Ever wanted to extract a filename only from a path including the filename, well this simple function will do it for you! (I know its not ground breaking but its simple easy and useful)

Launch Date Faker and it will change the date (to a previous one if you want), launch an application, then change the date back to the current date. This can help delay evaluation periods for that stuborn piece of software that you haven't used for the last 2 months which says that the evaluation period is up even though has been pretty much unused. This is not a crack, it doesn't alter any files, and it isn't intended to be used in a malicious manner, but it can (and most likely will) help prolong your software evaluation period. Small, easy to understand file input/output code and date manipulation. Please rate and leave comments.

Read and write textfiles with VBScript.

Gets the following information from any file: CompanyName FileDescription LegalCopyright ProductName FileVersion ProductVersion InternalName OriginalFilename Basically it's the same information you glean from a file's properties. Uses no API whatsoever. UPDATE 10/26/00 ------------------- Fixes the problem of reading smaller files that don't have the StringFileInfo section padded with null characters. UPDATE 10/30/00 ------------------- OK, now it's perfect. Before it wouldn't find certain characters because some files are ignorant and in turn screwed up the return value but now it's all fine. Use it.

Lists all of the files in a directory matching the pattern entered in the form.

Used to view huge files. I use daily to review last 1mb of 30+ meg files. Loads only portions of a file (by chunk size or percentage) instead of entire file & is quick. Feel free to use & abuse as you like.

Allows you to open a VB6 Project, View all forms in it, View all Controls on any given form, and preview the form at runtime. A good example on file and String Handling, and Dynamic Control creation.

CD Indexer is a program in whish you can make mirrors of drives/CD's. This program works just like Advantage Disk Catalog. Why use this program? Is much faster!!!!! This program is totaly FREEWARE, just like Drive Mirror 1.x and 2.x was. For more help or info, go to the website: http://www.cdindexer.tk

This was my final project for VB6 class its not that intense but what can you expect from an introduction to VB6 class next quarter will be better so. But its a computer repair shop program it uses files and a few different forms I know theres modifications to make it better but I dont know how to do them but any help from any experienced programmers would be appreciated. Might need to change the dirrectory that it finds the file from had it running from my floppy disk.

The function fileexists will return true or false and it works on all files (that includes hidden and system files). It also works over the network. I have to thank Joseph M. Ferris for the API Call. Guess what this code has no copyright because this website is open source. Some people are so obsessed with copyrighting every little thing they find out in VB. I once saw someone claim the copyright to the Kill Function. What a pinhead.

I wrote this for someone who needed to know how to read in all the file extensions in a directory and keep updating it when changing directories. It uses InStr to find the "." and then does a bubble sort (not efficient I know).

this document explains how can you control parallel port.

Here is what you need. Control ports from NT and W2K. You can INPUT and OUTPUT from any port. (parallel, serial, joystick, usb...)

I wanted code that used components that were mostly likely to be found on a user's machine. VB5STKIT, VB4STKIT, and VB6STKIT all could be used for creating shortcuts, but there is a good chance they weren't already on the user's machine, meaning I'd have to include it in my install package. The Windows Scripting Host is a default installation on Windows 98 and higher, and is likely on a Windows 95 machine. Plus you can include an object test to easily verify the user has the Scripting Host installed.

This code will show you how to do basic parallel port programming. This particular example shows you how to light up LED's that are plugged into the parallel port.

This project shows how you can write values to an exe file (and change it). NO API and highly commented. First, make the test_exe.exe. Then start read_write project, change values and click Write. You'll se that test_exe.exe has changed!!! Please vote and leave comments.

File Input Output Append

DOS Console class. Allowing an application to write output to a DOS console and optional log file.
