Using a volume serial number for partitions?

Don,
can you add the support for targeting partitions via their volume serial number instead of only the drive letter?
Maybe in the form of: {1ECD-8A2C}\
E.g.
It doesn't matter that much for a stationary device because you can use USBDLM to mount a partition to a specific drive letter but on a different PC (and e.g. without admin rights) it would be a great help to be able to get to the correct partition via it's serial and not a drive letter...

In the meantime:
Code: Select all
$serial = "1ECD-8A2C"; // 2 TB internal drive (normally on T:)
goto resolveVolumeSerialNumber($serial);
// Resolve the volume serial number of a partition into the corresponding drive letter
function resolveVolumeSerialNumber($volumeSerialNumber) {
foreach($drive, get("drives")) {
$drive = trim($drive, "\", "R");
$serial = regexmatches(runret("cmd /c vol $drive", "%windir%"), "[A-Z0-9]{4}-[A-Z0-9]{4}");
if ($serial == $volumeSerialNumber) { return $drive; }
}
return "<curpath>";
}

highend, that's a very useful script!- even more portability!!.
can you please add a script to get this serial easily?

This function returns the serial for one, multiple or all drives depending on what you submit.
Multiple drives must be separated via "|".
It returns "NO SERIAL" if a drive doesn't have one or if the drive is empty. E.g. your DVD-Drive returns
none if no CD / DVD is in it.
You can use:
- The drive letter only
- The drive letter with a trailing ":" or ":\"
Code: Select all
text getVolumeSerialNumber();
text getVolumeSerialNumber("D");
text getVolumeSerialNumber("C:|D:")
// Returns the volume serial number for a single / multiple / all drive letter(s)
function getVolumeSerialNumber($driveLetters) {
$drives = get("drives");
$output = "";
if !($driveLetters) { $driveLetters = $drives; }
foreach($drive, $driveLetters) {
if (strlen($drive) == 1) { $drive = "$drive:"; }
$drive = trim($drive, "\", "R");
$serial = regexmatches(runret("cmd /c vol $drive", "%windir%"), "[A-Z0-9]{4}-[A-Z0-9]{4}");
if !($serial) { $serial = "NO SERIAL"; }
$output = $output . "$drive - $serial<crlf>";
}
return $output;
}

Show your modified 1st script... Maybe you invoked the function with resolveVolumeSerialNumber(A2F3-1530) instead of resolveVolumeSerialNumber("A2F3-1530")?
Which version of XY do you use?

Oh^^
Code: Select all
function resolveVolumeSerialNumber($volumeSerialNumber) {
foreach($drive, get("drives")) {
$drive = trim($drive, "\", "R");
$serial = regexmatches(runret("cmd /c vol $drive", "%windir%"), "[A-Z0-9]{4}-[A-Z0-9]{4}");
if ($serial == $volumeSerialNumber) { return $drive; }
}
return "<curpath>";
}
You've somehow indented this part of the code, that's the reason why it doesn't work. A line that defines a function can't be indented. So make sure you delete your single spaces before it.
