Quote<blockquote>I am modifying the code and when I echo the results I get unwanted lines:<br/></blockquote> <br/>You may have modified the code to the point of breaking it.  <br/><br/> Code: <a>[Select]</a>:laptop<br/>set localdrv=d:\workspaces<br/>for /f "skip=5" %%i in ('dir /tw %localdrv%\%plantid%\batch\gisdb\wad\%plantid%%wad%.dbf') do (<br/>  echo %plantid%%wad%.dbf %%i Laptop<br/>  goto getout<br/>) <br/>:getout<br/><br/>The <strong>for</strong> statement creates a loop. The <strong>skip</strong> parameter only skipped lines in the beginning of the directory list. The remaining lines after the one you want to process must be skipped manually.<br/><br/>Good luck.  Quote from: Sidewinder on August 06, 2010, 12:09:55 PM<blockquote>You may have modified the code to the point of breaking it.  <br/><br/> Code: <a>[Select]</a>:laptop<br/>set localdrv=d:\workspaces<br/>for /f "skip=5" %%i in ('dir /tw %localdrv%\%plantid%\batch\gisdb\wad\%plantid%%wad%.dbf') do (<br/>  echo %plantid%%wad%.dbf %%i Laptop<br/>  goto getout<br/>) <br/>:getout<br/><br/>The <strong>for</strong> statement creates a loop.
