VB Script

Hi All,

I am attempting to create a small vbscript program that will check a directory to see if it has a file with todays date in it. Then the script will send an e-mail out if there isn't.

Here is the code I have so far


On Error Resume Next
Dim strPath
Dim blnFound
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
strPath = Dir(pstrDir & "\*.*")
While Len(strPath) > 0 And Not blnFound
If Day(FileDateTime(pstrDir & "\" & strPath)) = Day(Now) Then
blnFound = True
End If
strPath = Dir()
Wend
CheckForTodaysFile = blnFound

If CheckForTodaysFile("M:\monitor\edi\edi\dump") Then
Set refOutlook=CreateObject("outlook.application")
sendmail=1
If err <> 0 Then
sendmail=0
End If
On Error GoTo 0
' do usefull stuff
emaildata=("The Releases have not been loaded today. Please check

their status and resolve!")
If sendmail=1 Then
Set refmailitem=refoutlook.createitem(0)
refmailitem.to="[email protected]"
refmailitem.Subject="New Realeses have not been loaded.Please

Check!!"
refmailitem.body=emaildata
refmailitem.send
Set refmailitem=nothing
Set refoutlook = Nothing
End If
End If


But it is not working. Can someone take a look and see if I am missing something.

Thanks for any help...

Just so you know next time put your code using (vbcode) and then paste your code and close it with (/vbcode) but use brackets instead of perenthesis.

VB Code:

On Error Resume Next
 
'the searching part of your code works fine.
Dim strPath
Dim blnFound
pstrDir = "C:\"
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
strPath = Dir(pstrDir & "\*.*")
While Len(strPath) > 0 And Not blnFound
    If Day(FileDateTime(pstrDir & "\" & strPath)) = Day(Now) Then
        blnFound = True
    End If
    strPath = Dir()
Wend
 
'Now what are you doing here? Why are you giving 
'CheckForTodaysFile the blnFound value?
CheckForTodaysFile = blnFound
 
'Then when you use your if statment it seems like you are
'calling the function CheckForTodaysFile with a string
'parameter. What does CheckForTodaysFile do?
If CheckForTodaysFile("M:\monitor\edi\edi\dump") Then
    Set refoutlook = CreateObject("outlook.application")
    sendmail = 1
    If Err <> 0 Then
        sendmail = 0
    End If
    On Error GoTo 0
    ' do usefull stuff
    emaildata = ("The Releases have not been loaded today. Please check their status and resolve!")
    
    If sendmail = 1 Then
        Set refmailitem = refoutlook.createitem(0)
        'I was using my email here to be testing it. 
        refmailitem.to = "[email protected]"
        refmailitem.Subject = "New Realeses have not been loaded.Please Check!!"
        refmailitem.body = emaildata
        refmailitem.send
        Set refmailitem = Nothing
        Set refoutlook = Nothing
    End If
End If

Everything in your code works fine except what is CheckForTodaysFile? Is it a function or a variable? If it is a function please post your code for it otherwise I can't help since that is where your code is messing up.

Hi Maldrid,

Thanks for your reply....

Originally the first part of the code was called "checkfortodaysfile" as a function.

All I want, is for the e-mail to be sent out if there is not a file in the directory with todays date.

I need the program to search the "M:\monitor\edi\edi\dump" folder, and then if it doesn't find the file, to send the e-mail.

Now I know the e-mail part of the code works fine. So how do I link the two parts of the code together?

Thanks.....

Ok here is what your code should look like.

VB Code:

Dim strPath As String
Dim blnFound as Boolean
 
pstrDir = "M:\monitor\edi\edi\dump"
 
'not sure what fso is used for?
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
 
strPath = Dir(pstrDir & "\*.*")
While Len(strPath) > 0 And Not blnFound
    If Day(FileDateTime(pstrDir & "\" & strPath)) = Day(Now) Then
        blnFound = True
    End If
    strPath = Dir()
Wend
 
 
If blnFound Then
    Set refoutlook = CreateObject("outlook.application")
    sendmail = 1
    If Err <> 0 Then
        sendmail = 0
    End If
    On Error GoTo 0
    ' do usefull stuff
    emaildata = ("The Releases have not been loaded today. Please check their status and resolve!")
    
    If sendmail = 1 Then
        Set refmailitem = refoutlook.createitem(0)
        'I was using my email here to be testing it.
        refmailitem.to = "[email protected]"
        refmailitem.Subject = "New Realeses have not been loaded.Please Check!!"
        refmailitem.body = emaildata
        refmailitem.send
        Set refmailitem = Nothing
        Set refoutlook = Nothing
    End If
End If
