Ummm...the find command itself can do that--find /?

I changed line 5 Call: nextcopy ... (comes from when you write from the phone.) Of course it makes no sense to send the data over the network several times. Maybe a batch can be started from the server / network in order not to resend the data from the client. To start with a trigger for automatic ...

That is an interesting idea, although the code is going to take me some time to understand.

The only issue I see is with bandwidth. If by having two simultaneous copies running the bandwidth for each copy gets halved, the net speed will still end up being the same.

Most of us that have worked with computers have run into this problem in some form or another--you have one source and it needs to be copied to multiple destinations. And the normal solution is to run these copy operations serially, ie one at a time, so the execution time is N*NumberOfDestinations. ...

So a couple of questions to clarify some things.

If a file is without an extension, you want it to start with "zz"?

If the file has a .txt, extension, it should be the same name as the mp3, except with a txt extension, correct?

Samir, look at the post right above yours

Yeah, I'm sure that will solve the OP's issue--I just couldn't wrap my head around exactly what was going on there.

I'm unsure if i understand your task right: @echo off setlocal enableExtensions disableDelayedExpansion CALL :FUNCTION "VARIABLE" CALL :FUNCTION "ALMOND" CALL :FUNCTION "ARYA" CALL :FUNCTION "CHEVA" CALL :FUNCTION "SATYA" CALL :FUNCTION "P" goto :eof :FUNCTION if /I "%~1" lss "p" goto :oneThing if ...

sorry it's not a dir command, but "7za l file.zip" I'll check your solution thank you for help! Ahh makes sense. And I just checked the options for 7za and it doestn' seem to have any options for the display. I have some ideas on how to do this since the column width seems always the same, but I'll...

I think you are all missing the intended request. The user said they wanted a batch file to start a particular time of the day. They are not asking to pause execution of a batch file until a specified time of the day. Hmmm...but if the main loop of the batch file won't start until the specified tim...

I have a batch in which a variable with have a directory name. That directory name will start with a letter and vary in length, but usually within the old dos 8.3 limits. For example, variable name could be one of the following: ALMOND ARYA CHEVA SATYA What I would like to do is if the first letter ...

This looks like you're just trying to get the filenames from a directory listing. And judging by the \ character, it's a dos/windows system. So instead of using just dir, you can use dir /b. For finding all the filenames in not only the current directory but also subdirectories, the for command is a...

So in reading another thread here, I ran across an example that used %~1 with call, which inspired me to try %~0 with call. Indeed, it will return the label used. My testing batch: ECHO OFF CALL :MAIN "TEST" GOTO END :MAIN ECHO START ECHO %~0 SET LABEL=%~0 SET LABEL=%LABEL:~1% ECHO %LABEL% ECHO %~1 ...

A little late to the party, but I use this in several batches. It doesn't require anything external except the ping command. It starts the batch at 1am.

I have a batch file that will call to various functions where the label name is also used in the function. For example (ALMOND in this example): :ALMOND XCOPY \\SHARENAME\ALMOND \ALMOND /F/R/E/S/H/K/Y/D/C/L GOTO :EOF I wanted to know if there's any variable like %0 for the label in a batch file. Tha...

I'm running xp as well. Using chrome portable 26 (I think) and it's working fine. phpbb is a very established forum software and has worked over several operating system incarnations (I started using this version of phpbb as a user when I was on win98), and I don't see any reason for them to update ...
