Is it possible to break out of a batch file while it is running and have it return to the :Menu in the script?

Thanks in advance.

Forgot to mention that when I use the call command to the bat file, it works.

Is there a limit to how many lines can be in a file. That was just part of the script.

I have this batch file that doesn't execute the commands but they work from the command prompt. It does echo the command on the screen but doesn't run any commands. Could you tell me what I'm doing wrong and how I can get it to run the commands? Thanks in advance. echo copy "c:\users\sfd\appdata\roa...

This is an example of some commands in my batch file copy c:\users\sfd\test1.txt d:\test echo --------------------------------- echo ----------COMPLETE---------- echo --------------------------------- copy c:\users\sfd\test2.txt d:\test I would like to have the 1st copy command line the default DOS ...

I have the following script

I want to go to :MENU if k:\dtsc does not exist
This script does not go to the menu.
Can you tell me how to update this line?

robocopy "c:\test" "k:\dtsc" /MIR /xf desktop.ini /e /np /tee /ndl
if not exist k:\dtsc GOTO :MENU

Thanks in advance.

Thanks so much for your help Steffen, it worked great.

Hello,

The horizontal scroll bar in my DOS Command window has disappeared. What settings can I change to get it back?

Thanks in advance.

I'm using Robocopy with the following switches:

/MIR /xf desktop.ini /e /np /tee

Is there a switch I can use to display new and/or changed files only? Now it scrolls through all the files in the window view.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Thanks Squashman, it worked great.

I'm testing this sample batch file using the /k switch

cmd.exe /k winver
pause

However, once it runs winver it is back to the command prompt. How do I setup batch file to continue processing commands?

Thanks in advance.

With Robocopy, I use these switches in my batch file:

/MIR /xf desktop.ini /e /np /tee


Is there a switch to show only screen output of changed or newer files? I prefer not to see all unchanged files scrolling through the screen.


Thanks in advance.

When using the xcopy command is there a way to color code the output result:

For example:
If 5 files were copied then color code the output information only.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks Antonio for the script.

Can you tell me where do I specify the folders to compare? Can it prompt me to enter the folder names?

Thanks.

Thanks for the response. I already have windiff and it does compare directories if there are the same. I was looking for a utility to go through folders and subfolders and output list of the what one folder has or has not, if there are duplicates or a single file.

Thanks.

Is there a Microsoft tool that will compare 2 directories?

I'm looking to see if there are duplicate files and their locations. Single files on one drive only, etc.

Thanks in advance.
