Files Exist

[LeighTT]

I have a script that runs a net use command to remote
workstations Admin$. Once the Net use authentication takes place I need to confirm I have access to files within the
share. If I were using shell script I would run the following command.

If file Exists \\Workstation\admin\*.*

However as far as I can see you cannot use wildcards using the FileExists method in VBscript.

Can anybody give me a suggestion of how best to get round this problem......

You can instantiate a Folder object and browse its Files collection.

Hope This Helps, PH.

LeighTT,

You can try this in vbs.
[tt]
if createobject("scripting.filesystemobject).getfolder("\\Workstation\admin").files.count<>0 then
[/tt]
Of course, you've to make sure the share established.
