another bad thing from the above code is that if the folder name as "factory download" it treated as ..\factory\download\.. instead of ..\factory download\.. The DELIMS option is using a \ and SPACE as delimiters. Remove the space. And I am pretty sure you have been told this before but I will say ...

Another best practice is to use double quotes for your string comparisons. If the variable you are comparing has any special characters or spaces, the IF command will fail.

Try to get in the habit of doing this.

Code: Select all

if not "x%endname:file1_xxxx_=%"=="x%endname%" command

You are forgetting about delayed expansion. The search, replace, newfile and textfile variables can be set outside the code block. No need to have them nested inside the FOR block. Shouldn't you be using %%G with the FINDSTR command? That is my best guess. I would think you would better understand y...

I would parse the output of the DIR command with a FOR /F command to get a listing of all the files.

Code: Select all

FOR /F "delims=" %%G IN ('dir /a-d /b /s contents.lst') DO........

Set /a a = 13 %% 5 I guess you misunderstood the previous comments in this thread. If you are running from a command prompt you use one percent symbol. Set /a a = 13 % 5 If you are running the code in a batch file then use two percent symbols. Set /a a = 13 %% 5 Look at Dave's explanation here .

Yes. Zero means it found it. Same errorlevel you would get if you were using the FIND and FINDSTR commands. If it finds the search string, the errorlevel is set to 0. If it doesn't find the search string the errorlevel is set to 1.

It still have a high rate of producing repeating results with successive calls in new instances of cmd (with both wmic and !time!) Hmm, I have let it run for a couple of minutes at a time and output thousands of results and have not gotten a duplicate when adding. Just reran a test using addition w...

Adding instead of multiplying seem to do the trick. I was roughly getting 674 strings generated a minute and when I was multiplying, I would roughly get 40+ strings with all zeros. When I changed to adding the seed, I got none. I tested two ways. REM Tested with these two lines set /a "hex=(!RANDOM!...

Digging up this old thread just because. I was commenting on a question at StackOverFlow that was now deleted by the user where they were using this code to generate a 32 character string. @echo off REM Delay in milliseconds for random number generator to recycle. REM pathping -p 2000 -q 1 localhost...

HI Dave - Thank you so much! Works like an absolute charm!!! Also, how come JREPL won't work if you use a variable for the file name? For instance, this doesn't work: PUSHD "%HC_EXCEL_SUBPATH%%HC_ACT_SUBF%%YYYY_MMDD%" FOR %%A IN ("*.csv") DO ( SET "NAME=%%A" FOR %%a IN ( %LIST% ) DO ( SET "SKIP=" E...

The code I gave you worked just fine when I tested it. I also fixed the problem with your results not actually being random! Not sure why you haven't tried to use it. Regardless of that you literally took Dave's advice and attempted to do it both ways you could possibly do it wrong. You need to esca...

If you happened to read the help file for the SET command you may have noticed this comment. If you use any of the logical or modulus operators, you will need to enclose the expression string in quotes. setlocal enabledelayedexpansion FOR /L %%G IN (1,1,6) DO ( SET /A "rand%%G=!RANDOM! * (5 - 1 + 1)...

You are overwriting the system PATH variable. When you did that, it can no longer execute the FINDSTR command because the location of the FINDSTR command is searched for within the system PATH variable.

Code: Select all

start "" /B "D:\aaa\bbb\ccc\NetTraffic.exe"

You can start by changing this.

Code: Select all

@ECHO OFF
setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
SET workdir=%~dp1
SET myfile=%~nx1
SET myfilename=%~n1
SET filetype=%~x1
SET filesize=%~z1
SET convdir=%~d1ACONVERTED
