I think I'll keep using whatever works

I edited my post above when I realised you were processing text files. Try giving the information in your first post next time, eh? You are correct, Sir, I could have done a better job in the first post However, in a post above: List files from directory. In each file, find some characters and exch...

file.txt contains a list of files. I don't understand what you're trying to do here I want those changes made in the files themselves, not piped into a text file. For example: First lines of first m3u file (Best Of.m3u) #EXTM3U #EXTINF:296,ABBA - The Winner Takes It All D:\Public Music\ABBA\The Defi...

Fair enough, let's try with repl.bat: @echo off REM -- Use repl.bat to substitute location and slash characters for playlists from Windows to Synology P: FOR /F "delims=" %%i IN ('dir /B') DO ( echo Opening %%i echo Replacing location echo off type %%i | call repl.bat "D:\Public "...

First playlist's name is Best Of.m3u

C:\Users\vmuso_000\Vincent>PlaylistWindows2SynologyConverter.bat

In each file, find some characters and exchange them with others.
Done

(this is useful for making m3u playlists generated on Windows compatible with Linux-type Synology NAS systems)

Because I have no idea what I'm doing?

OK, let's use call: call "c:\Users\vmuso_000\Vincent\BatchReplace.bat "D:\Public " "/volume1/" %%i" Issue is that call is going to execute "c:\Users\vmuso_000\Vincent\BatchReplace.bat " and forget about the rest. I need to tell call that the double quote befor...

Here's what I do: @echo off REM -- Prepare the Command Processor -- SETLOCAL ENABLEEXTENSIONS SETLOCAL DISABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION if /I "%~1"=="/h" goto:help if "%3"=="" goto:help if "%~1"=="" findstr "^::" "%~f0"&goto:...

Do you mean like this? FOR /F "delims=" %%i IN ('dir P: /B') DO ( echo Opening %%i echo Replacing location echo off c:\Users\vmuso_000\Vincent\BatchReplace.bat "D:\Public " "/volume1/" "%%i" echo Replacing slash echo off c:\Users\vmuso_000\Vincent\BatchReplace...

Hi guys, Thank you to those who already posted advice on how to build these scripts Here is mine. It works perfectly well for all the files retrieved by the dir command which have no space in their name. For filenames with spaces, DOS returns an error because it can't find the file specified - it mo...
