Topic: Cannot get sub folder information

[Robdogg3058]

Hi


I am kind of new to scripting and have nearly got my script to work but 1 last bit isn't working.

The aim of my script is to scan a folder and give me a list of requested fields for all files and sub folder files in a selected folder and out put it to a text file.  At the moment it gives me all the information for the files in the root directory but not for any subfolders.


How can I edit my script to get this to work?

Thanks

Rob


Here is my script

Dim fso, folder, subFlds, files, OutputFile
Dim strPath

' Create a FileSystemObject 
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

' Define folder we want to list files from
strPath = "Rob"

Set folder = fso.GetFolder(strPath)
Set subFlds = folder.SubFolders
Set files = folder.Files

' Create text file to output test data
Set OutputFile = fso.CreateTextFile("ScriptOutput.txt", True)

' Loop through each file 
For each item In files

  ' Output file properties to a text file
OutputFile.WriteLine("Name= ")
  OutputFile.WriteLine(item.Name)
OutputFile.WriteLine("")
OutputFile.WriteLine("DateCreated= ")
  OutputFile.WriteLine(item.DateCreated)
OutputFile.WriteLine("")
OutputFile.WriteLine("DateLastAccessed= ")
  OutputFile.WriteLine(item.DateLastAccessed)
OutputFile.WriteLine("")
OutputFile.WriteLine("DateLastModified= ")
  OutputFile.WriteLine(item.DateLastModified)
OutputFile.WriteLine("")
OutputFile.WriteLine("Drive= ")
  OutputFile.WriteLine(item.Drive)
OutputFile.WriteLine("")
OutputFile.WriteLine("ParentFolder= ")
  OutputFile.WriteLine(item.ParentFolder)
OutputFile.WriteLine("")
OutputFile.WriteLine("Path= ")
  OutputFile.WriteLine(item.Path)
OutputFile.WriteLine("")
OutputFile.WriteLine("Size= ")
  OutputFile.WriteLine(item.Size)
OutputFile.WriteLine("")
OutputFile.WriteLine("Type= ")
  OutputFile.WriteLine(item.Type)   
  OutputFile.WriteLine("------------------------------------------------")
OutputFile.WriteLine("")
 
Next

' Close text file
OutputFile.Close

What language is this, VB? Anyway, the usual way to do this in other languages is to explicitly open each directory you encounter, and recursively process it. Normally, simply reading one directory won't follow its subdirectories down the tree (unless VB has something like that built in).
