Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	if the format of the files is allways the same and no subfolders present, this will do: code: $filer=dir(my_folder_path) do $file=$filer $filer=dir() $file ? until @error ? $file I'll make you a better one in five minutes... _________________________ ! download KiXnet

Sealeopard Sealeopard KiX Master Registered: 2001-04-25 Posts: 11165 Loc: Boston, MA, USA	Get the DIRPLUS(http://81.17.37.55/board/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=12;t=000027) and BSORT(http://81.17.37.55/board/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=12;t=000070) UDFs from the UDF section. Read the appropriate list of files into an array so you end up with code: $filearray[0]='sdat4194.exe' $filearray[1]='sdat4195.exe' Then sort the array, by default the filename with the lowest number will be $filearray[0] and the filename with the highest number will be $filearray[ubound($filearray)] code: $filearray=dirplus('c:\temp','sdat*.exe') $filearray=bsort($filearray) $newestfile=$filearray[ubound($filearray)] [ 11 April 2002, 15:27: Message edited by: sealeopard ] _________________________ There are two types of vessels, submarines and targets.

Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	ok, it's done. code: $filer=dir(your_sdat_folder) $file="sdat0000.exe" do if "sdat"=substr($filer,1,4) and val(substr($filer,5,4))>val(substr($file,5,4)) $file=$filer endif $filer=dir() until @error ? $file get $ prints you the file. _________________________ ! download KiXnet

Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	to add to comments, this assumes your files are of shape: sdat****.exe and that they reside in same folder. other files and folders are ignored. tested to be functional. cheers, _________________________ ! download KiXnet

Noisy Noisy Fresh Scripter Registered: 2002-02-04 Posts: 6	Then this has to work...Right!!??!! First look in the dir en pick the last Sdat file then compare this with the value in the reg if its the same then do nothing and if not then update... $regPath="HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\" $SdatPath="\\server\McAfee\" $Sdat="sdat0000.exe" $filer=dir($SdatPath + "SuperDAT\") do if "sdat"=substr($filer,1,4) and val(substr($filer,5,4))>val(substr($Sdat,5,4)) $Sdat=$filer endif $filer=dir() until @error $sDATVer=SUBSTR($Sdat,5,4) $VS45DATValue = READVALUE($RegPath + "McAfee\VirusScan","szVirDefVer") $VS45DATNum = SUBSTR($VS45DATValue,5,4) IF VAL($sDATVer) > VAL($VS45DATNum) GOTO "SuperDAT" ELSE GOTO "END" ENDIF :SuperDAT RUN ($SdatPath + "SuperDAT\" + $sDAT + " /silent /prompt") GOTO "END" :END [ 11 April 2002, 17:14: Message edited by: Noisy ]

Rocco Capra Rocco Capra Hey THIS is FUN Registered: 2002-04-01 Posts: 380 Loc: Mansfield Ohio	I see what you are doing!! Your updateing Virus Definitions. I do the same thing but with Norton. I have a script that checks an ftp site for a new file every night if it finds one it moves the current local file to an 'OLD' directory and downloads the new one. So there is only one file in the update directory. ( on the logon server ) The next thing is in the login I check to see if the update file = a log file on the locl PC, if it don't, I execute the update and create a new log file with the current update file name. If you want to see the scripts just reply and I will post them or email then if you prefer.
