VBScript FileSystemObject Object GetDrive Method

Returns a Drive object corresponding to the drive in a specified path.

Syntax: VBScript FileSystemObject Object GetDrive Method

object.GetDrive drivespec

Arguments: VBScript FileSystemObject Object GetDrive Method

object

The name of a FileSystemObject. Required.

drivespec

The drivespec argument. It can be a drive letter (c), a drive letter with a colon appended (c:), a drive letter with a colon and path separator appended (c:\), or any network share specification (\\computer2\share1). Required.

Remarks: VBScript FileSystemObject Object GetDrive Method

For network shares, a check is made to ensure that the share exists.

An error occurs if drivespec does not conform to one of the accepted forms or does not exist.

To call the GetDrive method on a normal path string, use the following sequence to get a string that is suitable for use as drivespec:

DriveSpec = GetDriveName(GetAbsolutepathname(Path))

On UNIX systems the GetDrive method will only return a Drive object for "/".
