• Handling nmake errorlevel/return codes

  - by tlianza

  Hi all, I have an nmake-based project which in turn calls the asp compiler, which can throw an error, which nmake seems to recognize: NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\aspnet_compiler.exe' : return code '0x1' However, when I call nmake from within a batch file, the environment variable %ERRORLEVEL% remains set at zero: nmake /NOLOGO echo BUILD RETURNING: %ERRORLEVEL% If I control-c the nmake task, I do end up getting a non-zero ERRORLEVEL (it's set to 2) so my assumption is that I'm able to catch errors okay, but nmake isn't bubbling up the non-zero exit code from it's task. Or, at least, I'm mis-trapping it. Any help would be appreciated.

• Create a batch file to copy and rename file

  - by Estate Master

  I have little to no experience in writing batch files. I need to write one that copies a file to a new folder and renames it At the moment, my batch file consists of only this command: COPY ABC.PDF \\Documents As you can see, it only copies the file ABC.pdf to the network folder 'Documents'. However i need to change this so it renames the file ABCxxx.pdf, where xxx is a text variable that i would like to set somewhere in the batch file. For example, if xxx = "_Draft", then file would be renamed ABC_Draft.pdf after it is copied. Thanks

• Restarting explorer from a batch file only opens an explorer window

  - by Ben Hooper

  In one part of a batch file (kind of), I need to restart Explorer. I use the following method to accomplish this: taskkill /f /im explorer.exe >nul explorer.exe :: I have also tried: %winDir%\explorer.exe :: start %winDir%\explorer.exe :: start /b %winDir%\explorer.exe :: start /d %winDir%\explorer.exe (as suggested by panda-34) :: :: I've even tried delaying the above commands with: ping localhost -n 11 >nul Then this happens: explorer.exe is successfully terminated (denoted by the lack of taskbar and desktop) An explorer window opens, which I am left with indefinitely (see Image 1) I can only then restart explorer by manually starting a new process from Task Manager (Win + R doesn't respond), even though explorer.exe is actually already in the process list, strangely enough.. (see Image 2)   Now, I say "kind of" as I'm running the batch file from a self-executing SFX archive, created with WinRAR. When executed, the contents of the archive are extracted to %temp% and a user-defined bootstrapper (in this case, my batch file) is run upon successful extraction. The strangest thing about it, though, is that if you manually extract the contents of the archive and run the batch file then explorer restarts correctly. It only ever glitches when called from an SFX. I'm experiencing this glitch on Windows 7 x64.   Link to an SFX archive demonstrating this, if anyone wants it: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/27573003/Social%20Distribution/restart-explorer.exe Image 1: Image 2:

• How to make a batch file edit a text file

  - by William

  I got the code Set objFS = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") strFile = "C:\test\file.txt" Set objFile = objFS.OpenTextFile(strFile) Do Until objFile.AtEndOfStream strLine = objFile.ReadLine If InStr(strLine,"ex3")> 0 Then strLine = Replace(strLine,"ex3","ex5") End If WScript.Echo strLine Loop The strLine replacing part i can fix myself to use with my own purposes, but how do i do something like this so that it doesn't require the file's name, it just edits all text files within the document?

• Iterating through folders and files in batch file?

  - by Will Marcouiller

  Here's my situation. A project has as objective to migrate some attachments to another system. These attachments will be located to a parent folder, let's say "Folder 0" (see this question's diagram for better understanding), and they will be zipped/compressed. I want my batch script to be called like so: BatchScript.bat "c:\temp\usd\Folder 0" I'm using 7za.exe as the command line extraction tool. What I want my batch script to do is to iterate through the "Folder 0"'s subfolders, and extract all of the containing ZIP files into their respective folder. It is obligatory that the files extracted are in the same folder as their respective ZIP files. So, files contained in "File 1.zip" are needed in "Folder 1" and so forth. I have read about the FOR...DO command on Windows XP Professional Product Documentation - Using Batch Files. Here's my script: @ECHO OFF FOR /D %folder IN (%%rootFolderCmdLnParam) DO FOR %zippedFile IN (*.zip) DO 7za.exe e %zippedFile I guess that I would also need to change the actual directory before calling 7za.exe e %zippedFile for file extraction, but I can't figure out how in this batch file (through I know how in command line, and even if I know it is the same instruction "cd"). Anyone's help is gratefully appreciated.

• Windows batch files: .bat vs .cmd?

  - by Chris Noe

  As I understand it, .bat is the old 16-bit naming convention, and .cmd is for 32-bit Windows, i.e., starting with NT. But I continue to see .bat files everywhere, and they seem to work exactly the same using either suffix. Assuming that my code will never need to run on anyhting older than NT, does it really matter which way I name my batch files, or is there some gotcha awaiting me by using the wrong suffix?

• using alias parameters in window command prompt

  - by freshWoWer

  Source:http://jpsoft.com/help/index.htm?alias.htm Aliases can use command line parameters or parameters like those in batch files. The command line parameters are numbered from %0 to %511. (%0 contains the alias name.) For example, the following alias will change directories, perform a command, and return to the original directory: alias in pushd %1 & %2$ & popd when i run the above, my command prompt gives error saying %1 * Unable to read value of alias * '%2' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. 'popd`' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. if you use double quote instead, alias in "pushd %1 & dir & popd" it doesn't interprets the %1 when you execute the alias C:\abc\defalias Dumping all defined aliases for CMD.EXE. in =pushd %1 & dir & popd alias def wont work ---------EDIT------------ let me try some sample output with a simple echo alias D:\abc\defalias /? Usage: ALIAS [-v] [-p programName] [-f filespec] [ ] [-v] means verbose output. [-d] means delete aliases. [-p programName] specifies which image file name these alias definitions are for. Default is CMD.EXE [-f filespec] specifies a file which contains the alises. C:\Office\dev15alias out 'echo %1' %1' * Unable to read value of alias * C:\Office\dev15alias out backtick echo %1 backtick %1` * Unable to read value of alias * C:\Office\dev15alias out "echo %1" C:\Office\dev15alias Dumping all defined aliases for CMD.EXE. out =echo %1 C:\Office\dev15out abc %1 C:\Office\dev15alias out echo %1 %1 * Unable to read value of alias * C:\Office\dev15out abc ECHO is on. Problem is, both single quote and back tick produces error, while double quote wont treat %1 as variable parameter

• cscript - print output on same line on console?

  - by Guy

  If I have a cscript that outputs lines tothe screen, how do I avoid the "line feed" after each print? Example: for a = 1 to 10 print "." REM (do something) next The expected output should be: .......... Not: . . . . . . . . . . In the past I've used to print the "up arrow character" ASCII code. Can this be done in cscript?

• do's and don'ts for writing mysql queries

  - by nik

  One thing I always wonder while writing query is that am I writing most optimized query or not? I know certain things like: 1) using SELECT field1, filed2 instead of SELECT * 2) Giving proper indexes to the tables but I am sure there are more things that should be kept in mind for writing queries, since most of the database can only grow more and optimal query will help gr8 in execution time, Can u share some tips and tricks on writing queries?

• How can I check the mysql connection for a user/password using batch/shell script

  - by machaa

  Hi, How can I check the mysql connection for a user/password using batch/shell script? I've user name and password, and I need to authenticate whether they are correct or not, but how? I tried this way: I've created a batch file "run.bat" with "mysql -u User--password=UserPassword < commands.sql" "commands.sql" file contains "\q" When I run the file "run.bat" the output is nothing when User/Password are correct and "ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user ... " when User/Password are incorrect. Now can we capture this output, and decide whether the connection is successful or not, if yes how? Regards

• In what language was MSDOS originally written in?

  - by nebukadnezzar

  In what language was MSDOS originally written in? The Wikipedia Article implies either C, QBasic or Pascal, but: * C was invented to write UNIX, so I don't believe it was used to write MSDOS * Pascal seems popular to teach programming, but not really popular to write Operating systems in * QBasic didn't seem to be very popular for Operating Systems at the time MSDOS was developed (or was *BASIC ever very popular to write Operating Systems in it?) Except these three languages there is also Assembly, but I assume that Microsoft already switched from Assembly to a "higher" level language? Since C was originally invented for UNIX, I still wouldn't think Microsoft is using C... although the Microsoft API is written in C (I find this kind-of oxymoronic, actually). Can anyone enlighten me on this topic?

  Hi, I want to make something like this... :LoopBegin if ???? goto End some other work goes here* gotoLoopBegin :End The "????" part should be a check that a file exists with the name "exit.txt" for example.

• URL protocol handler shell execute problem

  - by Chuck

  Hi, I'm working on a small hobby web site where I'm able to launch a local app with certain arguments based on links. Setting up a protocol wasn't difficult, as described in http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa767914(VS.85).aspx, but I have one dilemma: Let's say the protocol is: foo:127.0.0.1:1111, so a link like href="foo:127.0.0.1:1111" would launch an app like: bar.exe "%1". Since I don't have any control over bar.exe (if I had, then it would be no problem to just parse it, obviously), I need some help parsing %1. bar.exe will launch correctly if it's run as bar.exe 127.0.0.1:1111, but not if it's run as bar.exe foo:127.0.0.1:1111. So I guess my question is... is there ANY way to tell the registry to pass on not %1, but a trimmed %1? (Thinking in terms of regexp where you have match[0] = all of the matched, match[1] = first capture in the matched text). I can solve it by having a .bat instead of .exe, but as I would like to make it as easy as possible for the user to use, I would LOVE it if I could handle it all stricly in registry. Any help is greatly appreciated! Chuck

• exit /B 0 does not work...

  - by murxx

  Hi, I have the following problem: I have created a batch script which calls itself in there (for being able to write a log in parallel). In the script I start another process (like start startServer.bat) which starts up a java process and keeps opened up all the time. In my original script I wait 30 seconds, check if the process is running and do an: exit /B 0 Unfortunately that does not work, the window shows that the exit /B 0 is being evaluated, but the window still keeps open. When I close the window with the other process (meaning the "child" processes started up in my .bat) my script continues its run. So: scriptA.bat - in there I call: start startServer.bat - wait 30 seconds - check is server is started - exit /B 0 Process hangs up! What's very odd, if I wrap another script around, like: scriptB.bat - call scriptA.bat ----- in there I call: start startServer.bat ----- wait 30 seconds ----- check is server is started ----- exit /B 0 - scriptA.bat continues without any hangup! I also tried the same with exit 0 (without /B) also, same result! In the first case it hangs up, in the second case my window closes as expected... Has anyone of you ever had such a problem before and knows what's wrong here? Process hangs up!
