My goal at the outset was not to write the shortest code possible but to get the job done as I have had routines blow up when running into differing formats everywhere I go.<br/><br/>Respectfully, CarlAn alternative to using <strong>sShortdate</strong> would be using <strong>iDate</strong> and <strong>sDate</strong> in the <strong>HKCU\Control Panel\International</strong> registry key. The<strong> iDate</strong> defines three values and three date formats (0=mm/dd/yy, 1=dd/mm/yy, and 2=yy/mm/dd). The <strong>sDate</strong> value defines the separator which can be used as the delimeter in a <strong>for</strong> statement.<br/><br/>The only roadblock is that some machines display the day of week with the date command.

I am doing this because i am trying to automate an extremely repetitive scheduling task. <br/><br/>For example, I have a file named project.txt which has several lines, and it looks like this:<br/><br/>Firstidea<br/>Secondidea<br/>Thirdidea<br/>Fourthidea<br/>Fifthidea<br/>Sixthidea<br/>Seventhidea<br/>…..(and so on)<br/><br/>Im trying to make a .bat file that will read the file above and create a new file, called projectschedule.txt, that will look like this:<br/><br/><br/><br/> 4<br/> firstidea<br/><br/><br/> <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/1-236780" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about 1">1</a><br/> <br/><br/><br/> 0<br/> <br/><br/><br/> 4<br/> secondidea<br/><br/><br/> 1<br/> <br/><br/><br/> 0<br/> <br/><br/><br/> 4<br/> thirdidea<br/><br/><br/> 1<br/> <br/><br/><br/> 0<br/> <br/><br/><br/>…….And so on. <br/><br/><br/>So, the section from will reference the first line of the project.txt file. <br/>The section of will reference the 2nd line of the project.txt file<br/>The section of will reference the 3rd line of the project.txt file <br/>The section of will reference the <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/4th-319068" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about 4TH">4TH</a> line of the project.txt file<br/>The section of will reference the 5th line of the project.txt file<br/><br/>And so on for each line in the project.txt file. <br/><br/><br/>The project.txt file that the .bat file will be referencing can have hundreds of lines. How can I make a for loop to reference each individual line of the project.txt file to make an output file called projectschedule.txt that looks similar to above? <br/><br/>I am thinking that the loop will look something like this:<br/><br/>@<a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/echo-11626" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about ECHO">ECHO</a> off<br/>setlocal enabledelayedexpansion<br/>cd /d "C:\Users\John\Desktop\schedule"<br/>set /a sched=0<br/> for /f "delims=" %%A in (project.txt) do (<br/> echo > projectschedule.txt<br/> echo 4 >> projectschedule.txt<br/> echo firstidea >> projectschedule.txt<br/> echo >> projectschedule.txt<br/> echo >> projectschedule.txt<br/> echo 1 >> projectschedule.txt<br/> echo >> projectschedule.txt<br/> echo >> projectschedule.txt<br/> echo >> projectschedule.txt<br/> echo 0 >> projectschedule.txt<br/> echo >> projectschedule.txt<br/> echo >> projectschedule.txt<br/>sched=!sched!+<a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/3-236794" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about 3">3</a><br/>)<br/><br/><br/>I am new to batch, and i had a lot of help developing a similar batch from a forum a member named Salmon Trout. <br/><br/>The code above does not work. Part of the reason is because my output text needs to have < and > symbols. <br/><br/><br/>-----echo firstidea >> projectschedule.txt<br/>Also, the string above is the 8th line of the large code above. This string of code needs output the next consecutive line of the project.txt file each time it is looped through. Currently, the code above will only output"firstidea" every time it is looped through. <br/><br/><br/><br/>Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated. Hello,<br/><br/>Thank you for the input. <br/><br/>The code you sent above works great!<br/><br/>The line that helped out the most was <br/><br/> echo ^%%i^ >> projectschedule.txt<br/>inside of the do() loop, as i did not know how to reference each invidiviual line of the project.txt file as the loop was running. <br/><br/>Thanks again!</p></body></html> | |

Not including the dot which starts the extension?<br/><br/>Quote</p><blockquote>Do you think the FOR loop is appropriate for this? Thanks.</blockquote><br/>Absolutely.

Unfortunately it is 7 AM here and I am gong to work so I won't be able to actually post some example code until around 9 hours time. Maybe somebody else will beat me to the punch?

I actually posted the same question on another forum and code using the filename parameter extensions (ie, %~n and %~a) were used in an FOR loop. I'll have to brush up on the use of extensions. <br/><br/>I give credit to Salmon Trout and the other person with code for the solution. I'd post the other person's website and username, but I don't know how kosher that is with you all or him/her. Either way, you all have created a true believer in DOS-Batch.

When done doing that, post back here if you need another batch assignment for us to help you learn.<br/><br/>This reminds me of the guy who claimed he knew HTML and Java script when he contacted me about a problem and when i checked into his problem he was using a WYSIWYG HTML/Java script tool. When looking at the HTML/Java script source he was totally lost. He didnt know why or how any of it worked other than if he used his WYSIWYG tool that it is suppose to <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/work-20377" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about WORK">WORK</a> and it <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/doesnt-957774" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about DOESNT">DOESNT</a>. The problem here was the tool had a flaw in its design that reflected when it created his dynamic HTML / Java Script web pages 10 years ago. I directed him to take cheap courses at Virtual University Online which was like $20 for a semester of up to 4 courses. He took HTML, Java Script, and CSS and thanked me for directing him into really learning it. He is now a graphic artist who also creates professional web pages with some WYSIWYG tools as well as source code touch ups <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/since-644476" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about SINCE">SINCE</a> he can now go back and read it and understand it to correct it.</p></body></html> | |

Solve : Use Batch to Stop a service that is in a state of starting?? |

Solve : batch to stop services on multiple servers and then restart same services? |
| Answer» <html><body><p>I've seen some different postings regarding stopping and starting services and dependencies between services. Here is my need. I have 3 servers with one or two services in question running on each server. I will always know which of the 2 services exist on each server, so that is not an issue. Here is what needs to happen:<br/><br/>Stop IBM Cognos 8 on \\EP App Server<br/>wait for service to stop, then<br/>Stop IBM Cognos 8 Planning 8.4 on \\EP App Server<br/>wait for service to stop, then<br/>Stop IBM Cognos 8 on \\Web Server<br/>wait for service to stop, then<br/>Stop IBM Cognos 8 Planning 8.4 on \\Web Server<br/>wait for service to stop, then<br/>Stop IBM Cognos 8 on \\BI App Server<br/>wait for service to stop, then<br/><br/>Reboot all three servers<br/><br/>Wait for all three servers to start up<br/><br/>Start IBM Cognos 8 on \\BI App Server<br/>wait for service to start, then<br/>Start IBM Cognos 8 on \\EP App Server<br/>wait for service to start, then<br/>Start IBM Cognos 8 Planning 8.4 on \\EP App Server<br/>wait for service to start, then<br/>Start IBM Cognos 8 on \\Web Server<br/>wait for service to start, then<br/>Start IBM Cognos 8 Planning 8.4 on \\Web Server<br/><br/>If possible, then email an output showing that all services started properly. This is not as critical, but would be nice, though.<br/><br/>Notice that the services are started in the reverse order that they are stopped.<br/><br/>I am running Windows 2003 on all three servers.<br/><br/>Let me know what else you need to know...thanks, in advance!First you need to explain:<br/><br/><strong>IBM Cognos 8 Planning 8.4</strong><br/><br/>Here on this forum many are <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/using-1441597" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about USING">USING</a> Windows server 2003 and the commands are specific to windows.<br/>Does IBM Cognos 8 tun on Windows server 2003?<br/>And does it allow remote control?<br/>can you tell us the service name (Not display name) of IBM Cognos 8 and other service you mentioned. You can find this value when you double click on the service name in services.msc snap in.<br/><br/><br/>Also, I dont think there is a reliable way to "wait for the servers to comeup" from a script. Script can keep pinging the server but ping stars responding as soon as network services are started,does not mean the server is fully up. May be experts here are aware of any way.<br/><br/>Besides that what you asked can be done including emails. May be you can give a approximate time taken by the server for reboot and the script will wait for that much time.<br/><br/><br/><br/>thanks..<br/>Here's what I did that works (still room for improvement, but it works):<br/><br/><a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/echo-11626" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about ECHO">ECHO</a> off<br/><br/>REM Script created by Jeff Owen in June 2011 to recycle the Cognos services in the Cognos 8.4 QA environment<br/>REM and to reboot all of the servers in the environment<br/>REM --<br/>REM -- PURPOSE --<br/>REM Cognos Planning performs much of its tasks using java processes constrained by 2G of RAM on each<br/>REM processor, given the 32-bit platform for the Planning applications.

Solve : File Compare? |
| Answer» <html><body><p>Hello all,<br/><br/>I am using file compare on two text files. It seems to return the line previous to and the line following, as well as the line that's different. Is this correct? I don't find this noted in FC help info. <br/><br/>Thank,<br/><br/>SandyFC shows the differences in a dumb way. If you want to know the first place in a file where there is a difference, use a binary comparison.<br/><br/><a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/code-25512" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about CODE">CODE</a>: <a>[Select]</a>C:\>type file1<br/>hello<br/>goodbye<br/>different1<br/><br/>C:\>type file2<br/>hello<br/>goodbye<br/>different2<br/><br/>C:\>fc file1 file2<br/>Comparing files file1 and FILE2<br/>***** file1<br/>goodbye<br/>different1<br/>***** FILE2<br/>goodbye<br/>different2<br/>*****<br/><br/>Code: <a>[Select]</a>C:\>fc /b file1 file2<br/>Comparing files file1 and FILE2<br/>00000019: 31 32<br/>So then, I should see the line that's different, along with the line above and the line after it (if there is one)? <br/><br/>I apologize that I don't know how to read the binary result, if you could get me started with that.<br/><br/>Thanks.What is the reason for using FC? What are you trying to find out about the two files?<br/>I'm running an invoice off of a system. I want to make sure the invoice is exactly like a previous run of that invoice. <br/><br/>I expected to see the run date was different. The additional lines threw me and I could not find anything different about them. Except that it appears to be including info from above and below the line of discrepancy. (A name edit had also taken place in the body of the invoice, so there was extraneous info there also). A bit confusing when you're only expecting to see what's different. <br/><br/>So I' was trying to confirm how FC works and that I'm not somehow missing something. <br/><br/><br/><br/>Actually, I had done a test with text and it returned the lines above and below the line of discrepancy. So I thought that's what was happening. <br/><br/>Looking at the real data:<br/><br/>* It is showing only the last 8 characters of the 136 character line above. <br/><br/>* What looks like it would be the line below the line of discrepancy (which has a name edit) <br/> is actually the last 32 characters of that same line (which is 160 characters total). <br/><br/><br/>Specifically how does FC report back? <br/><br/><br/> <br/>Can anyone describe what FC would return when one line is different? Why don't you do some experiments?<br/>I did do a controlled test to see what returned. The real data return seems different and I don't understand the result. So, I'm not understanding what FC is supposed to return when one line differs. <br/><br/>I'd like to know the syntax for the return if anyone knows it (can't seem to find it anywhere for some reason). <br/><br/>Quote from: sandy1000 on June 24, 2011, 09:49:17 AM</p><blockquote>I did do a controlled test to see what returned.

Perhaps some users night believe that the old DOS has primitive utilities that can better manage the hard drive. Not so. <br/></blockquote>Quite right, and I do agree with you here. I don't think I would ever say fdisk is easier to use- or understand- then <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/something-25913" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about SOMETHING">SOMETHING</a> like Disk Management or GParted, unless one has already had experience using it.<br/><br/>Quote<blockquote>These utilities wee written before significant changes were made in Hared Drive geometry and do not perform as the user might wish.</blockquote>"These utilities"; they only talk about fdisk, and there is no significant danger from running fdisk on a drive, since it will not rewrite the boot code of the MBR, only the partition table.<br/><br/>Quote<blockquote>The MAR is not just an area one the hard drive where some address are stored.</blockquote>I never said it was. It is one area of the hard drive, though. the first sector of the drive, to be exact. Exactly 512 bytes. The offsets of important data are in fact standardized. All MBR's will have the Partition table (4 16-byte entries) at offset 446 within the sector. This is never different, regardless of the operating system. All that changes is the bytes before that, which determine the actual code used to start the boot loader itself. NT's boot loader differed from Win9x/MSDOS because it needed to have rudimentary support for NTFS to be able to find the boot loader, additionally it needed to know to look for NTLDR. Windows Vista's MBR boot code differs from XP and earlier in that they changed the boot loader to bootmgr, which has far more capabilities than NTLDR. Either way, the only task of the boot code in the MBR is to start this boot loader. That's it. It doesn't determine or change the "layout" of data on the drive, excepting of course the partition table.<br/><br/><br/>Quote<blockquote>There are rules as ton what can be placed there.</blockquote>Yes. That's what I've been saying.<br/><br/>Quote<blockquote>The rules have changed.</blockquote>No they haven't. The code area of the MBR is still the first 446 bytes. the partition table is still 4 16 byte entries. the MBR signature that follows is still 2 bytes. What rules have changed with Vista? none- the only difference is that there is a different boot code to look for the new boot loader. Does the boot loader operate differently? Of course. But GRUB also operates differently from NTLDR and LILO operates different from BOOTMGR, but for some reason nobody is saying that a tool like GPARTED will cause the MBR to become "corrupted".<br/><br/>Quote<blockquote>The rules are not consistent</blockquote>Yes. they are really quite simple. Certain data is stored at specific offsets. 4 partitions per drive. the size of logical drives in the extended partition(which can be used to work past the "4-partition limit" are stored in EBR (Extended Boot Records) within the Extended partition. This has not changed with Vista.<br/><br/>Quote<blockquote>The full set of rules is not seen by a casual examination of the area.</blockquote>Yes, they are. the fact that the Vista and XP MBR's both conform to the given <em>standard</em> for MBR layout sort of confirms that there is a full set of rules and they are being used by both operating <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/systems-239492" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about SYSTEMS">SYSTEMS</a>.<br/><br/><br/>Quote<blockquote>The rules have been a moving target. </blockquote>They were never a moving target. In fact, the layout of the MBR has been entirely unchanged since MS-DOS 2.00 when the original Hard disk support was added. Probably earlier. No Operating System that runs on a PC has used a on-disk format that didn't have an MBR. This includes Vista x64 when the drives are partitioned using GPT, since those drives also have a valid MBR- GPT acts as an extension.<br/>Quote<blockquote>That is why the GUID is now the way to go.<br/></blockquote>GPT is the preferred choice over the longer course simply because it extends the limitations of MBR. with MBR, no one partition can exceed 2TB in size, and no one partition can have an offset larger then 2TB from the start of the disk. needless to say this causes problems when you have drives larger than 2TB, which are starting to become available on the consumer market. It also adds redundant partition tables to mitigate the issues with the MBR's partition table (which, to repeat, is always at offset 446 and is always 16*4 bytes in size), where there was only one copy and if it got corrupted for any reason the disk was pretty <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/much-249971" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about MUCH">MUCH</a> unsalvageable (without tools like MIRROR, of course). From the looks of things GPT merely brings to the lower level structures of the disk what file systems like NTFS, HPFS, Ext2/3/4 and so forth have been providing as file systems for years- that is, larger sized partitions, more partitions, and better resilience.I use Partition Manager 8 booted from a DOS floppy or a bootable USB drive. PM8 will see as much of the drive as your BIOS allows.<br/><br/>PM8 will do just about anything you need to do a hard drive - partitioning, format FAT, FAT32, NTFS (all versions) etc. You can hide partitions, pick which partion you want active etc. Version 4 or 5 will format HPFS if you need it.<br/><br/>If you have the Windows version you can create the 'rescue disks' if you have a 1.4 <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/mb-546939" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about MB">MB</a> floppy drive.

Since PathPing shows the degree of packet loss at any given router or link, you can pinpoint which routers or links might be causing network problems.<br/><br/><a href="https://technet.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/cc958876.aspx">http://technet.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/cc958876.aspx</a><br/><br/><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PathPing">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PathPing</a><br/><br/>Example (My IP obfuscated):<br/><br/>Code: <a>[Select]</a>C:\Users\Salmon>pingpath<br/>'pingpath' is not recognized as an internal or external command,<br/>operable program or <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/batch-893737" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about BATCH">BATCH</a> file.<br/><br/>C:\Users\Salmon>pathping<br/><br/>Usage: pathping [-g host-list] [-h maximum_hops] [-i address] [-n]<br/> [-p period] [-q num_queries] [-w timeout]<br/> [-4] [-6] target_name<br/><br/>Options:<br/> -g host-list Loose <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/source-244756" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about SOURCE">SOURCE</a> route along host-list.<br/> -h maximum_hops Maximum number of hops to search for target.<br/> -i address Use the specified source address.<br/> -n Do not resolve addresses to hostnames.<br/> -p period Wait period milliseconds between pings.<br/> -q num_queries Number of queries per hop.<br/> -w timeout Wait timeout milliseconds for each reply.<br/> -4 Force using IPv4.<br/> -6 Force using IPv6.<br/><br/>C:\Users\Salmon>pathping www.google.com<br/><br/>Tracing route to www.l.google.com [209.85.229.147]<br/>over a maximum of 30 hops:<br/> 0 Salmon-And-Tuna.cable.virginmedia.net [99.99.999.99]<br/> 1 10.15.176.1<br/> 2 aztw-geam-1a-ge134.network.virginmedia.net [80.1.242.49]<br/> 3 aztw-core-1a-ae0-0.network.virginmedia.net [80.1.241.9]<br/> 4 winn-bb-1a-as0-0.network.virginmedia.net [213.105.175.157]<br/> 5 manc-bb-1b-as7-0.network.virginmedia.net [212.43.163.189]<br/> 6 tele-ic-3-ae0-0.network.virginmedia.net [212.43.163.70]<br/> 7 158-14-250-212.static.virginmedia.com [212.250.14.158]<br/> 8 209.85.255.175<br/> 9 209.85.253.94<br/>10 72.14.232.134<br/>11 209.85.252.83<br/>12 209.85.243.85<br/>13 ww-in-f147.1e100.net [209.85.229.147]<br/><br/>Computing statistics for 325 seconds...<br/> Source to Here This Node/Link<br/>Hop <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/rtt-615567" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about RTT">RTT</a> Lost/Sent = Pct Lost/Sent = Pct Address<br/> 0 Salmon-And-Tuna.cable.virginmedia.net [82.33.185.47]<br/> 0/ 100 = 0% |<br/> 1 --- 100/ 100 =100% 100/ 100 =100% 10.15.176.1<br/> 0/ 100 = 0% |<br/> 2 17ms 0/ 100 = 0% 0/ 100 = 0% aztw-geam-1a-ge134.network.virginmedia.net [80.1.242.49]<br/> 0/ 100 = 0% |<br/> 3 15ms 0/ 100 = 0% 0/ 100 = 0% aztw-core-1a-ae0-0.network.virginmedia.net [80.1.241.9]<br/> 0/ 100 = 0% |<br/> 4 19ms 0/ 100 = 0% 0/ 100 = 0% winn-bb-1a-as0-0.network.virginmedia.net [213.105.175.157]<br/> 0/ 100 = 0% |<br/> 5 25ms 0/ 100 = 0% 0/ 100 = 0% manc-bb-1b-as7-0.network.virginmedia.net [212.43.163.189]<br/> 0/ 100 = 0% |<br/> 6 31ms 0/ 100 = 0% 0/ 100 = 0% tele-ic-3-ae0-0.network.virginmedia.net [212.43.163.70]<br/> 0/ 100 = 0% |<br/> 7 29ms 0/ 100 = 0% 0/ 100 = 0% 158-14-250-212.static.virginmedia.com [212.250.14.158]<br/> 0/ 100 = 0% |<br/> 8 27ms 0/ 100 = 0% 0/ 100 = 0% 209.85.255.175<br/> 0/ 100 = 0% |<br/> 9 26ms 0/ 100 = 0% 0/ 100 = 0% 209.85.253.94<br/> 0/ 100 = 0% |<br/>10 32ms 0/ 100 = 0% 0/ 100 = 0% 72.14.232.134<br/> 0/ 100 = 0% |<br/>11 37ms 0/ 100 = 0% 0/ 100 = 0% 209.85.252.83<br/> 0/ 100 = 0% |<br/>12 37ms 0/ 100 = 0% 0/ 100 = 0% 209.85.243.85<br/> 0/ 100 = 0% |<br/>13 33ms 0/ 100 = 0% 0/ 100 = 0% ww-in-f147.1e100.net [209.85.229.147]<br/><br/>Trace complete.<br/><br/>C:\Users\Salmon><br/><br/><br/><br/>Thank you once again Salmon.

Everybody who reaches the level in batch scripting of using loops seems to wonder "Why don't my variables change value in a loop?" The answer is to do with the way that the command interpreter expands variables before running a script. Variables which are set (and read) inside a loop or other parenthetical structure such as a FOR loop or extended IF structure or a && or || block will NOT change unless you use DELAYED EXPANSION. <br/><br/>1.

Thank you very much!! That worked!<br/>What does all that mean if you don't mind explaining?<br/><br/>I wonder why I have to use PING for XP<br/>but Win7 reads it fine with timeout #?<br/><br/>very confusing for me :p<br/><br/>Much appreciated!Quote from: sehana on July 08, 2011, 01:30:46 PM<blockquote>What does all that mean if you don't mind explaining?</blockquote><br/>When you use start like this ("title" can just be 2 quotes "" but cannot be left out) <strong>start "title" "program.exe" </strong> then the script starts program.exe and then returns at once, leaving program.exe running. So now you want to wait for a period of time before starting the next program. Ping can provide that delay and works with all versions of Windows. 127.0.0.1 is the IP address of the same computer that the script is running on. Its name is localhost. The ping command can take a parameter -n followed by a number which is the number of times to ping. The standard ping interval is 1 second. So ping -n 11 sends the first request and it gets a reply immediately, waits one second, sends the next request, gets an immediate reply, and so on – for the ten requests after the first. So to localhost those 11 times takes exactly 10 seconds. We redirect the output to nul so we don't see the ping command or its output on the screen.<br/><br/>Quote<blockquote>I wonder why I have to use PING for XP but Win7 reads it fine with timeout #?</blockquote><br/>The reason why you cannot use timeout with XP is that the timeout.exe program was not included with XP. It was first introduced in Vista.<br/><br/>Thank You!!<br/>I understand it much better now <br/><br/>I was wondering what the ping was for and didn't understand it, but now I understand, thank you Quote from: sehana on July 08, 2011, 02:36:11 PM<blockquote>I was wondering what the ping was for and didn't understand it, but now I understand, thank you </blockquote><br/><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ping">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ping</a><br/><br/>Reading the OP's request I'm wondering why nobody has given the answer yet. <br/><br/>I've been doing the same thing in batch files for somewhere around 30 years, or so.<br/><br/>This would be my <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/solution-25781" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about SOLUTION">SOLUTION</a>:<br/><br/><strong>@Echo off<br/>cls<br/>call program1<br/>call program2<br/>call program3<br/>Rem this batch file will close after program3 runs.</strong><br/><br/>The rule for the "Call" command is that it will maintain the entire batch file in memory till the last program being called closes.<br/>No line can execute till the previous line has completed.<br/><br/>Without the call command, the batch file would close when the first program runs and the subsequent programs would never run at all. <br/><br/>I do hope this helps.<br/><br/><br/>PS: Or more specifically......<br/><br/><strong>@Echo off<br/>cls<br/>Call "C:\Program Files\GIMP-2.0\bin\gimp-2.6.exe"<br/>Call "C:\Program Files\iTunes\iTunes.exe"<br/>Call "C:\Program Files\Corel\Corel Paint Shop Pro Photo XI\Corel Paint Shop Pro Photo.exe"<br/>Call "C:\Program Files\CoreFTP\coreftp.exe"<br/></strong>Quote from: TheShadow on July 09, 2011, 08:42:02 AM<blockquote>Reading the OP's request I'm wondering why nobody has given the answer yet. </blockquote><br/>You <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/appear-2437800" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about APPEAR">APPEAR</a> to be answering a question other than the one the OP asked. If you read the whole thread, you will see that he (or she) wishes to start a program, wait a short while, then start a second program, then wait a short while, then start a third program, and so on. He does not wish to run the programs in sequence, closing one before running the next.<br/><br/>Quote<blockquote>Without the call command, the batch file would close when the first program runs and the subsequent programs would never run at all. </blockquote><br/>This only applies to other batch files. You can start an executable program and depending on the syntax used for the start command, control will return to the batch script either at once or when the program has terminated.<br/><br/></body></html> | |

Solve : Rename multiple folders using Dos commands? |
| Answer» <html><body><p>Hi There,<br/><br/>I am a content uploader for mobile phones. I need to format various content provided by the vendors to ours standard format. so, plz help me to rename multiple FOLDERS at one time to our desired format. <br/><br/>Example:<br/><br/>From Format<br/>30x30png<br/>40x30bmp<br/>120x300_bmp<br/>BMP270x300<br/><br/>To Format<br/>png30x30<br/>bmp40x30<br/>bmp120x300<br/>bmp270x300<br/><br/>Thanks!Hello,<br/>The problem you have <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/presented-2950178" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about PRESENTED">PRESENTED</a> can easily be done in a batch file. However, there is some information that you have not given. What assurance is there that these file names are unique and will not encounter duplication when they are converted?<br/>Here's why I ask. Programming involves more than just finding some code that takes care of a specific issue. Programming also involves foresight as to conflicts. Some mechanism is needed to guarantee the file names be unique.<br/>This leads to the prospect of using a different method rather than just changing names in batch files. Without knowing more about what kind of system you're using, there should be some kind of library, database or index is able to keep track of files and a sign them a suitable alias reusing your system. Imperatively changing a file name can have serious consequences. The so-called DOS environment does not have a recursive tracking the history of a file, such as who the author was, what its original name was and other information like that. If you're doing <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/anything-380254" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about ANYTHING">ANYTHING</a> on a very large scale you should be using some kind of database or library system and not relying just on DOS.<br/>Okay. That is the end of my rant. I thought appropriate to say this because you indicate your going to be doing this over a large-scale and many other people would be affected by what you do. End of rant.<br/><br/>Somebody will come here and give you a neat clean solution to your problem using only DOS and no third-party programs.The folder names have no pattern, so writing a script would be problematic. <br/><br/>Folders 1 & 2: move three trailing characters to be three leading characters<br/>Folder 3: same as two above folders and eliminate the underscore<br/>Folder 4: Replace three leading uppercase characters with lowercase characters<br/><br/>The logic for folder 1,2,3 can be combined into a single script block. Folder 4 <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/presents-605084" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about PRESENTS">PRESENTS</a> a problem. Not only will it require a separate script block, but there is no characteristic to key off of in order to determine when to activate that script block.<br/><br/>This little snippet will handle folders 1,2,3:<br/><br/>Code: <a>[<a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/select-630282" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about SELECT">SELECT</a>]</a>@echo off<br/>setlocal enabledelayedexpansion<br/><br/>for /f "tokens=* delims=*" %%i in ('dir /b /ad') do (<br/> set dirname=%%i<br/> set dirname1=!dirname:_=!<br/> set prefix=!dirname1:~-3!<br/> set suffix=!dirname1:~0,-3!<br/> ren !dirname! !prefix!!suffix!<br/>) <br/><br/>Path information is your responsibility. As for folder #4, converting uppercase to lowercase can be done, but as mentioned there is nothing inherent in the folder name to distinguish it from the other three.<br/><br/>Good luck. <br/><br/>I would humbly suggest brute force:<br/><br/>Code: <a>[Select]</a>@echo off<br/>ren 30x30png png30x30<br/>ren 40x30bmp bmp40x30<br/>ren 120x300_bmp bmp120x300<br/>ren BMP270x300 bmp270x300<br/><br/>Hi Sidewinder/Geek-9pm,<br/><br/>I really appreciate your support for the scripts and about letting me know the scale of the problem.<br/><br/>Thanks!<br/>Sravan<br/>Hi, <br/><br/>Guys can we execute the script based on the idea..<br/><br/>(special character)(file type:png/bmp)(special character)[size](special character)(file type:png/bmp)(special character)<br/><br/>Special character= all wild characters like (.,_-$#@!%^&*..etc)<br/>Size=100x100, 200x100 ..etc<br/>file type: png/bmp Lower case letters.<br/>I'm just not getting it. The original solution was specific to the sample folder names you posted. <br/><br/>What is this?<br/>Quote</p><blockquote>(special character)(file type:png/bmp)(special character)[size](special character)(file type:png/bmp)(special character)<br/></blockquote> <br/><br/>Depending on the language, special characters need to be <em>escaped</em>, or not, depending on their usage. You're creating unneeded problems.<br/><br/>Pattern matching and replacements can be accomplished by using regular expressions (RegEx). The RegEx engine in batch is next to useless, but VBScript, Powershell, Python, and Perl along with many UNIX utilities can handle most tasks. Is that a possibilty?<br/><br/>The easiest solution of course would be to tell your vendors what format to supply their content in.<br/><br/>Let use know. Hi,<br/><br/>Thanks for the advice..i won't be <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/worrying-2336823" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about WORRYING">WORRYING</a> any of us..will go with the brute force as you mentioned..its easy..and more over..i am new to programming and interested to write scripts..so i wish to try.. anyways will stay connected to learn.<br/><br/>Regards,<br/>Sravan Hello,<br/>I am also in the similar situation, trying to rename folders.
