Delete Directory (Skip Access Denied Folders) ?
Jul 22, 2009I'm fiddling around with a small program that can delete a directory, including its sub-folders and files.This is the code I'm using: (Note-I found it on the net, I didn't code it myself)
Private Sub filedelete(ByVal filename As String)
Dim filesystemobject As Object
filesystemobject = CreateObject("Scripting.filesystemobject")[code]..........
So on click of button '2' the folders are cleaned out, and on click of button '3' they are deleted - it works great.Now the problem is, if any of the folders in the directory 'test' are not accessible to the current user, the program throws the exception 'Access to the path is denied.Is it possible to skip folders that are not accessible, and just ignore them, and delete the ones that are accessible?What code needs to be added to enable this ability?

Windows - Changing The Working Directory For A Process Remotely
Mar 29, 2010I've got an application that has a bug right now, but we're unable to update the end-user to get the fix out. What a possible workaround would be is to change the working directory to the application's install directory, but from what I can tell, there's no way to do that outside of the program itself.
View 2 RepliesReading A Text File While A Process Is Using It
Jun 30, 2012I am trying to create a program that will refresh a *.log file within the program itself (in a RichTextBox), but while the actual application that is writing to that *.log file is open and is utilizing that file as well.
I have tried multiple things with StreamReader, but I can't seem to get anywhere...
Simply, I want to be able to read a *.log file in my Visual Basic 2010 program, but while the actual application that is writing to it is running itself.
How can I do this, as I keep getting the error that another process is utilizing the *.log/text document?
Reading String From Process Address
Aug 20, 2010This code should read the string "34,56,23,74,69" from a process's memory addresses (in this case notepad), right now it works but very slow and I think it even breaks somewhere. My problem is with the ReadProcessMemory function. I can't make it read an entire mbi.RegionSize into the buffer. I tried everything and now, it only reads 1 byte at a time until the mbi.RegionSize is finished then it checks if the text that was read contains the text I need to be found, then it goes to the next mbi.RegionSize. Now, even with notepad which is very small it still takes 10 seconds to find something and I intend to use it with a much bigger program, so it will take like forever. Another problem is that it only finds the string "34". If I put "34,5" it won't work.

File I/O And Registry :: Reading Files From A Large Directory?
Jul 15, 2009I wrote a cleanup program to go through some directories and delete files based on if the creation date is older than say 6 months. It works fine with some of the directories I have that contain around a few thousand small files. However, there is one directory (that contains small backup files from another program) that is loaded with over 300,000 files and it locks up on me as soon as I read in the first file in that directory.I am convinced it is the directory has too many files in it to open it. The server that the directory is on is slow. It takes a half hour to open the directory while on the server itself. I know it will take forever to delete the amount of files I want to delete, but I don't understand why it gets stuck and hangs there with no error message.Here is where I get stuck. Listbox1 is the directory I'm attempting to access

I have most of it done, but I cant seem to get the count to separate each file so my problem now is that it counts the first file but when it counts the next file it adds to the first file and so on through all the files

Reading String From Process - Cannot Return Variants
Aug 19, 2010I have the code below (found on forums) that should read the string "34,56,23,74,69" starting from the first address of another process till the end. However when I start the project I receive this error :"PInvoke restriction: cannot return variants." With Search Engine for example, the string is found, displayed and changed without any problems. Right now I have a subroutine that searches the string but only if I put the right memory address, and unfortunately the address changes almost every day.

View 2 RepliesWhy Does File.Exists Fail To Find 6 / 115 Files In Directory / When Same Process Just Downloaded All
Sep 5, 2011I have a process serves as an application updater.It checks it's local cache of files and compares this against list of files online.On it's first run there are no files in the local cache and it therefore downloads ~100 of these files.[code]This appears to work very well, since Explorer confirms that all files are extracted and available.However when I later run this process again, it cannot verify the existence of 6 of these files and therefore tries to download them despite the fact that they are clearly both present and up to date.The offending code is a simple File.Exists call which appears to deny the local existence of these files, and therefore tries to get them again.The system continues to work well, but over time the continual downloading of these 6 files is going to get kind of silly.
