Normonator Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 Here is a small section of my script. What I am trying to accomplish is that I am finding these files by using wildcards in fileexists(). Is there any possible way to get the filename based off of wildcards if only one file matches the criteria? Something like filegetname("1*.bkf") that returns the full file name.I would like this script to be able to stringtrimleft($string,1) the filename, so that I can change the first portion of file name.File name example:"0 01-31-13 16.01.20 full System Backup.bkf"would change to:"1 01-31-13 16.01.20 full System Backup.bkf"For $z = 5 to "0" Step -1 If FileExists($backupdest & $z & "*.bkf") Then FileMove($backupdest & $z & "*.bkf",$backupdest & ($z+1) & "*.bkf",0) EndIfAny help would be appreciated. Thanks. [member='That Guy']~~Normonator~~
BrewManNH Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 You should use something like _FileListToArray and then loop through the results to do with the files found what you need to do. FileExists only returns 1 or 0 (exists or doesn't exist), it won't return the file name found If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.Give a programmer the correct code and he can do his work for a day.
