VBScript to loop through all files in a folder
Your current script basically does the following:
Set objFile = objFSO.OpenTextFile("...", ForReading)
Do Until objFile.AtEndOfStream
strLine = objFile.ReadLine
'do stuff with strLine and append to strText
Loop
objFile.Close
Set objFile = objFSO.OpenTextFile("...", ForWriting)
objFile.Write strText
objFile.Close
For processing all files in a given folder you just need to add an outer loop around that, and adjust some instructions accordingly:
For Each f In objFSO.GetFolder("C:\some\folder").Files
Set objFile = f.OpenAsTextStream
Do Until objFile.AtEndOfStream
strLine = objFile.ReadLine
'do stuff with strLine and append to strText
Loop
objFile.Close
Set objFile = f.OpenAsTextStream(ForWriting)
objFile.Write strText
objFile.Close
Next
What would be even better is to do a recursive function to go into all folders that are below your main folder and search those as well.. Just and idea :)
Maybe this will clear things up. (Or confuse you more, )
Const ForReading = 1
Const ForWriting = 2
sFolder = "H:\Letter Display\Letters\"
Set oFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
For Each oFile In oFSO.GetFolder(sFolder).Files
If UCase(oFSO.GetExtensionName(oFile.Name)) = "LTR" Then
ProcessFiles oFSO, oFile
End if
Next
Set oFSO = Nothing
Sub ProcessFiles(FSO, File)
Set oFile2 = FSO.OpenTextFile(File.path, ForReading)
