Re: Delete files in folder B which exist in folder A

Thanks.
Couldn't figure it out so I've had to code 150 lines in my batch file instead.

Delete files in folder B which exist in folder A

I have two folders. Folder B contains 300 files. The complete set. Folder A contains a subset of folder B. About 120 files. I want to delete the files in folder B that exist in folder A Essentially, folder A is a list of files that are safe to be deleted from Folder B. If it's any easier, I can simp...

Re: command returns no value even though entry exists

Here is what it looks like. There are over 120 games so I won't post the entire games section.. When I said I "Created the file fron scratch" not one line of this code was changed. I recreated the folders.txt file from scratch. The only changes I've made recently are to add .exe to the end of those ...

Re: Debugging / syntax checking tools for batch

Indeed. Both of those were pointed out some time ago. And I removed them all a long time ago. It's possible I missed something, but they don't cause the debugger to fail or warn so it's easy to miss them in a long script. I shall check again. EDIT: Nope. All labels that were within ( ) blocks had al...

Re: command retunrs no value even though entry exists

No, no, I didn't re-write any code at all. When I said I "So I deleted the entire file and recreated it from scratch" I meant I recreated the folders.txt file. There is no old code vs new code. The same code worked after recreating the folders.txt file, imho, reinforcing the earlier statement @ojbak...

Re: Debugging / syntax checking tools for batch

Just thought I'd update on this. My script is now 8,000 lines and still growing. I've found a free easy to use IDE that includes a debugger from https://sourceforge.net/projects/batch-compiler/ Does lots more than just syntax check and debug scripts, but they are the only features I need atm. Since ...

Re: command retunrs no value even though entry exists

I still am..

Code: Select all

IF /I "%DoGame:~0,1%"=="Y" (
Game 1
Game 2
Runescape
Game 3
Game 4
etc
)
I compared the folders.old.txt with the new one I created and there was 1 byte difference in the file size, but they looked identical. (3610 vs 3609 bytes)

Re: command retunrs no value even though entry exists

Is seems there is something in you Folders.txt that is not visible in the lines you have posted. You need to examine what is going on inside the for-loop to see why it fails on Runescape. Add the following code to yout batchfile, run it and check the new file FolderDEBUG.txt "%SrcPath%\foldersDEBUG...

Re: command retunrs no value even though entry exists

Yes. I suspect if SrcPath was not defined the other 30 or so games would also have failed. SrcPath is J:\PostInstall\Corey, see below... SET SRC=%CD:~0,2% set SrcPath=%SRC%\PostInstall\%USERNAME% set RegPath=%SRC%\PostInstall\%USERNAME%\Applications I've run it dozens of times and it is null every s...

command retunrs no value even though entry exists

Recently I received some excellent support in reading a list of items from a text file and assigning the result to a variable. However, it seems to be struggling with a single entry. This is an abridged list of the games... Overwolf,D:\Program Files (x86)\Overwolf Quake,I:\Program Files (x86)\Quake ...

Re: Stop search when exact match found.

Legendary stuff.
For some reason I struggle to get my head around the FOR command and assigning variables to stuff. I don't know why. I don't usually have learning disabilities :)
thanks
