is fine but not processing %1, whats wrong?

if not x==%1x goto end <-- may want to change this to 'if "x"=="%1x" goto end' that WAY, if %1 is more than one word, it wont get messed up
set a=%1
setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
set b=1
:loop.countChar.2
call set c=%%a:~!b!,1%%
if "%c%"=="" goto end
set /a b+=1
goto loop.countChar.2

echo Stacked files may exist, no switches given, read manual
ping localhost -n 5 >nul
dir /p
exit /b

set end=-%b%
for %%a in (*%1.*) do call :next "%%a"
goto :EOF
:next

call set "var=%%var:~0,%end%%%"
md "%var%" 2>nul

That's the only thing I can see, but there may be more that i'm missing. Hard to test without the files. If it still doesn't work, try dropping pause's between the chunks of code to find which one is causing the error.Quote from: strokeman on March 05, 2013, 07:29:39 PM
when theres not a %1 given, ie its blank z or x,y,z whatever you give it, z==z, so a TRUE condition is met.

It will fail with quoted terms. That technique from MSDOS days should be replaced with this in windows:

Code: [Select]if "%~1"==""Thanks for the correction foxidrive, I knew it looked funny, but couldn't figure out why.

out of curiosity, why would it fail with quotes? Does it have something to do with not replacing %1? It seemed to work when I used %a% in cmd.In this instance the %1 will contain quotes when long filename elements are used in %1.

if "%1z"=="z"

So that line will expand to this which is a mess and the long filename elements like spaces and & will cause an error MESSAGE:

if ""my file.txt"z"=="z"

i dont get it, have looked at it a million times. if i PUT in a %1 its fine, but with no commandline it gets stuck in the red section, incrementing to affinity, till i ^c it?Looking only at the red bit:

Code: [Select]goto end
:next
set "var=%~n1"
call set "var=%%var:~0,%end%%%"
md "%var%" 2>nul
echo moving %1 to "%var%"
move "%~1" "%var%" >nul
goto :EOFbugger, hl the wrong section, sorry!

set a=%1
setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
set b=1
:loop.countChar.2
call set c=%%a:~!b!,1%%
if "%c%"=="" goto end
set /a b+=1
goto loop.countChar.2
goto :EOF
The characters % and ^ in filenames might cause problems.

Code: [Select]@echo off
set "a=%~1"
set b=0
:loop.countChar.2
call set "c=%%a:~%b%,1%%"
if "%c%"=="" goto :end
set /a b+=1
goto loop.countChar.2

:end
echo %b%
pause
i just wrapped it in if not exist "%~1" (...code....). so it skips that section if no %1 specified, but thats just avoiding the prob, so will try your way.

thanks so far, you guys rock! theres some issues still, but have other 'work', so will have 2 shelve it for now . but ill be back.
