Re: Sequential file backup

You can drag one or more folders or files onto the batch.
This corresponds to the full path as a parameter.

Re: Sequential file backup

Hallo drgt,
What you are looking for is a small versioning of different states of one and the same file or files or folders.

You can find the appropriate script here:

Re: Robocopy issue

As it looks in your case, everything can be the same in 7 backups. You can use the error level of Robocopy to know if something was copied or not. Depending on the result, you can then delete the oldest or the previously created folder. You can also check the old backup(s) for timestamps from seven ...

Re: .bat does not always pass parameter correctly at EOF (end-of-file)

It's actually related to the redirect. If the redirect sneaks into the command out of place, then the first token after the redirection is missing a whitespace character. If there are more than two tokens behind the redirection, the command line is executed in full. It is best to put the redirect at...

Re: Equivalent 9XDos code to NT Find bat/cmd path %~dp0

If you change to another directory, a possible drive change must also be made afterwards. I created an equivalent for Pushd and Popd in the win98 timestamp bat to create these variables (yy mm and so on). https://administrator.de/forum/win98-batch-datum-ermitteln-variable-splitten-tag-mon-jahr-22131...

Re: A problem with symlink script

Hi absolutelyrandom1234, Is always problematic if the delayed variables are taken in the For-loop - but work is still delayed in "do". All that comes out is gibberish. Mixing the delayed- with forvariables can be done if there are no special characters to be expected. Always work with a delay in "in...

Re: FOR doesn't iterate properly

You can display the for variable so that it only expands to the filename.

Code: Select all

Re: Letter used in a variable.

The errorlevel of chice is output exactly after the index of the characters. The extension of variables is done according to the offset. Why do you change the index to letter? Oh, you still need in the script. But if NOT 1 if - then it is also sufficient: set drives= abcde choice /c %drives% /n /m "...

Re: Why doesn't this replacement work?

Hallo, That's how you actually write one-liners! You should simply write the list as it is with each other in the for- loop, then you will have it a little clearer. A second for-loop for the name of the log file completes the matter. IF DEFINED X for /f "tokens=2delims==" %%K in ("FDMEE_KOF=_KICKOUT...

Re: Repetitively read x lines from txt file and pass to called program

Hallo Bryan, Your example has only 34 lines ... I would not read the lines, but always read the first block line. Look for the 4-digit number and create the file with this number. Then transfer to the processing program. The last file is treated at the end - or the first line of the original file is...

Re: Recursively Delete File Types From A Named Folder Only

you can use a for /r loop in a recursive search

Code: Select all

( for /d /r %%a in (Target-Folder.?) do @ DEL /S /Q "%%a\*.psr" "%%a\*.zip" ) >Deleted-psr-zip.txt 2>&1
