Place username in text file - Help Req
I am looking to place the current logged on username into a text file on the local machine. How is the best way to do this?
I am using Wise and I took a look at the WiseScript editor and it appears that I would use the 'Insert line into text file' action but I am not sure how I go about reading in the current userid.
Also, I am difficulties getting Wisescript editor to create an exe so that I can test it....It doesnt seem to compile
Thanks
Aidan

I would probably use VBScript, but if you are going to use Wise then the value to get the currently logged on user would be [LogonUser].
Good luck.

In Wisescript, you can also use the Get Registry Key Value. The last logged on user is recorded in the registry in DefaultUserName value in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon.
Insert that into your text file.

If the format of the text file doesn't matter, you could even use the "IniFile" table. Then you wouldn't even need a custom action, and the file doesn't even have to have an ".ini" exension. Maybe something like this?
[UserNames]
[%UserName]=[Date]@[Time]
[UserNames]
[%UserName]=[Date]@[Time]

Hello. Here is how you can do it with a batch file.
echo %username% > c:\username.txt
If you need other things in the text file, you can easily do this:
echo [Someheader] >> c:\username.txt
echo %username% >> c:\username.txt
echo [Somefooter] >> c:\username.txt
The difference between > and >> is that double greater than signs will append the file, rather than replace it.
echo %username% > c:\username.txt
