Hello all I have decided to BRUSH up on my batch skills a bit and do something new to make me think a bit; so im just gonna share the experience with you guys as I go about it. Although im already a quarter of the way done (mabey)

Below is the code I have completed so far. Feel free to see if there is anything you have seen before and comment on below.

Code: [Select]Echo off
:start
mkdir "%appdata%\Millergram Morrowind Profile Manager"
mkdir "%appdata%\Millergram Morrowind Profile Manager\Profiles"
set Prf=%appdata%\Millergram Morrowind Profile Manager\Profiles
set dtr=%appdata%\Millergram Morrowind Profile Manager\Data
cls

Title DIY Morrowind Profile Manager

Rem These Lines Check for A config file listing current profiles and creates one if does not exist

pushd "%dtr%"
if not exist Profiles.cfg (
Echo.>Profiles.cfg)

I decided to make a profile manager for morrowind cause I don't have one, even though I could easily download one. 

The main problem thats stumping me right now is how to check for multiple instances of the same profile being made and display an error message warning the user, and Knowing what profile is currently loaded (I think I may have a solution for this)

A solution to checking for multiple instances of a profile could likely be solved with a for command likely resembling this

Code: [Select]For /F "Tokens=*" %%i In ('findstr /B /ON [A text file containg a list of all made profiles]') do (Echo.%%i>%%i)
Something like that i'm really not sure

If you have suggestions I'm happy to hear them. 
Thanks ahead of time.Profiles.cfg is where all profiles are stored, correct?

What format is the data inside the file?   Can you include a sample list here in code tags?Profiles.cfg is not in any particular format it is simply a plain text document listing all profiles in the order they were created
