    Resolved [RESOLVED] GetAttr Err.Number = 5 ?

    Hi,

    I'm new to this forum, i encountered an err.number = 5 when i tried to use GetAttr() on a file path. I used this GetAttr() in a For loop. I tried looking many places but msdn only mentions about error 52 and 53, no mention of 5 was found. Can anyone help? Is there any place where i can get a full list of error codes for GetAttr()?
    Thanks! Below is my code for reference.

    Peter

    VB Code:
    1. Public Function fnFindTargetComp(arrInTargetComp) As Boolean
    2.     Dim Filename$, i, res As Boolean
    3.     Dim vAttr
    4.    
    5.     Err.Clear
    6.     On Error GoTo ErrorHandler
    7.  
    8.     For i = 0 To UBound(arrInTargetComp)
    9.         Filename$ = "C:\FASIP\" & Trim$(arrInTargetComp(i)) & ".hex"
    10.         ' Get the attributes and ensure that it isn't a directory
    11.         vAttr = GetAttr(Filename$)
    12.         fnFindTargetComp = ((vAttr And vbDirectory) <> vbDirectory)
    13.         dbg (Filename$)
    14.     Next i
    15.    
    16.     Exit Function
    17.  
    18. ErrorHandler:
    19.     Select Case Err.Number
    20.         Case 52    ' Pathname is invalid or contains wildcards
    21.             MsgBox ("File :" & Filename$ & "has invalid pathname or contains wildcards.")
    22.         Case 53    ' Target file does not exist
    23.             MsgBox ("File :" & Filename$ & "does not exist.")
    24.         Case Else
    25.             MsgBox ("File : Unknown error")
    26.     End Select
    27.  
    28. End Function

    Re: GetAttr Err.Number = 5 ?

    Just to clarify, the err.number = 5 occurs only at the final loop. Pls help, thanks.

    Talking Re: GetAttr Err.Number = 5 ?

    Hi,

    Thanks for all the replies, i've managed to find out why, and it's rather careless of me.
    The filename$ looks perfectly ok to me when i add it to watch when debugging. However, when i try to print it out, it became apparent to me.
    It looks something like this:
    "abcdefg .hex"
    instead of:
    "abcdefg.hex"
    The spaces before .hex is actually tabs, not white spaces, that's why my trim$() doesn't work on it. (i hope i'm right that trim$ only trims away white spaces but not tabs)

    Thanks again folks, might need help again next time round
