I please need help to delet writing protection with batch

[StevenK]

hello my friends,

I need to put the texts of two files into one, which is not my biggest problem. I have made two paragraphs in the files the second one is used as a normal signiture. But to put the two files into one with the merging program, I need to delet the writing protection with a batch file to merge it then. so far I have this:

for %%+r in C:\Users\Sr. Test\Desktop\Berichts/Pflegedokumentation geschützt.doc do %%-r
start "" "C:\Program Files (x86)\MS Word Merge Tool\Word merge.exe"

As you can see its a doc-file and saidly batch dont change their attribute from +r in -r.

I cant change it before because then people who make those texts could put an other name under it or forgett about putting down their signitur, and I dont want them to have their change.
I would be so glad if anybody could help, because it is a part of a project and I would love it so much if it is going to work and me getting a good mark.

You should use the "attrib" command for this:

Code: Select all

attrib -r "C:\Users\Sr. Test\Desktop\Berichts/Pflegedokumentation geschützt.doc"

Type "attrib /?" for help.

hello mfm4aa


thank you for your quick respond. It saidly does not work, because the writing protection is a part of the file. So I think its a MS Office-right so I cant change it with a batch file.

So I have to put in a signature read out of the Active Directory on a special place into the file. But I dont know its possible in a normal word file. I have read about putting a signature into an e-mail, but on a normal word file ?

What you are describing is not a batch file function.

If you can find an executable file that will remove the editing lock on the file, and if can work from the command line, then that could be used.

yes, thats what I was thinking.


Thank you very much for your help
