Interact with the local file system

Check if a file exists

Sub VBScriptProcedure
'	For some reason, the FileExists function never works for me.  See alternative below.
'	If Not FileExists(AttachmentPath & "@@ORG:FILENAME@@") Then 
'		GotoNextRow
'	End If

	dim f_string 
	f_string = ReadFile(AttachmentPath & "@@ORG:FILENAME@@")
	If f_string = "" Then 
		LogMessage "File Does Not Exist: @@ORG:FILENAME@@"
		GotoNextRow
	End If
End Sub

Create a file

Function ScriptedVariable
	'This script will overwrite any files with the same name.
	Set objFSO=CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
	fileName="aetest.csv"
	outFile="c:\temp\aetest.csv"
	Set objFile = objFSO.CreateTextFile(outFile,True)
	ScriptedVariable=outFile
End Function

Move and rename a file

I imported files directly into a Sugar instance's database. The file had to be named the Knowledge Base Article's ID. I moved and renamed the file as the KB article was create:

Sub VBScriptProcedure
	MoveFile "@@ORG:FullName@@","C:\uploads\@@STG:1,id@@"
End Sub

Write to a file

Sub VBScriptProcedure
	Const ForReading = 1, ForWriting = 2, ForAppending = 8
	Dim fso, MyFile
	Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
	'Note the second parameter is using a Constant set above.  In this case, I want to append to the file.
	Set MyFile = fso.OpenTextFile("@@VAR:filename@@", ForAppending, True)

	' Write to the file.
	MyFile.WriteLine "@@ORG:id@@|@@ORG:name@@|@@ORG:billing_address_street@@|@@ORG:billing_address_city@@|@@ORG:billing_address_state@@|@@ORG:website@@"
	MyFile.Close
End Sub
