<Slapped Wrist accepted>. Ok. Thanks.

Hi PH, I have nothing so far! When I say I don't have much knowledge, that's perhaps an understatement :( I wouldn't know where to start.

Hi, as some of you will already know, I don't have much knowledge with VBScript.... I am in need of a script that will take a file, open it and on the top line of that file, add the name of the file to it. For instance... The name of the file is "DTF0001.txt" and the file might contain...

Guys, thank-you VERY much! I'm not in the office at the moment, but I'll have a go when I get in tonight and will report back the results. Once again you've saved my life! I keep on & on asking my boss to send me on some courses to learn VB but the answer? Always the same, "We'll look at...

HI all, I'm back pleading with you guys for some more help! Regular visitors will know I'm completely dumb s'far as VB goes :( I need to be able to delete a line of text in a file that contains the word "projected". It can appear anywhere on the line. I have been looking at this script...

PHV, thank-you! That is doing *exactly* what I want it to do :-) One question - how can I make it work so that it opens every file in a specified directory? I usually have 9 files that I need to do and would like to be able to get the script to open each one in turn (and order) rather than...

Hi, some of you may have seen my name pop up occasionally. For those that have, &quot;Hi&quot;! For those that haven't, &quot;Hi, you'll soon realise I don't know the slightest thing about VB :-(&quot;. I have a requirement at work to &quot;edit&quot; a text file and delete some lines of...

Thanks a lot guys! I'll give it a try.

I have a need to work out &quot;yesterdays&quot; Julian date and then write that out to a file. Does anyone know how this could be achieved? At first I was thinking of just having a file that had the number incremented by 1 every day. Of course this wouldn't work due the need to reset it on...

In the meanwhile, I spoke to a friend who suggested: if acontents(ubound(acontents)) = &quot;&quot; then redim preserve acontents(ubound(acontents) - 1) end if and that seems to work ok - only that's working on any empty lines within the data I think? Will try your solution ;-)

Thanks once again for the quick reply! It still appears to be doing the same thing...Here's the script in full: const sPath = &quot;c:\testarena&quot; 'some path you specify const ForReading = 1, ForWriting = 2, ForAppending = 8 set fso=createobject(&quot;scripting.filesystemobject&quot;) on...

Eek! One more thing...It's working great except for one thing - it's adding one number too many - for instance, if I have a 5 line file, it's putting a 6 at the top of the file. If it's a 1 line file, it's putting a 2 and so on.. I don't know if it's reading an extra CRLF or something in the...

Yep, works brilliantly! Thank-you very much for the help - I'll implement it today and it should all be plain-sailing from now! Thanks again :)

Will try now and post back! Thanks for the quick response...

Thanks again for that, really making progress! I just tried running that script and I received (my first!) error message: Script: c:\linecount.vbs Line: 13 Char: 1 Error: Object required: 'sfolder' Code: 800A01A8 Source: Microsoft VBScript runtime error ? Sorry for all the questions...
