Need some script help.

[newbie_of_jan0502]

I have a couple of scripts that turn off and on flash by renaming the file. It would be nice to be able to have just one script that would look to see what the file is currently named then rename it accordingly. Here is the current scripts.

Flash Off.

Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
objFSO.MoveFile "C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash\Flash.ocx" , "C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash\offFlash.ocx"

objFSO.MoveFile "C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash\swFlash.ocx" , "C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash\offswFlash.ocx"

Flash On.

Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
objFSO.MoveFile "C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash\offFlash.ocx" , "C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash\Flash.ocx"

objFSO.MoveFile "C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash\offswFlash.ocx" , "C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash\swFlash.ocx"

I'm using *.vbs file.
I'm thinking I may need to search the folder then use some sort of "if" to reduce these down to just one script. I'm not sure. Anybody help with this?

Thanks.

Im not too good with flash, but couldnt you use an if to test for "flash.ocx"

If it exists then
turn flash off
else
turn flash on
end if

There's a FileExists method on the FileSystemObject object. Shouldn't be too hard to use that in conjunction with the MoveFile method you are using already.

Code: Select all

Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
If objFSO.FileExists("C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash\Flash.ocx") Then
    objFSO.MoveFile "C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash\Flash.ocx" , "C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash\offFlash.ocx"
Else
    objFSO.MoveFile "C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash\offFlash.ocx" , "C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash\Flash.ocx"
End If

It assumes a fair bit in terms of the files that exist, but that should work as a simple toggle. You could make it safer and add some status reporting but that's a core to work from.

Apologies if the syntax is wrong, I'm coding off the top of my head and haven't checked it.
