Copy a file to a new location, optionally marking the file as a temporary file (to be deleted on application exit).

Note there are issues for temporary files - not all the parent directories that might be created are guaranteed to be deleted - only the immediate parent directory will be deleted on exit if created. Other higher-level directories will not be deleted, even if the file is marked as temporary.

Class method to read a binary file and copy it to a byte array.

Write a set of bytes into a so-called binary file. The point is that we use BinaryWriter here and we have a byte array as input.

If you're using passwords of any type on your site, it is best to keep them random. That way they cannot be easily guessed at by intruders.

First, it's good to know a little about ASCII characters. Every character your keyboard can type is actually represented by a number. So the letter A is represented by 65. The letter Z is represented by 90. So all you need to do is generate a series of random numbers, each number between 65 and 90. That would give you a way to find the equivalent letters.

If you want to include numbers too, those are found between spots 48 and 57. I wouldn't use the spots between 57 and 65 - those are odd characters like colons.




So let's say you want to create a 7 character password that contains a random assortment of letters and numbers. You could do something like this:

VBScript is a graceful language and Windows Scripting Host cleans up after itself, so this is a compact version for simple usage - reducing code bloat is what small scripts are for.

This function tries to locate a file in a give folder (either single level, or in any sub folder). Returns the relative file and path, or FALSE if not found. Skips over "." and "..".

This function takes a directory, and a "folder" search parameter.
If it finds the directory (either in single level, or any sub folder) it will return the relative path of that folder. "FALSE" if not found. Skips over files and "." and ".." directories. Recursive by default.

Checks to see if a file or folder exists
The fFile variable determines whether you're
looking for a File (True) or Folder(False)
The strName variable holds the fully qualified
path you're looking For

this function returns the aggregated size
of all files in a directory and its subdirectories
