Hi Chip,
Where is that file?
I spent all day today and tonight fixing my crashed computer. Had to copy
files from the dead drive; windows folder destroyed...
Acronis reboot and there was a script question I had but now can not
remember it.
But, if Rick had a solution then where was the attached file?
I have had no chance today to look at any stuff due to recovering
everything.

Very nice Rick; thanks, and I hope everyone in the class will download the
.zip file attached to Rick's message. he's not only provided his solution, but
he's provided a "walk through" document, a kind of log of his process for
developing this app and debugging and testing it as he put the two parts
together, to make sure everything was working ok.
Rick, I've decided this is useful enough to me that I'm going to keep mine
running, but I don't feel like taking on the support of another app just now.
so, if you'd like to do it, feel free to finish it off and upload it to app
central; I think it's useful and belongs in the program enhancements. If you
don't feel like doing it though, maybe let the list know in case someone else
would like to take it on?
One thing I'd like to mention to the beginning students: in my examples, I've
always placed the code of the main body of any app at the start of the .vbs
file. You'll find Rick has placed his down into the .vbs file (a not uncommon
practice), marked with a comment.
this is all the same to Window-eyes, no matter where it's placed, it takes
all the statements which are not in a subroutine or function, and groups them
together and executes them as the main body; just something I thought I should
mention now, as I don't ever recall mentioning this point earlier, and someone
may have thought there was no main body code.
Chip

Subject: VBScript NotePad App and Loading To App Central
Hi Chip: Here is the Script files for the NotePad script we were working
on in class.
It is unfinished since I did not want to upload it to App Central unless this
is the version that would be a good Production Fit with anything else up there
for NotePad.
Also, since I have not uploaded it I don't have a real ID, ScriptNamed
Website and whatever else goes along with uploading a script properly. That
said, this is getting close and I will check out any docs on uploading scripts.
I to not want to add to the bloat that is happening with the available
scripts by putting up some test script so will wait until I hear from you here
or in class.
Anyway, it's done for now so it is what it is.
Let me know if you are going to put a real NotePad script up or if you are
going to modify an existing script.
Rick USA
