Hi , It can be done but it will depend on what the last daily.bat file will do. Let's say it will create a log file called "log3.log" After it finish it's work, so you code your main batch to check for that file if it has been created or not, if it was it continue, else it sleep for a whil...

Note the double quotes

call :ch "%caller%"

Always put your variables between double quotes, whether it has spaces or not, that will save you some troubles.

BTW, !k has it between double quotes in his original code

I agree with Endoro
You have an else statement without it's if statement
And another one you didn't close

First SET All Your Directories ( from ) and ( to )in variables & SET the total number of the directories like this: SET "Max=3" // Max Directory Number SET "DIR1=C:\Test 1" // source Dir number 1 SET "DIR2=D:\Test 2" // source Dir number 2 SET "DIR3=E:\Test 3&q...

Your code is right but you made a big mistake, you told the DIR command to process Directories not Files for /f "tokens=* delims= " %%a in ('dir /b /ad /s') do rename "%%a\*.AG" "*.back" But For More Simple Code & As Endoro Said, try this @Echo OFF For /F "deli...

why you do that, the windows should has this feature ?
beside, i have no idea how to find the update or how to know that it is important or not, maybe some one else knows something.

wow, so close now.thanx, hang in there! issue still with SET "DirName=!FName:~0,-4!" is assuming %1 will always be 4 chars, what about say -disk1, which is 6? hence my routine that counted chars parsed. Oh!, now I see what you mean. This is easy to fix. Replace SET "DirName=!FName:~0...

Try This batch, it should be used like this: Clean.bat "-disk1" "20" The "-disk1" : is the part of the file, like "-cd1" etc... The "20" : is the number of the parts that exist and has the same name part, the default is 10, so if there is more than 1...

If you want the file to hold setting, it doesn't matter what kind of file it is, it could be ini, ext. exe, or even without extensions. The batch file just read what inside and take that as an input and work based on it. So name it .ini, .exe, .txt any thing, just make sure you can extract inputs fr...

Ok, so it's not just 2 parts it could be many. the one i made is just processing 2 parts. But could there be a missing parts like 1,2 and 4 ( no 3 )? Note: it couldn't take input from you becasue i forgot to change the variable in line 5 to: SET "InFilePartName=%~1" try it again and it wil...

Do you mean windows update? I think windows has this feature. (windows 7)

it's might be different, but if you can post a sample of each different naming method, we could find something common in all of then and is used to sort and rename. BTW, if foxidrive code works with you, you can change my code a little and make it then rename srt with the same name. Only after Foxid...

are you sure the srt files has this format " 04x01.srt" and your avi "S04E01"?
I tested it on some files with the same format, i used the names you posted and it worked.

Strange ?
did you put it in the same folder with your avi and srt files ?

Test This, not sure about it, so make sure to check the content of each srt file to see if it match or not. Test on 3 files first @Echo OFF SETLOCAL EnableDelayedExpansion For /F "delims=" %%A In (' DIR /B /A:-D "*.avi" ') Do ( SET "CurrFileName=%%~nA" For /F "toke...
