Are there any error messages when it is directly launched? Place a pause as the final line to see them before it exits. It is also specifically looking for devcon in the same folder that the batch is in, rather than c:\windows\system32, but that should be the same no matter how you launch it.

Is the error message still the same? What line is causing it? Please provide as much detail as possible. Due to it relying on the vbs file and printers, other people can't test the script themselves.

I also see that if someone enters an option other than 1-4, it's going to fall through to option 1.

cscript %WINDIR%\F:\Prnport.vbs -a -r IP_192.***.***.*** -h 192.***.***.***.80 -o raw -n 9100 cscript %WINDIR%\System32\Printing_Admin_Scripts\en-US\Prnport.vbs -a -r IP_192.***.***.*** -h 192.***.***.*** -o cscript %WINDIR%\System32\Printing_Admin_Scripts\en-US\Prnport.vbs -a -r IP_192.***.***.***...

Good to know, I never tested them extensively.

Please provide as many details as possible about the task. What do you have so far, and what errors are you encountering? Does the folder you are monitoring contain subfolders that need to be accounted for? Hidden files? in a remote pc like: \\pc2\folder1 As far as I am aware, network paths like tha...

So this is not a function that needs to be called from a certain place in a batch? Its actually an example of starting your own batch script, so one needs to substitute %0 with its own batch name, and %* with its batch args - correct? If not, where this snippet must be placed in a batch code? %0 is...

All good, except it doesn't work in a standard web browser. Agreed. I tried it in the most current Firefox with no success. The file path isn't correctly escaped, for starters, but even when I fixed that, all it does is display the contents of the batch file in the browser window. Nothing is actual...

The redirection technique you linked doesn't actually ignore Ctrl+C completely. In Win7 at least, the prompt still appears, but is moved past. By rapidly pressing Ctrl+C as fast as I could, I was able to bypass that and get a prompt that allowed me to cancel my script. The code snippet you posted is...

I believe an HTML document can execute a batch script through CGI. If that is the case, what's probably happening is that the working directory is the one the HTML server is running from, and not the one the batch file is in. Have your batch file either use the full path to the CSV file, or preferab...

As mentioned above, it's definitely coming from the initial command line that the batch is launched from. Most, if not all, file operations don't care if you have extra slashes in the path, which is why the move works. If the extra slashes in the log cause you a problem, you can try expanding the of...

Is there anything else in your batch file? Both of the lines you posted give the correct results when I test them myself.

For your first part, the closest solution to what you already have would be for /r %%i in (.) do copy "S:\PathnameHere\Atari 7800.psd" "%%i\" for /r already defaults to the current directory if you leave one out, but using it with (.) as you did leaves a trailing '.' at the end o...
