converting from javascript to vbscript

[databasedeveloping]

Im working with converting from javascript to vbscript,
im totally lost in javascript and would be happy to get help with this easy one to get started.

Javascript:

var fc;
fc = new Enumerator(f.SubFolders);

while(!fc.atEnd())
{
sTmp = new String(fc.item());
fc.moveNext();
}



what does this looks like in vbscript?
thank you for answering!

Hello databasedeveloping,

The forum probably tolerates quite badly for this kind of request. It is all right once for a while. So you have to do your part.

dim fc
set fc = f.SubFolders
for each folder in fc
    sTmp = folder.name
next

(I suppose this is a short extract otherwise sTmp is quite pointless.)

Hi tsuji,

of course its an short extract,

thank you for answering!

 

[databasedeveloping]

can i skip .name

dim fc
set fc = f.SubFolders
for each folder in fc
sTmp = folder
next


do you know if it matters?

databasedeveloping,

No. folder is here an object, whereas folder.name is a string. That's why.

okey, but what about the difference between sTmp and f here

var f2, fc2, sTmp,f;
fc2 = new Enumerator(f2.files)

while(!fc2.atEnd())
{
sTmp = new String(fc2.item());
f = fc2.item();

databasedeveloping,

It is still No. The reason is the same.

But, I must add a note here. The default property which is being returned by either
new String(fc2.item());
or
new String(fc.item());
are both the path, rather than the name. Hence, the exact conversion in the first script block is actually this, to be exact:

dim fc
set fc = f.SubFolders
for each folder in fc
    sTmp = folder.[blue]path[/blue]
next
