hey,

Something like:

Code: Select all

@echo off
for /f "tokens=1,2,3 delims=/" %%a in ('echo %date%') do set foo=%%c %%b %%a
for %%a in (*.*) do ren "%%a" "%foo% - %%a"


Would append the date to the start of all files in the dir it is executed in.

Hi,

If you want to hide all the output from your first example do:

Code: Select all

reg query HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.php 1>nul 2>nul
if errorlevel 1 echo not found


1> redirects stdout
2> redirects stderr which is what the output of reg is in this case.

I would use seperate files for the report on each server, then type them all into one once they have all finished executing. To use the example: ==Multi.bat== @echo off del results.txt for /f "tokens=1 skip=3 delims=\ " %%a in ('net view') do (start d:\temp\foo.bat %%a) type *.output >>results.txt =...

More or less yes. Something like the following would work: ==Multi.bat== @echo off for /f "tokens=1 skip=3 delims=\ " %%a in ('net view') do (start d:\temp\foo.bat %%a) ==End Multi.bat== ==foo.bat== echo this is %1 >%1.txt exit ==end foo.bat== Note: 1) Use start rather than call. 2) Specify the full...
