I'm not a programmer or script writer, I don't know the rules. I've tried putting underscores instead of spaces and adding extra quotations, but the script doesn't work... forfiles -p "U:\My Documents\1. RPC\AutoMed Archive" -m *.txt -d -1 /c "cmd /c move @file "U:\My Documents\1...

Ok, I've changed my code as follows:

But now it's telling me "The syntax of the command is incorrect."

When I run my move script it returns

"Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7601]

My delete script without slashes works fine, not sure if this is based on versions...

Hello all, I've been trying to modify a windows batch script to move .txt files that are older than one day into a different folder, but have been unsuccessful. Could someone please help? Here's what I've written so far: forfiles -p "U:\My Documents\1. RPC\AutoMed Archive" -m *.txt -d -1 /...

Don't worry about trying to adjust the name, I got it to work

Thank you so much Compo and Foxidrive for helping me with this!

IT WORKS! You have no idea how relieved and thankful I am! This will make things so much easier for me. One little thing though (I hope it's little), the naming of the file isn't quite working the way I had hoped. In the script you provided I see Set "name=!name:~17,3!-%filenum%-" In my or...

...but you're not looking for the character N, you are looking for any characters as diefined on lines of an identifiers.txt file aren't you? Don't expect that a reply using N can be taken by you and then edited accordingly to work with whatever is hidden in that text file. The current script that ...

Ok, I'm going to try to explain what I'm asking for again as I feel my original request is being misinterpreted. -I already know how to identify the .txt file I want the script to look at -Within this .txt file if for any line, the 195th character = N then remove it from the original .txt file and p...

Does this help? I think it stripped out a bunch of spaces when I posted my previous example...hopefully this works LASTNAME-FIRSTNAME TYPEE LOC LC1-B123-01 A0000000 MEDA1 10000000 0400 1 10 A0000000 A11000100 A11000100 AAUD 1234N10 PRODUCTNAME 680000 LASTNA,FIRSTNAME 11111 1 BAT MOUT INSTRUCTIONS GO...

if a specific character is N, pull this line from the original and include it in a new .txt with "-N" added to it's name.....does this make sense? Is the problem filtering the line itself? We'd need to see the line and know which part needs to be an N. I can't include an actual line from ...

Maybe it would help if I shared more of that I originally had. I have a .txt file that I would reference to identify products I want to separate, but it's becoming too hard to maintain the identifiers in this .txt so I'm wanting to just look at a specific character field instead. In this character f...

Hello everyone, I'm new to batch scripts and hope I can properly communicate my needs in order to receive help. Here's what I'd like to do: 1) set file path: set "filepath=U:\My Documents\" 2) look at a .txt file in a specific location: set "ffile=%filepath%\Extracts\*.txt" Ok......
