I am trying to create a task to output the version of a certain file. I have a folder “snare” and I am trying to output the version of the file “snarecore.exe”

I am fairly new to Big fix and very new to scripting…any help would be greatly appreciated.

thanks,

Hi garbroo,

If you are looking to get the version of a file in a BigFix property, you can go to Tools > Manage Properties, and use relevance that looks something like this:

version of file “snarecore.exe” of folder “C:\snare”

Or… if you want to get slightly more advanced, you can do some error checking:

if (exists files “snarecore.exe” of folders “C:\snare”) then version of file “snarecore.exe” of folder “C:\snare” as string else “n/a”
