Hi,
I have a template file test_template.txt, and want to multiply it 36 times as: test00.txt, test01.txt, etc.
Also, inside test00.txt, I want to replace the occurence _NN_ with 00, inside test01.txt replace _NN_ with 01 and so on. Could someone help me?
I'm using win xp, but want to do it from a .bat file. I figured out how I can multiply the file, but I'm stuck with replacement of _NN_.
Thanks,
Bogdancan you please post your code you have made so far?using a 3rd party .com, it is possible:
Change.com(zip)
extract to windows folder... then

replace 36 for how many copies you want, and i couldn't get it double, 01 02. it goes 1,2,3, etc

Code: [Select]@echo off
for /l %%a in (01,01,36) do (copy test_template.txt test%%a.txt
change.com test%%a.txt "_NN_" "%%a")Umm...

It could be done with a for loop.

@echo off
Setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
For /f "delims=" %%a in ('type test_template.txt') do (
Set line=%%a
Set line=!line:_NN_=00!
Echo !line!>test00.txt
)
That would work but I can't remember how to replace a string in a VARIABLE with a different variable (which woud save you having to copy and paste the code for each file.

you could try the following:

Code: [Select]@echo off
if exist newfile.txt del newfile.txt
for /f "tokens=*" %%a in (test_template.txt) do call :AddText "%%a
del myfile.txt
rename newfile.txt test_template.txt
pause
exit /b

:AddText %1
echo %1
set Text=%~1%
IF NOT "%Text%"=="_NN_" echo %Text% >> newfile.txt
if "%Text%"=="_NN_" ECHO 00>> newfile.txt
exit /b

you would need to change the following line:
if "%Text%"=="_NN_" ECHO 00>> newfile.txt
to the variable for the file number from the rename.my code needed a little work. I have updated the code to work correctly.

Code: [Select]@echo off
:start
if exist newfile.txt del newfile.txt

set /a count+=1
echo %count%
set name=test%count%.txt
copy "test_template.txt" %name%




for /f "tokens=*" %%a in (%name%) do call :AddText "%%a
if exist %name% del %name%
rename newfiles.txt %name%

IF NOT %count%==36 GOTO start
ECHO JOB COMPLETE.....
PAUSE
exit /b

:AddText %1
set Text=%~1%
IF NOT "%Text%"=="_NN_" ECHO %Text% >> newfiles.txt
if "%Text%"=="_NN_" ECHO %count% >> newfiles.txt
exit /b
If you have any questions or issues please let me know.Thanks for your replies.
wbrost, I tried your script, but on my pc the result is that it creates the files, but with single DIGIT in the name. Eg. 1,2,etc instead of 2 digits, like 01, 02. Also, the _NN_ pattern does not get replaced. I think the problem with this is that it is not delimited by any white characters.
Also, empty lines get removed, and they should be like the template. Thanks for your help.

An small example of the template file is:

load 0x1D000000 mpeg_slice.bin

load 0x1C000000 decoderinfo_NN_.bin
load 0x1C0002FC SomeMatrix.bin
load 0x1C0003FC SliceCode_NN_.bin
also, for file multiplication I tried, and worked:


for %%D in (00, 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06, 07, 08, 09, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35) DO copy test_template.txt test%%D.txt

As you see, I'm a complete beginner at this kind of things.

Thanks to all of you for your help,

Helpmeh:
I tried your code, but it was writing something like this to every file: Echo enable is on.

Anyway the first code that you posted was writing what was needed to the files, so I managed to combine them and come with the following version, which does what it has to(see it at the end of the post).


Yet, there's one more issue, more a cosmetical one - the batch removes all empty lines from the
template, and I'd like it not to. Can someone give a hint regarding this?

Setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
for %%a in (00, 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06, 07, 08, 09, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35) do (
if exist test%%a.txt del test%%a.txt
for /f "delims=" %%b in ('type test_template.txt') do (
set line=%%b
Set line=!line:_NN_=%%a!
Echo !line! >> test%%a.txt
)
)
