I wanted to know if anyone knows of any syntax that will allow me to do the following flow control...

If strVariable <> "value" Or <> "secondvalue" Or <> "etc" Then
   <Statement>
End If

I thought I had seen something like this before, but it doesn't seem to work.

Thanks,


mmcdonal

Hi mmcdonal,

You were missing the strVariable for each condition. Else you can try using SELECT CASE. Check VBScript documention on that.

Hope that helps.
Cheers!

Excellent, that was exactly what I needed! Thanks so much for the reply.

Actually, that is not working in VBSCript. Here is a script you can run on your computer that will return all the usernames by showing all the folders immediately under Documents and Settings and the date the folder was created:

Set FSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
ShowSubFolders FSO.GetFolder("C:\Documents and Settings\")
Sub ShowSubFolders(Folder)
    For Each SubFolder In Folder.SubFolders
        NewArray = Split(SubFolder.Path, "\")
        strLogin = NewArray(2)
        DateArray = Split(SubFolder.DateCreated, " ")
        strCreate = CDate(DateArray(0))
        WScript.Echo strLogin
        WScript.Echo strCreate
        End If
    Next
End Sub

   When I add the IF THEN statement on the WScript.Echo lines, this works and doesn't report the administrator folder...

Set FSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
ShowSubFolders FSO.GetFolder("C:\Documents and Settings\")
Sub ShowSubFolders(Folder)
    For Each SubFolder In Folder.SubFolders
        NewArray = Split(SubFolder.Path, "\")
        strLogin = NewArray(2)
        DateArray = Split(SubFolder.DateCreated, " ")
        strCreate = CDate(DateArray(0))
        If strLogin <> "administrator" Then
        WScript.Echo strLogin
        WScript.Echo strCreate
        End If
    Next
End Sub

   ... but when I use the following code, it not only does NOT get rid of the administrator and All Users folders, it reports both of them, even though the administrator folder is not reported in the second instance of the script...

Set FSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
ShowSubFolders FSO.GetFolder("C:\Documents and Settings\")
Sub ShowSubFolders(Folder)
    For Each SubFolder In Folder.SubFolders
        NewArray = Split(SubFolder.Path, "\")
        strLogin = NewArray(2)
        DateArray = Split(SubFolder.DateCreated, " ")
        strCreate = CDate(DateArray(0))
        If strLogin <> "administrator" Or strLogin <> "All Users" Then
        WScript.Echo strLogin
        WScript.Echo strCreate
        End If
    Next
End Sub

   I think this is a limitation of VBScript. This works in VB.NET, but it is not working here.

   Does anyone else have any suggestions?

Thanks,

How about using this? It is as simple as ENGLISH, it should not be "Administrator" AND should not be "All Users". When you say it should not be "Administrator" OR should not be "All Users", doesn't that sound odd?

Cheers!
