Returns the version number of a specified file.
object.GetFileVersion(pathspec) |
Arguments
- object
-

- pathspec

Remarks
The GetFileVersion method returns a zero-length string ("") if pathspec does not end with the named component.
![]() |
---|
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.
JScript | ![]() |
---|---|
function ShowFileName(filespec){ var fso, s = ""; fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject"); s += fso.GetFileVersion(filespec); return(s); } |
Visual Basic Script | ![]() |
---|---|
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 |
