GetFileVersion Method

Article
12/04/2006

Returns the version number of a specified file.


object.GetFileVersion(pathspec)

Arguments

object
Required. Always the name of a FileSystemObject.

pathspec
Required. The path (absolute or relative) to a specific file.

Remarks

The GetFileVersion method returns a zero-length string ("") if pathspec does not end with the named component.

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.

The following example illustrates the use of the GetFileVersion method.

function ShowFileName(filespec){

   var fso, s = "";

   fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");

   s += fso.GetFileVersion(filespec);

   return(s);

}

Function GetVersion(DriveSpec)

   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
