![]() ![]() To tell you the truth, we still haven’t been able to find Targetopia, VandyLand, or Bmraarykduesn or some of the other countries from the 2007 Scripting Games on any map.Īnd then there was one: the Sudden Death Challenge. (Maybe we could stop some other country, but definitely not Finland.) So what the heck: recruit your compatriots, and show everyone where the best scripters in the world really hail from. We promise.Īnd sure, you can cheat on this one, too: if all the residents of Finland want to get together to work on solutions for the Games, well, the Scripting Guys can’t stop you. We’re not sure what that means (although we are sure that TechNet will freak out when they hear about this) but it will be cool. Even better, during the month of April we’re going to dedicate the entire Script Center to that country. This year, however, we’re going one step further: this year the country that has the most entrants (based on the population of that country) will be crowned the International Challenge winner. In the previous two Scripting Games we’ve given people the option of competing for a country of their choice, and we’ve tallied scores on a per-country basis. If you do have an allegiance of some kind to a country of some kind then you might be interested in the International Challenge. However, most people do have some allegiance to a country, either because they live there, they were born there, or maybe because that country has really good food. Now, admittedly, not everyone belongs to a user group. And that would be no fun at all, especially if you’ve seen the list of prizes. Otherwise you’ll get credit for just 1 entry, and only the person who does the actual submitting will be eligible for all the individual prizes. If you want to get together as a group and tackle the Scripting Games events, well, who are we to tell you no? Feel free to work together on your scripts that’s what user groups are for, right? Just remember, however, that if a dozen of you work together on the scripts all 12 of you must submit separate entries. That’s kind of a big deal, wouldn’t you say?Īnd yes, of course you can cheat. Big deal? Well, maybe after all, the winning user group will be awarded a trophy the winning user group will be featured in a Script Center article and each member of the group that competes in the Games will be given an individual award (of a to-be-determined nature). Why would you want to do that? Well, the user group that ends up with the most participants (on a percentage basis) will be declared the winner of the User Group Challenge. When you compete in the Games this year, you’ll have the option to indicate the name of a Microsoft user group that you belong to. As it turns out, the Scripting Guys have a meeting scheduled for that afternoon, a meeting that could easily push the Scripting Guy who writes this column over the edge.Īt any rate, one new challenge is the User Group Challenge, sponsored by TechNet Magazine. If you’re one of those people we can save you the trouble of reading the rest of this column the answer is “No, not today.” But you might want to circle February 8 th on your calendar. We know that many people read this column because they want to know if today will be the day when the Scripting Guy who writes this column finally goes too far and writes something that gets him fired. When that happens, I’d like to be prompted with a message box that would let me decide whether or not I wanted the script to add that folder to the text file. ![]() ![]() However, sometimes a folder exists that isn’t listed in the text file. (For example, if the parent folder is C:\Scripts the script might check to see if a folder named Test Folder – that is, C:\Scripts\Test Folder – actually exists.) This part of the script works pretty well. Hey, Scripting Guy! I have a script that reads through a text file and then checks a folder to see if all the subfolder names listed in that text file actually exist. ![]()
