The full code (Samir's algorithm), if robocopy could not be installed to the system you use: :main @echo off setlocal :: detect usb stick on assumtion: this batch is started from it. set "usbVolume=%~d0" set "usbVolume=%usbVolume:~0,1%" set "targetDirectory=\targetDirectory&...

Re: Merge .txt files in folders, adding commas and quotation

I have renamed the test text file batman.txt to -åäö.txt and got no errors on execution on XP home and Win7 home, so i cannot fix it. The only problem i got is with the ampersand (&). I fixed it, maybe this helps you, too: @echo off cls setlocal set "combined=combined.txt" ( for %%a in...

Re: Why no time in TIME.TXT :- echo %time% > TIME.TXT > NUL

Case 1: echo %time% > filename > NUL The command processor (CP) executes this atomic expression: At first it redirects the streams by handles, and then executes the command. So if no error occurs the CP: 1. redirects the standard output stream (STDOUT) to a FileOutputStream (filename) (Wrong: See je...

Re: Run Batch File at Specific Time

Definitely that.
If you don't exactly specify which executable to run, someone may execute his exe file instead of yours, with your rights as you call it.

Re: A different method to trim spaces from a string

@probyn I've found an issue when executing: Z:\>SET TEST= test Z:\>SET TEST_A= test a Z:\>safeTrim TEST Z:\>SET TEST TEST=test a TEST_A= test a This could be fixed by adding a safe if "%1" == "TEST", also a %1 gatekeeper should be performed, so the whole code changes to: @echo of...

Re: Help creating xcopy batch file??

If source is a directory, and
destination is a directory too, or not existing, and
your batch is in the right directory,
then this code should work well.

Maybe you rem out the @echo off line, and see what error message will be displayed.

Re: A different method to trim spaces from a string

Is it any safer if we just pass the name of the variable whose value is to be trimmed rather than the value itself? Much better, i have tested all tricks, i remembered, on your safetrim.bat: @echo off set x=%1 for /f "tokens=1* delims==" %%a in ( 'set %1' do call :exec %%b goto :EOF :exec...

Re: CSV to QIF Using Batch?

Do you mean with CSV and QIF the Comma-Separated Values format and the Quicken Interchange Format? If yes, i assume this conversion is possible IF you have a specification for the comma-separated values format. The problem would be to define a clean specification to hold the same data as the QIF, as...
