mailsend script for FreeFileSync

[ShadowThief]

You can extract the first line of a file to a variable like this:

Code: Select all

set /p first_line=<"C:\FFS\LastSyncs.log"

And from there, you can just search through that string.

Code: Select all

echo %first_line%|findstr /i "successfully" >nul && set subject=[Success] Synchronization completed successfully

This one still works perfectly, I made few changes earlier (/c: etc.) and modified others now (one line for successfully and nothing) again:

Code: Select all

@echo off
set subject=[Failed] The search terms were not found
for /f "delims=" %%x in ('dir "C:\FFS\Logs\" /od /b') do set recent=%%x
findstr /i "successfully nothing" "C:\FFS\Logs\%recent%" >nul && set subject=[Success] Synchronization completed successfully
findstr /i "warnings errors aborted" "C:\FFS\Logs\%recent%" >nul && set subject=[Failed] Synchronization completed with errors

"C:\FFS\mailsend.exe" +cc +bc -v -smtp smtp.gmail.com -ssl -port 465 -auth -user EMAIL -pass PASSWORD -f EMAIL -to EMAIL -cc EMAIL -bc EMAIL -sub "FFS_COMPANYNAME/SOURCE-FOLDER_DESTINATION-FOLDER_WHEN: %time%, %date% - %subject%" -attach "C:\FFS\Logs\%recent%"

Also I've contacted the developer about the colons (:).

edit:
Thank you ShadowThief, I am trying to switch to LastSyncs.log. Do I keep the two lined after @echo? Sorry I am still at the point where I need to see all written down in a code.

[ShadowThief]

Ah, sorry...

Code: Select all

@echo off
timeout /t 5
set subject=[Failed] The search terms were not found

set /p first_line=<"C:\FFS\LastSyncs.log"
echo %first_line%|findstr /i "successfully" >nul && set subject=[Success] Synchronization completed successfully
echo %first_line%|findstr /i /c:"Nothing to synchronize" >nul && set subject=[Success] Nothing to synchronize
echo %first_line%|findstr /i "warnings errors aborted" >nul && set subject=[Failed] Synchronization completed with errors

"C:\FFS\mailsend.exe" +cc +bc -v -smtp smtp.gmail.com -ssl -port 465 -auth -user EMAIL -pass PASSWORD -f EMAIL -to EMAIL -cc EMAIL -bc EMAIL -sub "FFS_COMPANYNAME/SOURCE-FOLDER_DESTINATION-FOLDER_WHEN: %time%, %date% - %subject%" -attach "C:\FFS\LastSyncs.log"

Sorry it's the second line not the first. Is there a way to make it work with that? Thanks.

Code: Select all

Anyone guys? Thanks again.

Replace the set /p first_line line with

Code: Select all

(
set /p ignore=
set /p first_line=
)<"C:\FFS\LastSyncs.log"

EDIT: And now that I'm not posting from my phone...

Code: Select all

@echo off
timeout /t 5
set subject=[Failed] The search terms were not found

(
    set /p ignore=
    set /p first_line=
)<"C:\FFS\LastSyncs.log"
echo %first_line%|findstr /i "successfully" >nul && set subject=[Success] Synchronization completed successfully
echo %first_line%|findstr /i /c:"Nothing to synchronize" >nul && set subject=[Success] Nothing to synchronize
echo %first_line%|findstr /i "warnings errors aborted" >nul && set subject=[Failed] Synchronization completed with errors

Something is not working, even if I add pause at the end I don't see the bat starting at all.

Troubleshoot it!

Turn ECHO ON in the batch file.
Run the batch file from the cmd prompt instead of double clicking it.

I see that you changed the code from what ShadowThief has in his post - are you sure that your edit, or a mistake while editing, hasn't made it stop working?

I haven't tested any code here - and I don't have your input file to test with - I'm just saying that the code is different.

[eahm]

I am sure I already did but I will try again with his exact version.

Exact version:

Code: Select all

C:\FFS>mailalert.bat

operable program or batch file.

Yes, the data you provided has a pipe at the start which is hard to see.
Squashman has the answer to that.

I looked at the recent posts in this thread and it looks like you keep editing your posts - do you do that a long time after posting? People will not see the edits if you do that.

Did you remove the data about the input file too?

[eahm]

Sorry I only edit when I say things not relevant to what we are doing and because English is my 3rd language (edit here once).

I have no idea what Squashman did with that reply...

Last test I did was with the version ShadowThief posted and LastSyncs.log already present in the folder.

I can try again and double check every single step?

[Squashman]

Well Foxidrive pointed out what character is causing the problem and I showed you the result of your existing code and what happens when you fix the code.
You should see the difference within the first 6 characters of the code.
