3. Correct. Windows does not have a native TEE function like Unix and Linux do. Hej Squashman, Can you think of something else I can do? I'd really like to avoid appending the >> logfile to each line. And I can't include two files or the customers will screw it up somehow. I tried the other @rem su...

thanks Squashman,

I tried your tests and I saw some issues. It was working for me before, but I made the change to my file because it never hurts.

Seems to have worked. I even get the expected output files from the commands that I run. c:\Tools>test ======================================== ======================================== Please place your input file into the c:\Test_Ephe\Input directory now. . . Only after the file is placed in the in...

So New question. I know that there are a few ways to do this, but I'd like to find an easier way. So far I have the items listed below that I know of, but I would like something simple that I can add to the beginning of the .bat file without too much trouble. I would like all of the echo, user input...

I have tested it with files with spaces in their filenames. They work. I think that we are done with this specific issue as it was a matter of closing the call that was giving me the issue. I have and will have other issues, but I'll post anew should I exhaust all possible routes to resolution. And ...

Code: Select all

mkdir C:\Test_Ephe Mkdir 2>nul
mkdir C:\Test_Ephe\Input 2>nul
Mkdir c:\Test_Ephe\Output 2>nul

Thanks Squashman, I went ahead and went this route. It's been 15 years since I touched a .bat file besides running basic commands.

I am calling it because I wanted to reuse this. This is just the beginning of the tool and I would prefer not to rewrite things and reuse where possible. I guess that I don't have to but it's been a while since I played with batch files so if there is a simpler way, please share.

Thanks for the tip, tried adding it, didn't help. I tried it with both GOTO :eof and exit /b. I can see that instead of exiting, it looks like it is going to :getvalue which in turn sends it to :InputDesignation. Why would it go to :getvalue when I'm telling it to go to :eof? Starting to miss bash a...

First caveat, I have not made a batch file for about 15 years. Haven't had a use for anything like this. So I am trying to create a simple batch file for our customers to use for testing their files against certain tools like Ghostscript and imagemagick. The issue is not with those, the issue is in ...
