Dave - Works like a charm!! Thank you! It's amazing how much slower DOS is compared to Shell. For instance, I'm running this script over 12 files equaling about 24gigs. It takes approx 1.5 hours. With shell, it completes the same data set in about 15 minutes. I wish there was a way to speed things u...

Thank you, Dave!

I just tried to test this and I'm getting a JScript error:

JScript run time error in replace code: 'x' is undefined.

Thanks!

Good Morning D - I'm using JREPL.bat file and complimenting code to search a set of import files for a specific string. Here is the code I am using: @echo off setlocal for %%F in (*.txt) do ( set "file=%%F" jrepl " 0 " "cnt+=1; false" /l /jmatch /jbeg "cnt=0" ...

Ah yes, testing now!

Hi Guys -

Thank you so much! This works as expected.

However, the portion where I need to perform the copy happens later on in the script, not necessarily within the block.

Is there anyway to store %%~i so I can use it later on in the script?

Thank you aGerman.

Ill adapt this to my code and let you know. I may have another question in a bit, but will let you know.

Thank you!

AGerman - That is just a question to prompt the user to make SURE the selection they entered in correct. Their selection is currently stored in the variable called "MIG_DEF_DEF, shown as set /p MIG_DEF_DIR= They make their selection from a list thats generated with the former section, as shown ...

Good Afternoon Team - A portion of a script I am writing prompts the user to select all directories that are required for their specific process Most times, the user will need to select multiple directories, not just one. Then, later on the script, those directories the user selected will need to be...

aGerman -

Thank you so much for all your efforts! This makes sense and I have been able to get my process to execute.

Thank you!

Hi aGerman -

_env.cmd sits in the working directory. Perhaps it's unnecessary?

I did try the working directory syntax but unfortunately, its still unable to read that _env file on the remote server.

HI aGerman - So, a quick update, I've been able to get my remote batch script to execute. What I needed to do was declare all variables in the script itself, rather than in an environment/properties file I call from it. While it works, it of course is a little cluttered. For instance, this is how I ...

Hi Guys - One more update. Been testing a bunch of different things. I'm back to square one. The previous fix yesterday was not an actually fix. I was mistaken. A few things are still going on: 1. Unable to read any variables in remote batch file I'm trying to execute A. The remote batch file calls ...

Hi Guys - One last update. Variable in the target script in source paths, for instance, any MOVE or COPY commands, are still unable to be read. However, I"ve removed those variables and used the hard coded paths. I'm also able to copy to remote servers from the target script now. I changed the ...

I've done more testing and the process works if no variables are used. FO rinstance, in place of the current XCOPY portion of code in the remote server script, I used: ECHO f | XCOPY /f /y "TEST.txt" "TESTFINAL.txt">>%logfile% And that works. However, when I add a variable to the...

HI Guys - Would there be a reason why when executing a PSEXEC script on my source server, it fails on the XCOPY portion of a script it executes on the target server? Source server syntax: echo ********************************************************>>%logfiles% echo LOAD starts at %TIME% >>%logfiles...
