If you want to make the batch list files from different locations (c:\Music, d:\MP3s, etc) then you can previously make a list of all these locations then use a FOR loop to repeat the action for each of them. Depending on your use you can put that list inside the same batch or create a separate file...

The move command can only move files and rename folder. I think you need to use XCOPY then erase the original folder with the RD command

According to your dbasedos.ini file the language driver loaded is DB437ES1 which looks like a 437 page code. If you could find a file named DB850ES1 or similar then you might replace it in the dbasedos.ini file.

I'm glad everything is working now Just the be "more" perfect, the "wait" can be achieved several ways... using PING: ping -n 4 127.0.0.1 >nul or using the SLEEP command if you run Windows Server Usage: sleep time-to-sleep-in-seconds sleep [-m] time-to-sleep-in-milliseconds sleep...

Does this help you?


Or maybe your problem is the same exposed here:

AFAIK run is not a DOS command. Maybe it is an executable file (.exe or .com). In that case it must be in the same directory where the batch is started or in the PATH. Try to search for any run.* file.

I see, this is because of the EXIT command. This one should work: echo off set "sourcedir=D:\BC250_IN" set "destdir=D:\BC250_OUT" cd /d "%sourcedir%" :: Count the number of PDF files set numbfile=0 FOR /F "tokens=*" %%A IN ('dir /b *.pdf 2^>nul') do &#...

I'm not sure to understand what you already did but I would create a batch file named LOADER.BAT with the following code: @echo off call script1.bat call script2.bat Then make that LOADER.BAT start from a scheduled task every minute. And repeat all this per folder needed to be processed. Does it mak...

hmmm... I'm still working on this... special characters are tough ! In the mean time here is the new code fixing a bug when started from the root of a drive: @ECHO OFF SET currentfolder="%cd%" CD .. SET upperfolder="%cd%" IF %upperfolder:~-2,-1%==\ SET upperfolder=%upperfolder:\=...

Ok this should work now: @echo off set "sourcedir=C:\source" set "destdir=C:\dest" cd /d "%sourcedir%" :: Count the number of PDF files set numbfile=0 FOR /F "tokens=*" %%A IN ('dir /b *.pdf 2^>nul') do (set /A numbfile+=1) if %numbfile% LSS 8 ...

I'm not sure if this complies with all your needs but it should get close to it @echo off set "sourcedir=C:\source" set "destdir=C:\dest" cd /d "%sourcedir%" set counter=0 set numb= for %%a in (*.pdf) do call :loop "%%~a" goto :eof :loop set /A counter...

If I understood correctly you want the script to check for a 5-digit sequence at the beginning of the filename and, if only 4 digits present, add the missing digit between the fourth and fifth character (alpha here)? But how can we tell the script what digit to put? In your example the file somepic1...

You need to use the usebackq option in the FOR loop.

I'm not sure why you put the excalamation (!) but this should work:

This should fix the special characters issue: @ECHO OFF SET currentfolder="%cd%" CD .. SET upperfolder="%cd%" CALL SET folder=%%currentfolder:%upperfolder:"=%\=%% CD %folder% TITLE Generating Playlist for %folder% ECHO. ECHO Start time: %time:~0,-3% ECHO Please wait... FOR /...
