File creation by using Vb script

Question

I need a VB script which will create text file named "listitem" in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\secon\smartapp up to C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\ we can make it as 'CommonAppDataFolder'

Any one knows about this

Answer 1

OK, let's see if I can remember how to do this...

Dim fso 'As Scripting.FileSystemObject
Dim stream 'As Scripting.TextStream

Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

'Check that the secon folder exists
If fso.FolderExists("C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\secon") Then
Else
    fso.CreateFolder("C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\secon")
End If

'Check that the smartapp folder exists
If fso.FolderExists("C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\secon\smartapp") Then
Else
    fso.CreateFolder("C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\secon\smartapp")
End If

'Create the file as ASCII text, overwrite it if it already exists
Set stream = fso.CreateTextFile("C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\secon\smartapp\listitem.txt", true, false)

'Close it neatly
stream.Close

'Clean up
Set stream = Nothing
Set fso = Nothing

Here're some tips for you:

• To obtain the CommonAppData path programmatically, use the Shell.Namespace(35) method. (35 is the folder id according to the ShellSpecialFolderConstants Enumeration.) See this question for an example.
• To concatenate two paths, use the FileSystemObject.BuildPath method.
• To create text files, you can use the FileSystemObject.CreateTextFile method.

Hope you can manage the rest yourself. :)
