batch-file
HI all,
This is what i'm trying to do. I have a .bat file which takes in a argument which is nothing but a folder name. What i do first is go one level up (cd ..). Now in this directory i have 3 folders and each folders have sub-folders and have .class files in them.
What i want to do is recursively loop through the folders and get hold of the .class files. Once this is done i want to echo the target folder of the .class file as well as echo the name of the.class file.
So c:\temp\potter\myclass.class. I would echo out c:\temp\potter\ and myclass.
I'm able to do this by writing a separate bat file which works. But when i integrate this with the recursive function it seems to break.
This is what i'm doing:
:: call the junit classes... and save the results
echo step 3...
cd %1
cd ..
for /r %%a in (*.class) do set Var=%%a
echo Full file location %Var%
for %%i in ("%Var%") do Set CF=%%~dpi
Set CF=%CF:~0,-1%
:LOOP
If "%CF:~-1,1%"=="\" GoTo :DONE
Set CF=%CF:~0,-1%
GoTo :LOOP
:DONE
Set CF=%CF:~0,-1%
echo Folder Location %CF%
::cd %CF%
For %%j in ("%Var%") Do Set name=%%~nxj
:: -6 because of Quotations
Set name=%name:~0,-6%
echo File Name %name%
echo step 3 complete...
However i only get the output of one directory, while i have multiple directories having .class files.
This is the output i get:
step 3...
Full file location C:\NKCV\Project\MyActivities\6_Selenium\htmlTestCasesConve rted2JUnit\iexplore\flow2\testCase_app2.class
Folder Location C:\NKCV\Project\MyActivities\6_Selenium\htmlTestCasesConverte d2JUnit\iexplore\flow2
File Name testCase_app2
step 3 complete...
missing argument!
usage htmltestCaseLocation
for eg., "C:\NKCV\Project\MyActivities\6_Selenium\htmlTestCases"
Could anyone please let me know whats wrong here?
Thanks.
