I am using the same code, but in my case ti need to add some lines after the founded string (word) It is as simple as flipping the two lines of code. The if condition has to follow the output of the line of code you are testing. So just reverse these two lines. if "%%~a"=="z 10" >>"%outputfile%" ec...

Curl is part of Windows 10 already.

Code: Select all

C:\>where curl.exe
C:\Windows\System32\curl.exe

And what third party software are you using to accomplish this task? A batch file by itself is not capable of doing this alone.

String substitution is not case sensitive.

Code: Select all

H:\>set "string=aaaa"

H:\>echo %string:A=A%
AAAA

So in your case it will always remove it.

You can see the proper syntax for a command by typing the command name followed by a question mark from the cmd prompt. if /? But it is usually a lot easier just to reference Microsoft's documentation but I usually use SS64. https://ss64.com/nt/ IF NOT DEFINED variable3 set "variable3=0" echo %varia...

Should we assume the Source Path variable is defined correctly?

Regardless, I copied and pasted your input file and your code exactly and substituted my own source path and it works just fine.

I think your best option is to ask the developer to fix his program.

Yes!!!!!!!!!!!! in 8 minutes this FORFILES /m *.txt /C "TXTlogToCSVtool /c @file @fname.csv" processed 846 flight logs, absolutely incredible I am still dismayed how users stumble upon FORFILES to use for tasks like this. While it does accomplish the task, a basic FOR command would have sufficed an...

A common way to check if a variable is a number can partially be achieved by using the DELIMS option of the FOR command.

Code: Select all

FOR /F "delims=0123456789" %%G IN ("%var%") DO echo %var% is NOT a number

But you also need to check for a leading zeros.

Code: Select all

IF "%var:~0,1%"=="0" echo %var% is NOT a number

by putting quotes around the entire execution of 7zip, you are basically telling the command processor to look for an executable file named the same as everything inside the quotes. Quotes are only needed for the file paths.

ShadowThief: Thank you for taking the trouble to respond and indeed I have gained a tad more information.

You essentially were given what is in the help file for the Robocopy command which you could have read yourself.

I hate to be one of those people who say RTM, but you should read the the help file first and then ask a question as to what you don't understand about the description in the help file.

Code: Select all

for %%G in (*.TXT) DO (
ECHO Handling %%G
IF "%%G"=="1.TXT" echo "some text" >> %%G
IF "%%G"=="2.TXT" echo "some other text" >> %%G
IF "%%G"=="3.TXT" echo "some more text" >> %%G

Use the comma to your advantage. Use it with the string you are searching for with the FINDSTR command. for /F "Tokens=2 delims=," %%a in ('findstr /C:"Mass Effect," "%SrcPath%\folders.txt"') do set GamePath=%%a Another option would be to use both tokens to your advantage. See if the first token is ...

With the FOR command you are missing two critical components. You need to use the /F option and you need to enclose the command within single quotes. for /F "delims=" %%X in ('dir "R:\Archived Folders\*" /AD /B') do The delims option will also be needed because of spaces in the output of the command.
