Working with a mapped directory

Hi guys,
I'm new working with batch files. I made this script but it only works propperly when is running in a local resource. When it points to a network mapped directory doesn't catch the list in the same order.
See script below:
Code: Select all
::@echo off
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
cd /D %~dp0
cd A
set i=0
for %%a in (*.*) do set /A i+=1 & set alpha[!i!]=%%a & set gamma[!i!]=%%~na
cd ..
cd B
set i=0
for %%b in (*.*) do set /A i+=1 & set beta[!i!]=%%b
cd ..
set n=%i%
for /L %%i in (1,1,%n%) do "Z:\mkvtoolnix\mkvmerge.exe" -o "output\!gamma[%%i]!.mkv" --track-name 1:dts "A\!alpha[%%i]!" --no-video --sync 0:860,65596/65599 --language 0:Spanish --default-track 0 --track-name 0:ac3 --no-chapters --no-global-tags "B\!beta[%%i]!"
pause
Please some help!! Thx in advance

Can you explain how it fails?

You are saying that the directory listing is not outputting the same for the two different FOR commands?
If so then just try forcing it to do so.
Code: Select all
for /f "delims=" %%a in ('dir /a-d /b /on *.*') do set /A i+=1 & set alpha[!i!]=%%a & set gamma[!i!]=%%~na
for /F "delims=" %%b in ('dir /a-d /b /on *.*') do set /A i+=1 & set beta[!i!]=%%b

The network drive might not be NTFS and so isn't sorting properly - you may be right there Squashman.

I'm trying to merge several matroska with their respective audio tracks. When I run it locally the order is alphabetical, all ok! But running in the mapped drive nothing... seems to follow a completely random order...

As above, the network drive may be a FAT formatted drive which returns the directory entries in an unsorted list.

Thank you very much Squashman! Now working as expected
Furthermore, correct the unit isn't NTFS, had no idea that this would affect

You know you could have probably just done a simple DIR or FOR command at the cmd prompt instead of showing us all the code output. Just saying.
