Re: netsh Interface name store as variable
As Squashman wrote you don't have a match so variable AdapterName remains undefined. Looks like it does not work if variable AdapterName is not defined at all. Looks like IF fails if variable is not defined. Add set AdapterName=doesnotexist to the beginning of the code. set AdapterName=doesnotexist ...

Re: time sync errorlevel check
Try this:
You should treat the 'echo' and 'goto' as one command. You need parentheses ().
Saso
Code: Select all
@echo off
:loop
echo Attempting Time Sync...
w32tm /resync | find /i "The command completed successfully." >nul || (echo Sync Not Working, Retrying...&goto loop)
echo Success!!!!!
pause
exit

Code: Select all
:AppendFileLineToFile-args
Code: Select all
if "[%~4]" NEQ "[]" ( shift & GoTo :AppendFileLineToFile-arg )

Re: How to debug this bat file
So, did you try it? Does it work? Start here: https://ss64.com/nt/syntax-esc.html Escape Character ^ Escape character. Adding the escape character before a command symbol allows it to be treated as ordinary text. These characters which normally have a special meaning can be escaped and then treated ...

Re: How to debug this bat file
Been offline for a while.
Maybe you should remove this line
or add ^ infront of the problematic characters (, ), |.
Maybe there are more.
Try this and let us know.

Re: Macro for Dummies

Re: Faster batch macros
I didn't understand a thing Jeb wrote.
I tried to learn how to make/use macros. No luck. A 'macro for dummies' should be posted by someone who can do it.
