HELP ME!
Posted: 09 Nov 2011 23:07
Hi,
Whenever I run this I click and drag to an open cmd window and then I run it and it says ": was unexpected at this time".
Why?
Here is my code (my longest yet):
What happens is when I run it is supposed to look for the text string listschedtasks /newtask /userinput=1 and execute the code that occurs in the "do" section of the "for" string. But for me it says "findstr- /c ignored" "findstr- cannot open %b%" "invalid command".
And then it continues with the program from :recurdate and then comes up with the error "endlocal)" is not recognised as a internal or external command or batch file."
Could you at least attempt to explain this?
Regards,
Rileyh
