Creating a Batch File on multiple iteration simulation.

[alienxxx]

Hi all.

I have made a Rainfall Simulation model which would run for varying hours ( like 4 hours or 6 hours as we desire).
The model will make various necessary input files and output files in one complete iteraration ( Say for the 1st hour) and again for subsequent iterations.
i have made a batch file for the 1st iteration where I can get the result for first 1 hour of rainfall. I need a batch file that would enable the simulation to run for 'N' hours through user defined input choice. N ( No of iterations) being the user defined choice. I suppose proper looping will do but I am not able to it.

My code as of now , looks like this for the first iteration ( and its working ).

Code: Select all

@echo off

mode 20,5

rem *** ALERT: Sleep for 5 seconds ***
ping -n 5 127.0.0.1 > nul

Please help regarding setting up a batch for the multiple simulation using user defined choice for no of simulation ( like N=4 or N=6).
Thanks.

Putting your code as a function, and using if command to check for the user if he input "N" or input "number of iteration" then pass that number to a for command that count and run the function.

something like that:

Code: Select all

IF /I "%~1" == "N" (
      SET "num=1"
      FOR /L %%A IN ( 1 1 %num% ) Do (
            CALL :function_name
      )
) ELSE (
      SET "num=%~1"
      FOR /L %%A IN ( 1 1 %num% ) Do (
            CALL :function_name
      )
)

Exit

Rem Put Your Function below here
:function_name
Rem Code

Goto :EOF

you said your code runs for 1 houre, that mean after it's done, it will eterate depending on the user input.

Also you can replace:

Code: Select all

      SET "num=1"
      FOR /L %%A IN ( 1 1 %num% ) Do (
            CALL :function_name
      )

with:

Code: Select all

CALL :function_name

it will run once then

Hope That what you meant.
