Hello
To communicate from one to two you can use waitfor.
Otherwise open a writing handle from set /p into your one - in two test this writing handle also into one, if this doesn't success then goto yourLabel.

I also tinkered a bit. I did not want to think about why I should make a goto out of the for loop. That makes no sense - but that's exactly why it should turn here. And well I admit it, I screwed up the loop with the delayed variable itself. - I was lazy - and had typed this snippet on the smart pho...

You do not have to add the file extension additionally. This is done in the variable with the for extension "%%~nxi".

pieh-ejdsch

You can use this to rename:

Code: Select all

Setlocal enable delayedexpansion
For %%i in (*.doc)  do ( set "filename=%%~nxi"
  Set "filename=!filename: =_!"
  Ren "%%i" "!filename!"
   rem do something
)

I can't see what content your variable is.

Hallo
Your findstr command will find lines with Peter OR Pan.
The for /f loop will only output the first token (word).
Use for /f "tokens=1-2" OR for /f "delims="
To set your variable.

Hello pp8771, you have started this batch twice in a command line prompt. Your batch has no setlocal. In the first run it saved the name of the last file into the variable file1. Your second run goes with the content of file1. You may use Enable delayedexpansion in the same codeline. But in your sit...

I once tinkered with your createNest, because I first had to understand what should be done when. In addition, I had to create a similar test environment. Unfortunately, I do not have the "program" there. First of all, I can only repeat myself with the "program" quarreling around it. all other issue...

Hi, Since nobody offered a solution so far ... I created the script to wait. It uses robocopy as mentioned in the other post. The start time to wait must be set before the first execution time. But it should at least be smaller or equal. The break time and the last possible execution time must also ...

You mean so?

Code: Select all

PushD D:\rootfolder
For /r %%i in (*) do if "%%~fi" neq "%~f0" if NOT exist %%~nxi move "%%i"
