Antonio Sorry for the confusion. You are entirely right. Somehow the name variable got stuck in my environment and I had not noticed that when I experimented with your code. So I changed the code to solve a non-existing problem, but in doing so I showed that it can cause problems when a variable is ...

Antonio Your code gives incorrect output for the path: filename=c:\one\two\*\four\*.c path=c:.c\one\two\*\four name=*.c I have made a modified version: @echo off setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion set "filename=c:\one\two\*\four\*.c" @for %%A in (f_path f_name fname) do set "%%A=" set "f_path=%filename...

@echo off cls setlocal set "Str=ABCDE" set "StrTmp=%Str%" if not defined StrTmp goto :end set /a i=0 :loop set /a i+=1 rem extract last character set Ar[%i%]=%StrTmp:~-1,1% rem remove last character from string set StrTmp=%StrTmp:~0,-1% rem check if string still exists (has more characters) if defi...

Your batchfile does what you tell it to do. By using only the drive specifier and not specifying the directory on that drive you are saying use the current direcory on the sourcedrive and the current directory on the destination drive. That is not what you intended but it is how it works. Flexibilit...

The timeout command is never reached in your code. You end your code with the 'goto :eof' line which stops the processing. You can add a label before the timeout-command and change the goto :eof to jump to this new label. Or move the timeout-command to within the if-command so the timeout will be ex...

if /I "%~1"=="/help" ( ECHO Ausgabe Hilfe cmd /k ) else if NOT exist "%~1" ( ECHO Datei existiert nicht^! Abbruch^! cmd /k ) else if /I "%~x1"=="" ( ECHO Keine DateiErweiterung^! Abbruch^! cmd /k ) else if /I NOT "%~x1"==".txt" ( ECHO DateiErweiterung ist nicht txt^! Abbruch^! cmd /k ) else if /I "...

You are using the first parameter supplied to your subroutine in your subroutine.
But in the main batchfile you are not calling the subroutine with a parameter.

Place the redirect before the echo to avoid the trailing space in the echo command.

Your code creates variable valid_disks with all valid disknumbers separated by spaces. You test for valid disknumber by checking if the entered disknumber with a leading and a trailing space is found in the valid_disk variable. The first disknumber in valid_disk will not have a leading space and the...

You are halfway correct.
You have corrected the first "if not exist" but not the second one. There the errorlevel and errlev variables have to be corrected as well.

Your problem is that you are using %errorlevel% in a () codeblock. Because of the codeblock %errorlevel% will give the value of the errorlevel special variable at the start of the codeblock and not the errorlevel as returned by xcopy or robocopy. Change the line echo %errorlevel% to echo !errorlevel...

I have attached 3 adapted versions of Concatenate-DEMO-For batch file. Your version uses a for /f loop to save over endlocal. The -For version is the shortest. It uses a for loop and for-param to save over endlocal. The -NoFor version uses no for but escapes the linefeeds before saving the param ove...

You are using string-compare where you expect to do numerical-compare.

Examples:
if "2" LSS "10" (echo TRUE) else (echo FALSE)
False
explanation: "2 " > "10"

if "02" LSS "10" (echo TRUE) else (echo FALSE)
True

if 2 LSS 10 (echo TRUE) else (echo FALSE)
True

Wow, what a mess you have created. :? :cry: You seem to be incapable of reading/following the most elementary instructions! By starting with running the corrected code from Batcher you yourself have deleted the bookmarkfiles! This confirms that your problem file had no permissions problem. An attrib...

Yep, I am from the Netherlands and Dutch is my primary language so sometimes my English will have a 'touch of Dutch'. And my id at this forum is OJBakker, not OJBaker :lol: Your use of the term 'manually' is ambiguous. For you it apparently means: manually from the windows gui using windows explorer...
