Problem with FSO Textstream and REGEX

[dougcranston]

I am having a problem with scripting a match of a string from a text file.

The file is created by redirecting the output to a tmpfile called physmedia.tmp from RSM

This is to test to see if there is a backup tape in the tape drive.

The file that is created does have the text I am trying to match to which is:

"The command completed successfully."

However nothing displays for either the Winner or Loser.

So I tried moving the following lines to just before the WHILE:

var strLine = ts.ReadLine();
WScript.Echo(strLine);

just to see if anything was being seen.

What I get is "Input past end of file" Error 800A003E

So I have looked at the file and have noted that there is not EOF marker ASCII CTRL-Z

Tried an old DOS trick of creating a file with just the CTRL-Z in it and appending it before running my script.

Nothing is displayed when I moved it back to after the WHILE and still got an error "Input past end of file" message when I left the code prior to the WHILE.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

CODE FOLLOWS:



var tstRE = /The command completed successfully./;

var fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
var ts = fspenTextFile("c:\\physmedia.tmp",1,true);

while (!ts.AtEndOfStream)
{
var strLine = ts.ReadLine();
WScript.Echo(strLine);

if (strLine.match(tstRE) == true) {

WScript.Echo("Winner");
}
else {
WScript.Echo("loser");
}
}

Issue has been resolved...

Found issue with the regex and now works.
