Hi All....
I want to run the second command starting with the "md mapsonly" only after the line above has completed it's job.
The time it takes to complete the 1st task will vary from 5 seconds to 5 minutes.
How can I accomplish this without calling a 2nd external batch file?
Thanks!
Val
@echo off
md vehicsonly
for /f "eol=: delims=" %%F in ('findstr /m /I vehicles *.idf') do @move "%%F" vehicsonly >nul
md mapsonly
for /f "eol=: delims=" %%F in ('findstr /m /I maps *.idf') do @move "%%F" mapsonly >nul

Those commands all run sequentially as it is.
Can you explain further?

Foxidrive....
Sorry,I didn't know that.
What I thought was that the way I had it coded it would run simultaneously.
Thanks for letting me know.
I appreciate it!

What made you think that? What if your next command relied on the output of the previous command?
What do you think would happen if it was a FOR /L command that looped for a couple million iterations?
