• Alix VBS Script Help

  Hi, I'm not sure if this is the correct forum or not. If not, please let me know where to post. I would like to create a script that will rename files based on a users input. So far I have a basic batch file that will do the job, but I want something that they wont have to edit. The files needing to be renamed are usually something like 06M123AB.000 where the 123 would be the only thing renamed in the folder. I would like to, if possible, let the user input the old numbers (123)  then input the new numbers (456) and have all files in the current directory renamed. I was thinking a VB Script would be better for this. Thanks for the help.           ...Show All

• Steve Hempen Adding Bytes

  Ok I have a rather large file I have created (40mb) and I want to stick same data in the middle with a program using the BinaryWriter. How can I do this cause if you do the BW.Write method itll only overwrite the data not add new data. I would suggest that instead of loading everything to memory you create a new file instead. You can then do a block transfer using a smaller buffer from the original file into the new file up to the point before where you want to insert the new data. After you insert your data, you can then then continue with the block transfer. Needless to say at the end you just delete the original file and rename the temporary one. Hope this helps, Abel. 40MB is pushing i ...Show All

• OmegaMan Excel Macros/ Protection / HideUnhide VB command

  Here is what I am doing I am using the HideUnhide command for of course HideUnhide rows. Here is a simplyfied version of what I am doing I have rows 1-20 and let's say when I input the number 5 in an specific cell (let's say A1) I want rows 15-20 to hide. This is easy and I can do it, but when I lock any of the cell on rows 15-20 and run macros, then it gives me an error. It seems that since the command HideUnhide does not have priority over lock cells it doesn't allow me to do it. in other words, if I lock cell A18 I cannot use the HideUnhide command because it would send an error. Is there a way to do this I have asked many people but noone seems to know how. Pierre These forums ...Show All

• JollyChollie Running 'user selected' applications

  Hi there, A fair while ago I started a project, to try and launch a specific set of applications. Not windows programs. Inititally through their own command buttons, then by checkboxes and a single command button, however I could never get the thing to work.

• sergun XML or a database?

  I'm creating a program that basically parses textfiles and stores them into a database for easier manipulation (so I can run queries on a DB instead of parsing/comparing/etc raw text on-the-fly) Currently I am using an Access database to store everything, but now that I realize .NET has such great XML support, I figure this may be a better option.  I'm thinking of storing each file into its own XML file then loading the selected file into a dataset and pulling info from it.  This is basically what I'm doing now, but instead of XML, it's the Access db. Does anyone have any advice on which method is better  EDIT: Wow, I forgot to mention something important.  What I wanted to know is, how do I han ...Show All
