New Mexico Mark New Mexico Mark Hey THIS is FUN Registered: 2002-01-03 Posts: 223 Loc: Columbia, SC	If the string includes the file location, this is as simple as: 1. Open the file and read the line to $MyStr 2. If Exist($MyStr) ... Am I missing something? NMM

acmp acmp Getting the hang of it Registered: 2004-07-02 Posts: 69 Loc: Bingham, Nottinghamshire, Engl...	Or do you want to check the contents of a file agaist the text string? I think this needs a bit of clarification. If the others have got it right just ignore me, my wife does so you can too. If however they haven't got it right can you post some more info and an example of what you are trying to achieve. Thanks acmp<>< _________________________ Every day is a school day

TTripn TTripn Fresh Scripter Registered: 2004-07-22 Posts: 8	Hi all, This is what i want to do: I have two txt files. Each file contains the @wksta. I want to compare the contents of both files. If the @wksta exist in only file 'A' then output the @wksta into another txt file. If exist in both 'A' and 'B' then execute xxx.... is this enough info? thanxxxx

Les Les KiX Master Registered: 2001-06-11 Posts: 12734 Loc: fortfrances.on.ca	The easiest would be to just shell out and type and pipe to find. Code: break on $A = 'C:\FileA.txt' $B = 'C:\FileB.txt' $ShellCMD = '%comspec% /c type "' + $A + '"\| find /i "' + @WkSta + '"' Shell $ShellCMD If @Error = 1 'Computer ' + @WkSta + ' not found in ' + $A ? EndIf $ShellCMD = '%comspec% /c type "' + $B + '"\| find /i "' + @WkSta + '"' Shell $ShellCMD If @Error = 0 'Computer ' + @WkSta + ' found in ' + $B ? EndIf _________________________ Give a man a fish and he will be back for more. Slap him with a fish and he will go away forever.

TTripn TTripn Fresh Scripter Registered: 2004-07-22 Posts: 8	Hi Les, Unfortunately your code only works if it is executed during the logon process. I'm actually looking for a script that can run independent of the logon process. thankxx for the help....

Oh, and the code provided to you will work, independent of whether it's run as part of the login script or not. Logon scripts have per se nothing to do with KiXtart scripts. However, kiXtart scripts can be utilized as part of a logon procedure. _________________________ There are two types of vessels, submarines and targets.

Les Les KiX Master Registered: 2001-06-11 Posts: 12734 Loc: fortfrances.on.ca	Well, it does not take rocket science to replace the @WkSta macro with any computer name. This is not the drive-through window serving up ready code on a silver platter. _________________________ Give a man a fish and he will be back for more.

TTripn TTripn Fresh Scripter Registered: 2004-07-22 Posts: 8	Hi all, Thankyou for all your help....appreciate it. I managed to spring together these few lines of code and it seems to work for me.. break on $txt1 = @LDRIVE + "\xxx.txt" $txt2 = @LDRIVE + "\yyy.txt" Open (1,$txt1) $rl = ReadLine(1) while @error=0 shell '%comspec% /c find /i "$rl" $txt2' if @error=1 open(2,"%temp%\zzz.log",5) $ = writeline(2,"$rl"+@crlf) endif $rl = readline(1) loop close(2) close(1)

Les Les KiX Master Registered: 2001-06-11 Posts: 12734 Loc: fortfrances.on.ca	I can't see that working right. You have Open(2) inside the loop! You need to Open() it before the loop. _________________________ Give a man a fish and he will be back for more. Slap him with a fish and he will go away forever.
