Get File Version & Pipe To A File

[BKJ]

I am looking for a simple script that will get the file version of a particular file and then write the output to a text file on a network share. Can anyone help me with this easy script? I will need to run this on many workstations so the file must be either appended to or a specific file for each machine, ie %computername%.txt, will need to be created. If using a single appended file I will need to have the machine name included in the text file along with the file version. I thank you in advanced.

You can get the file version with FileGetVersion() and then append the status to the file you want using _FileWriteLog() and naming the file via the macro @ComputerName. Have you written any AutoIT code yet?

No I have not. What I do have is only this:

$ver = FileGetVersion("C:\Program Files\MOZILLA FIREFOX\firefox.exe")

MsgBox(0, "FireFox Version", $ver)

Which I got from the help file. But like I said I need it to go to a file on a network share.

Cool, now combine that with writing it to the log file:

#include<file.au3>
$ver = FileGetVersion("C:\Program Files\MOZILLA FIREFOX\firefox.exe")
_FileWriteLog('C:\' & @ComputerName & '_FileVer.log', $ver)

In order to use the User Defined Function (UDF) _FileWriteLog(), you have to include the file.au3 file. You get the file version, then the next line writes it to a log file with a date/time stamp. You can run it more than once and it will just keep adding to the file. If you don't want the date/time stamp, change it to FileWriteLine. The log file will be in C:\, but you can edit that as required too...
