I have a backup file which gets generated everyday with the same file name "contentstore.zip" and gets stored in a specific location C:\contentstore_backups. So each day, the previous copy of the file is overwritten.

I want to write a BAT file which renames the file contentstore.zip file to contentstore_currentdate.For instance, if today's date is 04/14/2009, then i want it to renamed as contentstore_20090414.
This way, we can prevent the new file from overwriting the old one.

However , after 7 days, I want the OLDEST file to get deleted , so that at a point I have only 7 backups in the folder "contentstore_backups".

Please help.Quote from: em on April 14, 2009, 08:49:36 AM

Please help.

Thanks for the inputs. It really helped me with the first part of my problem--renaming of the file with the date in it

The second part was:
Now for instance, for the next seven days every day we get a new backup file:
contentstore_20090414 ----taken on 04/14/2009
contentstore_20090415 ----taken on 04/15/2009
contentstore_20090416 ----taken on 04/16/2009
contentstore_20090417 ----taken on 04/17/2009
contentstore_20090418 ----taken on 04/18/2009
contentstore_20090419 ----taken on 04/19/2009
contentstore_20090420 ----taken on 04/20/2009

On the 8Th day, when we get a new file "contentstore_20090421" on 04/21/2009, I want the oldest backup "contentstore_20090414" taken on 04/14/2009 to get deleted.
This ensures that I have only 7 backups at any given time.

Since the files are named in this format, can we not sort the filenames and delete the file with the smallest name?

@OP, set a scheduled task to execute every 7 days. in your batch, you just specify dir ( with a for loop) to get the oldest file. check the dir/? for more info, or search the forum. (been posted many times).

Code: [Select]@echo off
pushd C:\contentstore_backups || goto:eof
dir/b contentstore.zip || goto:eof

>$$$.vbs echo wsh.quit year(date)*10000+month(date)*100+day(date)
cscript//nologo $$$.vbs

ren contentstore.zip contentstore_%errorlevel%.zip
for /f "skip=7" %%a in ('dir/b/on contentstore_*.zip') do del %%a

del $$$.vbs
popd
untested

Mine works for getting rid of the oldest one...as long as there isn't anything in the folder other than the .zips.
A combo of my previous code (for deleting the oldest file) and my new one (which does the renaming).

However , after 7 days, I want the oldest file to get deleted , so that at a point I have only 7 backups in the folder "contentstore_backups".

Batch Features:Answer:
bug fix:
for /f "skip=7" %%a in ('dir/b/o-n contentstore_*.zip') do del %%a

looks like the OP didn't come back here

helpmeh, it's logic error.

imagine the batch first running, and initially there is only one file contentstore.zip
dir /b /o:d C:\contentstore_backups > directory
set /p delzip=<directory
del C:\contentstore_backups\%delzip%
bang, there it goes, today content_store.zip which should be renamed goes into dos black hole.

ok, how about if the directory already contain 2,3, or even 4 contentstore_yyyymmdd.zip
everytime the batch is run, the numbers of backup will never increase. thus the requierment of 7 backups at any time is not fulfil.

the only condition where your batch will works is the folder only contain 8 *.zip file(s) -including the contentstore.zip to be renamed, not LESS, not MORE. and only contentstore*.zip, or else the batch code is buggy.

and date retrieving problem, .......

I know i can use the echo command to write something but that will enable me to write something with only one line, unless i use && or ^& but THATS only for if i'm WRITING ANOTHER batch file.

example code
Code: [Select]echo hello > hello.txt
My question is basically if i can write a file with multiple lines of text making it a simple text file?> overwrite file/create if not exist
>> append to filehttp://www.afunnystuff.com/forumpics/moresense.jpgCode: [Select]echo hello > hello.txt
echo hi >> hello.txt
echo does this work? >> hello.txtNotice the > in the first line and >> in all following lines.
The single > overwrites the previous contents of the file with what is before it.
Example:
echo The only line > file.ext

The double >> does NOT overwrite the previous contents of the file, but puts the text before it at the end of the file.
Example:
echo The last line > file.ext

Do you understand now?(
echo hello
echo world
)>a.txtQuote from: Prince_ on APRIL 19, 2009, 03:27:05 AM

(
echo hello
echo world
)>a.txt

like Helpmeh, you can move ">" to begin of your command.
> a.txt echo hello
>>a.txt echo world
>>a.txt echo does this work?

I want to write a batch file that calls a second batch file mutiple times. Each time the second batch file is called I need to pass different parameters.
For example:
export --configfile conf/FOOExport.xml --DATE 20090401 --period monthly --output ..\TEST\FOO\monthly
export --configfile conf/BARExport.xml --date 20090401 --period monthly --output ..\TEST\BAR\monthly
export --configfile conf/BOOExport.xml --date 20090401 --period monthly --output ..\TEST\BOO\monthly

When I run this only the first line in the file GETS executed then the batch file stops.
I tried using the CALL option and changed the file to this
Call: export --configfile conf/FOOExport.xml --date 20090401 --period monthly --output ..\TEST\FOO\monthly
Call: export --configfile conf/BARExport.xml --date 20090401 --period monthly --output ..\TEST\BAR\monthly
Call: export --configfile conf/BOOExport.xml --date 20090401 --period monthly --output ..\TEST\BOO\monthly

But when I do this I get the FOLLOWING error on all of the lines:
The system cannot find the batch label specified -

For each call to export in the file.

I know this has got to have a simple solution but I am a NEWBIE to doing this.

Thanks,
Bobyou should not have a colon after the word "Call".
You got it, thanks!
I KNEW it was simple.

Several times a day, you want to backup a file C:\folder1\catalog.MDB to C:\folder2\catalog &LT;timestamp>.mdb.

Why do I get the feeling this is going to be a long one?
one can use the longhand chdir to change directories as well. try using chdir in place of cd. if that works, then their is something stopping the shorthand version from working. If not Dias is probably right regarding a corrupted cmd.exe.I don't think cd is an alias of something else, as it works fine on directories of I: and C: disks until this I:\program_files case. chdir works same as cd
Code: [Select]I:\>chdir program_files
Invalid directory

Alithough mentioned already, I think still worth saying cd can work for a directory like I:\t_e but not for a directory like I:\eeeeeee_fffff.

I am not sure it is related that my I: disk is attached to a linux server via Network File System. So it is impossible to do chkdsk to my knowledge. Quote from: lehe on APRIL 18, 2009, 12:06:33 PM

I am not sure it is related that my disk is attached to a linux server via Network File System.

I am not sure if NFS is the issue. The same thing also happen on my local disk C. I.e., if I create C:\program_files, cd cannot change to it. Also cd can work for a directory like C:\t_e but not for a directory like C:\eeeeeee_fffff.

I am using command.
Yeah, changing to cmd solve the problem!
So cmd is not DOS but command is?

Within a Windows XP batch file I NEED to find a substring within a variable string and then do something if it is equal or not equal. Find and FindStr seem to only work with files so I was wondering just how to do this with a variable in an if statement.

in the form :

if %%G contains "command" (

echo a message

)

I have not been able to figure out how to do this in a batch file. 1. echo %%g|find "command" >nul 2>&1 && echo a message
or
echo %%g|find "command" >nul 2>&1
if not errorlevel 1 echo a message

2. i assume you are inside a for loop, and has setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
set a=%%g
set a=!a:command=!
if "!a!" neq "%%g" echo a messageHi, RENO
please explain what is %%g mean? ThanksQuote from: Geek-9pm on April 18, 2009, 11:34:22 PM

I am trying to make get a user to log in, so they can continue using the batch SCRIPT, but the login is failing in the second FOR loop...

Here is my code. List.txt is a FILE with about 30 lines, each different. The first word is a possible username, the second a possible password. No USERNAMES are the same.

Code: [Select]@echo off
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
set fname=list.txt
:looplog
set num1=0
set num2=0
echo Enter your username.
set /p usr=Username^:

echo HI!
pause
For some reason, the second FOR loop is not LOOPING...so it just keeps on going as if it didn't exist...I have no idea.
But, somebody once said,"If you can't fix it, Break it!"

So break up your code into pieces. See if thee is a way to get the second FOR thing in a BAT fioe by it self and see if it works by itself.

Asy you ALREADY know, batch files suffer from delayed execution. The first thins have not been done yet and it tries to do the next thing and the variables do not have the values. Breaking it into separate files might make it work. Or reveal what is wrong.Quote from: Geek-9pm on April 19, 2009, 05:50:49 PM

I have SCRIPT that will let you know all of software installed in your local machine by searching the key in your register.

And you ALSO can query software a network machine by using \\"pc-name or IP"\HKLM\.....
I tested to query a Win2k3 machine in my network. It is a virtual machine (VM) and network environment is workgroup. And you must have permission to run this script


Issue: when i tried to query a vista machine in domain using domain admin permission, the script met ERROR. But it was OK when i tried to query in that vista local machine
Sorry i can't attachment the error now (i am not at home now), i will attachment the error message later.
Thanks.


Update picture.
it seem not is domain or workgroup issue. I think the problem make my script run incorrect is different OS (vista). Here is the picture i try query soft from VM (win2k3 SP2) to host (Vista SP1 lastest update), 2 Machine in Workgroup


And host to VM

I disable all the FW, and use highest permission

I don't see how that enters into the mix at all.

If I'm trying to shut down my PC in DOS, why would I want to TRY to ping something?

Anyway, my SOFTWARE GURU came thru for me and I have just downloaded the "Shutdown.com" program in a zip file, along with full documentation.

I'll only post the link when I've had time to fully test the program.

Well, I just finished testing the DOS Shutdown program and it works a treat.

I'll post the link when I have more time to upload the zip file to my FTP Server.
Probably tomorrow.

But 1st December SATISFIES LEQ 30th November; and I see trouble ahead if the day NUMBER has a leading ZERO. I guess we'll find out in a fortnight.

Yogesh123 is comparing only the first 25 days of any month.

Yogesh123 does not compare Dec 1 with Nov 30.

It is possible 01 could be considered an octal number? Is octal 1 > 25?

so what if he doesn't do that now? When you write code, write it in such a way that it won't break easily when things happen. Its called code resiliency , by yours truly.

Gudday all
I wish to 1st create a list of known file names.
From that list, saved as file, open each file one by one to look at tokens 1 and 2 on the first line only for various patterns
I can create my file list ok
Code: [Select]dir D:\Archives\E20_120_AU\ArchiveCreator\Errors\*.spl /b > SPLfiles.txt
but I am having trouble opening each file in that list and doing the parsing.
I tried
Code: [Select]for /f "tokens=1,2 delims=" %%a in (SPLfiles.txt) do (
set full_line=\%%a\%%b
set file_name=%%b
echo Full line: !full_line!
echo File name: !file_name!
echo.
but that fails as it looks at the file names not the file contents.

Can anyone help me please?if you can use gawk for windows (see my sig), this would easy enough
Code: [Select]C:\test>gawk "FNR==1{print $1,$2}" *.spl
or, you can use vbscript
Code: [Select]Set objFS=CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
strFolder = "c:\test"
Set objFolder = objFS.GetFolder(strFolder)
For Each strFile In objFolder.Files
If objFS.GetExtensionName(strFile) = "spl" Then
Set objFile = objFS.OpenTextFile(strFile)
strFirstLine = objFile.ReadLine
s = Split(strFirstLine," ")
objFile.Close
WScript.Echo "first token: "& s(0)
WScript.Echo "first token: "& s(1)
END If
Next
output
Code: [Select]C:\test>more file.spl
token1 token2 blah
word1 word2 word3

C:\test>cscript /nologo test.vbs
first token: token1
first token: token2
I have something similar to this written on my laptop, which I did not bring with me to work today. However when I get home I will post it for you to see if it helps.

My batch reads in a file (it's only 1 token but could easily changed to however many you need) and then runs some command.Just another way of doing this.

Code: [Select]# Script tokens12.txt
var str filelist, file, contents, line1, word1, word2
lf -r -n "*.spl" "D:/Archives/E20_120_AU/ArchiveCreator/Errors" > $filelist
while ($filelist <> "")
do
lex "1" $filelist > $file ; cat $file > $contents ; lex "1" $contents > $line1
wex -p "1" $line1 > $word1 ; wex -p "2" $line1 > $word2
echo $file "\t" $word1 "\t" $word2
done
Script is in biterscripting. Save the script in file C:/Scripts/tokens12.txt, start biterscripting, run the script by entering the following command

Code: [Select]script tokens12.txt

The documentation of the lex (line extractor) and wex (word/token extractor) commands is at http://www.biterscripting.com/helppages_editors.html .

Did a little more experimentation.
I can now get my script to grab the 1st 2 tokens off every line in every .spl file.
What I really want to do is just get the 1st 2 tokens off the 1st line of every file.

Code: [Select]@echo off

setlocal enabledelayedexpansion

dir D:\Archives\E20_120_AU\ArchiveCreator\Errors\*.spl /b > SPLfiles.txt

for /f %%a in (SPLfiles.txt) do (
echo The file is %%a
set file=%%a
for /f "tokens=1,2 delims= " %%i in (%%a) do (
echo variable i = %%i
echo variable j = %%j
rem goto :finishgettingline
)
rem :finishgettingline
echo left loop after 1st line of the file %file%
)

I thought that if I put a goto to leave the inner loop (getting the tokens) after the 1st line was parsed then it would PARSE the 1st line of every file. Instead it just parses the 1st line of the 1st file then stops. The output is

Quote

The file is 20090619153310.SPL
variable i = SEW_AU
variable j = DEL_NOTE
left loop after 1st line of the file 20090619153310.SPL

Hi,

I'm trying to do recursive copy of a SRC folder to a DEST folder.
SRC and DEST both have the SAME folder structures (that is they have the same subdirectories, no matter how deep)

if file exist in DEST, rename it, then copy the SRC file to DEST
if file does not exist in DEST, then simply copy the SRC file to DEST

eg. SRC\subfolder1\subfolder2\file1.txt to DEST\subfolder1\subfolder2\file1.txt

the file1.txt (from DEST\subfolder1\subfolder2\) will be rename to file1.txt.bak, THEN file1.txt (from SRC\subfolder1\subfolder2\) will be copy to location DEST\subfolder1\subfolder2\

eg. SRC\subfolder3\subfolder4\file2.txt to DEST\subfolder3\subfolder4\

the file2.txt (from SRC\subfolder3\subfolder4\) will be copy to location DEST\subfolder3\subfolder4\


currently i have the this code, but it has problem, as that i can't get the name of the current folder, see below to better understand:

- - - - - - -

@echo off & setLocal EnableDelayedExpansion

set SRC="C:\main folder\"
set DEST="E:\main folder\"

pushd !SRC!

:: loop all directories
for /f "tokens=* delims=" %%p in ('dir/b/s/ad') do (

pushd %%p

set SUBDIR=%%p &LT;--------PROBLEM (don't need the full path, only need folder name?)

:: a list of files
for /f "tokens=* delims=" %%a in ('dir/b/a-d') do (
if exist !dest!\!SUBDIR!\%%a ren !dest!\!SUBDIR!\%%a %%a.bak
copy %%a !dest!\!SUBDIR!\

echo File name: %%a

)
popd
)

- - - - - - -

can someone help me fix my code, or if you can create some code from scratch that can do what i need, that'll be great too!

I want to create and write data to a CSV file from within a batch PROCESS for one of my ongoing projects. Can ANYBODY help me in this? I am very new to writing batch FILES and it WOULD be really great if anyone can provide me with the code.first you head down to here to learn how to do batch files. then come here if you encounter problems.

Dear Experts,

How to do this,

if token no 6 in abc.txt is LEQ current time, do echo %%a %%b %%c %%d %%e %%f %%g >> output.txt

abc.txt is =

set LDD=%LD:~0,2%
if %LDD% LEQ %Ctt% (echo %%i %%j %%k %%l %%m %%n %%o>> output.txt
) else (
echo No result
)
pause

please advise,i often see your posts. you should show what you have tried by now.Dear gh0std0g74,
as advised,
I have updated my post use a better language to do date comparison. eg in vbscript
Code: [Select]Set objFS=CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set objArgs = WScript.Arguments
strFile = objArgs(0)
Set objFile = objFS.OpenTextFile(strFile)
CurrentDateTime =Now
Do Until objFile.AtEndOfStream
strLine = objFile.ReadLine
s = Split(strLine," ")
t=""
For i = 3 To UBound(s)
t = t &" "&s(i)
Next
t=Trim(t)
datetime = Split(t," ")
mth= datetime(0)
dy = datetime(1)
thetime = Split(datetime(2),":")
hr = thetime(0)
min = thetime(1)
sec = thetime(2)
theyr = datetime(3)
strDateTimeInFile = CDate( dy & " " & mth & " " & theyr) &" "&CDate( hr & ":" & min & ":" & sec )
If DateDiff( "d", CurrentDatetime ,strDateTimeInFile ) > -1 Then
WScript.Echo "CurrentTime is earlier than strDateTimeInFile"
WScript.Echo strLine
End If
Loop
on command line
Code: [Select]c:\test> cscript /nologo test.vbs file
Can it be done using batch dos commands?
beacause i am not more concern about date comparison, comparison parameter could be no's also.nice

just one thing

Why use CDate and String concat? You could use DateSerial and TimeSerial; also, this will allow for the return type to be a Date, rather then a string. (although I imagine type coercion is making everything work as it is; you can never really be sure in different locales)

Code: [Select]
DateTimeInFile= DateSerial(theyr,mth,dy)+TimeSerial(hr,min,sec)

beacause i am not more concern about date comparison, comparison parameter could be no's also.

heh, i had always wanted to try using these 2 functions, but never really got to it. CDate is what i am familiar with so i just wrote the script without much thinking. But good call though.

Below is my batch script.

CODE: [Select]@echo off
rem character offset in command line
(echo TestStr&echo.)|findstr /o ".*"

rem character offset in file
echo TestStr>a.txt
echo.>>a.txt
findstr /o ".*" a.txt
I used the same string TestStr. Why return different offset? One is 10 while the other one is 9. See below.

Quote

C:\Test>test.bat
0:TestStr
10:
0:TestStr
9:

C:\Test>(echo TestStr & echo.) | findstr /o ".*"
0:TestStr
10:

C:\Test>pause
Press any key to continue . . .

what is the actual problem you are trying to solve?

there is this invisible character for each new line, costing 2 bytes. - 0x0d 0x0a

there is this invisible character for each new line, costing 2 bytes. - 0x0d 0x0a
...
for the above code, i've no idea why each new line cost 3 bytes

Three bytes? in the command line there is a space in front of the first item. Could that be it?

C:\Test>(echo TestStr & echo.) | findstr /o ".*"
0:TestStr

I'm new to this level of programing so forgive me if any of this is stupid. I'm trying to write a batch file that reads from a SPREAD sheet and does something based on an input.

I already got it reading and doing with:

for /f "skip=1 delims=, tokens=1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,12" %%g in (users1.CSV) do set choice=%%p


IF %choice% ==ONE GOTO ONE
IF %choice% ==TWO GOTO TWO
IF %choice% ==THREE GOTO THREE

Where %%p is a colum in the spreadsheet and chice is just a variable. However i want to change it so rather than entering this choice on the spreadsheet they are propted for it. i.e.

Press A for One
Press B for Two

Enter A or B

I started by putting :

for /f "skip=1 delims=, tokens=1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,12" %%g in (users1.csv) do CHOICE /C:abc

IF ERRORLEVEL ==2 GOTO TWO
IF ERRORLEVEL ==1 GOTO ONE


This worked for the first row on the spreadhseet but i can't GET it to work for the following rows. I get the prmpts to enter abc... for the number of rows but this dosn't translate into jumping to the code section, running the code and then repeating for the next row.

Hope thats clear, if you need anything else let me know. Full code bellow and spreadsheet is a csv file of peoples details.


@ECHO OFF
:BEGIN
CLS


ECHO Enter Letter for site:
ECHO a for one
ECHO b for two
ECHO c for thre


for /f "skip=1 delims=, tokens=1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,12" %%g in (users1.csv)do (ECHO %%g
for /f "skip=1 delims=, tokens=1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,12" %%g in (users1.csv) do CHOICE /C:abcdefghijklmno


IF ERRORLEVEL ==3 GOTO THREE
IF ERRORLEVEL ==2 GOTO TWO
IF ERRORLEVEL ==1 GOTO ONE
GOTO END


:THREE
ECHO YOU HAVE PRESSED three
GOTO END

:TWO
ECHO YOU HAVE PRESSED two
ECHO %%g
GOTO END

:ONE
ECHO YOU HAVE PRESSED ONE
GOTO END

:END
I'm just going to shorten your code. INSTEAD of listing every number from x to y, why not do this instead?
tokens=1-12

So thr correct syntax would be:
for /f "Skip=1 tokens=1-12 delims=," %%g in (whatever) do (
command a
command b
...
)

you can have as many commands as you like within the braclets. Thanks for the code shortening.

I have all these nics and thought about putting one into my 486. Thing is can I make it so that it is on a network or do I have to use something like novell or some KIND of NETWORKING os like that.you need the network drivers for the CARD. If the 486 has DOS you should select a NIC that has DOS drivers.


you'll be ABLE to use the NET command to setup shares and so forth.

The quotes shouldn't be required. Please not that you must escape the greater than character (as I did in a previous post).

Either no quotes at all or two sets. One set no good.

My tests on the attribute variable seemed to work but I will give your suggestion a try.

I am creating two dates in the format yyyyddd. I start by taking the year and multiplying by 1000. Then I have to add DAYS based on the month. If the month is March then I need to add the days for January and February. Then I add the day for the date in question.

For eample, suppose the date is 03/15/2009. I take the year and multiply by 1000 getting 2009000. The month is greater than 1 so I add 31 days for January. The month is greater than 2 so I add 28 days for February (yes, I do not account for leap year). The month is not greater than 3 so it falls through the rest of the "if" statements. I then add the current day. Now the date is 2009074.

The "if" statement for greater than 12 will never be true and should be deleted.

Hello every one

I just tried out one more THING and get stuck and needed ur help plaease help me regarding following issue.

I have a test.txt file like follows:
[.cpp file]
a.cpp
b.cpp
c.cpp
[end]

[.h file]
a.h
n.h
[end]

now i want to right the perl script which parser the file so that i can complie the .cpp file correctally.(i already have the method to complie it), and need to copy header files at one place(already have method for it)

just want to know how we can use CONFIG parser module in this.

Thanks for HELPIF you want to use a module, you can search CPAN. one of them is Config::IniFiles. install and play with it. read its documentation. however, you can also do it without a parser module.
Code: [SELECT]while (<>){
if (/\[end\]/ ){ $flag=0 }
if ( /\[.cpp file\]/ ){ $flag=1;NEXT}
$flag && print $_ ;
}

output:
Code: [Select]# perl test.pl file.ini
a.cpp
b.cpp
c.cpp

If i was to open explorer.exe is there anyway to switch between to two interfaces??? so for instance have my music on 1 and my work on the other. i understand this would slow down my computer but it would be great to know

Thanks,
KhasiarIm guessing you mean like in Linux where you can switch between more than one work spaces, and I'm also guessing this is to hide something and pretend you're doing something else (Excuse me if I'm wrong).

If I am correct, no, you cannot open explorer.exe more than once. Give it a try. It won't work. But you could simulate another Work station inside of yours using VMware.

If you have a good nVidia video card you can, but not with batch. if you are using XP follow the below link and down load the "Virtual Desktop Manager"

You can have 2 Explorer windows open and tile them vertically.



Or there are various free Explorer substitutes with multi pane layout options such as xplorer²

btw that picture is blank, are you talking about 2 folder explorers or actual user interface explorers

My solution:
Bring your HDD to another PC and install (it faster than install OS though network).
USB flash disk, and make it like bootable and have OS source install in it.

General
Welcome to our how-to guide for the ASUS Eee PC 901 and 1000 series notebooks. Please be sure to read our legal disclaimer before proceeding. As we have previously noted, we strongly suggest the purchase of the ASUS Eee PC 1000H due to its faster hard drive. However, this guide will work on any Eee PC 901 or 1000 series nettop computer.
We apologize for the delay in putting this together, however, it was well worth the wait. This guide benchmarks higher than any other process we tried, and it is completely stable. All functionality on the device works, except for sound and Ethernet (Wi-Fi does work very well).
Beyond that, read more to see the steps.
First, you will need a couple of things.
1) iDeneb 10.5.4. This is a modified version of the Mac OS X installer, which will allow installation on unsupported hardware. Due to legal concerns, we cannot provide you with a direct link. However, a BitTorrent download of it is available by searching on ThePirateBay.org as well as Demonoid.com.
2) A retail, licensed copy of Mac OS X Leopard. Please support Apple and don’t steal software. This guide is here to help you use Leopard legally. If you’re going to steal Leopard, please go to another web site… we don’t want to help you.
3) A USB 2.0 DVD-ROM drive.
Optional things that may help: A USB Keyboard and Mouse. If you have an SSD version of the Eee PC, you may want to use an USB Hard Drive.
BIOS Update
The Eee PC 901’s BIOS has a bug that slows down third-party operating systems. While the technical reasons are complicated, essentially the power management settings (ACPI) are incorrect inside the BIOS.
To fix this, we need to flash with a modified BIOS. This process is unsupported by ASUS, and if it were to fail, you may void your warranty. To protect your warranty, be sure to flash back to the standard BIOS before sending the unit in for any repair.
This step is optional, but recommended. It will greatly SPEED up the boot time of the Atom-based Eee PC.
You can get the update from the BIOS.mod page of osrom.net. To install the update, you can use the ASUS Update tool pre-installed with Windows XP. Alternatively, you can use the bootablew flash tools available on ASUS’s web site.
Steps to Install
Caution, keep in mind that this will erase all information on your Eee PC. Also, please check with ASUS to make sure you are running the latest version of your Eee PC BIOS before installing.
1) Connect the USB 2.0 DVD-ROM drive to the computer. Insert the iDeneb install disc. Power it on and rapidly press the F2 key.
2) When the BIOS menu appears, go to Advanced > CPU Configuration. Disable all three items in this sub-menu. Press Esc and scroll to the Boot tab. Re-arrange boot priority to have the desired drive boot listed first. Finally, Exit and Save Changes. Also, go to Onboard Devices in the BIOS and disable all four items (after we install Mac OS X fully, we will change these settings).
3) The computer will reboot. Rapidly press the Escape key until a Boot Menu appears. Select the DVD drive and press any key at the prompt to boot from the disc.
4) When the Installer boots, select English as the default language. Then, go to Utilities > Disk Utility.
5) Select the drive you want to install on. Go to the Partition tab that appears. Chose the partitioning as Mac OS Extended (Journaled). If you have an SSD-based system, chose Mac OS Extended (not journalized, this will improve performance).
6) Click the Options… BUTTON. Select the GUID Partition Table and click OK. Then click Apply to format the drive. Finally, click the red close button to exit Disk Utility.
7) Proceed with the Installer as instructed. When you reach the drive selection, chose the drive you just formatted. Then press Continue. Finally, on the next screen, chose Customize to select the correct packages.
Click the triangle to expand the patches.
Expand the triangle for Chipsets and check ICHx Fixed.
Expand the triangle for Kernel and check Kernel 9.4.0 Vanilla.
Expand the triangle for Wireless and check Broadcom.
Expand the triangle for Fix and check both FireWire Remove and ApplePS2Controller
Expand the triangle for Video, then the triangle for Intel. Finally, check the box for GMA950.
9) Click Continue and then proceed with the installation.
10) Complete the Setup Wizard which appears on first boot. Congratulations, you now have Mac OS X on your Eee PC!
Post-Install Drivers & Enhancements
So, you now have Mac OS X on your Eee PC. But, you probably notice that some things aren’t working. Namely, audio, graphics acceleration, and Wi-Fi all are not functional. In these next steps, we will install the drivers necessary to enable these features.
1) Download this installation set. It contains drivers and tools that we will use to perfect the installation. Credit goes to some of the staff at MoDaCo for helping to compile portions of the kit.
2) Extract the contents on your desktop.
3) Restart the computer and access your BIOS settings. Turn SpeedStep back on in CPU Configuration. Go to Onboard Devices and enable all four items. We are doing this at this time, to ensure that you have completed Setup Assistant. Doing this step before completing Setup Assistant can cause the installation to hang.
4) Run the AboutThisMac tool inside the folder that you just extracted. This will correct the processor identification in the About This Mac window.
5) Now, we need to install some drivers. Copy or move the Kext Installer utility to the Applications folder. Launch it.
6) Drag all the files from the Drivers folder onto the Kext Installer window. Enter your password, and allow it to begin. NOTE that if you left your password blank when setting up the Eee PC, you need to give your admin account a password. You can do this in System Preferences > Accounts. This utility will not run on an account that does not have a user password set.
7) When the Kext Installer completes, it will ask you to reboot. Restart the computer, and then run System Preferences > Energy Saver. You should now be able to add the battery status icon to your menubar (if it wasn’t there already).
One last part… setting up Wi-Fi. Download this driver from chipset maker Ralink. Install the Mac OS 10.5 version of the driver from the resulting disk image. Reboot when requested.
9) To configure Wi-Fi, first launch System Preference > Network. It will alert you that a new Ethernet connector has been found. This is actually your Wi-Fi card. You can rename the device to Wi-Fi, or leave it as is. Click OK, and close out of System Preferences.
10) Connecting to a Wi-Fi network is a bit different. Instead of using the AirPort menu bar, go to your Applications folder. Launch the new utility located there, called WirelessUtilityCardbusPCI. From there, go to the Site Survey tab, and press Rescan. You should be able to chose your wireless network and connect to it, by double-clicking on the network you want to connect to.

Conclusions, Work Remaining
Benchmarking this workflow with Geekbench, we scored a 910. That puts the Eee PC ahead of any PowerBook G4 (graphics aside), and within 9% of a 1.6 GHz Power Mac G5. All this in a machine that costs around $670 (taking into account the cost of the system, and the purchase of a retail copy of Leopard).
OBVIOUSLY, two things remain to get up-and-running on the Atom-based Eee PC. First being audio support. Second, built-in Ethernet. We’re working on it, and some limited progress has been made. While we can’t guarantee sound on the Eee PC, it certainly is the top priority right now.
On putting the Eee PC to sleep. Sleep works fine (if you followed the guide above). To wake the system, press the power button. Unlike a Mac, opening the lid will not wake the machine, only pressing the Power button.
Finally, as with any unsupported hardware, do not any Mac OS X system software update, or any Security Update from Apple, without checking here first. These updates can inadvertantly interfere with patches that we have run. Generally, if Apple Software Update does not require a reboot to install the update, it is safe to install. And, of course, stay tuned to MacEee.com, both for updates to this guide, and for complete Eee PC coverage.
Optional: Migrating to the speedy SSD partition.
Caution! This step is only for seriously advanced users. We don’t suggest it for everyone… most will be fine with running off the 8 GB SSD array.
We won’t go in-depth on this, as it is meant for experienced users. However, if you have an SSD-based Eee PC and want to move your OS X install to the 4 GB partition, it can be done. First, trim down your installation (preferably on a USB hard drive at this point). You can do this first by running Youpi Optimizer, and then by removing files that you don’t need from the installation. Be careful, as many files may be needed to boot the operating system.
You may want to backup your USB hard drive first, using Disk Utility on another machine. This will give you more flexibility to trim the installation.
Once you have done that, you use SuperDuper to transfer the install to the 4 GB SSD drive. Note that you will likely need to use a third-party tool to move the virtual memory spare files to the other SSD drive (since with only 4 GB, you will be low on disk space regardless).

My solution:
Bring your HDD to another PC and install (it faster than install OS though network).
USB flash disk, and make it like bootable and have OS source install in it.

My idea.
Yes Flash drive is RAM ... if you agree with me window PAGE file (swap partition in Linux) is RAM.

You want to put page file/swap file on a flash drive? That would kill the flash drive quickly.

Hey guyz, im trying to delete the copies of my songs in a directory. i got alot of files with the same file name and its annoying trying to delete one by one, eg.

1.mp3 1mb
1.mp3 1mb

like to delete all but one..

thanks
I'd move the one you want out of the directory, then empty the directory (del *.*). After that, you can move the one back.yea, thats OK with just 1 file, but im talking over 1000 with over 300 directories. you can see my problemNeed to get some idea of your directory TREE.Quote from: Khasiar on April 23, 2009, 11:16:04 PM

yea, thats ok with just 1 file, but im talking over 1000 with over 300 directories.

Hey guyz, im trying to delete the copies of my songs in a directory.

like to delete all but one..

ok. same file names in the same directory? possible on windows file system?

grant, here it is. code becomes longer with the additional feature, i've try my BEST to make it as compact as possible.
the below code will run version 1, if you want to run version 2, comment the line call:version 1 and uncomment call:version 2.

there is only one way to make to code more readable, modify it to become longer by using the usual syntax, eg lots of if else if else, set, for, etc.

I have a batch file that mounts a drive and runs various scripts on a network drive. Once the scripts completes the drive automatically unmounts. If the user clicks the exit button on the dos window I would like to unmount the drive. Do you KNOW how unmount a drive if the user exits the batch operation? Thanks MC


IF EXIT popd \\mynetwork

Why don't you just run the batch file in the background so user can't exit it by closing the prompt? Or do I not understand the problem?This is not possible if you MEAN "DOS" in Windows, SINCE that is actually CMD.

You can't unmount a drive in CMD.I have the mounting and unmounting working fine. Users test the scripts so they are allowed the flexibility to kill a batch if needed.

I just wanted to know if you can use

if Exit then do something...Oh i see what your using, Popd, haven't seen that in a while.

And no you can't check to see if the batch file closes then do something, it's not possible in batch.Alrighty thanks :-)you can compile somebatfile.bat to someexefile.exe wich will create subbatfile.bat. That subbatfile.bat will check if that compiled someexefile.exe is running or no yes, but if he means run whatever COMMANDS on program termination then thats not possible.

my office ip address is xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
subnet mask and GATE way is what ever that is putting by my senior but when i visit another office and this office ip change like yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy
can i preapre new BATCH file when i am at my A office than time i RUN that office batch file and when i visit another office at that time i run another batch file
in batch file automatically SET thats branch ip address by using netsh command

Script work fine, but i want it all automatic. I don't need to input anything . To make the script automatically, i think the first THING i need to know DHCP status of the interface. and then if DHCP is yes ----> run :function2, else run function1. I don't know how to get the DHCP status of an interface, how if machine have 1 interface and more than 2 interface?
Code: [Select]set name=lan

for /f "skip=2 tokens=1,2* delims= " %%a in ('netsh interface ip show addresses %name%') do (
set dhcpOn=%%c
goto :EndFor
)
:EndFor
if /I "%dhcpOn%" equ "yes" goto function2
if /I "%dhcpOn%" equ "no" goto function1
pause
this works for me, i dont know if it will for you Thanks, Devcom again.
i am not test your code yet, but i think it will work.
I know the command
netsh int ip show add
But i didn't know we can only display 1 interface by input the interface name like that
netsh int ip show add "interface name"Quote

Now the second thing is function2, it still request user input. Can we it automatic too? My solution is random a number between 1-254 and set to X. And then run ping command if it is request time out --> set X ---> done, Else loop random again. It will have a risk if there are a machine enable firewall.

for /l %%a in (2,1,254) do (
ping -n 1 -l %IPPart1%.%IPPart2%.%IPPart1%.%%a >nul

I am getting the following error message:

"BULK BILL.dsi" BULKBILL 834.dsi
The syntax of the command is incorrect.

This is the code that i am using
for /f "tokens=1-4 delims=:" %%d in ("%time%") do rename "BULK BILL.dsi" BULKBILL%%d%%e.dsi

This worked FINE yesterday afternoon several times. The only differnce is that las night the code was producing a FILENAME such as the ones below with the last four chars representing the hour and minute:
BULKBILL1702
BULKBILL1710
BULKBILL1807

Today the code is producing a filename that has a SPACE between the name and the timestamp, such as the error above shows.

Any IDEAS are appreciated.correction to the code:
for /f "tokens=1-5 delims=:" %%d in ("%time%") do rename "BULK BILL.dsi" BULKBILL%%d%%e.dsi

I had a 4 in place of the 5 for the tokens. However, it still does not work when i change the tokens to 5.Code: [Select]@echo off
for /f "tokens=1-2 delims=:" %%a in ("%time%") do (
ren "BULK BILL.dsi" "BULKBILL%%a%%b.dsi"

Hi there
Can anyone help me write a following batch file PLEASE?
I need a batch file which does the following
stops IIS on a remote server called "A"
change a .xml file within the folder on that server "A"
Call another batch file to execute a process
Rename a folder
Copy the same folder from another server "B" onto the above folder
restart IIS on server "A"

Please advice

My suggestion is to setup a VPN Secure Tunnel you then would be able to do what you WANT. VPN Tunnel is doable if you are SHUTTING down your own IIS Server. Any way other than VPN Tunnel Method would be asking us all here to do the hacking for you to attack someone elses IIS Server.

Please set up a VPN Tunnel and then come back if you STILL need ASSISTANCE to do this.

I'm new to the BATCH writing world so bear with me. I want the batch to open up a delimited text file and insert 6 pre-defined lines from another text file(the insert file will only contain the six lines to be used as a header). at Line 1 of the file. I've tried using the "type" command, but it is overwriting the existing text.

Can someone please point me in the RIGHT direction? type the 2nd file and REDIRECT to first (ASSUMING you only have 6 predefined lines)
Code: [Select]type secondfile >> firstfile

Thanks. That inserted the six lines.....but it inserted them at the end of the file.

I'm looking to insert them at the BEGINNING of the file.

Any ideas?Sorry.......I just reverse the files in the statement and that gave me what I need. Thanks for your help!!Info to use this:
firstfile (the file you want to put at the top)
secondfile (where the entire contents will be, but the original contents will be at the bottom)
temporaryname (no need to change it)
Code: [Select]@echo off
type secondfile>temporaryname
type firstfile>secondfile
type temporaryname>>secondfile
del temporaryname

(i Mistakely deleted thes bat files)

i want the command line for doin such a extraction....I was going to type "Hey, let me Google that for you", but I suddenly felt tired. Why don't you

1. Open the 7-zip File Manager (7zFM.exe in your 7-Zip folder)

2. Click Help

I'm trying to write a batch file that gets the IP address of a site using NSLOOKUP, when an IP is found it opens and launches INTERNET explorer using that IP address. Is this possible?

This is my code so far:

@ECHO OFF
SET /p var=nslookup
nslookup.exe %var%

Not sure how to pass the IP address BACK to the batch file so I can launch internet explorer with the IP address.

thanks
use the for loop. for /? for more info or search the forum for examples. the for loop is so important that you can't do things without it.can you post what do you get on cmd screen when you use nslookup ?? Try this:

Code: [Select]@ECHO OFF
SET /p var=nslookup
nslookup.exe %var% > temp.tmp
for /F "tokens=*" %%a in (temp.tmp) do set ipadd=%%a
start iexplore.exe %%a
del temp.tmp
Hope this helps
,Nick(macdad-)



@macdad

this is output from nslookup 74.125.77.103

Code: [Select]DNS request timed out.
timeout was 2 seconds.
Server: UnKnown
Address: 192.168.1.1

Name: ew-in-f103.google.com
Address: 74.125.77.103

Code: [Select]@ECHO OFF
SET /p var=nslookup:
for /f "tokens=1-2*" %%a in ('nslookup %var% ^|findstr "Address:"') do set ip=%%b
start iexplore.exe %ip%
should work
Thanks Dev, haven't worked with Nslookup that much... Thank you Devcom, the code you provided works perfectly.

Question: You have two Address listed. How does the for loop know to start displaying from the 4th line or 2nd address?

Code: [Select]Server: UnKnown
Address: 192.168.1.1

Name: ew-in-f103.google.com
Address: 74.125.77.103

thank you...Code: [Select]findstr "Address:"search for LINES that contain "Address:"

so output looks like

Address: 192.168.1.1
Address: 74.125.77.103

and then for loop takes second token (%%b) witch are ip's
but the ip we wont to get is in last line so firstly for loop set var to 192.168.1.1 and then to 74.125.77.103

thats all

Question is:
Can I use a bat file to change the mouse cursors.
Many people are confused as how to change the current cursors being used for their mouse icon.

Also, the scheme of the mouse - can I change that using a bat.
Is the scheme saved in some sort of notepad file? I don't know where the file is...

Well... How does Windows do it then?
Sure, there's a GUI, but it must be saving the information somewhere...
I mean... when you copy and paste a file somewhere, it's essentially just the, "xcopy" command done in a GUI layout...

Ahhh!!
More comments/help?

If I could just change it with a BAT file, it would be much easier.

I'm sure it would, but it ain't gonna happen. Once again, we ask: why do people think that batch files can do absolutely anything?

Do it in one EXREMELY complicated step, or about 3 easy steps.

Hi
I have created a BAT file, which i want to run at logon, which would hopefully call a .exe file, to get info back off the machine that the USER logs on to.

the .bat file and the .exe are located at
\\ourservername\SYSVOL\Marine\scripts\


here is the edit of that .bat file it shows that i want to run the lsclient.exe file
C:\WINDOWS\SYSVOL\sysvol\Marine\scripts\LSclient.exe miinvser

running that .bat file from that machine, works , but when incorporate it into a logon, its not connecting back to the server. how or what should i change in that, to make sure it conncts back to ourserver and is run sucessfully.
any help appreciated.

Thanks
Damien
What do you have as your current code, and did you put a shortcut or the bat file under the Startup folder in your start menu?Can you not just run the .exe from the server location e.g.:

\\servername\share\lsclient.exe servername

It all depends how COMPUTER savvy you're, and how comfortable you feel working around the computer.
UAC can be turned off, cmd needs just two more keys to be pressed.
The point is, if you're not aware of the above, you better LET them be.

I need to delete ONLY the first line of each FILE. The first line contains the text

I just WANT to write a script that will backup my documents, pictures, music, emails and desktop of my desktop to the server I just want to click on this script and back all of this information to the map DRIVE on the server any one can help me here to write this script.Hint:
use net use to map a drive.
use copy/xcopy/move to TRANSFER files to the mapped drive.
i THINK there is a simple methode you can also use his script or
ya can take a floppy or a ext.harddrive.
1. you have to set your hardware on your pc
2. you have to make a batch file
Code: [Select]@echo on

pause

the "';" is only for exemples
like H:/ or xcopy Dir games

Im currently working on a simple batch file for my computer class, and am STUCK on one part. the instructions are as follows:

"ping google.com and display results in ping.txt into the itsc1325 folder

display the WINDOWS ip configuration information into a file CALLED ip.txt in the itsc1325 folder

append the mac address and transport name to ip.txt

pause the batch file

display contents of the itsc1325 folder

pause the batch file"


the ping command and LISTING the ipconfig are easy, but i don't quite understand what is meant by transport name. what command could i use to display the transport name and mac address only, or possibly commands to list both individually?


Im not looking for someone to do my homework for me. This is only a small part of the assignment and I've finished all but this part.

Any help is appreciated.hint: getmac

May I but in ? OK, I will anyway.
Before you get too far, look this over.
