Answer» Dias DE verano wrote: Bc, I fail to see what that has to do with my post, but alright. This thread has really degenerated. Bc, I'm trying to learn how to use the for loop. I have not seen any for loops from BC. I appreciate your help. BC had suggested more tags and information about the for loop so I suggested the for /? at command prompt. I TRY to be nice and I still receive many negative comments. My "for loop" was an excellent solution to the the copy and rename file names problem. What should I do to remain on this board? What does BC, Carbon and Dias de verano want me do? I feel you do not want to help me. Are my posts really that bad? Why is Dias de verano so cruel to new people? Do you want me to leave? From for /? at command prompt. Runs a specified command for each file in a set of files.Quote I try to be nice You hijacked another person's thread and made it about "you" and made many trollish posts.Code: [Select][quote author=billrich link=topic=78827.msg521043#msg521043 date=1237249761] BC had suggested more tags and information about the for loop so I suggested the for /? at command prompt.

isn't two Do...Loops Enough? regardless of which, I'm not particularly good with the new command line extensions; I stopped using batch programming extensively before I switched from windows 3.1, so I haven't really researched all the new stuff that can be done with it. I can use For quite well for it's original specs, but I haven't had time to sufficiently learn the new nuances added with CMD. I have however learned not to say stuff is impossible in batch, because the MOMENT I say that, and provide a VBScript solution Dias has a much shorter Batch program that does the same thing ... and even with VBScript I keep trying to use left$ Right$ Mid$ etc, when in fact VBScript has no notion of any type other then variant, and thus there is no $ suffix on any string manipulation functions. I still type them instinctively so I have to always check over my VBScript to make sure that I didn't let some money sneak in The fact of the matter is- this thread was solved when Dias posted his batch. your post could only suffice to confuse the OP since- as explained - it merely illustrated the REN command.[/code] |
