"Scripting.FileSystemObject"

[Nitro]

I have never seen this type of library before until a member by the name of "Ramdasv" used it. It this new to VB 6 only and how do I find all of its properties and methods?

  Dim Fobj
  Set Fobj = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
  Fobj.DeleteFolder "c:\AA"
  Set Fobj = Nothing

THis is a vbscript feature just see in ur MS-InterDev

I have VB6 so I don't know if it is available in the lower versions but reference the 'Microsoft Scripting Runtime' then declare it like so:

Public fs as New Scripting.FileSystemObject

then when you type fs. it will give the list of methods

The scripting library kicks ass

The fileSystemObject stuff is part of the scripting library and provides access to the file system of the machine in an object fashion. You get file and folder objects, and in the scripting library there's a textstream object for reading and writing files. It's easy to use and much better than the old VB file stuff.

There's an MS how-to at
http://support.microsoft.com/support...1/18.ASP<br />

which should give you everything you need to get started.

Yes it is VB6 only. I love it as well, makes file manipulation almost enjoyable.

You can add Microsfot Scripting Runtime "scrrun.dll" reference to your vb project you can use the object browser to find its properties and methods
