%echo% is not your variable. You are using %cho%

I wouldn't use the same variable name for both of your questions. If you just hit enter on the second question which asks for the user name the variable cho is still defined as yes.

FOR %%G in (*.txt) do echo %%~nG>>%%G

Totally forgot about the FIND usage. Thanks foxidrive.

You need to use Delayed Expansion with your variables inside the FOR LOOP. SET /P will only read in the first line when using a file as input. If you need to read the entire file then you need to use a FOR loop to read it. Not understanding why you are outputting the errors to a temp file and then r...

Kind of confused by that.
If you have a file with the field names defined in the first line that are separated by spaces why would you let people put spaces into the data for a particular field. You should have the fields separated by commas.

So there is always six fields separated by Spaces?
Do the Employee names or Company Names ever have spaces in them?

This works as well.

CMD /C BatchSubstitute.bat Banana Apple Text01.txt>Text02.txt 
print /D:\\Server\Printer_Share Text02.txt

I don't have an explanation for why you need to do this. Someone will be along later I am sure to explain it but for some reason if you CALL the batch file it will work.

Code: Select all

call BatchSubstitute.bat Banana Apple Text01.txt>Text02.txt
print /D:\\Server\Printer_Share Text02.txt

So you are saying that even putting a pause at the end of your script it is just closing not executing the PRINT command.
Did you try typing the PRINT command at the cmd prompt to see if that does indeed work?

Learn something new everyday. Didn't realize you could print directly to the share name. I have always mapped to LPT# and then used the device name. Are you seeing any error messages? Put a PAUSE at the end of your script. If it is printing it will display a message on the screen that it is printing...

The printer needs to be a device. Eg: LPT1
Here is some other options for you.

When you scheduled the task did you enter in a username and password for the task to run under? Does this use have the appropriate permissions and privileges to run the scheduled task?
