Vbscript Opentextfile File Not Found
them; it only takes a minute: Sign up Error if file already doesn't exist fso.OpenTextFile method up vote 0 down vote favorite I'm using the OpenTextFile method for appending some text to a log file. Sub saveStringToFile(filename, text) Dim fso, f Set f = fileSysObject.OpenTextFile(filename, 8) f.Write text f.Close End Sub It works fine if the file exists already, but filesystemobject writeline invalid procedure call generates a runtime error if the target file is not found. Is there any flag for OpenTextFile or an alternate method to create a new file & append if file doesn't exist already? vbscript share|improve this question edited Jun 27 '14 at 7:04 Ansgar Wiechers 87k1165104 asked Jun 26 '14 at 12:27 Abdullah Leghari 7083927 add a comment| 2 Answers 2 active oldest votes up vote 2 down vote accepted When in doubt, read the documentation: object.OpenTextFile(filename[, iomode[, create[, format]]]) Arguments [...] create Optional. Boolean value that indicates whether a new file can be created if the specified filename doesn't exist. The value is True if a new file is created, False if it isn't created. If omitted, a new file isn't created. Call OpenTextFile with the 3rd parameter set to True in order to create the file if it doesn't exist: Set f = fileSysObject.OpenTextFile(filename, 8, True) share|improve this answer answered Jun 26 '14 at 12:59 Ansgar Wiechers 87k1165104 Hi, Thanks for answer.

Did you maybe declare strInputPath1 as another type somewhere else? I don't see your Dim statements... you could include more code or a pastebin link. –Papasmile Jun 13 '13 at 17:41 thanks..got the fso named wrong –user505210 Jun 13 '13 at 17:45 add a comment| 2 Answers 2 active oldest votes up vote 3 down vote If you feed something that VBScript can use as a string to .OpenTextFile, the method will try to open a file and perhaps throw a "file not found" error. >> strInputPath1 = "C:\test" & "\" & "css" & "\" & "main.css" >> WScript.Echo strInputPath1 >> set f = goFS.OpenTextFile(

I'd like to have this script write to a separate file (C:\MassCopyError.txt) for each PC that fails, then notify me when it's finished.So far, I'm able to copy the file without error, and I'm able to write the first PC that fails, but I can't get it to write more than one error, and I can't get it to notify me when it's finished. It just copies, notifies me there's been one error, logs one error, and closes out. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? I know this would be easier in pure VB or even C++, but I'm trying to do it in VBS.
