 Posted: Thu Mar 09, 2006 3:00 am Post subject: Checking if some files exist... |
 |
|
Whenever I'm trouble-shooting a PC, I need to check whether some DLLs & OCXs are already in the system. I know that there are cmds like FileExist, IfExist and IfNotExist. Then I was thinking about an array-like variable that would store all the filenames that the script would check before returning true/false. But the problem is I'm not sure about how to set a list of DLLs/OCXs that would be loaded into the array when the script starts...
I was hoping that someone with the know-how could help me out here...
thanks in advance...

Whenever i want more than one line of output (more than a msgbox) i use html, cuase i can color it etc. This should do it:
| Code: | FileOfFiles = files.txt ;A file that has the list of files, NOTE: one file per line
Output = report.html
FileAppend,
(
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<title>Untitled Document</title>
</head>
<body>
), %output%
i=0
Loop
{
i += 1
FileReadLine, file, %FileOfFiles%, %i%
if ErrorLevel <> 0
break
IfExist, %file%
FileAppend, <font color=#00FF00>%file% is present</font><br>, %output%
else
FileAppend, <font color=#FF0000>%file% is absent!!</font><br>, %output%
}
FileAppend,
(
</body>
</html>
), %output% |
You need a files.txt file that has something like this:
| Code: | These are random files
C:\Windows\PowerReg.dat
C:\Windows\NotePad.exe
C:\Windows\regopt.log
C:\Windows\regedit.exe |

I see such titles sometime, while surfing on the Internet. Not always homepages, sometime serious corporate pages...

Thanks Veovis, the script works perfectly! I was wondering how to put the results on a GUI but your solution with HTML file is superb!, now I can just use some CSS coding to add background color & et. al... 
| Quote: | | FileOfFiles = files.txt ;A file that has the list of files, NOTE: one file per line |
btw, is that script possible without any additional "files.txt" because I'd like to add the list straight in the script. e.g. the sequence of files can be broken by a comma or semi-colon...
thanks again...
best regards,
badmojo

yuck.
I just typed up a reply and closed the window on accident.
Here we go again:
Having a String Parse will actually probably be better than a FileReadLine loop. Good Idea! Heres the Code:
| Code: | Output = report.html
FileAppend,
(
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<title>File Report</title>
</head>
<body>
), %output%
Files = C:\Windows\PowerReg.dat,C:\Windows\NotePad.exe,C:\Windows\regopt.log,C:\Windows\regedit.exe
Loop, Parse, Files, `,
{
IfExist, %A_LoopField%
FileAppend, <font color=#00FF00>%A_LoopField% is present</font><br>, %output%
else
FileAppend, <font color=#FF0000>%A_LoopField% is absent!!</font><br>, %output%
}
FileAppend,
(
</body>
</html>
), %output% |
| Quote: | | <title>File Report</title> |
Is that better PhiLho?

Much better. Of course, my remark was more for pages on the Net than for internal/throwable pages. It was just an opportunity to rant against sloppy webmasters (not you!  ).
Just a little remark (we are picky, aren't we?):
I would choose an illegal path character as filename separator: the comma is legal in a filename.
Files =
( Join| ; Or Join*, etc.
C:\Windows\PowerReg.dat
C:\Windows\NotePad.exe
C:\Windows\regopt.log
C:\Windows\regedit.exe
)
The continuation section is better if the list of files becomes long...
Don't forget to change the Loop Parse command...

You shouldn't mix XML and the font-tag together. This is like mixing fire and water! Good browsers shows nothing or switching in her promiscous mode to show at least something.
If you are viewing your files only at your own computer this is enough:
| Code: | FileOfFiles = files.txt ;A file that has the list of files, NOTE: one file per line
Output = report.html
i=0
Loop
{
i += 1
FileReadLine, file, %FileOfFiles%, %i%
if ErrorLevel <> 0
break
IfExist, %file%
FileAppend, <font color=#00FF00>%file% is present</font><br>, %output%
else
FileAppend, <font color=#FF0000>%file% is absent!!</font><br>, %output%
}

That top section was just copied from a blank DreamWeaver 8 document, so alot of it is probably uneeded, but it works, so...

yes, i understand that it was meant as an example... anyway i had modified them to include CSS formatting and it works very well. of course, it's not for mass distribution...
anyway, tks kapege.de for pointing it out
