Depending on the file content it might be impossible to store that within an environment variable. You could use the task scheduler to react on file changed events..., but that horribly sounds like cracking a walnut with a sledgehammer, because you would get tons of events for dozens of temporary fi...

In case noone replies, you might want to ask in a forum that typically does windows admin stuff.
If i remember right superuser.com might be able to help you.

You might do something like that (sketched and untested): @echo off setlocal enableExtensions disableDelayedExpansion set "N=1000000000" for %%a in ("*12345-*" "*-*12345") do ( for /f "tokens=* delims=" %b in ('set /a "N"') do ( echo(ren "%%~a" "%%~b.txt" ) set /a "N+=1" ) goto :eof Sidenote: I echo...

Ad OP: Depending how you started your batch and if its name or its path contains spaces, the variable %~f0 might not neccessarily be correct. The only solution for that (special case) is to first call a function(-label) and use %~f0 from within that function. The way you delete all files also does m...

ok.. this is why I also asked if there was a way to adjust it. Can we change wk 01 to be the first MONDAY? I like to add, that whatever day you choose, you run into the same issue (just with another day and in different years): If the 12/31/yyyy happens to be a MONDAY, than a script that defines it...

not sure how you do this Simply open a command prompt and type "set" (without doublequotes) and hit <ENTER>. Then check, if a an environment variable named "TMP" is there, contains a path name to a folder and then check if that folder exists and if you can create, edit and delete files in that fold...

I made two changes, that might help in some circumstances (in case command.com doesn't use current work directory - for whatever reasons; and in case of a possible write protection in the current directory). You should check, if the environment variable TMP is initialized correctly (to a path with r...

I have tried your TEST.BAT file as per your script code but it printed on screen - Bad Command or file name (on the next line it states) dir= I missed a "goto :eof" in the above code. I added and tested the result on win98SE, so that code should work now. could you give an outline of what the scrip...

The above script uses ISO 8601, which defines the week 01 as that week which contains the first Thursday in January.
Therefore it is correct to return 53 for the week of 12/28/20, because this weeks Thursday is on 12/31/2020.

On older command environments, you typically either have to use debug.exe, qbasic.exe or you have to make an own temporary batch script to perform your tasks. The command line parameter "%0" won't always give you the path. It only contains the first token (~= meaningfull part) string used to execute...

This might work for both .bat and .cmd (if you don't need any command line arguments for your batch): @echo off setlocal enableExtensions disableDelayedExpansion if "%~1" == "" call :init goto %~1 :eof :init %ComSpec% /k ""%~f0" ":main" & exit" goto :eof :main color 00 echo(%errorlevel% color echo(%...

I actually can't test that, but isn't the set command suppose to do that, if you are using .cmd-files? penpen

The batch command line interpreter processes one line after another. So if it reaches your first errorlevel-based message, it simply proceeeds by processing the empty line after that, then the line with the :error-label and then the second errorlevel-based message.
