I need a batch file which will search folders in this path
D:\users\alenkat\Users\Documents
D:\users\majag\Users\Documents
D:\users\toniz\Users\Documents
D:\users\juref\Users\Documents
D:\users\jakau\Users\Documents
D:\users\janezf\Users\Documents
D:\users\mihar\Users\Documents

and if there is no file
24.10.2014--datet.txt

it will send me an email with paths where that file doesn't EXIST

for sexample, here batch didn't find file 24.10.2014--datet.txt
D:\users\jakau\Users\Documents
D:\users\janezf\Users\Documents
D:\users\mihar\Users\Documents
and will send email with this in it

I list here just a fev folders I have it alot more
file 24.10.2014--datet.txt is changing every day so it should search for *.datet.txt







Batch has no native way to send email. You will EITHER have to use a third party utility to send the email or use vbscript.try this untested code:
Code: [Select]echo off
set "email="

if not exist D:\users\alenkat\Users\Documents\*datet.txt echo D:\users\alenkat\Users\Documents >>tmp.txt
if not exist D:\users\majag\Users\Documents\*datet.txt echo D:\users\majag\Users\Documents >>tmp.txt
if not exist D:\users\toniz\Users\Documents\*datet.txt echo D:\users\toniz\Users\Documents >>tmp.txt
if not exist D:\users\juref\Users\Documents\*datet.txt echo D:\users\juref\Users\Documents >>tmp.txt
if not exist D:\users\jakau\Users\Documents\*datet.txt echo D:\users\jakau\Users\Documents >>tmp.txt
if not exist D:\users\janezf\Users\Documents\*datet.txt echo D:\users\janezf\Users\Documents >>tmp.txt
if not exist D:\users\mihar\Users\Documents\*datet.txt echo D:\users\mihar\Users\Documents >>tmp.txt

:: Since batch does not support email, you will have to DOWNLOAD a 3rd party app to do it.

I'm new to these batch thing and I badly need your help. There are 4 to 5 projected IMAGES in one DAY. Let's say I have all the projected images for 3 days. For day 1, the file name are:

T2010232034000.L2.Tera.tif
T2010232035000.L2.Tera.tif
T2010232036000.L2.Tera.tif
T2010232037000.L2.Tera.tif

For day 2, the file name are:

T2010233045000.L2.Tera.tif
T2010233046000.L2.Tera.tif
T2010233047000.L2.Tera.tif
T2010233048000.L2.Tera.tif
T2010233049000.L2.Tera.tif

For day 3, the file name are:

T2010234050000.L2.Tera.tif
T2010234051000.L2.Tera.tif
T2010234052000.L2.Tera.tif
T2010234053000.L2.Tera.tif
T2010234054000.L2.Tera.tif

How will I MERGE all the images that are for day 1, for day 2 and for day 3 and save each merged images to a new directory LEAVING only the T/datayear/juliandate as the filename for each day. Merging files is easy but doing it in batch and merging based on the images per day is making me crazy.

Note: T2010232034000 = Terra/Data Year/Julian Date/HH/MM/SS

Here is the script I used in merging the files:

gdal_merge.py -n 0 -a_nodata -32767 -of GTiff -o output_directory input_directory_in1.tif input_directory_in2.tif input_directory_in3.tif input_directory_in4.tif/input_directory_in5.tif

I have one updating software which updates 5 programs.
But problem is because it stays opened when it is finished, I can close it with button close or with alt+F4.
If I use taskkill than it will close this updating software befor it finish updating but now alt+F4 I can press it before it finished updating and it will continue updating and when it is finished than it will accept alt+F4.
So how to use in batch file alt+F4?

I TRIED this vbs script but it does the same like taskkill it stops updating.

Code: [Select]Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

' Start Notepad.exe
WshShell.Run "%windir%\notepad.exe"

' Select, or bring Focus to a window named `Notepad`
WshShell.AppActivate "Notepad"

' Wait for 4 seconds
WScript.Sleep 4000

WshShell.SendKeys "Foo"
WshShell.SendKeys "{ENTER}"
WshShell.SendKeys "BAR"
WshShell.SendKeys "{ENTER}"
WshShell.SendKeys "{CAPSLOCK}"
WshShell.SendKeys "baz"
WshShell.SendKeys "%{F4}"Sorry forget about this, it close updating software anyway when I press alt+F4 buttons.

Only if it is possible to use closing taskkill when button CLOSE appear?

Or if it is possible to close when it is Zero on CPE for about 10 seconds?

I tried this and not working, it close application no mather if CPU is 3%

Code: [Select]echo off

set "process_name=notepad.exe"

::remoce .exe SUFFIX if there is
set pn=%process_name:.exe=%

setlocal enableDelayedExpansion

set c=0
:: getting three snapshots of CPU usage of the given process
for /f skip^=2^ tokens^=3^ delims^=^" %%p in ('typeperf "\Process(%pn%)\%% Processor Time"  -sc 3') do (
    set /a counter=counter+1
    for /f "tokens=1,2 delims=." %%a in ("%%p") do set  "process_snapshot_!counter!=%%a%%b"

)

:: remove rem to see the cpu usage from the three snapshots
rem set process_snapshot_

:: if all three snapshots are less than 0000010 process will be killed
if 1%process_snapshot_1% LSS 10000010 if 1%process_snapshot_2% LSS 10000010 if 1%process_snapshot_3% LSS 10000010 (

I have one updating software which updates 5 programs.
But problem is because it stays opened when it is finished

no, it is a update.exe file when I run it, it opens a window and update programs one by another at the end when It finishes it shows up button CLOSE. I run it over task scheduler and problem is because if that program is opened I can not run it again to update until I press CLOSE button on it.

Hi All,

I have one folder with a lot of files, all them use same structure NAME example (bird_happy_1234.txt, bird_happy_1235.txt,bird_happy_1236.txt) only _1234 change.
I need to rename only the first one and them move this file to another folder.
The new name its the same EVERY time because this i want to move to another folder after i rename.
After a renamed the file i know its not a problem to move because the file have same name every time.

Best regards,
                  DiogoI have this solution right now its work.

Code: [Select]for /F %%i in ('dir /b/a-d/od/t:c') do set LAST=%%i
move /-y "C:\Users\Diogo\Desktop\Tests_Batch\%LAST%" "C:\Users\Diogo\Desktop\Tests_Batch\Processed"
copy /-y "C:\Users\Diogo\Desktop\Tests_Batch\Processed\%LAST%"  "C:\Users\Diogo\Desktop\Tests_Batch\Importing"
del C:\Users\Diogo\Desktop\Tests_Batch\Importing\imp_t.txt
rename C:\Users\Diogo\Desktop\Tests_Batch\Importing\%LAST% imp_t.txt
call "C:\Users\Diogo\Desktop\Tests_Batch\Test.bat"

But i have one issue, when my folder its empty from .txt files the code copy the .bat file.Try this:

Code: [Select]for /f %%i in ('dir /b/a-d/od/t:c') do set LAST=%%i
if not "%LAST%"=="%~nx0" (
move /-y "C:\Users\Diogo\Desktop\Tests_Batch\%LAST%" "C:\Users\Diogo\Desktop\Tests_Batch\Processed"
copy /-y "C:\Users\Diogo\Desktop\Tests_Batch\Processed\%LAST%"  "C:\Users\Diogo\Desktop\Tests_Batch\Importing"
del C:\Users\Diogo\Desktop\Tests_Batch\Importing\imp_t.txt
rename C:\Users\Diogo\Desktop\Tests_Batch\Importing\%LAST% imp_t.txt
call "C:\Users\Diogo\Desktop\Tests_Batch\Test.bat"
)
If it doesn't work, add 'echo %LAST%' to the END and post what it says.  %~0 will need to be formatted the same way for the EXCLUSION to work.Hi, your code help me change the old one, i used one more folder and when this folder empty i used if not.
Thx very much!

final code:
Code: [Select]for /f %%i in ('dir C:\Users\Diogo\Desktop\Tests_Batch\Incoming\*.txt /b/a-d/od/t:c') do set LAST=%%i
if not "%LAST%"=="" (
move /-y "C:\Users\Diogo\Desktop\Tests_Batch\Incoming\%LAST%" "C:\Users\Diogo\Desktop\Tests_Batch\Processed"
copy /-y "C:\Users\Diogo\Desktop\Tests_Batch\Processed\%LAST%"  "C:\Users\Diogo\Desktop\Tests_Batch\Importing"
del C:\Users\Diogo\Desktop\Tests_Batch\Importing\imp_t.txt
rename C:\Users\Diogo\Desktop\Tests_Batch\Importing\%LAST% imp_t.txt
)

[attachment DELETED by admin to conserve space]From Our Archives...

Hi i am totally new to the Batch file concept.

I have created a batch file which zip the sever logs month wise and then delete those logs. But when i delete that zip file, my batch file will send a mail on my ID.

So if any changes needed to be done please do suggest.

Thank you.

This is my code:-



echo off

rem Findout Month, Year and DATE
FOR /F "tokens=1,2,3,4 delims=/ " %%A in ('Date /t') do set year=%%D
FOR /F "tokens=1,2,3,4 delims=/ " %%A in ('Date /t') do set month=%%B
FOR /F "tokens=1,2,3,4 delims=/ " %%A in ('Date /t') do set day=%%C

rem Solve problem Year start and adding 0 in month
if %month% EQU 01 (
   set month=12
   set /a year=%year%-1
) else (
   set /a month=%month%-1
)
if %month% LSS 10 set month=0%month%

rem Set file names for last month file.
set lastmonthfiles=server.log.%year%-%month%-

rem To compress the file.
:compress
"C:\Program Files\7-Zip\7z.exe" a -y "bkp-%lastmonthfiles%.zip" %lastmonthfiles%*
ping -n 15 192.168.100.44 > nul
if Not exist bkp-%lastmonthfiles%.zip (
   echo zipping failed
   pause
   CALL mail2.bat
   )
else 
(
 DEL %lastmonthfiles%*
)

This is the code for mail2.bat file. I have used bmail into it.

bmail -s karina -t [email protected] -f [email protected] -h -a backupPlease do not post the same question more than once. I deleted the duplicates.I think that this should handle the date issue in a region insensitive way: not tested

Code: [Select]echo off
for /f "tokens=2 delims==" %%a in ('wmic OS Get localdatetime /value') do set "dt=%%a"
set "YYYY=%dt:~0,4%" & set "MM=%dt:~4,2%" & set "DD=%dt:~6,2%"

if "%MM%"=="01" (set /a YYYY=YYYY-1 & set "MM=12") else (set /a MM=1%MM% - 1)

set lastmonthfiles=server.log.%YYYY%-%MM:~-2%-
actually Allan the SCRIPT you deleted was the different. I asked about how to send mail from my batch file if zipping fails. And into new script i did mentioned that the file which i have created is sending the mails if zipping get fails. But still thanks

I have 11 plain text files which I want to open up in Excel.  Each file has a different record type and different record length with the following attributes:

fixed column length
no blank lines in the files
no delimiters
trailing spaces in some or all of the files

When I open up the files in Excel, I have to go through the tedious task of using the wizard to define the columns.  Would be nice to be able to convert the files into comma quoted ahead of time, that way Excel opens up with each column already defined.  Column headers are not necessary.

I am writing a batch to put double quotes, comma, and more double quotes in-between each of the columns, with one double quotes at the beginning and one double quotes at the end.  I have tested successfully with 7 columns so far.  I wanted to get your thoughts before continuing with the syntax for the rest of the columns.

Is there a limit to the number of bytes that can be included in one command/statement?  The file I have with the most number of columns to define is 50.  This is going to make the syntax extremely long.

Example input records from one file:
Code: [Select]AB012345AC    201399Long name                     55555198900006589673101N008500000008200979999999999900015294260999999999999999         
AB012345ABC   201399Another long name             11111194500000012023203N000313200001840909999999999900000260524999999999999999         
AB012345ABCD  201399three times                   33333199600003609819104N004265000008000979999999999900005823119999999999999999         

I want the output to be like this, for example:
Code: [Select]"AB","012345","AC    ","2013","99","Long name                     ","55555","1989","0000658967","31","01","N","00850000","00082","0097","999999","99999","0001529426","0","999999999999999","          "
"AB","012345","ABC   ","2013","99","Another long name             ","11111","1945","0000001202","32","03","N","00031320","00018","4090","999999","99999","0000026052","4","999999999999999","          "
"AB","012345","ABCD  ","2013","99","three times                   ","33333","1996","0000360981","91","04","N","00426500","00080","0097","999999","99999","0000582311","9","999999999999999","          "

Here is the batch code:
Code: [Select]echo off
setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
cd/d c:\download
if ErrorLevel 1 (
cls
echo ---------------------------------------------
rem
echo ERROR  ERROR  ERROR
echo Folder "c:\download" not found
echo Press a key to close this window and stop the program.
rem
echo ---------------------------------------------
pause
goto FINISH
)

if exist test1.csv del test1.csv
set single_quote="
set quotes=","
for /f "delims=" %%A in (myfile1.TXT) do (
set partial=%%A
set newstring=%single_quote%!partial:~0,2!%quotes%!partial:~2,6!%quotes%!partial:~8,6!%quotes%!partial:~14,4!%quotes%!partial:~18,2!%quotes%!partial:~20,30!%quotes%!partial:~50,5!%single_quote%
echo !newstring!>> test1.csv
)
start "" test1.csv

:FINISH
exit

Note:  in the code I have defined only 7 columns so far, as stated above, whereas in the example input records I have listed the entire line of one of the input files.
Thanks in advance.Yes there is a character limit for the SET command.  I can't recall what it is.  I bet if you programmed up a SIMPLE FOR /L loop you could find out what it was. Thanks for your reply.  I'm racking my brain trying to figure out how the /L parameter will result in a long line of syntax for a command.  Can you please provide an example?This should hit the number.

Code: [Select]echo off
setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
for /l %%A in (1,1,1000000000000000000) do (
set last=!a!
set a=!a!0
if "!last!"=="!a!" echo %%A
if "!last!"=="!a!" pause
)

EDIT: Warning it will take a LONG time.It's been running for 3.5 hours with nothing on the screen but the blinking cursor.  I am leaving work now, so I am pressing Ctrl+C.  I am not concerned about the output being too long; just the amount of characters it takes to make up/create a set command or any other command, like so:

Code: [Select]set newstring=%single_quote%!partial:~0,2!%quotes%!partial:~2,6!%quotes%!partial:~8,6!%quotes%!partial:~14,4!%quotes%!partial:~18,2!%quotes%!partial:~20,30!%quotes%!partial:~50,5!%quotes%!partial:~20,30!%quotes%!partial:~20,30!%quotes%!partial:~20,30!%quotes%!partial:~20,30!%quotes%!partial:~20,30!%quotes%!partial:~20,30!%quotes%!partial:~20,30!%quotes%!partial:~20,30!%quotes%!partial:~20,30!%quotes%!partial:~20,30!%quotes%!partial:~20,30!%quotes%!partial:~20,30!%quotes%!partial:~20,30!%quotes%!partial:~20,30!%quotes%!partial:~20,30!%quotes%!partial:~20,30!%quotes%!partial:~20,30!%quotes%!partial:~20,30!%quotes%!partial:~20,30!%quotes%!partial:~20,30!%quotes%!partial:~20,30!%quotes%!partial:~20,30!%quotes%!partial:~20,30!%quotes%!partial:~20,30!%quotes%!partial:~20,30!%quotes%!partial:~20,30!%quotes%!partial:~20,30!%quotes%!partial:~20,30!%quotes%!partial:~20,30!%quotes%!partial:~20,30!%quotes%!partial:~20,30!%quotes%!partial:~20,30!%quotes%!partial:~20,30!%quotes%!partial:~20,30!%quotes%!partial:~20,30!%quotes%!partial:~20,30!%quotes%!partial:~20,30!%quotes%!partial:~20,30!%quotes%!partial:~20,30!%quotes%!partial:~20,30!%quotes%!partial:~20,30!%quotes%!partial:~20,30!%quotes%!partial:~20,30!%single_quote%

I will try the full code tomorrow.Well the FOR /L didn't need to be set to that high.  8,193 would have sufficed. Pardon me.  Did I miss something?

fixed column length

Hey foxidrive - new site for me

I don't understand why you made your code so complicated.
You can use up to 99 captured sub-matches. This problem only requires 21.

It is probably easier / more reliable to let code build the search and replace strings. Because this solution is passing the strings as variables, I am able to embed the quotes directly instead of using \q with the /X option.
Code: [Select]echo off
setlocal enableDelayedExpansion
set "search=^"
set "replace="
set /a n=0
for %%N in (2 6 6 4 2 30 5 4 10 2 2 1 8 5 4 6 5 10 1 15 10) do (
  set /a n+=1
  set "search=!search!(.{%%N})"
  set "replace=!replace!"$!n!","
)
set "replace=!replace:~0,-1!"
call jrepl search replace /v /f test.txt /o test1.csv

Welcome Aboard dbenham ! !

I wrote a batch file to create INTERNET Explorer favourites and it successful.

Apart from it i want to enable Favourites toolbar (View->Toolbars->Enable Favourites bar)

Am targetting IE 8 and can U pls tell me how to access the IE properties by DOS commands.

Thanks

I was able to project all the level 2 hdf files and saved the projected files to the new(CREATED) directory using this script:

set in_path=in_path
set out_path=out_path

md %out_path%
cd /d %in_path%

FORFILES /m *L2_LAC*.hdf /C "cmd /c gdalwarp -geoloc -t_srs EPSG:4326 -te 113.205 1.120 157.105 2.005 HDF4_SDS:hdf:file:01 %out_path%\fname.tif"*

But there is one last thing that I need to MAKE this goal complete:

How am I going to AUTOMATICALLY detect all the newest projected images that were added to the directory from time to time and then project it immediately?Because everyday I am DOWNLOADING hdf files and then if there are new files I'll project it from time to time which is a WASTE of time. That's why I need it in batch process and automatic. How will I complete this project using the script below?

for /f "tokens=1,2,5" %a in ('dir /-b /o-d /tc') do if %a==%date:~4% (if %b==%time:~0,5% (echo %c)

Hi ,

I need a batch code which performs the FOLLOWING:

I have a folder with CERTAIN xml files. i need to search and  COPY this folder along with the xml files outside another specified folder path.
For eg:
If my folder NAME  =FOLDER,
its location=C:\FOLDER =Input1
Input2=D:\abc\def
I need to copy "FOLDER" and its contents to  "D:\abc" that is outside the "def" folder

PLS HELP ... THANKS IN ADVANCE... Any Batch experts,Pls reply if the above scenario is possible or not The question is unclear to me.

I have my laptops marked with HP at the end so I need a BATCH which will check computername like JOHN01-HP
and if it finds HP in the computer name it will make a file like laptop.txt, I will use that file for some backups.
and that file will be stored at user folder Documents
I have many users so I can't do this for just one.

Thank you.Just looking at some of your PREVIOUS threads, you should have the knowledge to do this already.
You basically have two options.
1) Use the SET command to read the last two characters of the computer name. Then use an IF command to see if the last two characters are equal to HP.
2) Use the FOR /F command and the hyphen as a delimiter to split the computer name into two tokens.  Then use an IF command to see if the 2nd token is equal to HP.Ok I will try, to see if it will works.OK I did it
Code: [Select]echo.>>%computername%.txt  Quote from: Blisk on October 29, 2014, 07:17:54 AM

OK I did it
Code: [Select]echo.>>%computername%.txt 

This batch makes file with computername like mike10-HP.txt
and second batch search for file with *-HP.txt if batch found that file than it makes backup, if not, than doesn't.

Ugh! I guess you didn't bother to even research my ideas or even look at all your old threads to accomplish this task.

No it is not that way, I have alot of work to do, so I don't have time now to sarch and learn how to do it so I found quickest way which worked.

unofrtunally everyone can't be fisherman, so thats why you have fish I have bread, you give me a fish I give you a bread!
The basics I know but in reality what I do with fev lines or 2 batch files you can do with one line, because you have experiences.
My work field is windows system and desktop, I use batch files just to make my job easier and I am not a programmer.

Hey all, Rettsu here.

I'm working on a LITTLE project of mine that I want to try on my computer, I want to make a batch file that COUNTS up +1 every time I BOOT up my computer, so after a while I can see how many my computer has been started. But after a few searches on google I couldn't find it at all.
Can someone help me with this ? Put this batch file in your startup group:

Code: [Select]echo a>>"%userprofile%\desktop\counter.log"
And use this batch file to give you the current COUNT.

Code: [Select]echo off
find /c "a" <"%userprofile%\desktop\counter.log"
pause
Thanks, it worked!

Is it possible to actually put the Counter in a certain map on the desktop? I tried to change the location but it would give me a "Batch" file on my desktop.

"EDIT"
Nevermind, I found how to do it. I just changed the folders name

hello all

I don't know where to begin with this... I'd like to have a BATCH asking the user to input data (text), then this data would LATER be used as a parameter for a java file...

Here's my thoughts:
Code: [Select]echo off
path=d:\AUXID\
echo input the CipherValue
echo.
pause
set input=
set /p input=%1
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre8\bin\java.exe" -jar SeedDecrypt.jar Ciphervalue %1 hex-key 1FF7738D8A8C5040DC68B9CB4E8DE2A2 >>d:\AUXID\SeedDecrypt.txt
echo see file d:\AUXID\SeedDecrypt.txt for infos.
echo.
pause
exit

Meaning you would start the batch file from the command prompt like this.
Code: [Select]C:\mybatchfile.bat sometext
If you want to ask for input you are partially doing it correctly by USING the SET /P but you never use the INPUT variable in your JAVA command.
Code: [Select]Set /P input=input the CipherValue:

Code: [Select]echo off
path=d:\AUXID\

Additionally, the path variable is a system variable and shouldn't be used as a general purpose variable name,
and when you are adding a folder to the path then you can use something like this Code: [Select]set "path=%path%;c:\new\folder"

Hello guys. I need help with writing a script file. I have over 500000 mp3 files im downloading from my google CLOUD account cause my HD crashed and DIED. All the files are being downloaded to the root of my N: drive. All the files are without folders and have metadata to show album name and artist name. within windows i have "album and artist" show under view attributes. I want to write a script that would create a folder based on the artist name, then move those files based on artist name into said folder e.g  Coldplay -XY move to coldplay folder. please can anyone help me?Can't do it with BATCH natively. You will need a command line program that can read the ID3 tags. Once you have that someone can probably write you a script.  But until they know what program that can do it, you are out of luck.This TOOL can help you I THINK:  From the doc:

Mp3 Tag Tools v1.2(C) 2003 John George K. is GNU GPL free software, intutive ID3v1.1 and ID3v2.x mp3 tag editing utility, with several features such as...

Dear All,

May I know how to write the SCRIPT ?   Kindly to advice

Thank you very much


http://www.robvanderwoude.com/redirection.php.xls is not a file that batch can redirect into.Thank you for all

I have 100 PC to do ping test. May I know how to write the script to capture the result if error or success It depends on how you define error and success.  The ping command can throw multiple different outputs, not just yes or no.  To start, I would look at for /f to loop through a text file that contains all your ip addresses.  After that you simply ping each in turn and have a big if tree to show success or failure, redirecting the output into a file.

I have 100 PC to do ping test. May I know how to write the script to capture the result if error or success

Hello Folks,

Have a small problem that I'm hoping I could get some assistance with.  I currently have a batch file (if memory serves, it seems I originally obtained the idea from this site) that takes the date and adds it to an archive file that's created on a daily basis.  This works fine when the regional short date format in Windows is setup for M/d/yyyy.  However, we have another location which is using the short date format of dd-MMM-yy in which case the same batch file will not work.  I've tried adjusting the date variables in the existing batch file, but I'm not getting anywhere. 

Is it possible someone might be able to tell me which settings I need to adjust to accommodate the other date format of dd-MMM-yy so the batch file could do it's thing?

Existing file:
Code: [Select]echo off
:: setting MM to equal the current numeric month
set MM=%date:~4,2%

:: putting all the possible months into a variable which will be parsed in the for loop
set month_text="01 JAN" "02 FEB" "03 MAR" "04 APR" "05 MAY" "06 JUN" "07 JUL" "08 AUG" "09 SEP" "10 OCT" "11 NOV" "12 DEC"

:: for loop is parsing the month_text variable and using the find command with the numeric month to set the month variable
for %%I in (%month_text%) do echo %%I |find "%MM%" &&set MM=%%~I
:: Need to remove the NUMBER and space
echo Date: %date%
echo Today: %date:~7,2% %MM:~3% %date:~10,4%
SET Month=%DATE:~4,2%
if %Month%==01 set Month=JAN
if %Month%==02 set Month=FEB

if %Month%==11 set Month=NOV
if %Month%==12 set Month=DEC
echo %Month%
For /F "tokens=2,3,4 delims=/ " %%A in ('Date /t') do (

Set Month=%%B
Set Year=%%C

)
 
ECHO Compressing Daily Inventory/Receiving Files and Powering Off
ECHO off
7z a -t7z "Warehouse 7C - %ALL%.7z" -x!*.7z -mx9 -mmt

In all file names, I wish for the date to appear as DD MMM YYYY [ie: 02 NOV 2014]

Thanks so much,

KenThis should work on XP Pro and above.
Code: [Select]ECHO off
:: GET DATE and TIME

set "DD=%dt:~6,2%"
set "HH=%dt:~8,2%"
set "Min=%dt:~10,2%"
set "Sec=%dt:~12,2%"Goodness, what a speedy and helpful reply.  That works marvelous.  It's also nice to have the time variables as well for future reference.

Tested as follows (to, hopefully, display the abbreviated month in uppercase):

Code: [Select]ECHO off

SET Month=%DATE:~3,3%
if %Month%==01 set Month=JAN
if %Month%==02 set Month=FEB
if %Month%==03 set Month=MAR
if %Month%==04 set Month=APR
if %Month%==05 set Month=MAY
if %Month%==06 set Month=JUN
if %Month%==07 set Month=JUL
if %Month%==08 set Month=AUG
if %Month%==09 set Month=SEP
if %Month%==10 set Month=OCT
if %Month%==11 set Month=NOV
if %Month%==12 set Month=DEC

:: GET DATE and TIME
for /f "tokens=2 delims==" %%a in ('wmic OS Get localdatetime /value') do set "dt=%%a"
set "YYYY=%dt:~0,4%"
set "MM=%dt:~4,2%"
set "DD=%dt:~6,2%"
set "HH=%dt:~8,2%"
set "Min=%dt:~10,2%"
set "Sec=%dt:~12,2%"

echo DD-MMM-YYYY: %DD% %Month% %YYYY%
pause

The only downside I can find is when the regional date format is set for M/d/yyyy, the month is displayed ENTIRELY in uppercase as I wish.  However, if the date format is set for dd-MMM-yy, only the first character is in uppercase.  Any way of getting the entire month to be uppercase? 

Thank you so much.

Was not the point of your question that you wanted one way to get the date in a consistent format so that you could use your SET commands to set the Month Abbreviation in upper case?  Why are you still using the DATE command?

Code: [Select]
SET Month=%DATE:~3,3%

I'm having a hard time capturing the data using a vb script b/c of these characters i noticed in notepad++. This is causing my data to not line up correctly and causing me to capture incorrect data for my sub strings.

Is there a way i can remove them beforehand in vbs or batch and have my data line up correctly?

some of the characters look like so....
‘
ð
NUL (in black a background)
SI  (in black a background)



[attachment deleted by admin to conserve space]Have you used a hex viewer before?

They allow you to see the exact pairs of hex digits and determine which characters are causing you a problem.
I seen Hex Viewers but never actually used one.Do you have any recommendation on one?On old versions of MS-DOS there was a file called DEBUG that would show the contents of a file in HEX format. But I don't think it is a 32 BIT program. So you will WANT to find an editor the is compliant with new versions of Windows.

Hey, i have CREATED a batch file which copy the data of one folder into another. But after copying i want to give the particular date as a folder name. I am not able to. Please give your suggestions.

This is my code.

echo off

set /P source=Enter source folder:

set /P destination=Enter Destination folder:

set listfile=xcopy /L

set xcopy=xcopy /S/E/V/Q/F/H

echo files will be copy press enter to proceed

pause

%xcopy% %source% %destination% %date%

pauseMultipost: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/27012028/create-a-batch-file-with-date-as-folder-name

Does it MATTER to anyone that PEOPLE multipost their questions?



i wanted my ans. this the reason why i have POSTED over here also. sorryThe DATE /T command and the %DATE% variable all output with slashes.  So you will need to USE a FOR /F command to strip out the day of the week and the slashes depending on what your DATE format is.

You would then use the MD command to create a new directory for the destination.

The script indicated in here will merge files from the in_path and now will SUCCESSFULLY move the merged files only to ANOTHER directory which is the proc_path. The goal now is to merge the files based on the date of the last PROCESSED files and so on. So that whenever the system is down and you weren't able to process the files let's say for one week, it will just check for the last date where it stop and process it and then process the next date and so on. But how can I do that? Any idea?

Thank you!

Not sure why you are posting this here when you already got the original code from DosTips.com.  The helpers over there already know what the code does and can probably do a better job of helping you with any changes you need.

I have a vast collection of fonts, sorted in different ways depending on where I downloaded them.  Many of them are sorted into foundries or families, with a sublevel for designer. Thus:
Presence Typo/Alinea Sans/Puyfoulhoux, Thierry/AlineaSans.ttf   

This is not an ideal STRUCTURE for me, (for one thing, I'd put the designer before the font family name) but the immediate problem is that for many of them, the sorting program that did this could not identify the designer, so the vast majority of them are in a folder structure that goes:

2 the Left/Leftovers/_unknown/Leftovers.ttf
4YEO/4YEOSports/_unknown/4YEOSports.ttf

This just creates an unnecessary level (and often leads to a structure where the file name is too long).  There are literally thousands of foundries and designers (and hundreds of thousands of fonts). What I would like, if possible, is a batch file or visual basic script that would allow me to move all the files that in are a folder called "_unknown" up one level to the parent directory (which should be the family name), and then delete the folder called "_unknown". The number of directory levels may vary, and if they're in a folder that actually is a designer name, I don't want to move them.  Is this possible?
Need some clarification of the task here:

Will every folder called \_unknown have no folders inside it, and only *.ttf files inside it
that need to be moved up one folder level, and then the\_unknown folder deleted?


Every folder called unknown will have no folders inside it, but it may have .otf, or .pfb, .pfm, or .afm files.  It is possible there may be some sort of .txt (.DOC, .wri) file, but unlikely.  I haven't specifically checked for that.  If there is one, perhaps there is a solution that would only delete the folder if it were empty??Ohhh kay!

In every folder called \_unknown, do you only want the *.ttf files inside it
to be moved up one folder level, and then the\_unknown folder deleted if it is empty?

If there are folders called \_unknown that you do not want processed, then how do we tell if it is to be processed, or not?Thanks for your help.  Ideally, I want every folder called \_unknown to be processed, ALL the files in it moved up one level, and the \_unknown folder deleted.Yeah. I have written this batch file before. Just can't remember what forum I posted it in.This is untested:

This is supposed to process the folders called "_unknown" and move all files up one folder and remove the "\_unknown" folder.

It is designed to process the folders below the current folder - so test it WELL in a test folder with copies of your data.

If there are HUGE numbers of folders and long PATHS that match, then it could take a long time to begin. 
If so then there is a different way to approach this.

Code: [Select]echo off
for /f "delims=" %%a in (' dir /b /s /ad "_unknown" ^|find /i "\_unknown" ') do (
    echo processing "%%a"
    pushd "%%a" &&(move * .. & popd)
    rd "%%a" 2>nul
)
pause
Thank you very much.  That did the trick!

Here's my situation, trying to write a batch file that will show me the bit VERSION of Office installed, not the OS necessarily, and choose the bit version of Lync to install.  Any Ideas?  Thanks in advance.All 32bit programs installed on a 64 bit Windows OS will be in the Program Files(x86) folder. 
64 bit programs will just be in the Program Files folder on a 64 bit version of Windows.Only Office 2010 (Office 14.0) and Office 2013 have shipped in 32 and 64 bit versions.

Suggestion:

If HKLM\Software\WOW6432Node exists then Windows is 64-bit.
If HKLM\Software\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Office exists, then Office is 32-bit.
If HKLM\Software\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Office does not exist, but HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Office does exist, then Office is 64-bit.
If HKLM\Software\WOW6432Node does not exist, then Windows and Office are 32-bit.

Use req query and errorlevel test to establish OS and Office bitness.
This doesn't seem to be working correctly because I have both of the below entries on more than one machine I am running this on.

If HKLM\Software\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Office exists, then Office is 32-bit.
If HKLM\Software\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Office does not exist, but HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Office does exist, then Office is 64-bit.Check this out

Good article, but it still is not the same on every machine as listed in the article.  I'm not sure if there is a common way to tell on a Windows 7 Pro box if it has a x86 or x64 Office install.Surely if you first check the bitness of the OS (if it's 32 bit you now know you have a 32 bit Office install) and if it's 64 bit then look in %PROGRAMFILES% (64 bit) or %ProgramFiles(x86)% (32 bit) for the Office folder (Office, Office10, Office11, Office12, Office14 or Office15) or else find the path of some common Office executable file such as Winword.exe or Excel.exe, you have your answer? Or am I missing something here? if this is some corporate thing, surely you know what your machines have installed anyhow?

Hi again everyone,

After the help I was given PREVIOUSLY I was attempting to write a new batch script to do pretty much what the one that was written for me does, but with different programs being run and a little different setup...Long story short, the "little" difference was enough to stump me again--so I need some help.

Here is what I have. When run, this produces 2 files for each file:

Code: [Select]dir /s /b /A-D DIR_1\ &GT; list.txt
for /r DIR_1 %%a in (*.*) do (dime -D CO=Q -L %%~dpa "%%a" "%%a.q")
for /r DIR_1 %%a in (*.*) do (make -D CO=X -L %%~dpa "%%a" "%%a.x")
for /F "tokens=*" %%b in (list.txt) do del /Q "%%b"
The goal is to keep the smallest file of the two created. If the .q file is smaller, the script should delete the .x file, if the .x file is smaller, delete the .q file.

Any help would be great! I've learned a lot from you all so far, so I'm hoping to learn some more with this one and reduce the amount of help I have to ask you all for

Thanks.The q and x files could be the same size.  What should happen if that occurs? Quote from: foxidrive on December 09, 2014, 01:36:58 AM

Hi,
I am aware that this requirement has been answered in a number of different ways, but none of them seemed that elegant to me (by elegant read short & simple).
I would like to leave a ping running (ping -t) and have any response that is a not a reply be written to a text file along with the time and date.

It's the time and date thing that's got me stumped.

First bit working fine for me:

ping -t 195.40.1.36 | find /v "Reply from 195.40.1.36" >> pinglog.txt

Could anyone please let me know how to add the time and date to what gets written out.
Many thanks.Not too sure where you're going with that one. Doesn't seem to work for me.
I get the FAILED pings written out to a log file but they aren't timestamped.

I could use the following batch file. Works fine, but it doesn't record the reason for failure, just that it did fail and the time it happened (and there's probably a cleverer way to pause for 1 second.....)

The reason for failure would be really handy.

echo off
:loop
ping -n 1 %1 >nul || echo %date% %time% no reply from %1 >> pinglog.txt
choice /N /T 1 /D Y >nul
goto loop

Hi,

There are 30 CSV files in folder and i want to update all of them, the format of files are same.

Matching rows by comparing Col A, B, and C. If match(s) found, the duplicate rows to be deleted and their contents are appended to the original.

.csv file.

A|B|C|D|E|F|G|H|.........
x|y|z|1|2|3|4|5|
x|y|z|7|8|9|1|2|
o|p|q|9|6|3|2|1|

o|p|q|9|6|3|2|1|

Any ways.





That is not a csv file format. The 'c' is 'csv' stands for 'comma'. Your column separator is a pipe character '|'. So please clarify.

However...

1. Must it be done using batch? Can VBScript be used? If not, why not?
2. Can temp files be written somewhere?
3. Does each column contain just 1 character? If not, please supply more representative example data.

Well, im a pro on batch files but im creating in Advanced BAT to EXE Converter 2.92 a Setup. But the problem is that with a example of:

cd %userprofile%\Desktop
echo HELLO WORLD! &GT;> example.txt


How i MAKE a exe file with something like that? Please help!There is no true way to make a batch file into an EXE.  All the Bat to EXE converters do is create a wrapper around the batch file.  When the exe wrapper is executed it extracts the batch file to a temporary directory and executes the batch file.I used Batch to EXE before to wrap batches into EXE files when the batch files had credentials in them to escalate privileges, but other than that they are pretty worthless. Also being wrapped as an EXE doesnt mean that someone dedicated enough wouldnt figure out how to view the passwords etc.If the OP is an expert in batch, it should not be hard to use a general purpose language. Currently he favorite is C++ for most people.  One can make good EXE files with C++ that can make use of the Microsoft .NET library.

Pragmatically anything you do in batch can be done nicely in C++.I PRESUME this setup application is being written as a learning exercise because if you are writing a setup program for an application that you are planning on distributing, there are already tonnes of both free and commercial installers for Windows that you can use such as INSTALLSHIELD (commercial) or NSIS (open source).

Hello,
I have a file with lines of text such as:
"C:\PROGRAM Files\something\app.exe" int.ini

I have been able to extract each line and place the text of each line into a variable.
Now comes my problem. I would like to split the two 'words' of text "C:\Program Files\something\app.exe" and int.ini into SEPARATE variables.
I've looked on the internet and found solutions that don't work. an example is:

 for /f "tokens=1,2 delims=;" %%a in ("%name%") do (
   set first=%%a&set second=%%b
   echo %first% and %second%
 )
where %name% contains my string with a ';' delimiter INSTEAD of a space.
This doesn't seem to work.
COULD someone offer an alternative with a space for the delimiter that does work.
Thanking youOne of the issues is that there is no ; in the string you provided.  the other is that delayed expansion is not on, so the %first% and %second% will be processed before they are assigned a value. You may have to manually replace the separation with a (.  If you do this should work.

Code: [Select]setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
for /f "tokens=1,2 delims=;" %%a in ("%name%") do (
   set first=%%a
   set second=%%b
   echo !first! and !second!
)
You can't split on a space because your file path has spaces. So you need to use a double quote as your delimiter.
Code: [Select]echo off

for /f usebackq^ tokens^=1^,2^ delims^=^" %%a in ("file.txt") do (
set first=%%a
set second=%%b
)
echo %first%
echo %second%
pauseoutput
Code: [Select]C:\JFW\batch files\quote_delim>type file.txt
"C:\Program Files\something\app.exe" int.ini

C:\JFW\batch files\quote_delim>quote.bat
C:\Program Files\something\app.exe
 int.ini
Press any key to continue . . .Beat me to it by a matter of seconds 

You might want to strip leading spaces. One way is to use another FOR /F
Code: [Select]for /f usebackq^ tokens^=^ 1* %%A in ("file.txt") do for /f "tokens=*" %%C in ("%%B") do (
  set "first=%%A"
  set "second=%%B"
)
echo %first%
echo %second%

Thank you. I thought that script was using 2 spaces as the delimiter. Goes to show how well I understand batch scripting.
I'll use double quotes.

Thank you. I thought that script was using 2 spaces as the delimiter.
I'll use double quotes.

if you can control the delimiter and are using filename\paths then using a pipe character is a good choice as a delimiter. 

Hello guys.
I am NEW on this forum and new also new in learn about batch file.
Me question is about a code made it in c programming.
If i run this code allows me to shutdown the computer,but also i want to run this code in a batch file to shutdown the computer.
The path of this code is : C:\Users\mircea\Desktop\Shutdown My Computer\bin\Debug\Shutdown My Computer.exe.
I have tried many options but no result.

Look at this code in C :
Code: [Select]#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main()
{
    char ch;
    printf("\n Do you want to shutdown the computer (y/n) ?\n\n");
    printf("  ");
    scanf("%c", &ch);
    if(ch == 'y' || ch == 'Y')
        system("C:\\WINDOWS\\System32\\shutdown -s");
    return 0;
}

I wait some advices.
Thank you.
All the best.No clue why you are using a C program when you can do it all in batch.
But to run your executable from a batch file just PUT this in a batch file.
Code: [Select]"C:\Users\mircea\Desktop\Shutdown My Computer\bin\Debug\Shutdown My Computer.exe"I ALWAYS wonder why there are so many people who write batch code in C.why not just
shutdown /r /f

Hi,

I have over 1000 TEXT files.  The files are located in about 40 subdirectories, all within a single parent directory.  All files are in the same format (example file below).  I would LIKE to be able to extract data to a single output txt file as follows:

2014-02-26 21.51.53.000.TIF, -38.72672, 176.05866, 1413.2

Note the first output field is the input filename, but with the suffix changed to .tif. 

I am hoping SOMEONE can help me WRITE a batch file that would do this.  I have no experience writing batch files.

Regards,
Mark

I have a batch file that takes user input and places it in a variable. The problem is that sometimes the user may enter an "&" symbol which then causes the script to TRY to process the string after the & as a command.  I need the script to take the ampersand and place it variable string and then convert it to url encoding. For example:

User is prompted: What is your company NAME?
User inputs: You & Me
variable1= You & Me
variable2= You%26Me

Is this possible?

Code: [Select]echo off &setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
set /p "variable1=Enter Input:"

set "variable2=!variable1:&=%%26!"
echo %variable2%output
Code: [Select]C:\Batch\Ampersand>Ampersand.bat
Enter Input:You & Me
You %26 MeI see you posted an almost similar question in the Computer Programming category.  The code is basically the same as what Salmon Trout had posted for you for the spaces. Not sure why you didn't attempt to modify his code for the Ampersand replacement.To the OP, if it's URL encoded then the spaces also need encoding in your example.

Code: [Select]echo off &setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
set /p "variable1=Enter Input:"
set "variable2=!variable1:&=%%26!"
set "variable2=!variable2: =%%20!"
echo "%variable2%" Quote from: Squashman on January 06, 2015, 08:36:26 PM

Hi!  Joseph Rose a.k.a. Harry Potter, here.  I read PARTS of the agreement, and it said that I can't advertise.  Is it okay to advertise and share freeware here?     I have some....No. And thank your for asking.Oh.  You might want to go to a website where it has a list of freeware and try there instead.
also get a website and a GNU General Public License.I have a site on sourceforge.net and have been advertising in two DOS NEWSGROUPS.  Where else can I distribute and advertise DOS software?Well, ask some of you buddies on another forum if they are members of this forum. And if they would recommend your stuff on this forum and give a link to a good download site.
So many sites and now offering 'free software' along with SPAM and Spyware that some of use an recalcitrant to recommend anything anymore.

Someone named Harry Potter has posted a few batch files on Usenet in alt.msdos.batch.nt in recent weeks and also asked where else to publish them.

Was that you?  Is that what you are creating - they were batch files.

I have a function that doesn't work in context, but does as an independent program.  One of the 3rd party external commands I am using (convert) is throwing a Invalid Parameter error.  Any ideas why?

Not sure if you would also have to place the pg_1.jpg pg_1.pdf within " " or not as well, but I'd try first without the " "

CONVERT is an internal command to Windows.  So you need to specify the full path to the convert program you are using. QUOTE from: Squashman on December 14, 2014, 03:33:41 PM

CONVERT is an internal command to Windows.  So you need to specify the full path to the convert program you are using.

I will try that, but I don't think that's the issue as the program is executing.  It just isn't recognizing one of the inputs that It would normally recognize.

It just isn't recognizing one of the inputs that It would normally recognize.

Oh, I didn't realize windows had a convert command. That fixed it, thanks!

Been there for almost 20 years. Basically since Windows NT came out.

Date is a built-in VBscript function which returns the current system date, formatted according to the system locale settings.

I need help with the following batch program, it is supposed to check for the EXE WebFormApp.exe, if it is running then it should start Internet explorer. Otherwise it should start the WebFormApp.exe and then start Internet Explorer. the batch file below only works if the WebFormApp.exe is running. meaning it will open Internet Explorer. When the program is not running, it will run it and the cmd window will stay open.

what is the best way for me to do this?? I need this batch to be able to run WebFormApp.exe when ProcessNotFound is true, then launch Internet explorer. I'm a novice at this and your detailed help is greatly appreciated.

:ProcessNotFound
echo %EXE% is not running

thanksWithout having WebFormApp.exe in front of me, I don't know what the -start switch does, so I'll take if for granted that it's what you want.
One of the things you should know is that you never start the WebFormApp.exe after you start iexplorer.  Here is something to try:
Code: [Select]echo off
SETLOCAL EnableExtensions
set EXE=WebFormApp.exe

REM you can also use tasklist's /im "imagename" switch
FOR /F %%x IN ('tasklist /NH /FI "IMAGENAME eq %EXE%"') DO IF %%x == %EXE% goto ProcessFound

goto :ProcessNotFound

:ProcessFound
echo %EXE% is running
start "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer" IEXPLORE.EXE taxandaccounting.bna.com/btac/
REM I removed this ' goto :END ' statement so that it will continue down to start WebFormApp.exe.

:ProcessNotFound
echo %EXE% is not running
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\STF Services Shared\WebFormApp.exe" -start
goto :END

:END
echo Finished!This is what I came Up with You will have to fix where the files are and the exe and stuff.

exitThank you for all your replies, I spoke to the vendor of the application and he tells me that the -start switch has to be at the end of the path otherwise the program will not start from a batch file. example
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\STF Services Shared\WebFormApp.exe" -start . the problem is when the batch RUNS the cmd window never closes... I tried Exit and taskkill, but the batch file never reads anything past -start.

I will attach the msi file for WebFormApp.exe if anyone is WILLING to help. the file size is 1.7MB therefore I can't upload it here... but willing to send by email or it can be downloaded from Bloomberg Tax and accounting center.

thank.Batch files do sequential processing.  What this means is that if you launch an application from your batch file it will wait for that application to finish and exit before it MOVES on to the next command.
The work around for this as Shiverbob has pointed out is to use the internal START command to execute your application.  This spawns a new process and returns control back the batch file.

So you need to do something like this.
Code: [Select]START "Launching WebFormApp" "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\STF Services Shared\WebFormApp.exe" -startSquashman - thank you for your help, your suggestion worked.

It has been a long time since I have coded in Batch. There is a problem that I can't not figure out. I am making a Tic-Tac-Toe game, and when I have the player ENTER their choice via "set /p" and it goes through the process of setting the VARIABLE, which works fine. But what if they enter one that has already been selected. I do not know how to check the variable without having a bunch of if statements.

Thanks, Shiverbob

goto startMy win solution requires if statements to be nested into each other. However, when I nest if statements together it crashes. Could it be the fact the the second if statement is false. It also crashes when i enter a different cord-nets.
And is it  possible to have a if "!var!" == "bah" || "bal"?

But when I used a for loop it would work however if you enter the last cordnets  and there is no winner YET it skips that and say whatever player is on there, they win.



is this what you need to do?

Code: [Select]if "!13!" == "x" if "!23!" == "x" (
  echo hello

)


A problem in your code is that the ( needs a space before it here:

Code: [Select]if "!23!" == "x"(
  echo hello
  pause
)You are overthinking it. In its simplest form you only need 8 IF statements and none of them need to be nested.And stop using delayed expansion for your variables when you dont have to use it.Last Night I finished the game, with delayed-expansion. All works fine. The reason I added delayed-expansion was for my multiplayer add-on... It runs with nested if and is about 100 lines of code. Thanks for the help!Seems like it would be appropriate to post your final code otherwise people who read this thread in the future will see it as unfinished. Depending on what you were trying to do I still believe you could code it without using delayed expansion. Quote from: shiverbob on January 06, 2015, 08:01:36 PM

I am very bored

Hello,

I am in need of a batch file to automatically delete a file older in some stated hours
at a specified hourly interval. I have a system that generates a report at some hourly
interval. It renames the new one leaving the old one still there. With this i require a
batch file to periodically delete the old file base on some hours older.

Thanks.
If all you are doing is keeping the newest file in the folder then this should WORK. Run this batch file outside of the folder it is working on.  Make sure you test this on some test files first.

other files as well. Please modify it to not delete other files. Thanks. Quote from: Akod on January 11, 2015, 11:24:59 AM

I have 6 network drives that host applications, and are PUBLISHED in Terminal server. I currently use the batch FILE below to check for one network drive. I need help making this script check 6 network drives if they exist, if they do launch an APP. I tried various forms of if statements but wasn't successful. I am new to batch SCRIPTING, so your help is greatly appreciated.

Then it is just a matter of checking to see if your counter variable is EQUAL to 6.Squashman has given you the advice - I'm just following up with a suggestion in code.

I use ntfs4dos.exe (only the executable) on a DOS 5.5 boot CD.
I downloaded the NTFS4DOS free utility and extracted the ntfs4dos.exe
When I type ntfs4dos.exe it mounts my ntfs partitions and a FAT32 partition.
When I try the command "DIR" in the root of a mounted (a just tried NTFS) partitions, it says: no files found and it shows nothing.
I've tried different times and one time it succeeded to show the directories.When I tried then to delete a file in a directory it says with the command "DEL": bad command.

Is this normal?Never heard of DOS 5.5.... there is however a DOS 5.0.5 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MS-DOS

You might have better luck if you used FreeDOS INSTEAD which has features that integrated better with NTFS as well as legacy support for DOS commands instructions. Its based on Linux, but ACTS just LIKE MS DOS. Games written for DOS ALSO work within FreeDOS as far as Doom and Wolfenstein and Commander Keen etc.

Also there is no licensing issues against the EULA of Microsoft with its use on a bootable CD if going with FreeDOS etc.

Why aren't you running it from eth bootdisk ? ?It's DOS 5.0 Sorry (I will try freedos)

When I try the command "DIR" in the root of a mounted (a just tried NTFS) partitions, it says: no files found and it shows nothing.

When I wanted to include stderr (because "file not found" is an stderr)

I get the dos answer: too much parameters

But I could not access the file dir.txt in windows7: "no access" when I wanted to open it in notepad

I cannot redirect ntfs4dos.exe because it's an interactive command:there is an answer " yes"

Here are my Phone images of my "dir" and my ntfs4dos" command.
Sorry but the link asks a facebook or google login

Not gonna create a FBook account just to see your pics....thats just me.

I've rehosted the files:

• a flawed NTFS driver,

• an incorrect or missing parameter in the NTFS driver install command,

• or the NTFS drive is a modern high capacity unit and the driver doesn't have support for it - or possibly because it is a SATA drive.

I need some help I have a process that creates a file and another that will start other jobs based on the file existing however I need to delete the file if there is no data in it.  i.e. zero byte.

how do I delete a file if it has zero BYTES in a BATCH command? :-? :-?you can create an empty file, and use FC command (CHECK out fc /? ) to compare

  set zerofile=zerobyte
  copy nul %zerofile% &GT;nul
  for /f "delims=" %%a in ('dir/s/b/a-d') do (
    fc %zerofile% "%%a" >nul && del "%%a"
  )
  del %zerofile%I do not understand what you are telling me :-?  

I already have a file that may or may not be zero bytes.

when it is zero bytes I need to delete it so my next job will not run. Code: [Select]set zerofile=zerobyte
  copy nul %zerofile% >nul
This will copy a 0 byte file and name it as zerobyte. This file will be used later in the for loop to compare
file sizes

Code: [Select]  for /f "delims=" %%a in ('dir/s/b/a-d') do (
    fc %zerofile% "%%a" >nul && del "%%a"
  )
This will go to the directory where your files are, and compare their sizes with the file zerobyte
if they are 0 bytes,then delete

thank you that worked prefectly Or without creating the 0 byte file or calling FC, you can just check the size of the file like:
Code: [Select]  for /f "delims=" %%a in ('dir/s/b/a-d') do (
    if %%~za==0 del "%%a"
  )I have almost the same situation.
one file is zipped each day and it happends that ziping doesn't go well and I have 0 bytes zipped file.
So how can I delete that zipped file and start zipping original file again. In the same folder is more files so it must be file created today, which is zipped again.
all is in the folder d:/backupdb

batch for zipping file is
Code: [Select]FOR %%i IN (*.bak) DO 7z.exe a "%%~ni.7z" "%%i" Code: [Select]FOR %%i IN (*.bak) DO (
FOR %%G in (%%~ni.7z) DO IF "%%~zG"=="0" del "%%~G" 2>nul
7z.exe a "%%~ni.7z" "%%i"
)Start your own thread, don't try and re-use old ones.

Hello Everybody,

I am problem splinting the string in a loop.  I have a subroutine (:STRING_SPLIT ) that splits the string by delimiter and return the split value.  But the returned value is empty.

How will I add the gdal_calculate command to the batch script you gave?

In which part of your script should I add the gdal_calculate command?

Well you are not even to that point yet.  You still need the code to extract the Ordinal Date from the file name. 

Look at the code that Aacini gave you on DosTips.com.
That will show you the FOR command that will process all your files and it will show you how to get the ordinal date from the file name and then it basically shows you where you would put your GDAL command.

I have numerous images from a directory that needs to be subtracted to another image and I don't know how to do it automatically in batch process.

Here's what I need to do:

• Create the output directory
• Check automatically if there are new files added in the input directory, if there are new files subtract immediately

Files have a modified date which can be used to see if they are new.
Do your files get modified so that the most recent file was the last one that was created, or modified?

Everyday there will be new files added to the input directory that's why I included that in my goals but now instead of that those processed files will just be moved to another directory. So that the input directory will not be confused of the newer files. I hope I'm explaining it well?

Well nothing you said replied to the question I posed.
The task may be much simpler than the way your code looks to be - using the file dates rather than the numbers in the filename.

I don't follow the task too well though, as subtracted and subtrahend are your terms for something
but they make no sense in terms of describing what the task is.

To me it would make more sense to say "processing" or "process the file with programB and copy it to folder c:\widget\"

I'm fairly new to writing scripts and having trouble (yes, yet another newbie with a question..  ) But I have been working pretty hard on this and I'm not able to get this to work.

I've also just recently learned how to make an access database. Not very relevant, except for that is what the script will be working with. Basically, my company's network is terrible and I'm trying to write a script to work around this.

The script started as a simple "Is access running? If no, start the database." This was put in the task scheduler to run every 3 minutes. That worked, until the computer lost connection to the server for a while. Then since access was still open, it wouldn't restart the database. So I'm attempting to write a script that can read if a specific title of a dialog box if it appears, force close access and open it again. This will also open a network drive in an explorer window and close it to refresh the connection since Microsoft has yet to figure out how to make network drives reconnect AFTER the PC/Laptop connects to the WiFi. 

Here is my script. I've added a lot of extra echos so I can see what steps the program is going through when running.

Code: [Select]echo off
echo 10
TASKLIST /FI "imagename eq explorer.exe" /v | Find "Restoring Network Connections" 2>nul
timeout 10
echo 20
if "%errorlevel%"=="0" GOTO check2
timeout 10
echo 30
if "%errorlevel%"=="1" GOTO prog1
timeout 10

echo 40
:check2
echo 50
TASKLIST /FI "imagename eq MSACCESS.EXE" /v | Find "Microsoft Office Access" 2>nul
echo 60
if "%errorlevel%"=="0" GOTO check3
echo 70
if "%errorlevel%"=="1" GOTO prog2

echo 80
:check3
echo 90
TASKLIST /FI "imagename eq MSACCESS.EXE" /v | FIND /I "ACTION FAILED" 2>nul
echo 100
if "%errorlevel%"=="0" GOTO progcheck
echo 110
if "%errorlevel%"=="1" GOTO prog3

echo 120
:progcheck
echo 130
tasklist | findstr /i MSACCESS.EXE
echo 140
if %errorlevel% neq 0 goto restart else
echo 150
timeout 20
echo 160
goto end

echo 170
:restart
echo 180
REM start "" "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\MSACCESS.EXE" "J:\Manufacturing\TECH\Tool crib\TCI Database rev1.accdb"
echo 190
goto end

echo 200
:prog1
echo 210
timeout 10
echo 220
TASKKILL /F /FI "WINDOWTITLE eq Restoring Network Connections" /IM explorer.exe
echo 230
echo Restoring Network Connections Dialog box closed
echo 240
start "" "C:\refreshnetdrive.bat"
timeout 20
echo 250
goto check2

echo 260
:prog2
echo 270
timeout 10
TASKKILL /F /IM MSACCESS.EXE
echo 280
timeout 10
goto check3

echo 290
:prog3
echo 300
timeout 10
TASKKILL /F /IM "MSACCESS.EXE"
echo 310
timeout 10
goto progcheck

:end
echo 320 end of script
timeout 600

I'll clean it up a bit to make it easier to read:

Code: [Select]echo off
TASKLIST /FI "imagename eq explorer.exe" /v | Find "Restoring Network Connections" 2>nul
if "%errorlevel%"=="0" GOTO check2
if "%errorlevel%"=="1" GOTO prog1

:check2
TASKLIST /FI "imagename eq MSACCESS.EXE" /v | Find "Microsoft Office Access" 2>nul
if "%errorlevel%"=="0" GOTO check3
if "%errorlevel%"=="1" GOTO prog2

:check3
TASKLIST /FI "imagename eq MSACCESS.EXE" /v | FIND /I "ACTION FAILED" 2>nul
if "%errorlevel%"=="0" GOTO progcheck
if "%errorlevel%"=="1" GOTO prog3

:progcheck
tasklist | findstr /i MSACCESS.EXE
if %errorlevel% neq 0 goto restart else
goto end

:restart
REM start "" "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\MSACCESS.EXE" "J:\Manufacturing\TECH\Tool crib\TCI Database rev1.accdb"
goto end

:prog1
TASKKILL /F /FI "WINDOWTITLE eq Restoring Network Connections" /IM explorer.exe
start "" "C:\refreshnetdrive.bat"
goto check2

:prog2
TASKKILL /F /IM MSACCESS.EXE
goto check3

:prog3
TASKKILL /F /IM "MSACCESS.EXE"
goto progcheck

:end

It looks like I have the first check working (Line 10-30.) I haven't fully tested to be sure. But I know the 2nd and 3rd are not (Line 40-110.) Even when access isn't running, the script finds a positive on the errorlevel and attempts to close and reopen access. I'm really hoping I didn't just MISS a quotes somewhere, because I have poured over this for hours wondering where I went wrong. Attached is the output I'm getting from the script with the line echos still entered. Thanks for any help you can give me!



[attachment deleted by admin to conserve space]Your code has 'fall into' errors. Unless you want to fall into something. You need to deal with the case where the error level is not a 0 or 1.
Also, your use of ERRORLEVEL is odd. Below is a typical use of it in a batch FILE.
Code: [Select]IF ERRORLEVEL ==3 GOTO THREE
IF ERRORLEVEL ==2 GOTO TWO
IF ERRORLEVEL ==1 GOTO ONE[
DOS batch files rules are very odd. Look at this:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/69576

If batch is hard for you, consider using a more friendly script language.
Myself, I would VBA inside of Access, but I am not sure if your application could do what your want using only VBA.  (Visual Basic for Applications.)

Many IT professionals use Powershell with batch for common problems.
This guide is for using Powershell to test network issues.

I would like to start a project that involves the forum community. Before I do this I would like to know if people would like do it and prove that I am not a total idiot. Thanks for Your time anyway tho!Curious of what project ideas you have? Depends on what the project is. I for one don't have a lot I can contribute to a large scale project as it will most likely not be written in batch, and my grasp on python and java is not sufficient to contribute anything meaningful.Not sure why you or anyone else would think you are an idiot. If you want to start a batch program just post your ideas and some code and I am sure a lot of people will contribute their two cents if it peaks their interest.Why the Poll ? ?

Maybe these projects could be written in multiple languages, via C++, python and java.

I am very bored after school and practice

a space adventure

Here's a start.    Post if I missed a file.

Just a suggestion:

It would aid people to get this, with no typos and saving errors, if you could attach a zip file with the entire shebang.

Hello all.

I need a hand with mode command.

Using MS-DOS 5.0 on an HP 8000 Elite SFF.  Have a Raven 2406 parallel printer attached to COM1 via a 6 foot long Black Box PIO45A DB9 to Centronics serial to parallel converter. COM1 is set in the autoexec.bat file to "mode com1:48,n,8,1,p" and the converter (DIP switches) to flow control=hardware, no parity, 8 bits, stop bit=1, data rate=4800. The printer works just fine for days on end, even after daily shutdowns and restarts, but then nothing is printed. No error messages, it just doesn't print. Nothing is changed in the hardware or software. Tried reissuing the same mode command just before printing to no avail. Several restarts later it works again for days, then nothing. Changing COM1 and adapter settings is not an option, as 7bits (1 or 2 stop bits) results in lost print content.

My question: Is there a way to get MS-DOS 5.0 to report the current COM1 setting (without issuing a command to change it)?

Thanks for any help in solving this mystery.


Did you happen to try typing MODE /? at the DOS prompt and notice any options to display the status of the com port.
Maybe even try just typing MODE at the dos prompt by itself.Unfortunately, neither of those options reports the current COM1 setting Quote from: student0101 on January 20, 2015, 11:03:14 AM

Unfortunately, neither of those options reports the current COM1 setting

mode /? shows the command syntax and lists available options.

Did you happen to try typing MODE /? at the DOS prompt and notice any options to display the STATUS of the com port.

Device Status:     MODE [device] [/STATUS]

Yes I did. It only says:

Status for device COM1:
-------------------------------------
Retry=NONE

My own memory is a bit rusty but to my recollection you cannot actually view the current settings, the "STATUS" shown for it will only include the RETRY=NONE for some stupid reason. Further googling as you've likely attempted as well doesn't reveal anything.

I was able to see the current COM port settings by running MSD (Microsoft Diagnostics) However this is new in MS-DOS 6 so isn't in MS-DOS 5. I don't know of a in-box way of viewing the settings without a tool like MSD. (MSD also came with Windows 3.x as I recall, possibly other MS Software as well).

Also, if you are printing, I would expect you are using redirection to redirect an LPT port to the serial port? If that is the case, than it is worth noting that if you change the settings on the serial port you need to re-issue the redirection command. (MODE LPT1=COM1), otherwise printing won't work. (I don't know if it resets the redirection itself or perhaps has it using the old values for the redirect).

If the answer were in the DOS manual I wouldn't need to bother you.

hi

your answer is not wrong but not my Answer

this is an OS Base MS-DOS
use this tools to restore ISO file in VMware and see !

i want change these from MS-DOS OS Base to A Program Can be used in Win XP/7/8 or Linux and need to be CONECTED TO NETWARE SERVER ...

 

====================================================

After restore RUN os
select 1 and Enter
select DAP 1 and Enter

this is an industrial system
.......  NOT EASY .........
You (or your employer) need to spend some money here. On specialist IT ADVICE. You want to migrate a mission-critical (?) industrial system so you make the whole MS-DOS system disk image available on a free-help forum, and want some sparetime volunbteers to do it all for you? Good luck, but personally I think you are barking up the wrong tree. Does your employer know you are sharing their system with the whole world?

i just want found about files on this file

for example how can CONNECT this to a to specified server
i want to found about network files on this file and how config to other server ...
How this system detect server (where is file for this)

"this system is very old about 1983-1990"
and this is Personal work because we have very free time not for employer
Connect what? A virtual machine running the MS-DOS system?
run server (Novell netware 3.12) on VMware and use LAN segment on it
after start complete

start this system
this system just could be run after detect server

i want found where is the file used for detect server file and config it

================================================
I test windows XP and Newer version of SQL and Work good and connected to Novell netware 6.5
but this system need work on it.
There are miles of differences between Netware 3.x and Netware 6.x.
One uses bindery and the other does not. I am not sure what your intended goal is.a complete description is :

Need Help to Make Connection Between this System WITH Server And Other PCs. QUOTE from: Squashman on February 15, 2015, 11:54:03 AM

The plug was pulled when noise from the server's hard drives become intolerable.

Trying to figure out a way in batch without going the easy route of windows interface to remove read-only attribute from "Screenshots" folder of this current WoW game CLIENT.

I found that by running a non fully patched client I can play WORLD of Warcraft with the original legacy textures and skins, but once the client is fully patched the new textures and skins enable. I dont care for the new look and Blizzard has yet to make it a option to enable/disable legacy character appearances for those of us who dont care for the new look.

What i am trying to do is make the game client read-only for everything except for the screenshots folder which will have new screenshot pictures ADDED to it from time to time. This should kill blizzard from forcing the newest textures to my system and allow for me to continue to play this way until at some point when they kill off the legacy textures through a clean-up patch. The game client functions fine within a read-only environment, but unable to add new screenshots to the screenshots folder unless I remove the read only attribute to the folder.

I could just simply do this with windows under folder properties to remove the read only attribute, but that i am stumped on how to do it in batch, i figured I'd share what i was doing here to see if someone can point out what i need to do or am doing wrong. Its too bad the ATTRIB doesnt have an EXCLUDE switch to list what to exclude when assigning the Read-Only attribute to a folder and files and folders within it. Maybe there is a better command line tool out there to do this than the regular ATTRIB function built into Windows command shell.

Here is what I have that works in setting everything read-only, but the second instruction to remove the read-only attribute only does this for files within Screenshots and does not remove the read-only attribute from the Screenshots folder itself. 
Code: [Select]attrib +r c:\Wow6\*.* /S /D
attrib -r c:\Wow6\screenshots\*.* /S /D
pause

This is in relation to this: http://www.usgamer.net/articles/the-changing-face-of-world-of-warcraft

Also to note that their battlenet update client searches drives for the location of World of Warcraft and even though masked by the C:\wow6 instead of C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft path no matter where it hides on a hard drive the updater will detect it and try to update its contents even if you dont want it to. So the read-only method is the only thing i could come up with to stop it from updating.

The other oddity is the messages about the "Not resetting hidden file" which i am not sure if I can clean up to resolve, but one of the files looks like a hidden local database and the other looks like a hidden log, so forcing these read-only is probably not critical as for it has nothing to do with texture files etc.

Set a folder or a file to read only doesn't keep you from deleting it or replacing it.  You would need to set File Permissions for that.

I believe I tried the /D alone as you have on the attrib -r c:\Wow6\screenshots /D and it complained that in order to use /D it had to be in conjunction to /S

I have a program installed silently on few windows 7 clients.
But problem is because users need to make some settings before use it and that is problem.
Now I have saved settings and distribute it to clients in settings.ini
but problem is because in settings.ini is folder of my profile, like
c:\users\mike\documents

now I need to CHANGE my name Mike with the name of user on the client pc.

so batch will find in settings.ini mike and change it with current username.Type this in a cmd prompt:

Code: [Select]set u

Without details about your task, that will at least give you a clue.I already tried that to change to change a line in settings.ini
from
c:\users\mike\documents

to

c:\users\%username%\documents

but not working

when I go to software it shows me

c:\users\%username%\documents


instead

c:\users\george\documents

or
c:\users\tina\documents

or

c:\users\sam\documents

So I need to change that with batch when user logs in.settings.ini is not a batch file, right?

If you describe your task in technical terms then you are LIKELY to get a solution.
Or just provide enough details about the task so any readers don't have to guess what you are doing.the thing here is, that I am trying to change that line in settings.ini with a batch.
So batch will find which user is currently logged in and change the line in path to right one.
So after that path will be set for current logged in user.

problem is this path in settings.ini
c:\users\mike\documents


user Tina (username) can not save in that folder so that's why I need batch, to change that.maybe ti will help location of settings.ini in my case
it is under c:\users\mike\appdata\roaming\prts\settings.ini

so some other user have it in
c:\users\tina\appdata\roaming\prts\settings.iniOk, it's easy to find out the current users profile location.

Which line of settings.ini has to be changed?
How will this be changed - will you supply the users the batch file to run to change settings.ini ?

Can you use any tool to perform the editing of settings.ini? Quote from: foxidrive on March 05, 2015, 07:28:53 AM

Now is in line 42
I am not soure about that line, because line may change if you change settings in software which use settings.ini
I need to test some more for that.

yes I intent to supply batch to user by system and run batch file by system on every user when he logs in

tool for editing settings.ini, I use notepad.
