Hello everyone,
I am new at batch coding. I want to get all the folder and subfolder of a directory (full path), set the as VAR in strings and parse them to get the parts i need.
I have this at the moment
Code: Select all
@echo off
set count=1
for /f %%a in ('dir /s /on /b /ad') do (call :sdosums %%a)
goto :eof
:sdosums
echo str%count%=%1
set /a count+=1
pause
goto :eof
It does echo what i want but I do not know how to create a workable string from it
Thanks

del str.txt /q
set str
pause

:sdosums

If you have a lot of folders you will get an overflow of variable str. IMHO not a good idea to work with a "string". Maybe you could "manipulate" the pathes on the fly. Depends on what you meant if you said you would like to "manipulate" something.

I need to separate with "/" and rebuild a paths over a remote server so that is way I was looking to get something on the line:
str1=c:/blabla/test1
str2=c:/blabla/test2
str3=c:/blabla/test3
then from there rebuild as:
i/caf/test1
i/caf/test2
i/caf/test3
I do understand that for instance with python i would have a better choice, but not everybody has a python at the office.

So true, so true.

Hmm. It seems you want to replace a substring of the path and convert the Windows path (back slashes) to an Unix path (slashes).
The whole thing on the fly:
Code: Select all
@echo off &setlocal
set "OldStr=C:\blabla"
set "NewStr=i/caf"
for /f "delims=" %%a in ('dir /s /on /b /ad') do (
set "str=%%~a"
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
set "str=!str:%OldStr%=%NewStr%!"
set "str=!str:\=/!"
echo !str!
endlocal
)
pause
What next?
