I've tried to rename file from someFile_v4 to someFile_v5 in all folders. Unfortunately I've get error The system cannot find the file specified.
#echo off
for /R %%f in (*_v4.xml) do call :ProcessFile
goto :Finished
:ProcessFile
rename "*_v4.xml" "*_v5.xml"
goto :eof
:Finished
The problem here is that you are using a for loop, which actually does nothing with the variable in this.
Try the following:
(
I also suggest you to consider changing:
for /r to for /f in using dir /s /b /a-d in the loop.
)
#echo off & setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
for /f "tokens=* delims= " %%i in ('dir /s /b /a-d "*_v4.xml"') do (
set "_ren=%%~fi"
for /f "delims=" %%I in ('dir /w /b "%%~i"') do set "_to=%%~nxI"
ren "!_ren!" "!_to:_v4=_v5!"
set _ren=0<nul & set _to=0<nul
)
I cannot explain my code, sorry, because I don't know English well.

I'm trying to extract from a set of txt files the line
placed 2 rows below the one matching search criteria
and redirect output to a csv file.
I managed to do that for a specific txt file in the set,
but I'm getting troubles in writing the For Cycle
to batch-scan each txt in a given folder.
Through this, I wrote the following code to scan
a specific file. It works fine:
setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
cd "myFolder"
if exist myOutput.csv del myOutput.csv
for /F "delims=:" %%A in ('findstr /B /N /C:"myCriteria" "myFile.txt"') do (
set /A LineBelow=%%A+2
set "LineBelow=!LineBelow!: "
)
(for /F "tokens=1* delims=:" %%A in ('findstr /N "^" "myFile.txt" ^| findstr /B "%LineBelow%"') do ^
echo %%B>>myOutput.csv)
start myOutput.csv
ENDLOCAL
When I tried to generalize the code in a For Cycle to scan each txt in myFolder
I got an error in Findstr: !LineBelow! happens to be an empty variable...
Here's the flawed For Cycle:
setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
cd "myFolder"
if exist myOutput.csv del myOutput.csv
for %%F IN ("*.txt") do (
(
for /F "delims=:" %%A in ('findstr /B /N /C:"myCriteria" "%%F"') do (
set /A LineBelow=%%A+2
set "LineBelow=!LineBelow!: "
))
(for /F "tokens=1* delims=:" %%A in ('findstr /N "^" "%%F" ^| findstr /B "!LineBelow!"') do ^
echo %%B>>myOutput.csv))
start myOutput.csv
ENDLOCAL
Could anybody help me in correcting this code?
Thanks
#echo off
setlocal enableextensions enabledelayedexpansion
cd "myFolder"
> myOutput.csv (
for /f "tokens=1,2 delims=:" %%a in ('
findstr /b /n /c:"myCriteria" *.txt
') do (
set /a "line=%%b+2"
for /f "tokens=1,* delims=:" %%c in ('
findstr /n "^" "%%a" ^| findstr /b /c:"!line!:" 2^>nul
') do echo(%%d
)
)
This uses findstr to directly enumerate all the lines matching the myCriteria and include in the output the name of the file (%%a) and the number of the line (%%b). This information is used to retrieve the final line (%%d) from the matching files.
I have a path:
\%VARIABLE%svr0001\e$\Users\%VARIABLE%POS00??\E2ELOGS*.dbg
The ONLY characters that changes is the '??' (%VARIABLE%POS00??).
Values could be from 01 through 15 (01,02,03,04,05,06,07,08,09,10,11,12,13,14,15)
How would I make the following script work without creating if path exist statements for every potential changing value:
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
for /f "delims=" %%a in ('find /c /i "Error : -2" "\\%VARIABLE%svr0001\e$\Users\%VARIABLE%POS00??\E2ELOGS\*.dbg"') do (
set "$line=%%a"
set "$lastchar=!$line:~-1!"
if !$lastchar! gtr 0 echo %%a >>NO_ACK_ERROR-2.txt
)
Try like this :
#echo off
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
for /l %%x in (1,1,15) do (
set "$number=0%%x"
for /f "delims=" %%a in ('find /c /i "Error : -2" "\\%VARIABLE%svr0001\e$\Users\%VARIABLE%POS00!$number:~-2!\E2ELOGS\*.dbg"') do (
set "$line=%%a"
set "$lastchar=!$line:~-1!"
if !$lastchar! gtr 0 echo %%a >>NO_ACK_ERROR-2.txt
))
If I understood it correct, you want to check the log files with the name POS001-POS0015, below may be the answer for you.
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
for /l %%i in (1,1,15) do (
set "num=%%i"
if "!num:~0,1!" neq "0" set "num=0!num!"
set "filepath=\\%VARIABLE%svr0001\e$\Users\%VARIABLE%POS00!num!\E2ELOGS\*.dbg"
for /f "delims=" %%a in ('find /c /i "Error : -2" "!filepath!"') do (
set "$line=%%a"
set "$lastchar=!$line:~-1!"
if !$lastchar! gtr 0 echo %%a >>NO_ACK_ERROR-2.txt
)
Cheers, G
So I want to Echo %%a into another txt file, but seems nothing works to me.
Here's the code :
for /f "delims=" %%a in (
'dir "*.txt" /b /s /a-d'
) do Echo for /f "delims=" %%a in ^( >> "%%a"
Simple : output file looks like:
"for /f "delims=" C:\Documents and
Settings\xxxxx\Desktop\alpha\lol.txt in ( " .
I just need not a full path but "%%a". Bat file.
You want the literal %%a ?
Try %%%%a
Second suggestion:
Try %%%%^a
Third - change the metavariable (loop-control variable) to %%b
for /f "delims=" %%b in (
'dir "*.txt" /b /s /a-d'
) do Echo for /f "delims=" %%%%a in ^( >> "%%b"
Try this:
for /f "delims=" %%a in ('dir "*.txt" /b /s /a-d' ) do Echo %%a >> output.txt
As you saw, it's not directly possible to escape the %%a expression in a loop.
But like Magoo mention, it can be solved with changing the loop parameter.
You could also use the parser to create the %%a output.
setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
set "static=for /f "delims=" %%%%a in ("
for /f "delims=" %%a in ( 'dir "*.txt" /b /s /a-d') do (
echo !static! >> "%%a"
)
The content of the variable static will be expanded, but the inner %%a will not expanded later.
I need a batch script to list .avi|.mp4 and run a command for all directories that contain such files:
mencoder.exe <some_arguments> -o "output/(name_of_directory).mp4" <list_of_files_in_directory_spearated_by_spaces_evey_file_quoted>
Could anybody help me with that? Is it possible at all?
I made a script in PHP, compiled it with BamCompile, but it seems to act totally different on Windows 8, arrays are being converted to strings and something really weird is goin on...
try this:
#echo off &setlocal
cd /d "%userprofile%\Videos"
for /f "tokens=1*delims=:" %%a in ('dir /b /a-d *.avi *.mp4^|findstr /n $') do set "$%%a=%%~b"
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
for /f "tokens=1*delims==" %%a in ('set "$" 2^>nul') do set "line=!line! "%%~b""
echo mencoder.exe [some_arguments] -o "output/(name_of_directory).mp4" %line%
Look at the output and remove echo if it looks good.
See if this floats your boat. ! characters are verboten in paths and filenames.
#echo off
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
cd /d "%userprofile%\Videos"
for /f "delims=" %%a in ('dir /s /b /a-d *.avi *.mp4') do (
for /f "delims=" %%b in ("%%~dpa.") do (
set "line="
for %%c in ("%%~dpa*.*") do set line=!line! "%%c"
echo mencoder.exe [some_arguments] -o "output\%%~nxb.mp4" !line!
pause
)

I am trying to monitor the install of software on our servers remotly with a script by checking the .dll file version. I am not sure if this can be done but after the install on all of the servers I would like to run a bat file to look at all of the servers and create a log file with the server name and that .dll file version number. Suggestions would be great. Thanks.
First download STRINGS.EXE from here (to handle unicode).

Here is a little something I have been using for quite a while. It does a bit more than you asked for but maybe someone else would prefer to have all of this. You can easily delete the parts you don't want. Add/remove file types as you like and remove the output sections you don't want. It does not do exactly what you asked but the hard part is done and you can adapt as you see fit. Save the code as FileVersions.bat (or whatever). Put this bat file and the downloaded STRINGS.EXE in the same folder. Execute this bat file to get output in FileVersions.txt (or whatever you name bat file). It will look something like this. Gets versions for all specified file types in folders underneath the current folder. Get this modified as you desire and then handle multiple machines as you see fit.
