Creating filenames automatically with X and Y

[zebzz]

Hi,

I am trying to write a batch script were i will prompt for a 'X' and 'Y' value. I then need to generate files from a single file.

I need to have something like this:-

filename_X01_Y01.xxx
filename_X01_Y02.xxx
filename_X01_Y03.xxx
filename_X01_Y04.xxx
filename_X02_Y01.xxx
filename_X02_Y02.xxx
filename_X02_Y03.xxx
filename_X02_Y04.xxx

The idea is that i need to create all files with all variations of X and Y so if you have value X = 20 and value Y = 20 this would generate 420 files.

At the moment I am generating the names in excel and then pasting them into the batch file. This would then add 420 commands and would be static in the number of files. I would like to have the option to generate a variable amount based on X and Y value.

Any help would be appreciated.

Code: Select all

@echo off
setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion

rem Read last values
set /P "lastX=X = "
set /P "lastY=Y = "

rem Generate the desired names
set /A X=100
for /L %%X in (1,1,%lastX%) do (
   set /A X+=1, Y=100
   for /L %%Y in (1,1,%lastY%) do (
      set /A Y+=1
      echo filename_X!X:~1!_Y!Y:~1!.xxx
   )
)
