Hi guys,

I'm building a game in DOS, and i'm having some real issues when I wanted to implement the CHOICE command - never used it before, but it seemed a great way to go..

Here's the code:

echo ----- Welcome to Lands of Horayan -----
echo Press 1 to Start the Game
echo Press 2 for the Options menu
CHOICE /C 12 /N
if ERRORLEVEL == 1 goto Start
if ERRORLEVEL == 2 goto Options
:Start
echo Start Game
:Options
echo Options Menu

However, It is not executing the code correctly, upon selecting "1" or "2" it simply just prints out "Start Game" & "Options Menu" in the command window..? Why is my code not displaying what it should do correctly? Surely if i press "1" it should just print out "Start Game", for example?

Do bear in mind, this is not the actual game, it's just a part i've copied out and modified to make it easier to DETERMINE what the issue is CHOICE  is working fine. 
Batch is not a high level language with lost of  nice things.
It requires the GOTO statement to be used more often.

echo ----- Welcome to Lands of Horayan -----
echo Press 1 to Start the Game
echo Press 2 for the Options menu
CHOICE /C 12 /N
if ERRORLEVEL == 1 goto Start
if ERRORLEVEL == 2 goto Options
GOTO Finish
:Start
echo Start Game
GOTO Finish
:Options
echo Options Menu
:Finisgh
echo finish

Quote

if ERRORLEVEL == 1 goto Start

Says descending order right in the help file.

I thout about seperating code between files and use them as functions.
I had many errors until I realized that the Output of this Funcs must be only the 'ECHO ...' that I need.
In these file there must be ECHO OFF in its 1st line, otherwise each line code become an Output.
Here is a little example. even recursive:
Let's have file Named Func.CMD
We CALL it from Command-Line with a parameter:
Code: [Select]CALL Func.CMD 1The code in Func.CMD:
Code: [Select]ECHO OFF
SET /A X = %1 + 1
IF %X% LSS 10 FOR /F "DELIMS=" %%i IN ('CALL Func.CMD %X%') DO SET /A X = %%i
ECHO %X%

It LOOKS so:
C:\>CALL Func.CMD 1
10

I HOPE SOMEONE can enjoy it
YossiThis can be useful, but its hard to pass things out.

Something LIKE this might work.
Code: [Select]Setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
Set param_num=0
For %%a in ('call func.bat %param1%') do (
Set param_!param_num!=%%a
Set /a param_num+=1
)

i have video files on diffrent format (wmv, mp4, mpg, flv) and parted files
and i am USING windows program for merge
but, i wanna merge all files with batch file

ffmpeg command is :
CODE: [Select]ffmpeg -i concat:"file1|file2|file3" -c:v copy -c:a copy "combined.mp4"
and all files last chars ; pt1 , pt2 ... p1 , p2 ...

example :
video1 pt1.wmv ; video1 pt2.wmv ; video1 pt3.wmv .....
video2 p1.mp4 ; video2 p1.mp4 ; video2 p3.mp4 .....
video3 p01.mpg ; video3 p02.mpg ; video3 p03.mpg ...... video3 p99.mpg....

parts name formated

how i can use that command ?
Test this.  The command line has a length restriction so the number of filenames you can use depends on the length of all the filenames.

Code: [Select]echo off
set "file="
for %%a in (*.mp4) do call set "file=%%file%%|%%a"
ffmpeg -i concat:"%file:~1%" -c:v copy -c:a copy "combined.mp4"
pause
foxidrive

sorry, i late

unfortunately
result is



_all   named files, MERGED manual with boiler..... programDid you solve the problem??sorry no

dont working

look to bottom line... filename combined  only.. no merged filename.. and size wrong
must be filename

%%file%%_combinedThe task is unclear but this modification may help you: the change is inside the (......) section.

Code: [Select]echo off
set "file="
for %%a in (080_*.mp4) do call set "file=%%file%%|%%a"
ffmpeg -i concat:"%file:~1%" -c:v copy -c:a copy "combined.mp4"
pause
foxidrive

thx, you wanna help me but,
have much parted files there
but your code creating only one file for all parted and name combined and THATS wrong


filetes_p1.mp4 ; filetes_p2.mp4 ;........;  filetes_p#.mp4  will be merged name filetes_combined.mp4 (%%file%%_combined) or (%%file%%_all.mp4)

filesec_1.mp4 ; filesex_2.mp4 ;...... ;  filesec_#.mp4 will be merged name "filesec_combined.mp4" (%%file%%_combined) or (%%file%%_all.mp4)

and other file name will be this format (for all video format-s : mp4, wmv, flv, mpg, mpeg, mkv, avi)

your code wanna merge different parted and named files

sorry for my lang and explain Quote from: TosunPASA on July 19, 2015, 07:37:25 AM

I want to run a batch file every three weeks to do some cleaning on my computer.
with scheduler i can only CHOOSE between day, week, month and so on. but not three weeks

is there a possibility that i can check if when the last time is has the batch file has run and if this was three weeks ago

i wanted to do this by reading the date in the batch file save this date as a number, and then the next time read this number and compare it. if the number is under 21 days than the batch file shoul not run. otherwise it should run and assigne a new date to the number

has somebody a solution for this or another solution.


thanks

MarcThis should work.

It launches your "run update.bat" when the computer is started on or after the 3 week mark.
It creates and maintains a file in the temp FOLDER.

CODE: [Select]echo off
set "datetest=%temp%\datetest.txt"
if not exist "%datetest%" call :get-date 21
call :get-date 0
set /p d=<"%datetest%"
echo today is "%DATA%" and the target date is "%d%"
if %data% GEQ %d% (
  call "run update.bat"
  call :get-date 21
)
pause

goto :EOF
:get-date
(set day=%~1)
echo >"%temp%\%~n0.vbs" s=DateAdd("d",%day%,now) : d=weekday(s)
echo>>"%temp%\%~n0.vbs" WScript.Echo year(s)^& right(100+month(s),2)^& right(100+day(s),2)
for /f %%a in ('cscript /nologo "%temp%\%~n0.vbs"') do set "result=%%a"
del "%temp%\%~n0.vbs"
set "YYYY=%result:~0,4%"
set "MM=%result:~4,2%"
set "DD=%result:~6,2%"
set "data=%yyyy%-%mm%-%dd%"
if "%~1"=="21" >"%datetest%" echo %data%
the computer will not start every dayThe modifed code above should still work for you.hi foxidrive


that works indeed

thanks for your help

For my school project we have been asked to talk about the similarities between Linux and Windows, and to relate some of the tasks we have done in school with Windows (both GUI and CL). Does anyone know anything that you can do on either Windows (GUI and CL) and on Debian CL? Also, are there any advantages for either one over the other, such as ease-of-use, or more complex things such as its being easier to create NEW users and assign them to groups?

I have been asked to get primary RESEARCH, so I’m not asking you to write a project for me, just to mention some things that you think are easier on either one.We do not do homework.  Here are some key areas you can consider.
First, Debian is a variant of Linux. Herein think of them as near equal.
A. MS-DOS and Windows started out on the 8086 CPU which had a limited address space and a strange way of doing program segments. Linux was developed for the i386 CPU large address space without need for SEGMENTATION. 
B. Linux was developed as a community project without the need for a profit plan. The objective was to share work and reward with all.
C. Like UNIX, Linux was meant to support several terminals on one  desktop computer. A number of users could all use the computer at the same time using teleprinters or dumb terminals, also called consoles.

The great thing about Linux was its use as a server for start-up internet providers. It was free and well suited for use as a Internet server. It is still widely used as a web server.

Hope that helps.   

Hi

Im messaging from an archaeology company using a DOS computer call a Advantech AWS-8380tp to run an array of metal detectors (Called a TSS 340) searching for artefacts on the seabed using an ROV submersible.

The ROV has a direct comms link using RS232 on a serial port to this AWS unit which gives us feedback on the screen in its DOS program when it goes over something metallic. 

However!!!! The machine worked for all of a day (it was donated to us) then the motherboard is beeping an error code and has 4 red lights constantly so think its died.  Hard drive seems to caddy ok and can see the shell file when plugged into an XP machine.  I THINK the AWS computer is a 386, and THINK the DOS version is 6.22...

From what I can tell these old Advantech systems (1994) are designed as an all-in-one for deployment in harsh environments  i.e. screen and computer, boots DOS from the internal HDD, and runs the program which talks to the metal detector all in one heavy duty box.  I don't think there is any special components inside to run this system as its only connected by 1 serial port (pins 4 & 5 RX & TX possibly), and a power lead. 

Question is, is there anyway we can run this DOS program from the caddy'd HDD and get it to talk on RS232 comms to our metal detector?  I did TRY to do this from an XP machine by double clicking the shell file but no luck at all other than an error saying 'can not see COM 3 & COM 4'

We're completely out of ideas.  Anyones help/troubleshooting ideas will really go a long way!!

Kind regards and appreciation

It will not run from a caddy...it will run if installed as primary HDD on any desktop however... Quote from: RPMNautical on July 24, 2015, 04:37:59 PM

than an error saying 'can not see COM 3 & COM 4'

turn it on I got an error message after the memory test saying 'Verifying DMI Pool Data' then 'Insert system disk and press any key'

Hi all,
I wrote a batch for extracting the correct weather file from a weather server (see attached autometar.bat)
The files are retrieved with ws-ftp from
account="tgftp.nws.noaa.gov"

To prevent using  this WS-FTP application:
Q1= I used ftp.exe from windows but that fails to download files;
 it stuck after setting the remote server to PASV

331 Please specify the password.

Hi foxidrive
as in the screen print attached from ws-ftp>> gov.jpg
you should get gov-2.jpg

%time% generates single or double digit
if it can be done simpler, let me know please.

Hello

The code for a batch file

copy folder (my folder name is = my user client on the network username .for example MAY user name is user1 So  my folder ind DRIVE D is User1) from one drive to another copy.

I've tested this code, but did not answer.
Code: [Select]MD D:\bdc94
attrib -r -h -s D:\bdc94\*.*
xcopy  "d:\%username%\*.*" d:\bdc94 /Q /Y /R /S
batch file for use in policy  server 2012(client win7)
tanks
The solution to this problem?

ThanksYour details are conflicting.

Describe exactly what you need to do and someone will provide you with some code.

or test this:

Code: [Select]echo off
robocopy "d:\%username%"  "e:\test folder\%username%" /mir
Thanks
My problem was solved with your code
Good luckHello
I've got a problem in copying some files
Some will not copy files and folders and message retry show. The other files are not copied
How, if did not copy the file access. It is automatically canceled and the next file is to be copied

Thanks

            New File               10382        Excel12.xlbTwo things stop the files from copying:

A) is that you need to use an account with sufficient access privileges to copy all the files, and
B) any files that are locked and in use will not copy, WITHOUT using volume shadow copy techniques.

Your other point can be solved by changing the timeout to zero seconds and the retry count to zero

I use the xcopy command in a DOS batch file to backup my personal files and it works fine. However, when XCOPY encounters an error, the error message is displayed, but the offending filename is not. Only files that are successfully copied are displayed (to the screen or logfile) How do I pinpoint the file that is CAUSING the error? Sometimes it's a long path name and the error is "Insufficient memory", but I still have no way of FINDING the offending file. Other times, the error might be "File creation error - The file cannot be accessed by the system". Same problem, I do not know the filename that is causing the error. The error message itself is not what I need help with. It's pinpointing the file that is causing the error, whatever that error might be. I need a way to display the filename BEFORE the copy is attempted. Thank you. Show the code that you use. It will have to be modified 
 to LOG errors. It will run SLOWER, but give you a report.

Also, you may want to use ROBOCOPY.  Here is a link about using it to log errors.


But there is no quick easy solution. You may have to log all file actions and then filter just the errors.

I have numerous image files (JPG/PNG format) stored in a folder. I would like to filter out (move to another folder) images that does NOT contain any of the following TEXT :

_thumb ; _tiny ; _zoom ; _std

Example: image_thumb.jpg ; image_tiny.jpg ; image_zoom.jpg ; image_std.jpg ; image.jpg

Output: image.jpg should be moved to another Folder

Anyone CARE to share DOS Command prompt to achieve this ?   

Thanks in Advance.This QUESTION also posted on DosTip.com
http://www.dostips.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=6598Sorry about, i am desperate to get an answer pretty soon.  Untested:

Code: [Select]echo off
dir /b /a-d | findstr /v /i "_thumb _tiny _zoom _std" >file.txt
md "Another folder"
for /f "usebackq delims=" %%a in ("file.txt") do move "%%a" "Another folder"
del file.txt

Homework due in today ? ?

If your images are in C:\images, you just put the batch file into that folder and execute it.
It will create a sub folder called "C:\images\Another Folder" and put all the images in there.
Change as needed.

I have installation files creation in NullSoft system 2.46.
(*.EXE files are storage in http://www.zetrozet.com/index.php?load=downtbl&modul=ucto15)

At starting from Windows 32-bit location, from Windows 64-bit location or from 16-bit location application below DosBox in Windows 64-bit location working totally correct.

At initiation from 16-bit location application in Windows 32-bit location working incorrect:
1) proper are unpacking insertion files
2) proper is generating and initiation batch-file
3) UFAND.EXE, that is to be initiation batch file, yet initiation isn't. Instead write out report "type 'exit' to return to FAND". (FAND.EXE, UFAND.EXE is 16-bit location programming language Czech rise.)

For easier determination causes mistaken behaviour stoking NullSoft script, from that is of perceptible and way generation batch file

What is the actual question that you have, and would like an answer for? Quote from: trikolka on July 27, 2015, 02:49:45 PM

I have installation files creation in NullSoft system 2.46.
(*.EXE files are storage in http://www.zetrozet.com/index.php?load=downtbl&modul=ucto15)

At starting from Windows 32-bit location, from Windows 64-bit location or from 16-bit location application below DosBox in Windows 64-bit location working totally correct.

At initiation from 16-bit location application in Windows 32-bit location working incorrect:
1) proper are unpacking insertion files
2) proper is generating and initiation batch-file
3) UFAND.EXE, that is to be initiation batch file, yet initiation isn't. Instead write out report "type 'exit' to return to FAND". (FAND.EXE, UFAND.EXE is 16-bit location programming language Czech rise.)

Last testing - if you run the setup * .exe from 16-bit applications running on 32-bit Windows under DOSBox will the entire installation correctly. Because * .EXE installer detects the 32-bit Windows from Windows 64-bit, 16-bit triggers application (UFAND.EXE) outside DOSBox.

Menu, from which the 16-bit application installation starts * .EXE (or downloaded from the web and then triggers):


For easier determination causes mistaken behaviour stoking NullSoft script, from that is of perceptible and way generation batch file

What is the actual question that you have, and would like an answer for?

Question - why when you start the installation of 16-bit applications running on Windows 32-bit installation does not correctly.

2) When the update * .EXE running on the same 16-bit applications under Windows 32-bit, will be a correct unpack the attached file is executed correctly generated * .BAT file, but instead run the 16-bit update program (UFAND.EXE) batch issues souvor message "type 'exit' to return to Fand".

• You are using Dosbox somehow and not just Windows 32 bit
• You're including some kind of file manager by the look of it, as the message type 'exit' to return to Fand usually indicates that a file manager shell is running.
• There is the Nullsoft aspect and a batch script, and we'd need to see the batch script.

1) When the update * .EXE running on 32-bit Windows, from Windows 64-bit or 16-bit application under DOSBox is working quite correctly. (When you start a Windows 64-bit, you start a 16-bit installer under DOSBox)

Dear all,

could you HELP me to FIND PROGRAM better than( E-BatchMaker )write the batches and convert to exe and drag an icon to BATCH or some thing LIKE that.Look here: http://www.f2ko.de/en/index.php

is it possible to call a success or fail after installing a program from the .bat file?  Here is a sample of what I have so far:


echo off
echo Installing Random Filename
call random file name




Is there a WAY to have it report success or fail for that random filename installation?The program you are CALLING would have to set an error level after installing.  At which point you can then use the %errorlevel% variable to determine success or failure. How could I determine if a specifc program would set an error CODE? Is it program specific? I will be using this to call more than one prigrma for installation if that helps any.Well I could think of two logical ways to determine that.
1) Run the program from the batch file and then echo the errorlevel variable to the screen.
2) Read the manual for the program!OK, thanks

Hey all

Is it possible to make a batch file that would do this?:

User launches BAT file
User inputs 4 digit number which refers to a remote PC's location
BAT file figures out the remote computers IP address (lets say for example there's a PC located at 1234, its IP address would be 40.12.34.20 (the PC would ALWAYS be on .20 and the first part of the IP is always PRESET to 40.)
Once connected it will input the remote PC's admin credentials for access
It will then open up the root of C: allowing the user to drop files into it.

Hope this makes sense! HARD to explain...

Thanks The task isn't too clear but UIAM the root of the system drive c: doesn't allow users to write files there.

The second and third octecs of the IP address can also have other than 2 numerals.

So you are trying to do this across the Internet?  Because the IP address you gave US is not a reserved (Private) IP address. This causes a whole bunch of other HEADACHES if that is what you are trying to do.  Not too mention I doubt we would be able to determine the IP address without some type of DNS resolution.

i want to unzip my swf files in the root and then move them into there own directory in games folder. there is over 1000 of them its TAKING to long to do this manually on my lan. i would like to USE a .bat to do this. its been a while that i have tried doing my own batch files.
each file has its own name and i would like to use that name for its folder. then clean up the files once the work is done so i can have a clean root directory.

d:\                               this is were the batch file , zip files and swf files are.
d:\games                      flash game folder
d:\games\age of war      own game folder for swf file

d:\age of war.zip
or
d:\age of war.swf




win10 HOME edition 64 bitWhat console zip PROGRAM are you using?7zip

There appears to be a command, or .exe file, called "setup." It works when I type "setup" in MS-DOS (6.22), but when I type in "help," I don't SEE it listed there. Does anyone have any idea why it's not listed? Or am I LOOKING in the wrong spot? I just don't understand why it wouldn't be listed...It's not listed because it is not PART of MS-DOS.

Windows 3.1 includes a setup program for configuring the system. Earlier versions had SOMETHING similar, I believe. That is likely what you are launching.That's good advice you got there.  setup.exe can be an install file too.

The help in MSDOS V6.22 only SHOWS system commands - internal and external commands.

If you type setup /? then you may see some switches on the internal help that would be useful, but not all setup.exe have internal help.

When I try and press enter on something, it won't work. After I move the arrow keys around and try a couple more times it freezes. How do I fix this? I'm USING VMWare Fusion 7 and MS-DOS 6.22.Have you checked into this info here?: https://communities.vmware.com/thread/93983?tstart=0 Quote from: DaveLembke on July 21, 2016, 08:05:32 AM

Have you checked into this info here?: https://communities.vmware.com/thread/93983?tstart=0

Thank you very much!

For anyone else having this problem, it was MS-DOS 6.22. MS-DOS 5.0 works fine. I don't know why... Maybe 6.22 is incompatible with 1.0?

Isn't that what that thread was basically saying.  Windows 1 was originally created to run on top of MS-DOS 2.

i am re using one of my old gwbasic files but it save/writes to the wrong directory/folder

COULD someone tell me the line to write to the correct directory.      e.g. c:form\fred

i use it on 32 bit vista .



OPEN "B:TEMP" FOR INPUT AS #1



it is writing my file to the windows directory system32 and i am unable to set up a short CUT to this and have to look for it and it takes too long.  i need the file to write to a normal folder so that i can put a shortcut and to read the output quickly.

assume.     fred to be the current directory   i want it to save to c:\harry   how do i tell it in the open file line.

currently i have the specific files (160.000) in 1 folder which is named ''PL''

I want to split the files in 8 different folders (named: stream1, stream2,..,stream which contain 20.000 files each.

within those folders i have 3 subfolders called ''set1, set2, set3) where i want to split the 20.000 files in 3.

is there a possibility to create an easy script where i can MOVE those 160.000 files in 8 folders, and eventually those 20.000 each in 3 subfolders?[/color]


Would be great if you could help me.

MAny thanks from a noob from holland Is this homework or a real world thing?

Make it more simple. Do it incrementally.

Write a batch that with move the first 20,000 files.
when it is DONE... wait a bit. The do it gain.
Use a pencil and paper to keep TRACK of how many times.
Stop after you haw done it 8 times.
CHECK and see if the fold is now empty.

That s after than TRYING to figure out how to make it faster.

I can create a new folder in DOS with the following command:

mkdir F:\test\

How, in DOS, do I make it so that the folder, and any future contents, are encrypted?

Thanks in advance.If you MEAN MS-DOS, you can't.

If you mean the Windows Command Line, you can use "Cipher" on versions/Editions of windows that support NTFS file encryption to encrypt or DECRYPT files based on your user SID. You could always set it as read-only with this:

ATTRIB +r "path to folder" /S

As for proper encryption, I have heard Cipher.exe is the command-line encryption TOOL. Cipher.exe was included in all releases of Windows XP and in Windows 2000 SP3 onward.

I have a variable string that looks like the following:
            Code: [Select]SET VAR1="could be anything++++something+anything can follow+something+something"How do I EXTRACT everything from the "++++" to the end of the string?  In this case, my RESULT would be:  ++++something+anything can follow+something+something.
The string is not fixed in size, the key is extracting everything from ++++ to the end of the string.

I did the following, but then that is cheating:
          Code: [Select]SET VAR2=%VAR1:*++++="++++%Is the separator between sections always 4 plus signs?

Is it always the first occurrence in the string of that character?The 4 plus signs may or may not appear in a string.  In my script, I do test for 4 plus signs before continuing else I will exit.
If the 4 plus signs does appear, I WANT to extract everything from the 4 plus signs until the end of the string.If a string does not contain 4 plus signs, it is ignored?

If a string does contain 4 plus signs, are they the first occurence of plus signs in the string?

Do you want any later plus signs to remain?


If a string does not contain 4 plus signs, it is ignored?    Yes, it is ignored if there are not 4 plus signs.

If a string does contain 4 plus signs, are they the first occurence of plus signs in the string?  Anything can precede the 4 plus signs, I am interested only in the contents from the start of the 4 plus signs to the very end of the string.

Do you want any later plus signs to remain?  All plus signs must remain, see below:.

If the string is:                                "could be anything++++something+anything can follow+something+something"
I want the following returned:        "++++something+anything can follow+something+something"You can use FOR /F to split the string into two halves, the part before ++++ and the part after, and then PUT back the ++++.

echo off
SET VAR1="could be anything++++something+anything can follow+something+something"
for /f "tokens=1* delims=+" %%A in (%var1%) do (
    set firstpart=%%A
    set lastpart=++++%%B
   )
echo whole string %var1%
echo first part   %firstpart%
echo last  part   %lastpart%
echo.
pause

Output...

C:\Batch\Test>test1.bat
whole string "could be anything++++something+anything can follow+something+something"
first part   could be anything
last  part   ++++something+anything can follow+something+something

Press any key to continue . . .


Works like a charm, thank you very much.....

Dear All,

kindly explain how to copying specific files across the network from machine to another machine
 i tried to USING xcopy command with some parameters to do that but i found my batch didn't work properly
, So can any one here to expalin where is my mistake
and write the true command according to my environment as i attached my Bat file here
And i want to copy whole (Atb firmware )folder from on C: root partition and it's content into three files to destination C: root on network machine, i mean i want to create the same folder on destination machine and copy the three files into it in one Bat file order.
Note: I Won't to compress this folder then copy it.

Hope to all my best wishes

[attachment deleted by admin to conserve space]For more explain .
i want to create a folder if doesn't exist then copy files into it on the network machine and if the folder exist and content a files also i want to overwrite on itAbo-Zead,
Please do not send BAT files to the forum.
Also, sending any thing to the root of the C: drive is a bad practice.
Instead, each workstation should have a directory shared with write permission.
You called your batch file xcopy.bat

Use a different name for your script: because the xcopy command inside it will re-launch your batch script instead of using the xcopy.exe command. Quote from: foxidrive on September 12, 2016, 03:47:36 PM

If I had a dollar for every time someone named their batch file the same as a command in their batch file, I would be a little bit wealthier.  Maybe middle class instead of lower middle class.

I want to change the FILENAME of all files in a folder where no TS file exist into XML file
For example: when the file test.xml EXISTS and the file test.ts doesn't exist I want to rename the file test.xml to test.ts
I tried this batch but it doesn't work. The batch do nothing.

FOR %%G in (*.xml) do if not exist "%%~nG.ts" rename "%%~nG.xml" "%%~nG.ts"

Any ideas?Try RUNNING this and see what messages you MAY get

echo off
FOR %%G in (*.xml) do (
    echo Found: "%%~nG.xml"
    if not exist "%%~nG.ts" (
       echo "%%~nG.ts" does not exist
       echo Trying to rename "%%~nG.xml" to "%%~nG.ts"
       rename "%%~nG.xml" "%%~nG.ts" && (echo Success) || (echo Fail)
   ) else (
       echo "%%~nG.ts" ALREADY exists
   )
)

Hi,

I'm looking for an on-screen qwerty keyboard for DOS. (Not DOS apps running in windows) That a user can mouse click the on screen keys so the keystrokes can be fed into an application just as a regular fixed keyboard would do. Would anyone know if there is an application available?

Thanks None available that i can think of. If you know of a good programmer they could make this for you however mouse controls might have to be serial COM1 or COM2 or PS2 mouse port. Finding USB Serial programming for DOS without windows is a stretch. Additionally it likely would not be pretty looking in 16-bit.

I have serious doubts that you will be ABLE to do away with the keyboard completely.

 What kind of programs do you want to pass the keystrokes to?

  Someone might be able to write a TSR that could be called by hot key combination like CTRL+K to bring up the GUI keyboard and upon hitting enter it passes the key stream to the application simulating keystrokes and vanishes. Until CTRL+K again. The biggest issue is that whatever our passing keystrokes to via a GUI INTERFACE will need to be the focus, be running when the key stream is sent. So the application you want to run wouldnt be running, you would say CTRL+K to tell the TSR to bring up the GUI interface keyboard, click what you want to pass to it and it stores the keyboard stream,  and then launch the application, and then either a time delay to where it passes the keyboard stream or another hot key combination like CTRL+S to send the keystroke stream to the application through SIMULATED keystrokes. But then your getting into Keyboard Macros. There are keyboard macros out there for DOS, but they are constructed using keyboard and not a GUI point and click.

This is above is beyond my programming skills, but thinking of how it could be constructed and work in a completely only DOS environment. I feel a TSR is the only way to have this GUI Keyboard where its like a service waiting for the keystroke of say CTRL+K to bring up the keyboard and then it stores what is to be typed and passes it LATER when the application is launched later to that application.

TSR's generally run behind the SCENES in memory to hack, modify, or perform some sort of background service to a DOS environment. ( the virus's and hacking of the day were in this TSR category ). So Im thinking this is the only way to make this happen. Will be interesting if you find a method that works.

 If you had Windows running such as Windows 3.11 you would be more apt to have multitasking and a nicer looking GUI keyboard than what DOS can provide.

Thinking deeper 2 computers could be used via a serial null cable and one computer is always up with the mouse GUI and passing serial stream of keystrokes to the 2nd computer which would act like normal but be receiving instructions from the other in a remote control keystroke way through the GUI of the 2nd computer to the first. The first computer would have a TSR listener service running that accepts all keystrokes over serial communications. This I can see working much better than a single computer with only DOS as the OS. The first computer would need a line added to config.sys or autoexec.bat for the TSR to load to RAM on boot. You would be likely running into a very very tight memory band where you have to worry about using too much base memory of the 640k to which DOS programs wont run if too much base memory is in use. himem.sys might help, but its quite a project you have.

It's always easy to fiddle with code that's already written.   
This is a little bit of a hack, given the characteristics of the text.

Code: [Select]echo off

FOR /F "delims=PDF" %%J IN ("%%H") DO echo %%%J)

Yes Foxidrive.  I had that idea as well but thought it might not be bullet proof.  So I just stuck with the substring.

...then the OP gets abducted by aliens...

Hi Guys, I am back from running the codes...

I tried saving both Squash and Fox version into a-test.bat and ran it (I hope this is correct way)... but have different results

Squash code did not output abc-out.txt
Fox code output abc-out.txt but 0kb inside

will it help if I paste the redacted sample here ? I think we are in different timezone probably a minimum 8hrs different. so delay will be experienced unless... that is what those greenies wants me to think.....

cheers guys

I just realised that you are using "received pdf" as the search key... I made some modification. it is working somewhat.

hi all,

I currently have a folder with 160.000 files. al the filenames are a combination of 2 different id's, an original filename and a location where it used to be located
(e.g. 12345$RESUME#56789_mydocuments.pdf)

the numbers their self are not unique, but the combination of the 2 is unique.

I would like to MAKE a SCRIPT for a batch file which move the files which contain the 2 numbers (e.g. 12345 and 56789) to be moved to a specific folder.

could someone help me to make a script for this.

Thanks a LOT Quote from: derksen1986 on August 17, 2016, 09:50:09 AM

Hi,
I'm very new to Batch Programming and can't still try to create my own for the script I needed.
Say I have 10 or more pdf files in a folder --- c:\Invoices which I would like to transfer those pdf files to c:\Invoices\Moved Files
But before moving, I would like to rename these pdf files into a series using the user input so it would be a script like:
Code: [Select]set /p NameSeries=What is your name series?
Say the series input by user is "JENNY-0000" , then the pdf file names would be JENNY-0001, JENNY-0002, JENNY-0003 and so on until all the files where renamed say there are 20 pdf files to rename, then it would be JENNY-0020 for the last item.
Then all these files will be moved as mentioned above.
Thanks!
Sorry I will not write it for you. But I have some questions.
Is this something that has to be done very often?
Would like to do this inside of the graphical interface instead commandment prompt?
Yes, this will be done very often and by a lot of users.
Not sure what you mean by graphical interface but if that includes installing apps, then it is forbidden in our company that is why I can only study batch file scripting.Somebody NEEDS to tell you or your boss that use of DOS commands in Windows 8 is not the path Microsoft recommends for administrative tasks.

Microsoft recommends any and administrators learn PowerShell, whether they program or not. Microsoft has forums another means to help administrators manage takes in a Windows based work group.

Now CH is indeed the right place  to get help with  batch file scripts. Somebody will come here shortly.

Bear in mind CH cannot take any RESPONSIBILITY for problems you encounter.

What I mean to stress is that batch programming over r the years has not improved in areas  of critical management of more complex working scenarios  found in today's windows work group environments.

Here is a reference of interest:
Break Your Batch Habit and Move to PowerShell
Quote

Starting in Windows 2000 (1999), Microsoft added to its scripting power by introducing the Windows Script Host (WSH) and two real, built-in, programming languages (VBScript and JScript--Microsoft’s version of JavaScript). WSH scripts rely on COM objects to interface with the operating system and applications. While WSH is extremely useful and powerful, it’s limited to COM objects that are installed on the computer and doesn’t provide a command-line interface.

Say the series input by user is "JENNY-0000" , then the pdf file names would be JENNY-0001, JENNY-0002, JENNY-0003 and so on until all the files where renamed say there are 20 pdf files to rename, then it would be JENNY-0020 for the last item.

Hi, the name series depends on the user but it will always state a 5 letter word, then a hypen "-" then four 0's that will represent the max of 9999 files to rename and move.but it is also ok to just enumerate the 5letter word by the user's input and the script automatically put a 4 number series starting from 0001 to 9999.

Jenny files should be 867-5309...

Hi all,
im writing a simple BATCH file which echo a statement to an output file and for some REASON if path for the output file is not available, I want the error to be sent to another file.
My batch file script looks like this.

echo test > "path for output file " 2> "C:\test\output.err"

When I run above batch file it fails with error "The system cannot find the path specified." which is fine, however I want to capture this error and send it to C:\test\output.err which is not happening .
Can someone shed light on this?First, did you read this?

I recently helped someone reset there lost admin PASSWORD on a local account Windows 10. I found this website and followed it successfully.
 http://www.pcworld.com/article/2988539/windows/if-you-forget-your-windows-admin-password-try-this.html.
I don’t know if I’m in the right place to get answers for my questions but I would appreciate it if someone would take a look at this. To make this short I’ll cut to the meat of the issue.  After booting from a usb and opening cmd the first command lines are
X:
Cd windows\system32
Ren utilman.exe utilhold.exe
Copy cmd.exe utilman.exe
Exit
My first question is, why did we rename utilman.exe utilhold.exe? Second question is, if utilman.exe has a different name then why did we copy cmd.exe to the old file name utilman.exe? I would assume utilman.exe only exist with a different name, maybe that’s not so.
This is the commands to put things back to normal. I haven’t applied this so I can’t say this works yet. 
X:
Cd \windows\system32
Copy utihold.exe utilman.exe
Exit
OK here we go. I ran this command windows\system32 dir /p, and both files utilman.exe, and utilhold.exe do exist.  So what did we do with the last copy command line? Did we copy the contents of utilhold.exe into utilman.exe, simultaneously deleting utihold.exe and the old contents of utilman.exe w/cmd.exe? I’m not very experienced with using Dos command lines so some of this is a little confusing. If someone could maybe spell this out to me it would be very much appreciated.
Thanks
Mike
It is a trick. The program is used for another purpose in Windows.

Utilman.exe is a built in Windows application that is designed to allow the user to configure Accessibility options such as the Magnifier, High Contrast Theme, Narrator and On Screen Keyboard before they log onto the system.

What I'm having trouble with is the mechanics of all the command lines. From what you are telling me the last command "copy utilhold.exe utilman.exe". Does that copy and rename the file back to utilman.exe? It looks to me like it just copy's utilhold to utilman but doesn't rename any thing.

without the need for an explicit piece of software that would just out right reset the password with minimal effort. Such a tool would only reduce the security of everybody else.

Is there any tools, batch or script that would allow me to point the location where all a users PST files are kept and will map those
pst files at one time rather than mapping each and every pst file one at a time.

(Example) If the users has multiple PST files mapped in Outlook where they store emails based on certain criteria, many of the users have 10, 20 and 
                 even 50 individual PST files mapped in Outlook. All of the users PST files are store in COMPUTER local drive.

Does anyone know is there such a freeware utility, or is there any batch and script file to be ABLE to execute the task?

Seen this DONE with group policy... more at the link

https://www.msoutlook.info/question/370DaveLembke, as I does not wish to modify group policy in registry. I would like to map all user email archives from outlook at one time, rather then having to map every email archives one at a time.

Any ideas how can this be done.

  Group Policy would allow for you to make 1 change to group policy that affects all users as part of that group. No registry hacking at each computer required. When they login to the network and inherit group policy they will be mapped to the same location. You would not have to do this one at a time, users just would need to reboot COMPUTERS and when logging back on the new policy takes affect and problem solved. The link I shared shows many ways of pulling this off not just with GP.

Setting the default via Group Policy

In a corporate network environment, setting the default location for pst- and ost-files is usually something you want to set via Group Policy. You can find the setting under:

Microsoft Outlook <version> –> Miscellaneous-> PST Settings

    Default location for OST files
    Default location for PST files

When your users use multiple computers for which the location of the ost- or pst-file should be different as well (for instance, the location for these files should depend on whether they use a Desktop or a Laptop computer), then you can either place these devices in separate OUs and assign the different policies at OU level or place them in separate groups but in the same OU and use Group Policy filtering instead.

I would like to format my CF card into a bootable media so that my system image file, VxWorks, can be started up by BIOS after power on. Long time ago, I did it by DOS command: "format f: /s". It's very simple. But now, it doesn't work at Windows 7. I even used Computer Management tool to format it, but I can't find the option of 'system'. The formatted CF card is not bootable even I copied my system image into it. Let me know how I can do it.You need to use a tool that creates a bootable USB drive.

RMPARTUSB is one such tool.  I haven't tried a CF card using that but you can have a shot.If your expecting to run an OS off of that card good luck...I use the " HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool" for Win7, I use V2.1.8 but a v2.2 is available for download.

This tool formats USB storage devices, I put the CF card in a SanDisk USB reader and run on a Win7 machine. The option is OFFERED to make the card Bootable, move the files required into a subdirectory on the Win7 machine. I format the CF card as FAT-32, and use Win98se booted into realmode via bootgui=0 in MSDOS.SYS. The cards boot on a VortexDX embedded processor, then runs PharLap in protected mode. Reference:

In November 2010, SanDisk, Sony, and Nikon presented a next generation card format to the CompactFlash Association. The new format has a similar form factor to CF/CFast but is based on the PCI Express interface instead of Parallel ATA or Serial ATA.[10][11] With potential read and write speeds of 1 Gbit/s (125 MByte/s) and storage capabilities beyond 2 TiB the new format is AIMED at high-definition camcorders and high-resolution digital cameras, but the new cards are not backward compatible with either CompactFlash or CFast. The XQD card format was officially announced by the CompactFlash Association in December 2011.[12]

Hi,

I am trying to figure out how to use (or more preferrably, install) FreeDOS onto a Wyse WT1125SE thin client. I want to make it into a tiny compact DOS computer for playing some games on.

I cracked mine open and noticed it had a 44-pin IDE port on the board, but with nothing attached to it. Should I spend more money and buy an SD to 44-pin IDE adapter, install FreeDOS on that, and try to boot from it? I don't know how to boot from USB or go into the BIOS to try installing FreeDOS that way. I'm not even sure this is possible at all. I'm really hoping it is being that I SPENT a lot of money to get mine and I don't want to go through the hassle of shipping it back.

Thank youHow much did you spend ? ?
I went to the spec site and couldn't find out if it'll even boot to USB which you would need to do what you wish...
I would contact the manuf. before you go spending any money from here out...I personally would never use a thin client for such a DOS gaming rig. UNLESS you found others online who have done this as a guide, your completely on your own with this hardware as for people avoid thin clients for an application like this. It might work or it might not. But if you get it to work, your likely going to have issues with no sound etc. Its more work to try to bend this hardware to work with DOS than it is to avoid a thin client for a system that will easily run DOS or FreeDOS. Thin clients by design are meant to connect to servers OFFERING a thin client service in which there is a boot string on the thin client or PXE boot over ethernet. The thin client you have that is lacking a drive is likely a decommissioned PXE boot type.

If you want a small DOS rig, I would go with a Intel Atom Netbook or ITX board desktop computer if going with somewhat modern hardware. With a somewhat modern system you could run the DOS games through DOSBOX. Or find an old computer that is rated as a match to the games you plan to play in which drivers for sound will be each to COME by etc.patio: I spent ~$50 on this, and I can phone the manufacturers tomorrow to ask them what they think.

DaveLembke: I've gotten an HP T5000 thin client from someone on eBay in the past, which had MS-DOS 6.22 on it. I wiped it and put FreeDOS on that one, and now it's got FAT32 USB support, making it incredibly easy to download DOS games, copy them to the flash drive and play them straight off of there. The only fault with it is that it's only got PC Speaker sound.

I feel that this might be possible, being that it's got an IDE port right on the board, but again, I'm not certain. Quote

I'm just ... brain dead. Here is what I would like to do.

I'm passing a video file to the batch file for conversion, but the is another file, with a .info extension that I need to rename, it's a text file with info of the video file in it which is matched to the extension.

Example, I pass superman.ts to the batch file and it's converted to superman.mp4 - I got that.

Now I need to take the existing superman.ts.info and COPY it to superman.mp4.info - (so there are two files) that's where I'm stumped as all I can pass to the batch file is the actual video file.

What I've come up with is a batch file that converts the video and then COPIES the video to superman.mp4.info.I see what your seeing I think your issue is you get the extra .ts for all .ts.info files to become .mp4.info:
Code: [Select]ren *.ts.info *.mp4.info

a .info extension that I need to rename

Now I need to take the existing superman.ts.info and copy it to superman.mp4.info - (so there are two files)

I edited my reply after I re-read your question.
Hmm, then I re-read it another time and my head imploded.  You asked for two different things, didn't you?

You said to rename the file and then wanted to have two copies of the .info file.
Based upon your details this should copy the info file to an mp4 extension.

Code: [Select]copy  "%~dpnx1.info" "%~dpn1.mp4.info"
and this will rename it.

Code: [Select]ren "%~dpnx1.info" "%~n1.mp4.info"

A lot easier and quicker  to copy and paste from the cmd window to the forum then making a screenshot.

You can see from your file listing that the file you are trying to copy does not exist.  So I am confused as to what you are trying to do.

I see what you are doing now.  You are trying to run the batch file with just the ts.info file.  The code you were given assumed you were processing the base .ts file and the copy code would find the ts.info file and rename it based on the .ts file name.

I didn't use the processing of the video.ts file as that will take 20 minutes - just to see if the info file copies.

How do I use the MS-DOS FOR COMMAND to parse a file whose name contains a blank?

Ordinarily, I'd surround the name with quotation marks, but this is interpreted as a string to be parsed, rather than a filename.

Thanks in advance.This is one way:

Hi,
I have a home theater pc and wanna clean the folder "m:\recorded tv" every day.
I'm searching for a batch file that deletes all xml files in this folder where no corresponding TS files exists.
For example this folder looks like this:
Video1.ts
Video2.ts
Video1.xml
Video2.xml
Video3.xml
Video4.xml

After the batch file was running the folder should look like this:
Video1.ts
Video2.ts
Video1.xml
Video2.xml

Video3.xml and Video4.xml are no deleted.

In the www I have found this

FOR %%I IN (*.*) DO IF NOT EXIST "%%~dI%%~pI%%~nI.ts" (del %%~nI.*)
exit

But that's not working properly.

Can someone help?

I have a batch file below from foxidrive that I use to delete *.CR2 files that do not have a corresponding *.JPG file with the same name. You could probably modify it to suit your needs.

Code: [SELECT]::Posted by foxidrive on another forum

::Put this batch file in with the folder that contains the .JPG and CR2 files.

if not exist *.jpg goto :fail
if not exist *.cr2 goto :fail

for %%a in (*.cr2) do if not exist "%%~na.jpg" echo del "%%a" >>!CR2_files_2B_del.bat
goto :EOF

:fail
echo Either the .CR2 or .JPG files are missing.
echo Make the necessary corrections. This batch file has failed.
echo Press the space bar to close this window.

it's working great. Thanks a lot.

Hi all,
I'm new in scripting and I'm working with a tool which is exactly like windows cmd. My INPUT TEXT file is :

    age=min;age_1D_param_min_64;meas_time =

My batch file READS the lines from this input and splits the lines by “ ; ” then executes a function with the token and age file from the second field and after all parses the output for the third line.
in the following you can see my current batch file:
 
    setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
    for /f "tokens=1,2,3* delims=;" %%a in (input.txt) do (
   REM create token file
   echo.%%a>current.tok

    sinoparam -p D:\product\%%B 0x0100001F current.tok> out.txt

    for /f %%y in ('findstr /C:"%%c" out.txt ^| sed "s/.*%%c .............. )do SET RESULT=%%y

    echo.%%a;%%b;%%c;!RESULT!>>finaloutput.csv
    )
    GOTO :EOF
now I have problem with one string in out.txt which is the result of executing my function:

    meas_time =31.9999
in my batch file I want to do the followings:

 1.find the value in string dActual_age =31.9999 by findstr/C

 2. if the value is lower than 1000 round it and show the result

 3. if it’s greater than 1000 first divide it by 32 and then round the result

Does anyone know how I can do this ?
thanks for any help!
HOdaHomework?scripting questions are not answered here?
We just don't think we're doing you any favors by doing your homework for you. On that note, I'm going to LOCK this thread.

Introduction.
A small little micro SD card could hold hundreds of MP3 files of songs at last perhaps two or 3 min. each. Using a single card for just one album seems to be a waste of space. And the amount of time it takes to erase a dozen songs and then copy over a dozen songs can be more than just a minute or so. These cheap SD  cards are rather slow when doing write operations. It should be faster to just change the filename itself rather than a erase all and copy a new files.

Now comes the headache.

Use a batch file as a midwife to a playlist.
That's the best I like to think of.

I have a small MP3 player that does not pay attention to playlists. It just simply plays any and all MP3 files it can find on the micro-SD card. Now if I had something like an iPod, this would not be a problem because I'm iPod would recognize a playlist. But this cheap little device does not recognize a playlist. But the reason I like to use it is because it's small and portable and cheap but with very good sound from the tiny speaker. In fact, it has better sound than I get from my smart phones and my tablets. So I prefer it for pleasant background music while I am laying in bed or otherwise relaxing.

Now the obvious thing to do would be to have a separate SD  card for each music collection I would like to listen to on this little gadget. But that seems to be a waste of something. The little tiny SD  card has so much capacity that it seems to be a waste to have separate cards for my separate playlists. There should be some way to just change the playlist on the little card. Alas, this little player doesn't have any idea about what playlists can do.

So I got the idea of making a batch file that would serve as a midwife. The batch file could change the extension names of the files that I didn't want to hear & keep the MP3 extension for the files I want to hear tonight.
Does that make any sense at all? Let me do an example.(Small for clarity.)
Let's say I named nine files like this:
song1.mp3,  song2.mp3, ,song3.mpx
song4.mp3,  song5.mp3, song6.mpx
song7.mp3, song8.mpx, song9.mpx
From the above, the player would only play songs:
1, 2, 4, 5, 7

So I need a way to have a BAT file rename the files to match the playlist I want. Of course, the player does not do batch. But I would put the card into my PC, run a quick batch and then put the car back in the player.

Once I get it to work, I  will load  the card with 100s  of songs and make ma five playlists for the genre I want for morning, noon, afternoon, night and whenever.

I will give myself two weeks to do this.
Will I be able to do this?
Thanks for your help.I just use Better File Rename for renaming like this. But that costs money. Question I have is, do you want to have control over what plays in which order? If so then i would think this would be a manual file rename process. A batch might work well then to prompt you with say the file that is to be renamed asking you what number to prepend to the name so say you have...

Paint it BLACK.mp3
Gimme Shelter.mp3
Jumping Jack Flash.mp3

But you want it to play in the order of

Jumping Jack Flash
Paint it Black
Gimme Shelter

The way I see it the batch would run alphanumerically through the directory listing so the first file up to prepend a number to would be Gimme Shelter with G being before J and P. You then would at the prompt of what value to prepend give it 3 the batch then renames Gimme Shelter.mp3 as 3_Gimme Shelter.mp3 and places that into a different completed work folder. Next the batch would grab for rename would be Jumping Jack Flash, and SINCE you want that first you would give it the value of 1 to prepend to the name, so it renames Jumping Jack Flash to 1_Jumping Jack Flash.mp3 and then finally it gets to the last file alphanumerically in this same directory Paint it Black, and since you want it to play second you give it a value of 2, in which the batch renames it to 2_Paint it Black.mp3

so in the end you have

1_Jumping Jack Flash.mp3
2_Paint it Black.mp3
3_Gimme Shelter.mp3

I already do a process like this manually for the 256MB old obsolete USB stick that keeps working and make up custom play lists this way via prepending renames. I havent taken the time to code anything up yet, but it seems pretty simple. Im not that great with batch and maybe someone here will run with this prepending file name with custom value added to prepend for you. I like adding a value and a underscore before the title of the song as for on the car stereo display it looks so much better than the value bound tight to the title like 2Paint it Black to me just looks too sloppy so add a underscore and make it look better. I guess I am picky that way. 

*Also to note, your method doesnt retain the order with different file names with an appended numbering system. Appended ordering only works with files of the same name. So if you want to keep the title of the song in the file name, its best to prepend a value to them. 

Locked out of editing last post, but did some quick searching and found this:   for f in *.md; do mv "$f" "test - $f"; done

This adds test - before every file name of all .md file extension files as indicated by the wildcard *.md

 If you had a batch in a loop with a counter you could pass the counter value within the "test - $f"; instruction and have 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - and so on prepended until complete. However you wouldnt have any control of what files are in what order with a loop. But if prompted what to pass to this field, then maybe that would work to allow you to see what file is up at bat and give it a number for order that you want it placed with others.

Hi to everyone,
I have an issue I need to recovery info from a floppy disk (1.44MB). This floppy was compressed with doublespace (in my opinion) and there is also a label on the floppy with this text: "1.8MB". UNFORTUNATELY who compressed floppy can not help me anymore. I have MS DOS 6 and 6.22 (bought in a flea market) emulated with vmware. I have TRIED a little bit but I need help to understand the right procedure that i must follow.

I hope that someone can help me because i'm not so good with MS DOS.

Thx in advance

RytxRytx, the compression issue can be a problem for anyone. Notice what the following has to say about the compression progrm once used.
Reference:

Microsoft's decision to develop DoubleSpace and add it to MS-DOS was probably influenced by the fact that DOS-based operating systems from other manufacturers (IBM and Novell) had started including disk compression software in their products.[citation needed]

Hello,

I DOWNLOADED FreeDOS website delted by allan(FreeDOS-1.1-memstick-2-2048M.img.bz2 was the one I chose) and put it on a USB drive. It works great, but the system is halted twice during the boot; first time it says press Enter to start FreeDOS, and second time I get three options about which drivers to load. Is there any way to bypass these stops? Any kind of setting so that it starts FreeDOS automatically and I don't have to press Enter, and then set it to automatically select option 1 when it asks about drivers?
I would like my FreeDOS to boot automatically without these halts.
Let me know if this is possible and what I would need to do. Thank you so much for reading!The main site for Free Dos:
http://www.freedos.org/

If that USB boot package is not working the way you want, you could CONSIDER some other USB boot package  for FreeDos.
This MIGHT help:

How do I install FreeDOS?
It's easy to install FreeDOS. To install, simply download the FreeDOS install CD image. Write this to a blank CD, and boot your computer with it. The automated install program should walk you through the REST. If you need help, please read the FreeDOS Install HOWTO (this is for VirtualBox, but should apply to any PC.)
Several computer VENDORS may pre-install FreeDOS on new computers or provide FreeDOS on CD-ROM.

Okay so I coudnt find any solution about this on internet or at least none of the 'fixes' helped me. Here is detailed thing about what happens when I launch .bat (check pic bellow),
Even though this is the simplest 'code':
echo off
echo Hello
pause
I get that error message everytime..
I dont know what to do anymore, I've tried to UPDATE java, to change ENVIRONMENT variables, even update registry with supposedly batchfix.reg FILE ( dont worry I've backuped registry before doing this) and none worked, I really hope you can help me out
P.S. I started hello.bat through cmd because when starting it by double click it starts cmd for a second showing this message and closes itself right after!

Thx for quick response...

but please suggest where i have to put hours like 1, 2 or 3 after that this batch file auto execute and create different log file from the PREVIOUS one.Explain what you need to do again.we want to create a batch file that -

1. Should run automatically after 3 hours
2. will run tracert & print out their RESULTS with date & time.
3. when same batch run after 3 hour then it should create another file for that tracert report with date & time.

hi, i am new user of windows batch script. I am having problem to write a script to automate the repetitive programme. In the batch script, I need to the replace the input filename by another filename, can it be read directly from the filename itself or we do need to specify in the script? Because there are a lot of files, I can't specify ONE by one. Anyone can help?
Thank you.Are you saying you have a list of file names you need to process with a program?

Please post any code you have so far so we can understand the context of what you are trying to accomplish.ECHO off &setlocal
set "SEARCH= "xyz"
set "replace="abc"
set "textfile=text123.txt"
set "newfile="text321.txt"


(for /f "delims=" %%i in ('findstr /n "search" "%textfile%"') do (
    set "LINE=%%i"
    setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
    set "line=%line:xyz=abc%"
    echo(%line%
    endlocal
))>"%newfile%"

Thanks for your reply, Squashman. This is the code I am still trying on. YES, I have a list of filenames which need to goes through the same process, so required to replace the filename in the batch one by one and produce a bunch of output files. Is it possible to do that? I've tried to replace just the filename in the script and save to a new file but it is failed. Can you help me on these? I have no idea how the batch script work and still trying hard to learn. Thank you.

I'm attempting to execute a bat file which SETS a variable and then have that
variable available to a second bat file. So I set up a test..
TEST0-BAT.BAT RUNS  TEST1-BAT.BAT WHICH IN TURN RUNS TEST2-BAT.BAT

My issue is I'm not getting anything in TEST1-BAT for the variable - Timestamp3
which is set in TEST2-BAT.BAT. The echo stmts. in TEST2-BAT appear to show all
variables are set correctly,

I'm running WIN. 10 XP.

Anyone have any ideas / advice ?

thanks


TEST0-BAT CONTAINS:
   TEST1-BAT.BAT > TEST1-BAT.OUT 2> TEST1-BAT.ERR

TEST1-BAT.BAT CONTAINS:
   TEST2-BAT    > TEST2-BAT.OUT 2> TEST2-BAT.ERR
   FOR /F "tokens=*" %%i IN ('TEST2-BAT.bat') DO set Timestamp3=%%i
   echo %Timestamp3%
   ren testX.txt "TESTX-%Timestamp3%.txt"

   
TEST2-BAT CONTAINS:
   echo off
   cls
   echo Date format = %date%
   set "dd=%date:~7,2%"
   set "mm=%date:~4,2%"
   set "yyyy=%date:~10,4%"
   echo.
   echo Time format = %time%
   set "hh=%time:~0,2%"
   set "min=%time:~3,2%"
   set "ss=%time:~6,2%"
   echo.
   echo Timestamp1 = %date:~7,2%_%date:~4,2%_%date:~10,4%-%time:~0,2%_%time:~3,2%_%time:~6,2%

   echo Timestamp2 = %date:~7,2%-%date:~4,2%-%date:~10,4%-%time:~0,2%_%time:~3,2%_%time:~6,2%

Fix your capslock 1st...How about using the BB code tags.I'm fairly new to DOS..... so I have no idea what your reference to 'fix your capslock 1st'  MEANS...

Be that as it may... I've done more testing and have solved my issue... thanks Quote from: BRIANH on January 05, 2017, 03:38:04 PM

Hello,

I want to start by saying that I have searched for this topic everywhere and could not find help for my specific problem. Also, I am not well VERSED in computers. I am working with a NIXSYS NX-i90 system, NX853 Intel p4 CPU Motherboard with Legacy OS Support and MS DOS 6.22. This computer was custom made to work with an older instrument my research group USES. I had to install a cd-rom drive and the driver to go with it. I am pretty sure I did this correctly as, when I turn on the computer, it recognizes the cd drive and it recognizes the cd when inserted.

The problem I am having is when I try to install the instruments software onto the computer. I have a cd with the backup files that I extracted and I am only able to copy some of them to the hard drive, it stops at a point and the prompt "CDR101 not ready reading" comes up, this is followed by a question to abort, fail, or end? I really don't know what is going on, I have checked all the cables and they seem to be connected properly, I am able to access the D:\ drive and the cd-rom drive is recognized, so I don't think the drive is bad, the only thing I can think is that I am installing the backup files incorrectly? Again I cannot find much help with this issue, my schools IT department is not versed in DOS, so I thought I would try a forum.

Any help will be greatly appreciated. Please let me know if you need more information.

Thank you for your time
Sam
I would try to determine if the failure to transfer data is due to the disk or the drive. Can you copy all of the disk contents by inserting it into a modern computer's optical drive and trying to copy the disk contents to a folder on that PC's hard drive? If this gives an error, inspect the disk carefully for blemishes, scratches, dirt, etc. if you decide to clean it, do so very carefully, especially if this is your only backup  disk. if the disk is really old, it may have deteriorated. If a copy operation is successful, you could try BURNING another disk.

Is the CD-ROM drive a known good one? If it is old, maybe use of a lens cleaning disk could be worth a try. Or a different drive.

I presume it is an IDE drive? You should inspect the data cable carefully for signs of damage such as cracking. Are the connectors fully inserted? If it is an 80-wire cable try a 40-wire one. In any case try to find a different cable. Grab the OakRom CD drivers...and follow This guide...Thanks for the input. I will try the suggestions and reinstalling the driver using the OakRom CD driver and let you know how that works.
Bring us good news on that old dinosaur... No good news as yet. I am thinking my problem is my cd drive. The model is a SONY dru-190a. I think this is an atapi drive not an ide, though I really don't know the difference between these drives. Could this be the reason I am having trouble? Now I am having a hard time finding a good driver to use. I tried the oakrom cd driver, but had no luck. The bios still shows the cd drive as being there but I cannot access the drive itself.
I don't know if anyone has other ideas. I will be trying another cd drive in the next few weeks, but I just WANTED to give an update. This is a project I am working on after my others so it may be a while before I spend a lot more time on this.
Thanks for the help so far
SamEvery "IDE" CD-ROM drive is an ATAPI drive.

How are you trying to use the OAKCDROM.SYS driver? You need to both include a DEVICE or DEVICEHIGH command in config.sys as well as make the device accessible through MSCDEX.EXE.

config.sys:
Code: [Select]DEVICE=C:\OAK\OAKCDROM.SYS /D:OAKCD

autoexec.bat:
Code: [Select]MSCDEX /D:OAKCD
I did that for the config.sys and autoexec.bat, but when I insert the cd and try to access the d drive, it says it's not specified. If you watch the b oot sequence when it loads MSCDEX it should indicate what drive letter it was assigned to.

You'll have to provide the specific command you entered and the exact error message you receive.

May I ask why he wants to have a CD with DOS 6.22?
That OS was intended for diskette drives.
DOS 6.22 does not have a need for a CD-ROM.

EDIT: He could use a modified DOS 6.22 that has CD support built-in.

A MS DOS 6.22 CD ISO  is found in various placers.

Modifying some code I found.  Basically I am parsing a directory and subdirectory filelist out after a date and writing the INFO to a text file to use as input into 7 zip.  I was going to use forfiles when I found out that one can not exclude directories when using -s.  My problem is echoing out the file date using echo %%~tF.  I get a BLANK line.  or with other variants I get the colon . I am missing something here.  I got stuck on the echo.

Current version of code:

echo off
for /D %%D in ("c:\Docs\*.*") do (
    if /I not "%%D"=="c:\docs\outlook data files" (
::store current directory
        pushd "%%D"
::recurse through directory for file
        for /R %%F in (%%D) do (
 
   echo ok
 echo :%%~tF
         
        )
        popd
    )
)

The version gives:

ok
:
ok
:

Ultimately, I want to add an if to compare the file date to a date I specify and if >= echo file to the file list using something like : ECHO PATH\FILE>> "c:\test\ziplst.txt"Quick SANITY check... you want to find a folder under C:\Docs, called "C:\Docs\outlook data files", (which WILL be present?) and then echo the date and time of every single file in that folder, preceding each date with a colon? Is that right?



PLEASE use code tags.I initially looked under Help and Posting for how to insert code before posting.  I looked for some other general stickies, couldn't find one though. Help had a lot of stuff on POLLS, nothing on posting inline code in Posting.   Do you have a code tag format link?

Search seemed to be dyfunctional.  Perhaps I do not understand how to use the Search.  I did a search on batch and date and one on just date, got nothing returned yet in just going through the forum pages found a couple of threads on batch and date.. you want to find a folder under C:\Docs, called "C:\Docs\outlook data files"

C:\Docs\outlook data files   gets excluded from the search since there is a not in the compare.  %%D has current path & filename.  Started over and now have different problem.  FileDate var is getting set to last file's date in the Echo for all files.


Code: [Select]for /R "C:\test\" %%D in (*.*) do (
set FileDate=%%~tD
ECHO %%D:  CurFDate: %%~tD:    %FileDate:~0,10%  >>I:\tem.txt

)


output:

C:\test\t1.dat:  CurFDate: 10/15/2014 02:26 PM:    11/11/2014 
C:\test\t2.dat:  CurFDate: 10/15/2014 02:34 PM:    11/11/2014

C:\test\TestL2\t6subd.dat:  CurFDate: 11/11/2014 01:56 PM:    11/11/2014  Because you are not using delayed expansion.

I want to automate opening multiple files.

I can press CTRL-A, then Enter, but I want to put these two commands into a batch file to do it with one step.

I use a macro creation program called JitBit Macro Recorder in which I can do whatever I want and compile it as an exe and then CALL to the exe to run and run for so many TIMES and end or a loop until hot key to end it is run etc. You can record you activity and play it back or you can go in and manually program the list of steps and time delays etc. Very easy to use, but its not a free program. I bought it about 8 years AGO and whats cool is that the license is a lifetime license. I contacted them after activating the latest version and they e-mailed me a key that would work with the latest version when I proved that I OWNED a legal copy of their software from 8 years ago and showed proof of purchase since I saved the purchase info.

There are some free macro recorders out there to play macro'd events but the free ones I have had bugs with, so I decided to pay money for one that was well supported and far lesser bugs.Thanks, I'll give it a try
