Hi all,

I'm new to vbscript and I was searching in the internet for the last hour...but didn't find the right thing. :(

I have got a txt-file with that:
server1,c, e
server2,c,d
server3,d
server4,c
server5,c

I'm reading the txt-file with an array - that works fine. At the moment it is not a dynamically array - but that does not matter at all.
I'm running the script on several servers - locally. If the servername is in the txt-file I have to execute a executable, if the servername is not in the txt-file I just want to write a entry into a logfile.

I don't know what to do and how to read the txt-file.

Can anybody please help me?
Thanks in advance.
Mel

do a search for "file system object", that will help with your file manipulations

if it was me, for a quick and dirty thing, I'd just do an instr() for the server name line by line

once you find the name, use the wscript.shell object to execute your application

I would probably do a readall then use instr to see if the server name is in the list.
