Type Property
Returns information about the type of a file or folder. For example, for files ending in .TXT, "Text Document" is returned.
object.Type
Remarks
The object is always a File or Folder object.
The following code illustrates the use of the Type property to return a folder type. In this example, try providing the path of the Recycle Bin or other unique folder to the procedure.
function ShowFileType(filespec)
{
var fso, f, s;
fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
if (fso.FolderExists(filespec))
f = fso.GetFolder(filespec);
else if (fso.FileExists(filespec))
f = fso.GetFile(filespec);
else
s = "File or Folder does not exist.";
s = f.Name + " is a " + f.Type;
return(s);
}
Function ShowFolderType(filespec)
Dim fso, f, s
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set f = fso.GetFolder(filespec)
s = UCase(f.Name) & " is a " & f.Type
ShowFolderType = s
End Function
