This can't be correct [...]

I *knew* this was coming!
But it would take me too much time to specify when and what would be redirected under which circumstances.
I assumed @avizee would get the picture that the error message could not be redirected that way ...

and does not work 'cmd /c' com Please provide better feedback than "does not work" !! When you provide no password or the wrong one, the program will not be started, of course. When you enter (manually!) the password when entering this command: runas /user:administrator "cmd /c pause" You can see w...

Does this work for you?
(I'm not entirely sure what you want as you left important information out, like the exact structure of file_list.txt )

Replace the xcopy line with: (remove the "echo" when everything is OK)

Some remarks: runas.exe does not support entering a password through a pipe ("|"). If you want to pass a password, look at utilities like sanur (runas spelled backwards; basically a wrapper around runas.exe that feeds the password) or CPAU (joeware.net). (IIRC; must be at least 10 years since I used...

It looks like you created (actually: not finished) a very complex way (replacing text from a certain position to see if the "," is still there and then shifting a position to repeat the process until you find what the number between the "," and the ":" is) to get this result: output[1]_x=0 output[1]...

If you want to expand a variable to its value in the same command line you have to enable delayed variable expansion [...] Or: @for %%i in (A:,B:,D:,E:,F:,G:,H:,I:,J:,K:,L:,M:,N:,O:,P:,Q:,R:,S:,T:,U:,V:,W:,X:,Y:,Z:,) do @if exist "%%i\autounattend.xml" (set "usb=%%i" & call echo the usb drive is "%...

I have edited the script I posted to show where I think the closing parenthesis of the second for-loop should be placed:

for /F "tokens=*" %%B in ('dir /B/A-D/ONE "%%~nA.0*"') do (
set PG=!PG! %%~nxB
)

1. You missed the "(" and ")" again in your a.bat 2. You need quotes around %DST%%%~nA.PDF and similar : "%DST%%%~nA.PDF", not around set SRC="c:\test\src\" and set DST="C:\test\dest\" replace @echo off (first line of script) with @echo on to follow in detail at which step of the script the error co...

Read the documentation of your EVO application and search for command line options.
If it is possible to provide credentials this way, there you can find it.

What am I missing? It looks like a couple of () for the second FOR command (and " " around filenames in case the include spaces or special characters. Try it by: start CMD.exe CD /d c:\test\src Execute your script That way the CMD window will show you any possible erroirs. New code: @echo off & set...

Unless at the beginning of the file :wink: You are right! Never occurred to me that a text file could start with empty lines :o In case it does (does it ever?): $INFILES = "T:\*.txt" $OUTFOLDER = "T:\test" gi $INFILES | % { ( gc -Raw $_ ) -creplace("^(`r`n){3,}","`$1`$1") -creplace("(`r`n){4,}","`r...

I have a 1000 text files and would like to replace three (or more) empty lines with two empty lines. How could I do this? That is, I'd like to replace three (or more) new line characters with two new line characters. 3 empty lines would require 4 "new line characters" .. BTW (and off-topic): I woul...
