If vbscript is so limited it can't handle the output you displayed, this
is only the first of many roadblocks you will encounter.  If you're
going to script on a Windows box you've got to install and learn perl.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] A Better Way?

 

I've been working on rewriting some scripts that I received from a list
member.  Originally, they were written for Unix, and I'm running
Windows.  What I'm up against is this: I need to check the drives to see
if they are holding the tapes I want to export.  Here's what was used:

vmoprcmd -d ds -h master_server

 

However, the output is less than useable on a Windows box without
installing extra stuff.  Here's the sample:

 


                                  DRIVE STATUS

Drv Type   Control  User      Label  RecMID  ExtMID  Ready   Wr.Enbl.
ReqId
  0 hcart3   TLD                  Yes    LT0007  LT0007   Yes     Yes
0
  2 hcart3   TLD                  Yes    LT0007  LT0007   Yes     Yes
0
  1 hcart3   TLD                  Yes    000108  000108   Yes     Yes
0
  1 hcart3   TLD                  Yes    000108  000108   Yes     Yes
0

 

 

Is there an easier way to grab this information?  And by easier, I mean
something that VBScript could use?  Without awk here, I'm dead.  And
before you mention it, I know there's a windows port of awk.  I'm trying
to do this as self contained as possible.

 

Thanks,

Jason
