I had everything ready to go and now I learn my PST script needs to over-look a PST file that always has the same name, but is on a number of different servers. I looked in the help section but I could not find any command to over-look, exclude, ignore ect. the file. My script is below and works great:

;Local $sUserName = "Administrator"
;Local $sPassword = "SomePassword"
;RunAs($sUserName, @ComputerName, $sPassword, 0, @SystemDir)

#include <Array.au3>
#include "RecFileListToArray.au3"
PST()
Func PST()
    Local $aArray, $aDrives = DriveGetDrive("FIXED") ; Read the Help file about DriveGetDrive.
    If @error = 0 Then
        For $i = 1 To $aDrives[0]
            $aArray = _RecFileListToArray($aDrives[$i] & "", "*.pst", 1, 1, 0, 2)
            If @error Then
                ContinueLoop
            EndIf
            For $j = 1 To $aArray[0]
                ;ConsoleWrite("FileDelete(" & $aArray[$j] & ")" & @CRLF)
    FileDelete($aArray[$j])
            Next
        Next
EndIf

EndFunc   ;==>PST

If every server has a PST called "Batman.PST", how can I exclude that file and still remove the others?

I'm not sure if this will help exactly the way you are looking for but after your array is built you can use _ArraySearch to find any Batman.PST instances and _ArrayDelete the index.

RBrown1375,

You should have posted in the RecFileListToArray thread, but now that you are here...:D

Just use the $sExclude_List parameter like this: ;)

$aArray = _RecFileListToArray($aDrives[$i] & "", "*.pst", 1, 1, 0, 2, "Batman.PST")

Or you could just ignore those files when you delete: :D

For $j = 1 To $aArray[0]
    If $aArray[$j] <> "Batman.PST Then
        FileDelete($aArray[$j])
    EndIf
Next

All clear? :)

I'll give this a try to both posts. Thank you!

Melba23,

The first solution you offered works fine, but I'm curious to know if there is a way to add another excluded file to that line? example:

$aArray = _RecFileListToArray($aDrives[$i] & "", "*.pst", 1, 1, 0, 2, "SomeName.PST" "SomeOtherName.PST")

I'm just covering my bases..... ;)

Cheers

As I wrote the UDF I should hope so! :D

but I'm curious to know if there is a way to add another excluded file to that line?

At times you wonder why you bother to write function headers explaining what the parameters mean....;)

You just need to separate the different masks with a semi-colon:

$sExclude_List - Optional: filter for excluded results (default ""). Multiple filters must be separated by ";"

All clear now? :)

I did read the headers and tried to write my code based on yours, but mine fails on the ";".

$aArray = _RecFileListToArray($aDrives[$i] & "", "*.pst", 1, 1, 0, 2, "SomeName.PST" )

If I run this example above, my script will protect the underlined file, but no others when I add code variations or the ";". I'll keep at it.

Thanks

RBrown1375,

The line should look like this:

$aArray = _RecFileListToArray($aDrives[$i] & "", "*.pst", 1, 1, 0, 2, "SomeName.PST;SomeOtherName.PST")

I have just tested it and it really does work. ;)
