Hi, Thanks for your help, i just noticed now that my errorlevel does change with each command like i thought it didn't. It was because i had mixed up some directories previous in the script. Your script does indeed look like it might do what i wanted it to do too - With some editing to what it gives...

Hi, I'm wondering if it's possible to have several %errorlevel% in the same script, or rather that %errorlevel% is overwritten by a new %errorlevel% as the script progresses? I have a script which in 3 stages will search a text that's piped into "find" for 3 different specific strings. Thi...

This one works too, thank you very much for all the help.
Problem solved then, i guess

This is the final code i ended up with. I just tried it both with none of the processes already running, and by running the batch script 3 times, making the 3rd one queue itself like it was supposed to. It's working wonderfully. Thanks for all the help. :queue for /f %%a in ('tasklist ^|find /i &quo...

It was the do() inside a do() command which i put it, wasn't it?

Yes, i change the process.exe to the name of the actual process in question As for the code, this is the start of it @echo OFF cd /D C:\downloads\ timeout 5 set fn=%~n1 echo file: %~nx1 set fne=%~nx1 :queue for /f %%a in ('tasklist ^|find /i "process.exe" ^|find /c /v "" ') do ( ...

I just tried the code, however it just keeps looping again and again even though there are none of the specific process running for any user, nor for the system. The (modified) code i tried was ##some unrelevant script over here :queue for /f %%a in ('tasklist ^|find /i "process.exe" ^|fin...

I always used the timeout command for pauses. i.e. "timeout 60" for a 60 second timeout, so i never knew about the ping command. The timeout command even counts down in the commandline window. Thanks for the help. I will try inputting the codes into the script now, and see how it goes. I w...

Yes. See my edited post with the code above. You might try saying 'Thank you' next time when someone offers free help, and if the code doesn't work then you can say so. I haven't gotten around to trying to code yet, but thank you to both you and Ed Dyreen who have offered help Edit to avoid doublep...

The script i already have is used for processing files and give an output file. Files are dropped onto the .bat file. It then sets the filename, checks if the output file for it already exists, and if the file doesn't already exist it then moves on to start the process which will process the file an...

Yes, process.exe is unique, but there can be run many simultaneous instances of it (many process.exe at the same time, with the same process name), which is what i'm trying to queue with this script, since it takes alot of processing power, i'd like it to only be able to run 2 instances of the proce...

Hi, I'm wondering if it's possible to make a batch script detect if and how many of a process instances are already running, and if too many are already running, make the upcoming instances of the process timeout and try again with time intervals untill few enough of the instances are running to let...

Yes, thank you, that's exactly what i was on the lookout for.

0 down vote favorite Hi, I'm wondering if i could have some help with making line breaks in an ouput .txt file made using a batch file. Here's the beginning of my script, so you might see better what i mean: @echo OFF type NUL > newfile.txt ECHO Hello, world. I am currently asking a question. > newf...
