Function-to-return-given-records-from-multiple-files-needed#2

Hi Experts,
This is in reference of my previous question.
https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/29131073/Function-to-return-given-records-from-multiple-files-needed.html?anchor=a42767252¬ificationFollowed=220950287#a42767252
I have now the following code

Public Function ListRecords(sFolder As String, sFile As String, sCriteria As String, sNewFile As String)
    Const ForReading = 1
    Dim objRegEx As Object, objFSO As Object, objFile As Object
    Set objRegEx = CreateObject("VBScript.RegExp")
    Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

    Set newFile = objFSO.CreateTextFile(sNewFile, True)
    
    objRegEx.Pattern = sCriteria
    sDir = sFolder & "\"
    StrFile = Dir(sDir & "*" & sFile & "*")
    Do While Len(StrFile) > 0
        Set objFile = objFSO.OpenTextFile(sDir & StrFile, ForReading)
            
        Do Until objFile.AtEndOfStream
            strSearchString = objFile.ReadLine
            Set colMatches = objRegEx.Execute(strSearchString)
            If colMatches.Count > 0 Then
                For Each strMatch In colMatches
                    '' Write strSearchString
                    newFile.Write strSearchString
                Next
            End If
        Loop
        'Debug.Print objFile.DateCreated
        objFile.Close

        
        StrFile = Dir

    Loop
    
    objFile.Close
    newFile.Close
End Function

Open in new window

Would like to add the below
1- function should have another param for field name, one for field name and one for criteria.
2- should auto allocate the field position in order to find the matching criteria.
3- if possible to add date/time of file created of each file into the output file.

Thanks

Function to return given records from multiple files needed.

Hi Experts,

I'm looking for a function that would do the following.

Loop thru all files of a given folder.
Search for files containing some wording in their name "PatMed" for example.
All files are ".txt"
and look for PatientID = 123.

Function should return the entire record
If found more than one, should return all
This should be in order of file created.
If possible, to include in each row, the date/time of file created.

So function should Receive 4 parameters (FolderName, FileName, FieldName, Criteria)
and should either create a file with results, or just return a text delimited string.

Sample of file attached.

PS. Would prefer VBA function.

Thanks

Does any Expert know of an organization that supplies surplus / used computers to the elderly? I know of a person on a fixed low income that cannot come close to afford to purchase a computer. She lives in Oklahoma and is in a small town and is somewhat isolated. A computer would make a great difference in this person's life. I had seen many years ago a story detailing a young man in his teens that collected anything and everything and reassembled components for this exact purpose. If anyone knows of such a program please let me know so that I can turn this person's information over to them for consideration. This person is an education magnet! She reads every book she can get her hands on and would feel like she were in heaven if she had the ability to be on the internet. At the moment she has been loaned a small 8 inch palm type device but due to the size and the slow speed it is virtually useless. I personally would pay it forward to her some sort of book club subscription if she was able to obtain the computer. It IS the season for love and giving. Any thoughts or ideas would be appreciated.

In Enterprise Architect, how do you turn functional requirements into use cases?

I have tried to open the Relationship Matrix and then added use cases through it. But it seems like that is not the intended process.

The process I am looking for will be smooth.

I have requirements that I need to put into requirement groups. Then use cases I need to put into use case groups. The system is rather big.
Can you guide me to any example where EA is used and has the full tracebility of requirements to use cases, domain model, interfaces, and components?

I want to understand how to get from requirements to components, interfaces, and operations in EA

I would like to know if it's possible to retrieve an hashed password from ADAM with Python?

I've seen that DSInternals could allow that, but wouldn't work with ADAM. Plus we don't need the password in clear text, just the hashed version.

How to identify outdated browsers and translate browser names from a list?

Hi Experts,
we have a site created in Caspio that has some required fields.
We realized that some of the required fields are coming thru w/o containing data.
So were told by Caspio that is probably due to those users using an old browser.
They created a field named user_agent that will capture which browser were used for each record data entry.
Now I created a list of all records with missing data in required field along with the data captured in this field named user_agent (browser).
See attached.
Wondering what are those values are and how can we sent a message informing this and this browser is not supported...
Thanks

Hi

We need to regularly create system restore points on our user computers via command line.

The idea is to automate this process without deploying any 3rd party tools.

Step 1. Check if system restore is enabled on the computer. If it is not, enable it.
Step 2. Check the storage size allocated for system restore. If it is less than 6 GB, configure to to be 6 GB.
Step 3. Create a system restore point with a generic label e.g. "maintenance".
Step 4. Check if the system restore point got created or not by listing existing system restore points and comparing the labels with the generic label used in step3.

So this is the general idea of the script we want to create and I think I can do the other bits myself except for creating system restore point via command line.

I have tried the WMIC method, powershell method and everything else I can find on blogs and google search.

Most commands I run return the "execution successful" message.

But when I check manually if the system restore point got created or not by opening system restore GUI, I don't see the restore point created.

For the life of me I can't figure out what's going on.

So pls help !

2- Get an email informing it was done (so i know the 1st one failed).

In short, I would say:

A flag is a predefined bit or bit sequence that holds a binary value.

A mode is a distinct setting.

So it's not always possible to replace the term "mode" by "flag". This is only possible if it's about a binary value. I got confused by these terms when reading:

http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/open.2.html

The argument flags must include one of the following access modes:
O_RDONLY, O_WRONLY, or O_RDWR.

The file creation flags are O_CLOEXEC,
O_CREAT, O_DIRECTORY, O_EXCL, O_NOCTTY, O_NOFOLLOW, O_TMPFILE, and
O_TRUNC.

The file status flags are all of the remaining flags listed
below.

Why they just don't say:

The file access flags are O_RDONLY, O_WRONLY, and O_RDWR.

Why they suddenly use a different term when it's about "access"? Probably behind the scenes it's also just about a binary value, right? Probably all O_VARIABLE's above are 0 or 1.

And see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_descriptor

This table records the mode with which the file (or other resource) has been opened: for reading, writing, appending, and possibly other modes.

So Wikipedia uses the term "mode" only (and not flag). At least they are consistent, because they call them all "modes".

Is there a specific reason why sometimes mode is used and something flag (while it's about the same thing)? I would stay, be at least consistent to avoid confusion.
