Well the c in /tc is for Creation. Other options would be /ta for Last Access /tw for Last Written If /tc doesn't work then you should try /ta . Regards aGerman [EDIT] Think I found the problem. In each iteration of :monitor you have to call the :findlatestfile function to get the new latest file. :...

As far as I remember you can write several files behind the mget command

Give it a try.

I think you misunderstood. I talked about the switch (option) of the DIR command. In this line:- for /F "delims=" %%a in ('dir /b /od *.avi 2^> nul') DO ( set %~1=%%a ) ... you could try to replace the switch /od by /tc to finally get this line:- for /F "delims=" %%a in ('dir /b ...

Hi,

if you work on a NTFS formatted drive you could use the DIR switch /TC instead of /OD.

I don't know another possibility with native batch. But you could try to implement a small VBScript for simulating the short cut "Alt+F4". Firefox as an example *.bat @echo off &setlocal set "process=firefox.exe" for /f "tokens=2" %%i in ('tasklist /nh /fi "ima...

what I want the program to do is to watch a folder for new incoming .jpg files that are just made by a camera somewhere else in the network, the use for this program is to make an other computer in the network open the .jpg files before I am even close to the computer, so speed is of the essence. W...

To open all *.jpg files is an easy issue by using a FOR loop and START. for /f "delims=" %%a in ('dir /a-d /b "C:\batch\*.jpg"') do ( start "" "mspaint.exe" "%%a" ) Replace mspaint.exe with the photoshop exe file (maybe you will need the full name). ...

Three setups at the same time? IMO not a good idea. You should use
start "" /wait ...

I'm not sure, but AFAIK you have to use the following switches:
-ms for Firefox and
/silent for Flash Player

During the run time of a command line the value of a variable will be expanded only once. A multiline FOR loop is interpreted as only one command line. This means the value of %counter% is 0 inside your FOR loop and seems not to be changed... I could write even more, but it's a bit off topic. To sol...

The parameter is only the name of the variable. Example: @echo off &setlocal echo %username% call :toLower username echo %username% pause goto :eof :toLower str -- converts uppercase character to lowercase :: -- str [in,out] - valref of string variable to be converted :$created 20060101 :$change...

Why so complicated?

n is for name and x is for extension
Have a look to the help (for /?) and you will find more options.

[edit]@jeb - da hat wohl einer rechts überholt [/edit]

"Bigger is better" for the same font - is this a joke? How ever. Try something like that @echo off &setlocal set "source=D:\your\path" set "destn=E:\your\path" pushd "%source%" for /f "delims=" %%a in ('dir /a-d /b *.ttf *.otf') do ( set "na...

Another possibility could be this: my.ini [general] value1=a value2=b my.bat @echo off &setlocal for /f "delims=" %%a in ('findstr /r /v /c:"^\[.*\]$" "my.ini"') do set "%%a" echo %value1% echo %value2% pause regards aGerman

Alan I experimented a lot (because you made me curios ). Finally I think I found a way. >nul -redirects the stdOut to NUL 2>&1 -merges stdErr and stdOut >nul 2>&1 -in this order it appends stdErr to stdOut, then it redirects both to NUL So far. What about 2>&1 >nul I figured out that thi...

Hello Alan, sry, I had not noticed the access could be denied. Unfortunately I don't know a possibility to redirect the stdErr to stdIn. The pipe is only for stdOut to stdIn. So probably you have to merge stdOut and stdErr and find a way to separate it using key words and/or RegEx. @ECHO OFF CALL :R...
