Microsoft® Visual Basic® Scripting Edition GetFileVersion Method |
Scripting Run-Time Reference Version 5 |
Returns the version number of a specified file.
object.GetFileVersion(pathspec)The GetVersion method syntax has these parts:
Part Description object Required. Always the name of a FileSystemObject. pathspec Required. The path (absolute or relative) to a specific file.
The GetFileVersion method returns a zero-length string ("") if pathspec does not end with the named file or if the file does not contain version information.The following example illustrates use of the GetFileVersion method:
Function GetVersion(PathSpec) Dim fso, temp Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") temp = fso.GetFileVersion(PathSpec) If Len(temp) Then GetVersion = temp Else GetVersion = "No version information available." End If End Function
Note The GetFileVersion method works only on the provided path string. It does not attempt to resolve the path, nor does it check for the existence of the specified path. | |
