Also realize that Microsoft has put wmic.exe on its deprecation list. It will be removed from Windows in the near future. That being said you can call out to powershell from a batch file to get the date and time. FOR /F "usebackq delims=" %%G IN (`powershell "(Get-Date).ToString('yyyy-MM-dd-hh-mm-ss...

Re: Mass Batch help please

cmd.exe has a line execution limit of 8192 characters. When you drag and drop files onto a batch file you are sending in every fully qualified path to the file plus quotes if the file path has spaces. Reading the directory with a FOR command is a much better option.

I wrote a new solution for this problem that allows a simple (and fast!) processing of a large number of replacements. I posted my solution in the original SO forum (because I can earn some rep points there)...

Thanks. Will check them out.

I contacted our DB2 admin to see what could be done - looks like IBM has an official Windows batch/command line option.

Saso

Re: SQL client to use from batch

We got rid of DB2 on our Mainframe many years ago, but whomever is the DB admin can give the client to install.

Re: netsh Interface name store as variable

Based on your initial netsh output you do not have any interfaces that are "Connected" and are "Ethernet" What output are expecting when nothing matches?
