VB Script: check if files exist and datemodified is equal of today if not send a notification e-mail
Hello experts,
I have three files with the following names:
m.csv, tt.csv, and sp.csv
Those files are generated on daily basis in C:\test and moved to an archive folder.
I need a VB Script which to do the following:
1-Check if the files exist in C:\test (Be careful, the loop cannot be by count>0 as We have other files in C:\test
2-Check if the date modified of the files is equal of today.
3-If one of those conditions is not met:
The script need to run the following notification code (I want a unique .vbs (loops+notification)
log requirements:
1-Log name: log-files-checks.txt
2-If the folder in which the script check the files don't exist log file should contains Now & "The folder" & variable doesn't exist
3-If one of the files m.csv, tt.csv, and sp.csv" doesn't exist log file file should contains Now & “ERROR”: ” & ": One of the following files "m.csv, tt.csv, and sp.csv" hasn't been found
4-If datemodified of one of the file is not equal of today Now & “ERROR” & “the following files : m.csv, tt.csv, and sp.csv" has a datemodified equal of today
4-If the notification is sent the log file should contain Now & "ERROR: Notification has been sent."
5-If the files are in the folder with a date modified of today the log file should contains Now “SUCESS: All is good files exist in the folder and the datemodified is equal of today notification hasn’t been sent”
