advance.

    Array Input Filtering

    Think I'm on the right track here. I found the filter function and have been playing around with it some. The problem I'm having now is, when there is a NULL value in the sLogon portion of the array, it fills in with the sCompany and on down the line. I then receive an error message saying...

    Array Input Filtering

    I'm reading a CSV file into an array however, some of the values in the csv file can be either NULL or - values and they can show up randomly in any one of the positions.

    Ctrl-C out of a Continuous Ping in Powershell

    Mark, You're correct...sorry again for the confusion. I'm in the dark ages and still using Windows XP 32-bit if you can believe it so UAC isnt my issue. I will incorporate the new code in my script. Thank you very much for your time!

    Ctrl-C out of a Continuous Ping in Powershell

    Mark, Thanks for the code. What does that do to fix my problem when typing ping -t www.yahoo.com in a Powershell window and not being able to Ctrl-C to stop the pings? Is your code something I have to do in my powershell profile? I'm not sure what you are telling me.

    Ctrl-C out of a Continuous Ping in Powershell

    It's funny how you think you are being clear and when you look back at your question, it wasn't clear at all. I'm setting up some continuous ping scripts within Powershell and as I try to stop the pings I'm not able to use any of the shortcuts I've used in the past i.e., Ctrl-C (main one)...

    Ctrl-C out of a Continuous Ping in Powershell
