Example

The code below demonstrates how you can obtain the letters of specific drives only, for instance, CD-ROM drives.

JavaScript, JScript

function DriveTypeExample()
{
 var CDRomType = 5;
 colDrives = aqFileSystem.Drives;
 for (i = 0; i != colDrives.Count; i++)
 {
 if (colDrives(i).DriveType == CDRomType)
  Log.Message("The CD-ROM drive is: " + colDrives(i).DriveLetter);
 }
}

Python

def DriveTypeExample():
  CDRomType = 5
  colDrives = aqFileSystem.Drives
  for i in range(0, colDrives.count):
    if colDrives.Item(i).DriveType == CDRomType:
      Log.Message("The CD-ROM drive is: " + colDrives.Item(i).DriveLetter)

VBScript

Sub DriveTypeExample()
  Dim CDRomType, i, colDrives
  CDRomType = 5
  Set colDrives = aqFileSystem.Drives
  For i = 0 to colDrives.Count-1
  If colDrives(i).DriveType = CDRomType Then
   Call Log.Message("The CD-ROM drive is: " + colDrives(i).DriveLetter)
  End If
 Next
End Sub

DelphiScript

function DriveTypeExample;
var i, CDRomType, colDrives: OleVariant;
begin
 CDRomType := 5;
 colDrives := aqFileSystem.Drives;
 for i := 0 to colDrives.Count-1 do
 begin
  if (colDrives.Item(i).DriveType = CDRomType) then
   Log.Message('The CD-ROM drive is: ' + ColDrives.Item(i).DriveLetter);
 end;
end;

C++Script, C#Script

function DriveTypeExample()
{
 CDRomType = 5;
 colDrives = aqFileSystem["Drives"];
 for (i = 0; i != colDrives["Count"]; i++)
 {
 if (colDrives(i)["DriveType"] == CDRomType)
  {
  Log["Message"]("The CD-ROM drive is: " + colDrives(i)["DriveLetter"])
  }
 }
}
