I've written a script that will search a machine.config for various strings. It has just occurred to me that there might be varying installs of .NET Framework.

This is what I need to do:

Search under C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\ for
directories starting with v (v*) for each
directory matching above ($directory)
opentextfile $directory/config/machine.config

What is the correct syntax to accomplish this?

I have created a script that successfully searches a single text file and outputs a regex match. What I am need assistance with is searching MULTIPLE text files in .NET Framework directories, rather than creating multiple statements for each possible iteration.

So, I guess you want to use the Subfolders collection.

OK, this is what I have so far:

Set filesys = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set winPath = filesys.GetSpecialFolder(0)
strPath = winPath & "\Microsoft.NET\Framework"
Set folder = filesys.GetFolder(strPath)
Set sfolder = folder.SubFolders

For Each f1 in sFolder
If Left(f1.Path,12) = strPath & "\v" Then
s = s & f1.name
s = s & vbCrLfc
End If
Next
wscript.echo s

The problem is that it's not returning anything.

I figured it out, I wasn't accounting for all the characters in the path:

Set filesys = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set winPath = filesys.GetSpecialFolder(0)
strPath = winPath & "\Microsoft.NET\Framework"
Set folder = filesys.GetFolder(strPath)
Set sfolder = folder.SubFolders

For Each f1 in sFolder
If Left(f1.Path,36) = strPath & "\v" Then
s = s & f1.name
s = s & vbCrLfc
End If
Next
wscript.echo s

I'd replace this:
If Left(f1.Path,36) = strPath & "\v" Then
with this:
If Left(f1.Name,1) = "v" Then

Thanks for that.

It does make more sense to use the folder name rather than path. I was going to create an if...else statement to handle different path lengths but this is so much simpler.
