Using native batch you have to escape all special characters, like ^<>|&. I hope this will work for you: @echo off &setlocal set /p "replace="<"words.txt" for /f "usebackq skip=1 delims=" %%a in ("words.txt") do ( >"%%a.txt" type nul set &quo...

jojolino I'm not that familar with ftp, but you have to customize the script and maybe you should append a PAUSE command to see what happens. Try something like that: ;@echo off ;set "ftpServer=hostname.com" ;set "uName=YourUserName" ;set "pass=YourPassword" ;set "...

aseventhmindset Your problem is in this line: if not exist "%temp%\results.vbs" echo msgbox"%killcount% files have been deleted. %deathcount% files could not be deleted.",16,"Recycler" > %temp%\results.vbs If the vbs file exists it will never change. Remove if not exist...

You can't send an email by native batch. You could use blat, but you must have access to an email server.

If you are sure there are never two files with same size but different contents, you could use this: @echo off &setlocal set rootfolder=c:\your data root pushd "%rootfolder%" ||goto :eof for /d %%a in (*) do ( set "subfolder=%%~fa" call :proc ) popd pause goto :eof :proc push...

There is no way to make a password field in batch. I suggest to write a temporary .hta file to have a separate window for password input. batch file: @ECHO OFF &SETLOCAL &TITLE Password FOR /F "DELIMS=: TOKENS=2" %%i IN ('CHCP') DO SET /A oemcp=%%~ni :start FINDSTR /B /C:" &qu...

cd\ cd c:\reports\2008 if not exist *.doc goto delete :delete cd\ cd reports rd /S /Q 2008 exit No. If you found no *.doc files you jump to :delete . This is OK, but what happens if *.doc files are found?! The CMD will interprete the next line (it's :delete too). Think about it and correct your cod...

Nested FOR loops are allowed, but sometimes it is tricky to use them. I didn't try to correct your code, because my mind was drifting to the wrong direction. Your origin replace-line was set new=!old:search=replace! but search and replace are literal expressions in this case. You defined them as var...

Compare and delete files depending on their size is not a good idea. you should use a MD5 tool.

I don't understand what you want to do. Where exactly are the files placed and which of found files should be deleted?

Alan When I read your post I wondered why you changed my code starting with "setlocal enabledelayedexpansion". Don't do that. The "!" as variable name doesn't affect the drag'n'dropped batch file, because you use it only into the parent cmd process. And if there is no "setlo...

Well, the example on the URL link shows how to do. <obj>.Run "cmd.exe" can open a command prompt <obj>.SendKeys "what ever" will emulate the keyboard The only thing you have to know is that [Ctrl] + [V] doesn't work for a command prompt. You would need [Alt] + [Space], [E], [P]. ...

Please explain any benefit of start "%~nx0" cmd /t:1F /k %!% versus start "%~nx0" cmd /t:1F /k "%~1" I see no difference in results, other than whether a variable ! is set There is no difference. %!% is shorter, thats all. I am especially intrigued by the use of a vari...
