  • Batch File...

    From Shurato@618:300/50 to All on Wed Oct 23 11:42:00 2024
    What's wrong with this batch file? It only appears to grab the first directory, instead of all subdirs. Sometimes it doesn't even do that.. f

    for %%i in (*.) DO (
    cd %%i
    del shortlist.bbs
    for %%j in (*.zip) DO (
    pkunzip -o %%j file_id.diz %temp%
    set /p output=<%temp%\file_id.diz
    echo %%j %output%>>shortlist.bbs
    )
    cd ..
    )

    I'm sure I missed something obvious, but I can't figure it out. Can I not
    nest for do loops? This is to grab the first line of file_id.diz files, put the filename a few spaces, then the description into a file for my ftp server to display descriptions. pkunzip and set are working. It's not looping though.

    I've edited this some to specify %1 as the path determined and used that for the initial directory and the paths, removing the cd .. but that didn't seem
    to help any. It should have worked around the "." and ".." paths.

    It's not doing subdirs, so maybe I should remove that part and do it manually in each directory... There are several score of them...

    Hello Shurato!

    23 Oct 24 11:42, you wrote to all:

    set /p output=<%temp%\file_id.diz

    according to internet forums it needs CALL in front of SET.

    regards,
    Floris
