Look below deployment. MoveFile strFldr, strPath Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Wednesday, December 5, PM.

Tom Lavedas. I wrote a PowerShell script not too long ago that can search and replace strings in a file: Replacing Strings in Files Using PowerShell You can use select-string to find out if the file contains a string, then use Replace-FileString. Pretty handy but I need to use a vbscript to do the task here at work. Thank you for your input. Bill Ha! Tom Lavedas Tom. That worked perfectly!

I get what you are saying. I was making it harder than it needed to be! Well, the Address property returns cell addresses that look like this:. By contrast, AddressLocal provided you set the row and column parameters to False, like we did in our example returns cell addresses that look like this:.

After echoing back the value of the AddressLocal property, we then assign that same value to a variable named strFirstAddress:. Why do we do that? We actually have a good reason for that: the Find method is a little quirky.

And, trust us, the Scripting Guy who writes this column knows quirky when he sees it. Suppose we put the FindNext method in a loop and ask it to find all the remaining instances of the target value.

Then suppose FindNext locates all the values. Will it stop at that point? Instead, it loops back to the beginning of the range and begins finding the same values over and over again. Inside the loop we call the following line of code to find the next target value:. This parameter tells FindNext where to start searching; having found the first cell containing the target value we now want to pick up the search from that point. So then what happens after we call FindNext?

Well, FindNext will find the next cell that meets our search criteria. When that happens, we grab the value of the AddressLocal property and store it in a variable named strHolder:. In turn, we call the Exit Do statement and exit both the loop and the script. Instead, you have to use a script like this one, a script that individually looks at each and every cell in the range:.

As you can see, after creating our Range object we set up a For Each loop to loop through each cell in that range:. From there we loop around and check the next cell in the collection. And there you have it, SK; we hope that helps. If you like that idea just send an email to — well, never mind. Please Sign up or sign in to vote.

TZetlan 9-Jan pm. I updated the code to include a check for the size of the file. You are likely getting this error due to a zero byte file that is being processed. However the code does seem to be working!! That was the issue!
