Thanks.
Couldn't figure it out so I've had to code 150 lines in my batch file instead.

I have two folders. Folder B contains 300 files. The complete set. Folder A contains a subset of folder B. About 120 files. I want to delete the files in folder B that exist in folder A Essentially, folder A is a list of files that are safe to be deleted from Folder B. If it's any easier, I can simp...

Here is what it looks like. There are over 120 games so I won't post the entire games section.. When I said I "Created the file fron scratch" not one line of this code was changed. I recreated the folders.txt file from scratch. The only changes I've made recently are to add .exe to the end of those ...

Indeed. Both of those were pointed out some time ago. And I removed them all a long time ago. It's possible I missed something, but they don't cause the debugger to fail or warn so it's easy to miss them in a long script. I shall check again. EDIT: Nope. All labels that were within ( ) blocks had al...

No, no, I didn't re-write any code at all. When I said I "So I deleted the entire file and recreated it from scratch" I meant I recreated the folders.txt file. There is no old code vs new code. The same code worked after recreating the folders.txt file, imho, reinforcing the earlier statement @ojbak...

I have a font I want to install called Spirit & Ghost.ttf The following code processes a list of font files in a folder. SET SRC=%CD:~0,2% set SrcPath=%SRC%\PostInstall\%USERNAME% :FONTS IF EXIST "%SrcPath%\Fonts\" ( Echo Installing Custom Fonts Echo %time% Installing Custom Fonts >>C:\%USERDOMAIN%....

Just thought I'd update on this. My script is now 8,000 lines and still growing. I've found a free easy to use IDE that includes a debugger from https://sourceforge.net/projects/batch-compiler/ Does lots more than just syntax check and debug scripts, but they are the only features I need atm. Since ...

I still am..
I compared the folders.old.txt with the new one I created and there was 1 byte difference in the file size, but they looked identical. (3610 vs 3609 bytes)

Is seems there is something in you Folders.txt that is not visible in the lines you have posted. You need to examine what is going on inside the for-loop to see why it fails on Runescape. Add the following code to yout batchfile, run it and check the new file FolderDEBUG.txt "%SrcPath%\foldersDEBUG...

Yes. I suspect if SrcPath was not defined the other 30 or so games would also have failed. SrcPath is J:\PostInstall\Corey, see below... SET SRC=%CD:~0,2% set SrcPath=%SRC%\PostInstall\%USERNAME% set RegPath=%SRC%\PostInstall\%USERNAME%\Applications I've run it dozens of times and it is null every s...

Recently I received some excellent support in reading a list of items from a text file and assigning the result to a variable. However, it seems to be struggling with a single entry. This is an abridged list of the games... Overwolf,D:\Program Files (x86)\Overwolf Quake,I:\Program Files (x86)\Quake ...

Legendary stuff.
For some reason I struggle to get my head around the FOR command and assigning variables to stuff. I don't know why. I don't usually have learning disabilities
thanks
