In continuation of Call VBScript from Windows Explorer Context Menu, I managed to get a VBScript file running from SendTo in the Windows Explorer.
I've changed my code to copy the file that invokes the script to my Temp folder. The new problem is that if the path is over 256 characters, I can't loop through WScript.Arguments to get all of it. Is there another way to get the full path (including the file name and it's extension)?
Option Explicit
Call OpenDocuWorksFile
Sub OpenDocuWorksFile()
Const sTitle = "Open DocuWorks File"
Dim iArgumentsCount
Dim iArgument
Dim sFilePath
Dim sTempFolder
Dim oFileScriptingObject
Dim sFileName
Dim oShell
iArgumentsCount = WScript.Arguments.Count
On Error Resume Next
For iArgument = 0 To iArgumentsCount
sFilePath = sFilePath & WScript.Arguments(iArgument)
Next
On Error GoTo 0
Set oFileScriptingObject = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
With oFileScriptingObject
sFileName = .GetFileName(sFilePath)
sTempFolder = oFileScriptingObject.GetSpecialFolder(2) 'Temp Folder
If .GetExtensionName(sFileName) = "xdw" Then
.CopyFile sFilePath, sTempFolder & "\", True 'Overwrite
Set oShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
oShell.Open sTempFolder & "\" & sFileName
Else
MsgBox "Please select a DocuWorks file.(.xdw)", vbCritical, sTitle
End If
End With
Set oFileScriptingObject = Nothing
Set oShell = Nothing
End Sub
