Re: How to sort file contents based on pattern?

Ah yes, very simple using the tokens.

Code: Select all

FOR /F "tokens=2 delims=_." %%A IN ('FINDSTR /c:"%OUTBOX_BIN%%NAME%_" %FILE%') DO (
    SET "NUM=%%~A"
    IF !NUM! GTR !MAXNUM! SET "MAXNUM=!NUM!" & SET "MAXFILE=%NAME%_!MAXNUM!.log"
)
THanks!

Re: Lag methodology

Hi Antonio -

I see the code you posted on the new thread is a bit different than the one above - which one should be used?

Thank you!

Re: Lag methodology

I would like to present a simpler approach: @echo off setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion set /P "YYYYMMDD=Enter date in YYYYMMDD format: " set /P "days=Enter number of days: " set /A "DD=100+(D=YYYYMMDD%%100), YYYYMM=YYYYMMDD/100, MM=100+(M=YYYYMM%%100), YYYY=YYYYMM/100 for /L %%i in (1,1,%days%) do (...

Re: Lag methodology

Hi All -

Thank for the links! I'm been playing around with that but can't seem to get anything worth that would be dynamic enough. Was hoping this was a quick hit. Does anyone mind sharing an example I could extrapolate on?

Gracias!

For instance: SET "DATEVAR1=30-Jan-18" SET "DATEVAR2=29-Jan-18" SET "DATEVAR3=28-Jan-18" SET "...

FOR LOOP Question - Delimiters

Hi Folks - I have what I believe is a very easy question. If I have a file with a line: ,Total Tire Centers And my FOR LOOP looks like this: FOR /F "USEBACKQ TOKENS=1-2 DELIMS=," %%A IN ("%CNTRL_FILE%") DO ECHO "%%~A" "%%~B" Why does "%%~A" return "Total Tire Centers" instead of just ""? Ideally, I ...

Advice Question - how to check to see if file has already been ran?

Hi Folks - I have a process that consumes data files from a specific directory and then loads into a target application. However, after the load, the files are not moved/archived. Therefore, when I access the directory with each call to the function, the same file is read into the for loop again obv...

Re: 7zip issues

Thanks Squash.

I ended up making an exclusion list and passing that in instead - works fine now!

Thank you!

Re: Batch subtraction with leading zero

HI Squash -

Ah yes, very easy!

This solves for my issue, but looks awfully clunky.

Code: Select all

SET "ENDYEAR=%DATAFILENAME:~-6%"
SET "ENDYEAR=%ENDYEAR:~0,2%"
SET /A "STARTYEAR=1%ENDYEAR%-1"
SET "STARTYEAR=%STARTYEAR:~1,3%"
SET "STARTPOV=Sep-%STARTYEAR%" & SET "ENDPOV=Oct-%ENDYEAR%"
