Code: alias getversion { var %s = S $+ $ticks,%a .comopen %s Scripting.FileSystemObject if !$comerr && $com(%s,GetFileVersion,3,bstr,$1-) { var %a = $com(%s).result } .comclose %s return %a } //if $getversion(C:\windows\system32\shell32.dll) { echo -a $v1 }

OP swgiant Ameglian cow S Joined: Jan 2005 Posts: 41	Thanks for your code.... And i want to know more about COM. Why use Scripting.FileSystemObject, MSScriptControl.ScriptControl or Shell shell.application? can i use others? And how do i know it is the syntax for the name that i must use for specific task? Is it i must learn from the REAL programming so i can master COM comand? any tutorials for it?
