Hi! Is there a way to make a batch-script which makes you input the number of folders you want to make, then ask you for it's names and then generates them? Ex: How many folders? 3 Name of folder 1: My Documents Name of folder 2: My Music Name of folder 3: My Pictures Edit: Or simply makes you make ...

Hi, I wish it made them temp but this program doesn't do that. Bat To Exe-Converter ( http://www.f2ko.de/programs.php?lang=en&pid=b2e has this feature. To add folders/sub-folder, the only solution I can think of would be: 1. 7zip the folders. 2. Add the parameters (7z.exe x folder.7z) in the bat...

Hi! Very good, it works Thank you so much. I'm wondering why echo backupExtension %%e is echo'd, when echo %%e works just fine. Kjell edit: I think it's starting to form. @ECHO OFF SETLOCAL ENABLEEXTENSIONS SETLOCAL ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION Set SourcePath=%~0\.. :menuLOOP cls echo. echo.= Menu =======...

Is it possible to use this example from dostips: set sourcedir=c:\Documents and Settings\*.pst set backupdir=c:\pstbackup for /f "tokens=*" %%a in ('dir "%sourcedir%" /s/b') do ( xcopy "%%a" "%backupdir%.%%~pa" /Y/U ) With a .txt file containing lot's of .exte...

I've read that one! I figured out how to delay between the txt-files, but is 0.5 seconds possible? Thanks for the 'for and colour thing' tho Just have to name the txt files better so that it fits in.! If 1 second is minimum all usefulness will be that clock I soon got done.. Humhum Search continues!

Hi! Been enjoying the dostips'tips and for fun, I want to make myself a small animation snipple displayed in cmd.exe... But! I can't find (probably bad use of googleing?) a way to delay execution of next command to under a second. One second delay between the .txt files is just terrible. Soooo, is t...

Brilliant! And many thanks! Ever tried mpxplay btw? Gotta love the retro look

Thanks! Needed to do some editing. But one thing does not work.. Number 1 will not play.. All the others will, but not 1... @echo off setlocal enabledelayedexpansion set cnt=1 set "player=C:\Programs\MPXPLAY\MPXPLAY.EXE" set "list=C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\Playli...

Hi! I'm wondering if its a easier way of doing this. Been searching the forum for hints (and taking code;) the script work, but there will be alot of hardcoding I guess.. And there must be a better way of doing what I want. I have this folder with m3u files. And I want a script to list them up in a ...

Thank you! At first I used reg add HKLM\Software\whereever but it was easier code with regedit -s hurrah.reg like you said. Just hoped that regedit had something like xcopy. xcopy a.exe "%windir%" > C:\ log.txt or something like that... Anyway I will figure a way. Log is not that important...

Thank you Idrechsler That logging method was good! Perhaps I wasn't to clear of what I needed tho. The output I'm looking for is: (I do know I can just find out beforehand where all the files go and hardcode it in.. but is there a way to track files being installed and log it? Log.txt: Adobe Reader ...
