When i copy files to a some network path with xcopy command I get new virtual drives on my pc .
The problem is that i do that within a batch script that runs in scheduler so i get there a lot of drives to same location.
How I can copy files to a network with out getting a new drives on the pc or just remove them
?
Thanks.
Wait a minute. You're using pushd. pushd, as the documentation states:
If Command Extensions are enabled the
PUSHD command accepts network paths in
addition to the normal drive letter
and path. If a network path is
specified, PUSHD will create a
temporary drive letter that points to
that specified network resource and
then change the current drive and
directory, using the newly defined
drive letter. Temporary drive letters
are allocated from Z: on down, using
the first unused drive letter found.
While that's perfectly fine to use, you should never call pushd without an appropriate popd afterwards.
So instead of just
pushd \\somepath\etc
xcopy "%mycopyposition%*.exe"
you add another line
popd
which will de-allocate the temporary drive letter again.
It sounds like the command you are using to call xcopy. Can we see that ?
the net command is your fiend (as good a fiend you can get on Windows). To remove a network drive you might want to look at:
net use /?

I have two computers that aren't networked. I need to replicate the folder structure of one drive that exists on one computer and put it on the other computer. Both Windows 7 machines. I don't need the files, just folders/directories. The drive letters are the same on both computers (Y). The computers are miles apart physically, but I do have access to the computer I am trying to get the folder structure of via LogMeIn.
I am thinking I need to save the folder structure to a file using some process. Move that file to my computer (via email or LogMeIn File Manager) and run some process to put in on my computer.
Is there a better solution? If not, is there code out there to do this via VBA, Cmd window, .bat script, VB.NET, or VBS? I know I can write it in VBA, but I'd rather not recreate the wheel if I don't have to.
I don't have a 'process'/program that does this. LogMeIn File Manager doesn't do this either (I asked). There are lots of paths on this drive that I need so creating them by hand would take a long time. I searched and found a lot of solutions that work with computers that are networked, but these computers are not networked, hence why I think I need to save it to a file. Again, I don't want all the files on the drive (its huge and most of the files are unnecessary), just folders.
thanks.
Create a directory listing of the source computer and redirect the output to a text file:
dir /ad /b /s >> dirlist.txt
The switches to dir are (more info at MS TechNet):
/ad List only files with attribute of directory
/b Bare format (no heading information or summary)
/s Displays files in specified directory and all subdirectories
Transfer dirlist.txt from the source computer to the destination computer.
On the destination computer, use a for /F with that text file from the command prompt to create the directory structure:
for /F "delims=" %i in (dirlist.txt) do md "%i"
The switches to for are documented at MS TechNet
You have many options:
Windows command xcopy source destination /T /E. The /T option creates the directory structure, and the /E option includes empty directories.
Bundle the empty directory structure into an installer (perhaps as a zip file).
If the structure isn't relatively small and not likely to change, you could just put a bunch of md commands into a batch file.
Combination - xcopy the structure locally, zip it, transfer it, unzip it.
I'm using XAMPP on my USB flash drive - which makes it easy for me to take my dev. environment with me from one PC to another.
However, I want to be able to serve files for my projects directly from my /Projects folder - which is in the root of the drive - instead of having to copy this folder into /htdocs.
I've read on the web that I can easily do this by adding an alias to 'httpd.conf' - but I would then need to hard-code the drive letter - which can be different for every PC I plug my USB into.
Is there any way to add a dynamic driver letter to my alias ?
Or - can I maybe use a relative path somehow ?
Or - am I going about it wrong and there's a better way to do it ?
Thanks in adv!
First of all, I think you already know that xampp lite supports relative addressing to run it in portable mod.
But when it comes to location of htdocs folder, I didnt experienced something like that. But I can offer some alternates (without moving the htdocs folder) which can be useful.
This simple .bat file (located in the same root of xampp folder)
#ECHO OFF
:START
Start xampp\htdocs
Can open your "htdocs" folder without depending to drive letter.
If you try to make something more complicated, here it comes the drive letter variable in .bat
#ECHO OFF
PUSHD \
SET AMOVIBLE=%CD%
POPD
ECHO %AMOVIBLE%
PAUSE
This example will show you the drive letter that the bat file executed from. Just move the %AMOVIBLE% variable wherever you want in your code.
And if variables from an external file is needed
Define variable
(SET /P var=)<sometextfile.txt
MKDIR folder\%var%\folder\
This can help.
So, if the movement of htdocs folder is not obligated, I think these will help. If not, sorry out of my range :)

The only way I found out to execute my script with the Love2d framework is to zip all of it and then rename the zip to love. This kinds of take a lot of time for a small modification. Is there a faster way to do it? I tried to command line and I get this error
'love' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
LÖVE also executes folders if they have the main.lua in them - you can just drag and drop the folder onto the application, or call it from the command line with the folder as the argument if you prefer.
LÖVE runs the contents of a folder if it can find a main.lua in it (Like Bill said).
[Note that it doesn't check subfolders].
There are three ways to run a love2D program, you can:
a) Drag the folder over the love.exe binary/link (This works in Win and *Nix, I don't know about OS X).
b) Navigate to the directory that is one level above the folder and type love [folder containing main.lua]
or
c) Zip it up and rename the .zip to a .love. Then double click the .love file
Option 'b' will fail if the binary is not in the %PATH%(Windows) or $PATH(*Nix) variable
(It will spout an error message like 'love' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. on windows and bash: love: command not found on linux).
There are two ways to solve this:
(Both require ADMIN/root privileges, )
1) Add the love binary to the PATH variable. Here's how to do this in windows and in linux (In linux you want to do something like this: PATH=$PATH:$HOME/where/ever/you/put/love/)
2) You can add a link to the love2D binary in C:\WINDOWS\system32 or /usr/bin/.
In windows you create a shortcut to the love.exe (wherever you installed it to) and then drag it into C:\WINDOWS\system32. In linux you can run this:
sudo link /path/to/love/binary /usr/bin/love && sudo chmod ugo+rwx /usr/bin/love
I hope this helps!

I found this to be very helpful when i started. Hope this helps
A Guide to Getting Started With Love2d
If you're using Mac OS, you should run using:
open -a love xxx.love
To recreate a file as .love, you can run in command line:
zip xxx.love file1.lua file2
If you just want to replace a file in .love:
zip -r xxx.love file1.lua
I think this will make your work easier.
simple way:
create folder /path/to/Game
put your files (main.lua, conf.lua, ...) in folder /path/to/Game
you can run script like this:
love /path/to/Game/
or if you use Linux, you can go in folder (cd /path/to/Game) and type just:
love .
(dot means that you want to run it form in folder
I found a simple solution for save time.
You have to create a file .bat with this simple command:
del Project.love
7z.exe a Project.zip ..\Project\*
ren Project.zip Project.love
For do this you need to download 7zip and insert this file (file.bat) into the folder of your project. Like this:
Good work!
If you're yousing Notepad++ to write your code, just open your main.lua file, then go to Run and add there this text including quotes:
"Path" "$(CURRENT_DIRECTORY)"
Where Path is a Full path to love.exe.
The save it to a key combination and now you can test your code by using this combination in any script at Notepad++.
If you use Sublime Text, you can make a build which runs your application.

While in Sublime Text press CMD + B or Ctrl + B
I have a program which when it runs it fills Temp folder with lots of .tmp files. This is causing C drive to fill up. I have been asked to investigate if it's possible to write a script in dos to delete temporary files on startup. I also wish to delay the program starting until all files are deleted. This would need to happen every time on start-up. It would be great if this could be installed via a flash drive.
I would be grateful on any pointers on how this could be done
The little batch I am using to delete my temporary files:
#echo off
rd %temp% /s /q
md %temp%
cls
echo Temporary Files have been deleted!
echo.
pause
%temp% is a path which always results in your current temporary folder. However note that there are more temporary file locations like C:\Windows\temp.
If you just want to delete TMP files, go with del C:\<MyPath>\*.tmp.
There are probably more sophisticated ways, but the good old fashioned del c:\Temp\*.* should be a good start.
There's a list of all the options, here: http://www.computerhope.com/delhlp.htm
You will probably want /F (delete read only), /S (sub-directories) and /Q (quiet)
I assume, the following row in c:\autoexec.bat file may help:
del c:\path\to\temp\files\*.tmp
Cheers for replies. This is what I'm using
c:
cd \
cd "c:\Documents and Settings\user\Local Settings\Temp\"
del *.tmp /f/s/q
echo All tmp files deleted.
pause
This seems to do what I want it to do. Now I need it to do this everytime PC starts up. Is there a way to install this via flash drive? ie write a batch file with all commands, put on flash drive. double click .bat file, now installed and will run on startup? (Have a number of PCs which need same thing)
can someone help me with a dos script to move all files from one location to another location
move <sourcepath>\*.* <destpath>
IE, if you wanted to move all files from c:\test\ to c:\test2
move c:\test\*.* c:\test2
if you want to suppress the prompt to overwrite files
move /Y c:\test\*.* c:\test2
If you want to move from the current directory, you can specify just the *.*. Also you can do relative paths. So if you want to move the current directory's files up one directory, you'd do
move *.* ..
.. being the shortcut for "up one directory"
If it's across the network, you can use a UNC path to authenticate as the user you're logged in as or map a drive (using the NET USE command) to specify a username/password on the remote computer, then copy using that drive letter. You can then delete the drive letter after you're done. UNC paths look like \\computer\share\folder\file.txt
I think this one
C:\> MOVE /Y *.* C:\Destination
should be corrected.
Use Robocopy. In Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 you can even run it multi-threaded using the /MT[:n] switch. From my daily "sync-before-shutdown" script:
Robocopy "d:\dev" "\\dolores\backups\carrie\dev" /e /MT /njh /njs /nc /np /nfl /ndl
(all the /n.. switches suppress console output which helps to speed up the copying process).
To move the files, use either /MOV or /MOVE (to move all subfolders) instead of /E.
