How do search for a certain probe across multiple programs with VBS

Moolvie over 11 years ago

Ok,

I'd like to put forth this question,

I have 1400+ programs for my CMM and I'd like to search them and see which ones have a particular probe.
Is there anyway to do this with automation? I have done some searching here and found a few threads.

http://www.pcdmisforum.com/showthread.php?20996-Retrieving-Tip-File-from-external-program&highlight=searching+programs This one actually asks the same question, and the answer says it's theoretically possible.

This just beyond my ability to program at this point. I was hoping someone had done the work already

As far as #1 of vpt.se's suggestions, I wrote a simple VB application to do a batch change for someone not too long ago (posted in this thread: http://www.pcdmisforum.com/showthread.php?26953-Script-to-make-a-change-in-all-programs). If you have experience working with VB (as in Visual Studio or Visual Basic Express), this app could easily be modified to do what you need done.

I've never done anything like suggestion #2, but it sounds super easy.
