Re^2: Getting file attributes/properties using Win32 OLE

I already have the GetObject function in my script. Or are you implying that I am using it incorrectly? Despite the link being all in VB as far as I can tell Im using it correctly. My only guess is that Im not specifying the optional object class, but since your link is VB I dont know what the perl syntax would be for this.

The perl example that I am basing my script off of is what I learned from here List Page File Properties

GetObject can return anything, it varies from system to system. So you're supposed to use some calls (i'm guessing `QueryObjectType`, see in Win32::OLE and on MSDN ) to find what type of object you have, and then look up the available `$obj->Methods` and `$obj->{Properties}` on MSDN. On my system I get MSHTMLDispHTMLDocument, which is some kind of .NET object ( DispHTMLDocument ), and it doesn't have a FileName or Readable property. Maybe you can try Win32::OLE Type Library Browser	[reply] [d/l] [select]
