*untested* probably a bit more efficient:

for /f "delims=" %%f in ('dir /s /b /a-d "c:\old files\*.bmp"') do ren "%%f" "%%~nf.BMP"

You could try to figure out the "taskkill" command.

set list=!list:~-%length%!
echo "$basetexture" "!list!" >> %%~pnA.vmt

or don't bother with the first set:

echo "$basetexture" "!list:~-%length%!" >> %%~pnA.vmt

for /f

instead of just

Just try to remove the directory. If it's not empty, it will fail:

rd "c:\dir to be deleted"

I would do it manually from the command prompt: cd /d c:\mess move *.pdf "c:\document\pdf" move *.doc "c:\document\doc" It would take you just about as long to write the script file as it would be to just do it. Don't forget to make the directory first if needed: md "c:\docu...

If you're on a network, you can put it in a common location and reference it with full path all the time f:\public\shortcut.exe If it's in one of the standard directories on every machine you could use "%windir%\system32" or something similar: "%programfiles%\my software\shortcut.exe&...

If the directory is large, it might be more efficient to build the list of files first using findstr as you have done, but then instead of a dir /s on each match found, just put that list of files into another file and use findstr on a single dir /s. Something like (untested): for /f "delims=&q...

Code: Select all

for /f "usebackq delims=" %%a in ("c:\path to file\ref.txt") do echo %%a

Oops. Mixed up tokens and delims:

Code: Select all

for /f "usebackq delims=" %%a in ("c:\path to ref\ref.txt") do cd /d "%%~a"

I actually prefer many times to use the subroutrine trick instead of the call trick or delayedexpansion: @echo off for %%a in (abce efge ieks eiw) do call :process %%a echo Your other code here goto :eof :process set tmp_var=%1 echo %tmp_var:~2,3% goto :eof Effectively, this pulls the "guts&quo...

Better: Will pause pretty much no matter what: RUNAS /U:DESQLD\USERNAME_ADMIN "cmd /c \"REG QUERY \\%PCASSET%\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\DES\CustomData /s ^& pause\" " Will pause only if it is successful: RUNAS /U:DESQLD\USERNAME_ADMIN "cmd /c \"REG QUERY \\%PCASSE...

If you're always talking about the batch file that is running, then use "%~n0". That returns the filename without the extension of the batch file that is currently running. Otherwise there are several ways to do that, but I would continue with the above theme by using a call statement: @ec...

That's what I did.
