Solve : MS DOS Batch - String Manipulation? |
| Answer» <html><body><p>Does anyone here have experience with modifying text files via batch? I would like to create a .BAT that can be executed via Shell Wait in MS Access 2003. The text file needs to be modified/overwritten to remove lines of text that presently represent headers/footers causing problems with MS Access import specifications. The file originates as a UNIX print spooler file that I have retrieved via ftp and saved to the Windows box as an ASCII .txt file.<br/><br/>Please respond with "dummy" instructions. My DOS is very old rusty knowledge and will require some hand holding to implement.To remove lines with specific text you could try using the TYPE command piped to the FIND command and redirect the output to a new file. The /v switch for FIND means "filter lines that do not contain the text in quotes".<br/><br/>examples<br/><br/> Code: <a>[Select]</a>type "before.txt" | find /v "This text is only found in a HEADER" > "after.txt"<br/>type "before.txt" | find /v "This text is only found in a FOOTER" > "after.txt"<br/>type "before.txt" | find /v "This text is only found in a HEADER" | find /v "This text is only found in a FOOTER"> "after.txt"<br/><br/>Having done the processing you could then <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/delete-karana-436574" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about DELETE">DELETE</a> before.txt and rename after.txt to before.txt.<br/>SUPER - I just tried it out and it worked like a CHARM! Do you know how I can use the same to incorporate special characters such as CR, LF, etc also can I include wildcards? Quote from: danyelle on February 23, 2010, 03:08:23 PM</p><blockquote>SUPER - I just tried it out and it worked like a CHARM! Do you know how I can use the same to incorporate special characters such as CR, LF, etc also can I include wildcards?<br/></blockquote> <br/>I am not sure what you mean by this; if you filtered out lines with a CR or an LF, you'd filter out everything. If you want to replace one character (or a set of characters) with another within word or line of text that is possible<br/><br/>e.g.<br/><br/>set text=Mary had a little lamb; its fleece was white as snow.<br/><br/>set text=%text:Mary=Joe%<br/>result: Joe had a little lamb; its fleece was white as snow.<br/><br/>set text=%text:lamb=cat%<br/>result: Joe had a little cat; its fleece was white as snow.<br/><br/>set text=%text:white=black%<br/>set text=%text:snow=coal%<br/>result: Joe had a little cat; its fleece was black as coal.<br/><br/>as for "wildcards", that makes me think you would do well to study "regular expressions", which you can use with find's grown up brother, findstr.<br/><br/>For heavy duty string manipulation, Visual Basic Script is probably easier to use and more efficient.<br/><br/><br/>you can use batch to do string manipulation but its capabilities in <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/terms-239101" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about TERMS">TERMS</a> of string/text manipulation is primitive and full of inefficiency. for better text manipulation capabilities, use tools, such as Perl (or Python) or gawk (see my sig). <br/>you can also make use GNU tools like head /tail to remove headers/footers ,<br/> Code: <a>[Select]</a>C:\test>more file<br/>header<br/>text1<br/>text2<br/>footer<br/><br/>C:\test>tail -n +2 file | head -n -1<br/>text1<br/>text2<br/><br/><br/>show an example of your text file, and describe the output you want.[duplicate] Quote from: Salmon Trout on February 23, 2010, 03:48:45 PM<blockquote>I am not sure what you mean by this; if you filtered out lines with a CR or an LF, you'd filter out everything. <br/><br/>For heavy duty string manipulation, Visual Basic Script is probably easier to use and more efficient.<br/></blockquote> <br/>Good observation, I wasn't thinking <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/clearly-420736" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about CLEARLY">CLEARLY</a> when I mentioned the CR/LF as it relates to this <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/function-11303" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about FUNCTION">FUNCTION</a>. My thoughts are that if the I know that line of text on which the real data begins, I could somehow remove or replace the first <em>n</em> lines each time which would me the first <em>n</em> CR/LF lines would be removed and then the script would be more universally suited to apply to a variety of text files where each header/footer may contain different text.<br/><br/>As for a Visual Basic approach I would be interested in your thoughts. I am ultimately doing this to accomodate an fix width delmitation into MS Access tables, that said I couldn't find an equivalent to InputString function VB function in VBA. Quote from: danyelle on February 24, 2010, 07:37:28 AM<blockquote>As for a Visual Basic approach I would be interested in your thoughts. I am ultimately doing this to accomodate an fix width delmitation into MS Access tables, that said I couldn't find an equivalent to InputString function VB function in VBA.<br/></blockquote> Use the InputBox function in VBA, for example<br/> Code: <a>[Select]</a>DocumentName = InputBox("Document Name ?")um..<br/><br/>VB.NET has an InputString Function:<br/><br/> Code: <a>[Select]</a>InputString(_<br/> ByVal FileNumber As Integer, _<br/> ByVal CharCount As Integer _<br/>) As String<br/><br/>looks like it reads data from a file- InputBox does not.<br/><br/>VBA is nearly identical to VB6 in what features it supports; so:<br/><br/>Paste In a new module:<br/><br/> Code: <a>[Select]</a>Public Function TrimFile(ByVal sFileName As String, ByVal sOutputFile As String, Optional ByVal SkipHeaderLines As Integer = <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/0-242464" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about 0">0</a>, Optional ByVal SkipFooterLines As Integer = 0)<br/> Dim fnum As Integer<br/> Dim ftemp As Integer, temppath As String<br/> Dim textin As String<br/> Dim FoundHeadercrlf As Long, FoundFooterCrlf As Long<br/> fnum = FreeFile<br/> Open sFileName For Input As fnum<br/> <br/> ftemp = FreeFile<br/><br/> <br/> Open sOutputFile For Output As ftemp<br/><br/> textin = Input$(LOF(fnum), fnum)<br/> Close fnum<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> Dim currcount As Long<br/> If SkipHeaderLines Then<br/> FoundHeadercrlf = 1<br/> Do Until currcount = SkipHeaderLines<br/> currcount = currcount + 1<br/> FoundHeadercrlf = InStr(FoundHeadercrlf + 1, textin, vbCrLf)<br/> Loop<br/> <br/> End If<br/> <br/> If SkipFooterLines Then<br/> FoundFooterCrlf = Len(textin)<br/> currcount = 0<br/> Do Until currcount = SkipFooterLines<br/> currcount = currcount + 1<br/> FoundFooterCrlf = InStrRev(textin, vbCrLf, FoundFooterCrlf - 1)<br/> Loop<br/> <br/> End If<br/><br/> textin = Mid$(textin, FoundHeadercrlf, FoundFooterCrlf - FoundHeadercrlf)<br/> <br/> 'remove leading and trailing crlfs...<br/> Do Until Left$(textin, 2) <> vbCrLf<br/> textin = Mid$(textin, 3)<br/> Loop<br/> <br/> Do Until Right$(textin, 2) <> vbCrLf<br/> textin = Mid$(textin, 1, Len(textin) - 2)<br/> Loop<br/> <br/> Print #ftemp, textin<br/> <br/> Close #ftemp<br/> <br/>End Function<br/><br/><br/><br/>In my tests this seems to do what you require, if I understand what you require, of course.<br/><br/>basically, just call it like this:<br/>TrimFile(ByVal sFileName As String, ByVal sOutputFile As String, Optional ByVal SkipHeaderLines As Integer = 0, Optional ByVal SkipFooterLines As Integer = 0)<br/> Code: <a>[Select]</a>TrimFile("D:\Filename.txt","D:\output.txt", <number of header lines to skip>, <number of footer lines to skip>)<br/>remember to replace each parameter with the filenames and the number of header and footer lines you REALLY want to skip.<br/><br/>This code should work in Access 97 and higher, so you should be fine.</body></html> | |

Solve : Searching for files within subdirectories? |

I know how to read the list, however I do not know how to make it search all subdirectories without mapping each directory within its own nested for loop.<br/><br/>Also then conversely I want to search all files in the directories and subdirectories and have them checked off against the list to make sure there are not any extra files in the folders.<br/><br/>If someone could <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/show-236642" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about SHOW">SHOW</a> me the command for subdirectory searching or an example of it I could probably figure out how to make both of these processes work.<br/><br/>EDIT: Something to take into consideration, these folders may have spaces in them and I do not have the power to rename said folders. They are given to me to check, I'm not sure if this will be an issue when doing a nested for to check through but figured I'd bring it up now as opposed to after I get a potential answer only to have it blow up due to the space int he folder <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/name-237998" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about NAME">NAME</a>.Okay through some reasearch I found out how to use both "tokens=*" which would handle the spaces issue, and then I found the /R switch for the for loop but no matter how I try to use it it's always crashing.

I'll get back to you when I try your solution thanks for all the responses.<br/><br/>The color change was because that's my favorite color scheme, and the echo off was commented out for debugging (as was the random "echo HAMSTERS!" in the one loop there was issues with execution of certain areas so I would put random outputs to make sure they were being executed...that one just got left it )<br/><br/>Thanks Again hopefully I'll be able to get back with results.Sorry for the super delayed response, but I just got a chance to try the change you suggested and my code still isn't finding any of the files in the subdirectories. I tried both my code with your change and your code by itself (which gave a strange error about not being able to find the file at first). But neither of them correctly reported that the files were there.<br/><br/>Also if you were wondering why there were extra files within the lower subdirectories it's because after I get this first step done I'm going to have it check all file names to what's in the list to ensure there are no extra files either.<br/><br/>Also it error's out on the Decent Players portion because of the space in the name, can you think of a way to remedy this?Figure I'll post my latest code just to verify. I broke out the nested loop because I'm trying to get it to terminate once it finds a match to save time. Else for every object it will loop through the entire package and that will take considerable amounts of time with bigger packages.<br/><br/> Code: <a>[Select]</a>echo off<br/>color 0A<br/>::The preceding line turns off screen printing and sets the text color to Bright Green.<br/><br/>::Created by Scott Dean<br/><br/>::Begins to search through the inlist file to get the names of the files.<br/><br/>setlocal enabledelayedexpansion<br/>for /F "tokens=*" %%I in (inlist) do (<br/>::Calls the ResetBool function<br/>Call :ResetBool<br/>::Sets filename equal to the value found from the inlist<br/>set filename=%%I<br/><br/>::Calls the two nested loops.

I don't know standards for batches and I just find it easier to type :: rather than rem. Also coming from a C (primarily C#) background I'm more comofortable with the :: beacuse its similar to the // comment. I think the constant spam of rem in the code makes it harder to read.:: within the body of the loop can cause problems, since : is really a label delimiter.<br/><br/>the only "legitimate" comment is REM, and really that's just an internal command that does nothing.</body></html> | |

Start Windows<br/>echo 2. Return to DOS<br/><br/>and then, for each choice, you create a batch file- 1.bat, 2.bat, etc. so when they enter their choice, it starts that batch file.<br/><br/>To segregate this stuff from the rest of the system, you could even put it in it's own folder, say, C:\menu :<br/><br/>so C:\menu would contain menu.bat, 1.bat, 2.bat, etc for each choice.<br/><br/>Then, if you want the menu to start automatically, you do so via autoexec.bat, by adding this to the end of the file:<br/><br/> Code: <a>[Select]</a>cd \menu<br/>menu<br/>Must be brain freeze. <br/><br/>DOS 6.22 came with a utility called <strong>choice</strong>. It only accepts a single character, but that's all you really need for this situation. Type <strong>choice /?</strong> at the command prompt for details.<br/><br/>Date and time: check the autoexec.bat file (on the USB drive) you're using and see if those two commands are included. If so that's where the prompts are coming from. How old is this machine? The battery may be dead. Modern OSes can get the date/time from a time server...DOS is not a modern OS. <br/><br/>Good luck. <a href="http://www.shiningstar.net/geek/html/multiconfig.html">http://www.shiningstar.net/geek/html/multiconfig.html</a> Quote from: Helpmeh on March 04, 2010, 04:35:45 PM<blockquote> You will know this if you actually look at the posts made by people other than yourself.<br/></blockquote> <br/>Thanks for the tip "Helpme"<br/><br/>I have now looked at the complete thread for a solution by "Helpme" and cannot find it.

GRRR!) to do is basically to find out which version of a program is installed - in this case Trend's Office Scan Client - , then use the correct uninstaller to remove it from the target PC, restart the PC and recheck - if it finds no key, install v10 and finally delete the files from the startup folder.<br/><br/>If you can suggest another way of doing this - I'd be most grateful!I haven't got those keys on my system, but assuming you typed out the correct keys, you may need to do something like this:<br/><br/> Code: <a>[Select]</a>echo off<br/>for /f "skip=4 tokens=1-3*" %%i in ('REG QUERY HKLM\Software\TrendMicro\PC-cillinNTCorp\CurrentVersion\Misc /v ProgramVer') do (<br/> set pgmVer=%%k<br/>)<br/>echo %pgmVer%<br/><br/>The %%k token will have the version number, the value of which can be persisted by setting a variable to the value of the %%k temporary token.<br/><br/>Hope this helps.

I added an extra <strong>reg query</strong> so the batch file would not error out before it got to the <strong>for</strong> instruction. You might want to change the target of the <strong>goto</strong>.<br/><br/>If you run the <strong>reg query</strong> from the prompt, you'll notice that the version is in the third chunk of data on the last line. I simply skipped the other lines (including the blanks) and extracted the version to do the compares.

Solve : Can't run dos from Hdd?? |
| Answer» <html><body><p>Ok so a few weeks ago i pulled out my dads <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/old-585313" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about OLD">OLD</a> compaq presario 433. I turned it on and it said <br/>missing operating sys. so i tried to install dos. the a drive didn't read. i replaced the drive and <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/installed-499454" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about INSTALLED">INSTALLED</a> dos 6.22. after installation the computer restarted and said missing os again? why. So using a floppy hdd for dos meaning i have a floppy as my hdd. i put that in and it worked so i changed the dir. from A:\ to C:\ <br/>the hdd seems to have all sys files why won't it work?if you used the Fdisk command to make the partition you need a partition activeso i sould delete partition make a new one and install again?Yes. Use the FDISK program from MSDOS from the floppy.<br/>Make a single partition. Not too big. Don't forget to make it active.<br/>Don't try to make a partition above 2GB.<br/>Then reboot from floppy and do:<br/>format c:/s<br/>After that you can boot from the C: drive.<br/>he doesn't have to remake it if it is already under 2 GB just make it active. Quote from: mat123 on March 07, 2010, 07:00:51 AM</p><blockquote>he doesn't have to remake it if it is already under 2 GB just make it active.<br/></blockquote> Not true.how is it not true?The FDISK program in WIndows <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/98-malyana-ka-rinae-samajhata-para-hasatakashhara-236807" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about 98">98</a> differs from earlier versions. Did he say he used the actual FDISK for MSDOS and that no other program was used to create partitions?<br/>The 2GB pr less partition must be the first on the drive and the drive must be partitioned by a program that conforms to the MS-DOS limitations about <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/large-1066424" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about LARGE">LARGE</a> drives. The BIOS should also conform to the MS DOS limitation.<br/><br/> Quote<blockquote> (b) 2 GB (gigabytes) includes a limit of 1024 cylinders per drive<br/> imposed by the standard AT ROM BIOS interrupt 13 protocol.<br/></blockquote> <a href="https://support.microsoft.com/kb/69912">http://support.microsoft.com/kb/69912</a><br/><br/>In short, you end of with a drive that can not be of much piratical use for other Operating systems. Better to just use an old 1.5 GB drive for DOS.<br/><br/><em>Now if I am wrong about his please correct me. I am depending on memory, which is not getting very old, Version 72..</em><br/><br/><br/><br/>that makes since I'm familiar from 98 upThanks a lot guys every-thing works! Anyway just saying my hdd is only 540mg but just to know is it possible to make a hdd bigger when creating a new partition? Because the only thing i'm going to use this computer for is old dos games for the work better in original dos rather then win 98I've created partitions with Windows 2000 and XP and it worked fine to install DOS 6.22....<br/><br/>Windows 98's FDISK only creates partitions that cannot be used with DOS when you create one larger then 2GB.<br/><br/>And the only reason is because that is beyond the limit of FAT, not because of some inherent flaw in the way it was partitioned.<br/><br/>You don't even need to say N to the "Enable Large disk support for drives >2GB?" prompt. as long as you make your drives <2GB you can use them with DOS, it doesn't matter what OS you create the partitions with or what your format them with- you can use FDISK, you can use Windows XP's Disk management with the drive attached in an enclosure; you could use gparted, if you wanted to. as long as the drive < 2GB DOS can format it. (not counting SCSI drives)<br/><br/>Actually, there is a single exception- some older NT OS's can format FAT drives up to 4GB using 64K clusters. these have problems being used in Any other OS, including DOS, Windows 95, 98, and ME. this "feature" was removed starting with Windows 2000.<br/><br/><br/><br/>BC is ignoring the 1024 issue. Just because it has not bit you yet does not mean it will never bite. <em>We are talking about using older versions of DOS that do not have the 1024 thing fixed.</em> Or the BIOS does not get the needed support for DOS. <br/><br/>Maybe BC was born after that period of PC history.The context here is about old PCs and old Operating systems. There was a transition period where the OS and the BIOS did not fully understand each other when large hard drives with more that 1024 cylinders became popular. In some cases the only effective remedy was to pin the dive so that it had a much smaller capacity.<br/><br/>And at one time this problem was also in Linux, so it is not all a Microsoft thing.<br/><br/><em>These comments do not apply to newer PCs and newer OS.</em><br/> Quote<blockquote>BC is ignoring the 1024 issue. Just because it has not bit you yet does not mean it will never bite. We are talking about using older versions of DOS that do not have the 1024 thing fixed. Or the BIOS does not get the needed support for DOS. <br/></blockquote> <br/>No I'm not. I actually saw the OP's OS selection:<br/> Quote<blockquote>installed dos 6.22<br/></blockquote> <br/><br/>Additionally, the "1024 issue" was purely an issue relating to the BIOS, or more precisely, INT 13H. And, even more relevant, is it simply prevented you from using the full size of the drive.<br/><br/>It didn't stop you from using disk <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/space-239477" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about SPACE">SPACE</a> within the first 8.5GB, regardless of who allocated it. If you create a 2GB partition and a 78GB partition on one disk, you can safely install DOS on the 2GB partition and windows 2000 or XP or whatever on the 78GB partition, and freely boot between them. You will be able to access the 2GB partition from the windows installation but you will not be able to access the Windows partition from the DOS install.<br/><br/>Also, we don't have to worry about the 1024 cylinder limit at all to begin with, since the BIOS of the compaq presario 433 is limited to 220MB and will only use the first 220MB of any disk you install anyway.<br/><br/></body></html> | |

Apologies to the OP.<br/><br/><br/>In my opinion, <em>basename.ext</em> is a filename, despite what the FOR help says. <br/><br/> Quote<blockquote>The exact definition, giving the criteria for deciding what part of the file name is its extension, belongs to the rules of the specific filesystem used; usually the extension is the substring which follows the last occurrence, if any, of the dot character. </blockquote> <br/><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filename_extension">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filename_extension</a><br/><br/> Quote<blockquote>Many operating systems, including MS-DOS, <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/microsoft-12847" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about MICROSOFT">MICROSOFT</a> Windows, and VMS systems, allow a filename extension that consists of one or more characters following the last period in the filename, thus dividing the filename into two parts: the basename (the <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/primary-1165403" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about PRIMARY">PRIMARY</a> filename) and the extension (usually indicating the file type associated with a certain file format). On these systems the extension is considered part of the filename, and on systems which allow (for example) an eight character basename followed by a three character extension, a filename with an extension of "" or " " (nothing, or three spaces) will still be 11 characters long (since the "." is supplied, but not considered as part of the name, by the OS). On Unix-like systems, files will often have an extension (for example prog.c, denoting the C-language source code of a program called "prog"); but since the extension is not considered a separate part of the filename, a file on a Unix system which allows 14-character filenames, and with a filename which uses "." as an "extension separator" or "delimiter", could possibly have a filename such as a.longxtension</blockquote> <br/><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filename">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filename</a><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>How do we split hairs?
