Hi,guys

To detect file exists or not we use : Iffileexists>...
To detect Directory exists or not we use: IfDirexists>...

Hi,

If you want to test the existence of a file or directory on a network drive, use the following command.

IfFileExists>\\server_XYZ\dir_XYZ\file_XYZ,found,not_found
IfDirExists>\\server_XYZ\dir_XYZ,found,not_found

Note it can take several seconds to execute this commands.

Greetings
Luciano

Not sure I'm understanding your question. What is it that you want to accomplish?

From a DOS prompt, if you type "ipconfig/all" you will get a listing of pertinent data regarding your network connection. If this is what you're looking for, you could call this from Macro Scheduler and write the info to a text file that could then be parsed to glean the data you need.

Something like this will put the info in a text file:

Run>cmd /c ipconfig/all > path\textfile.txt

Hope this helps,
Dick

If you want to look for a specific installed/loaded driver then how about something like:

Download and install drivers.exe from microsoft (only comes standard with server versions), confusingly the installer and program are both called drivers.exe but I found the program itself had installed to c\program files\resource kit. Works for me in w2k, haven't tested on XP.
http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/te ... vers-o.asp

Run it from macrosheduler capturing the output to a file.

Search the file for the driver name.

With writing ipconfig output to a file... you can modify this little script I wrote to do the same sort of thing, but for a specific application...

Oh... sorry... use netsh.exe and pipe the results, not ipconfig.
