You have to read the output of DIR and the text file at the same time. Jeb shared a new SET /P technique which you can use synchronously with a FOR loop. Untested: @echo off setlocal enabledelayedexpansion REM *** find each subfolder for /d %%i in (*) do ( REM *** change the working directory pushd ...

That's a well known problem. As soon as you run it as admin the working directory is c:\windows\system32 (I'm virtually certain your folders are created there).
To avoid that you could prepend the following line to your code:

Code: Select all

@cd /d "%~dp0"

Try:

Code: Select all

>>"exec-ds.bat" echo for %%%%A in ("DM.txt") do if %%%%~zA equ 0 del "DM.txt"

You can always CALL another batch file to work with the same environment. bat1.bat @echo off set /a var1=1 echo I'm bat1. echo My current var environment: set var echo I'm going to CALL bat2 echo( call bat2.bat 2 echo This is bat1 again. echo My current var environment: set var echo( pause bat2.bat ...

A password request in a batch file? That doesn't make any sense. However you could count all windows which have the same window title. @echo off &setlocal title limit test set /a n=0 for /f %%i in ('tasklist /fi "imagename eq cmd.exe" /fi "windowtitle eq limit test" /nh^|find...

Well, actually it's very simple. The syntax is GOTO label except of GOTO :EOF. That's what you can find in the documentation. If GOTO :label works then a programmer will call it "undefined behavior". You can't demand functioning.

OK, but where does it fail? Or didn't you check whether the variables are incorrect?

Code: Select all

@echo off
set str=%~d0%~p0
echo %str%
set str=%str:~2,-6%
echo %str%
set sourcedrv=%~d0%str%source\
echo %sourcedrv%
pause

:eof is no label. It's only a virtual expression which tells the parser to jump to the end of file. For that reason only for goto :eof needs the colon.

@Rileyh
%~d0 will be expanded to the drive of the currently running batch file while %~p0 is expanded to the path. You could also combine it to %~dp0.

@Podde
Actually I don't understand your problem.

@ wmaddox3
Sorry, but I can't comprehend the problem. Of course it will fail if the file doesn't exist...

What about the PAUSE command?

Regards

I don't understand the reason for that. I guess nobody changes a source code via batch, much less if you want to undo that later Call your batch file with an option as parameter and check in the called batch what parameter came in. bat1.bat @echo off call "bat2.bat" /1 "string A"...

I strictly recomment the opposite style for echo redirections:

Code: Select all

>>"file.txt" echo 1

What is this good for? Just pass the new path as parameter and find it as %1. bat1.bat @echo off echo this is bat1 call "bat2.bat" "C:\Windows" echo this is bat1 again pause bat2.bat @echo off echo this is bat2 echo current directory is "%cd%" if exist "%~1" c...

Rileyh, I read this post before but to be honest I have no clue what you are looking for. You can redirect a REM line to another file like each other line. But if you want to insert a line in the middle of an existing code then you will have to write the file completely new and you will have to know...
