MattX Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 I want to move or copy a file 'prefs.js' over into user's Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\random.default/ dir.The random being a mix of letters and numbers for each user's profile.I thought a simple Filemove:FileMove('\\server01\apps\misc\firefox fix\prefs_test.js', 'n:\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\*default', 1)would do, but this is not working - can someone tell me how to state the *default directory ? - The name is always a mixture of letters & numbers with a .default at the end:eg:vjlpghon.defaultwj7k8si8.defaultWhere am I going wrong with the wildcard ?

GEOSoft Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 You can't use a wildcard in FileMove() or FileCopy(). They need a fully qualified path. This should work. $sBase = "N:Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\";; Why not just @AppDataDir & "\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\" ?? $sPath = "" If FileExists($sBase) Then $sSearch = FileFindFirstFile($sBase & "*.default") If $sSearch Then While 1 $sPath = FileFindNextFile($sSearch) If @Error Then ExitLoop If NOT StringInStr(FileGetAttrib($sBase & $sPath), "D") Then ContinueLoop $sPath = $sBase & $sPath Wend EndIf FileClose($sSearch) EndIf If $sPath Then FileMove("\\server01\apps\misc\firefox fix\prefs_test.js", $sPath & "\prefs_test.js", 1) George Question about decompiling code?
