VB script template

ajbritton · 26-04-2006, 05:48 AM

I've been working on an install which has needed quite a few scripts (some completely new and some updates of ones Ialready have).

As an amateur scripter, I find myself regularly rewriting the same code over and over again. I'm accumulating a small library of usefu routines (log file, IE progress window etc.) but what I really want is an all singing all dancing script template which I can customize for each new script. I'm thinking about the following...

1 - Usual object definitions (FSO, Shell, Net etc)
2 - Logger (I wrote a logging class for this)
3 - Directory iterator (processes every file/folder in a structure calling an sub for each file/folder)
4 - AD search
5 - AD based IsUser function to test for user account existence
6 - AD based IsGroup function etc. etc.

You get the general idea. Does anyone else do this? Am I just inventing script bloat? Is there a really good template already out there? I suppose I could just download every function from NetRead Scripting website and paste them together, but I was hoping for someting a bit more integrated than that (global object defs, debug logging in all functions etc.)

Or have I just made a job for myself?

It sounds like a good idea. At the moment I just do some serious copy and pasting. When I have a working script I go through it and take out the stuff that isnt used.

Sript template would be well useful.. as like everyone else i just do alot of copy and paste from old scripts.

www.computerperformance.co.uk is a good site I use has examples and defintions / explanations of a lot of stuff. Also maybe do this on a wiki , just a thought ?

It's still somewhere on my long list of things to do, but at the moment I'm afraid it's not very high.
