Batch File to edit specific line of Text file

[werejago]

For example could you break down the script?

Call :GetIn Num
setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
>"!file!.~tmp" echo(!line1!
>>"!file!.~tmp" echo(!num!
<"!file!" >>"!file!.~tmp" more +2

Okay I came up with another mission with my Serialization text file script.

I want to verify the lines of the copied text file has "3331" text lines to verify the file hasn't been modified.

I'm trying to have a verification process that the Serialization file.txt (copied from master folder) has the correct amount of text lines, "3331".

And if not alert the user that their isn't a match and to confirm if they wish to continue.

This is the current batch code I'm using for this project below.

Code: Select all

@echo off
rem /*_________________________________________Deletes all Files in folder besides itself or other folders */ 
9>>"%~f0" (>nul 2>&1 del /f /q *.*)

rem /*_________________________________________Copies files from Master Files folder and renames designated files */ 
xcopy "Z:\Production\Cell 3 and 4\Laser Engraver Master Files" "Z:\Users\Wesley Kirk\Wes2\Barcode Serialization Files" 
rename "Sensor Engraving Master File.EZD" "Sensor Engraving.EZD"
rename "Sensor Serialization Master File.txt" "Sensor Serialization.txt"


@echo off & Goto :Main
rem /*_________________________________________Functions; sets parameters, sets input, verfies input to parameters */
:GetIN
 Setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
 Set "Input=(Set "nVar="&Echo/Enter # Digit Work Order:&(For /L %%. in (1 1 #)Do For /F "Delims=" %%G in ('Choice /N /C 0123456789')Do (<Nul Set /P"=%

%G"&Set "nvar=^^!nVar^^!%%G"))&Echo/&Echo/Confirm: ^^!nVar^^! Y/N & For /F "Delims=" %%v in ('Choice /N')Do (If /I "%%~v"=="n" (Goto :retry)))"
:retry
 %Input:#=8% & Echo/Var [!nVar!] Confirmed
 Endlocal & Set "%1=%nVar%" 2> Nul
Exit /B 0

rem /*_________________________________________Script Body; reads/writes to Serialization.txt line 2 */ 
:Main
set "file=Sensor Serialization.txt"
<"%file%" set /p "line1="
Call :GetIn Num
setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
>"!file!.~tmp" echo(!line1!
>>"!file!.~tmp" echo(!num!
<"!file!" >>"!file!.~tmp" more +2
move /y "!file!.~tmp" "!file!"
Endlocal

rem /*_________________________________________Starts notepad/ezcad2, opens Serialization.txt/sensor engraving.ezd to verify workorder number  */ 
start notepad "Sensor Serialization.txt"

why not a simple line counter with something like this:

Code: Select all

Set "lines="&For /F "Delims=" %%F in (%~1)Do Set /A lines+=1

with %~1 being a stand in for the file you want to get the line count for.

Of course, the line count being the same doesn't actually mean the file hasn't been modified. File attributes such as last written date and byte count are additional data points you can use to verify the file has not been modified if it's critical to your scripts execution.

Code: Select all

For /F "Delims=" %%G in ('dir /B "%~1" /A:-D /O:D /T:W')Do (set "WriteD=%%~tG" & Set "Fsize=%%~zG")

again, with %~1 being a stand in for the file you want to get the attributes for.

For example could you break down the script?

Code: Select all

@echo off & Goto :Main
rem /*_________________________________________Functions */
:GetIN
 Setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
 Set "Input=(Set "nVar="&Echo/Enter # Digit Integer:&(For /L %%. in (1 1 #)Do For /F "Delims=" %%G in ('Choice /N /C 0123456789')Do (<Nul Set /P"=%%G"&Set "nvar=^^!nVar^^!%%G"))&Echo/&Echo/Confirm: ^^!nVar^^! Y/N & For /F "Delims=" %%v in ('Choice /N')Do (If /I "%%~v"=="n" (Goto :retry)))"
:retry
 %Input:#=8% & Echo/Var [!nVar!] Confirmed
 Endlocal & Set "%1=%nVar%" 2> Nul
Exit /B 0
rem /*_________________________________________Script Body */ 
:Main
set "file=Sensor Serialization.txt"
<"%file%" set /p "line1="
Call :GetIn Num
setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
>"!file!.~tmp" echo(!line1!
>>"!file!.~tmp" echo(!num!
<"!file!" >>"!file!.~tmp" more +2
move /y "!file!.~tmp" "!file!"
Endlocal

First up:

Code: Select all

@echo off & Goto :Main

- Control script flow - prevent unwanted execution of function labels by using Goto :main label

Code: Select all

:GetIN
 Setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
  Set "Input=(Set "nVar="&Echo/Enter # Digit Integer:&(For /L %%. in (1 1 #)Do For /F "Delims=" %%G in ('Choice /N /C 0123456789')Do (<Nul Set /P"=%%G"&Set "nvar=^^!nVar^^!%%G"))&Echo/&Echo/Confirm: ^^!nVar^^! Y/N & For /F "Delims=" %%v in ('Choice /N')Do (If /I "%%~v"=="n" (Goto :retry)))"

- Called label :GetIn uses %1 as a return var to return the accepted input value
- Input Macro: Uses For /F loops to iterate over the choice command a number of times equal to the value substituted for # when the macro is expanded. Parenthesis within the macro's definition is used to seperate the for loop that is used to select and concatenate input values from the For /F loop over choice that is used to accept or reject the value, with the script looping to the retry label if the concatenated value is rejected.
- because the macro is defined in a delayed expansion environment, escaping of the ! character with ^^ is required to prevent the parser expanding the string as a variable during the macro's definition. Once defined in this manner, a macro contains the literal value of "!string!" as opposed to "variables value".

Code: Select all

:retry
 %Input:#=8% & Echo/Var [!nVar!] Confirmed
 

- "%Input:#=8%" is the expansion of the input macro, using substring modification syntax to supply the input length
- "& Echo/Var [!nVar!] Confirmed" executes after the input macro finishes executing, once a value has been accepted.

Code: Select all

 Endlocal & Set "%1=%nVar%" 2> Nul
Exit /B 0

- using concatenation of the Endlocal & Set command on the same line (or within code block) allows a variable value to be returned across the endlocal barrier.
- "2> Nul" redirects a syntax error for some reason the function is called without a parameter for a return var
- "Exit /B 0" ends the command process created with the Call command and returns to the parent script from the point immediately after the call

A clearer, remarked expression of the above input macro used in the :GetIn function,as it would be scripted if it was used whole as a function as opposed to a macro:

Code: Select all

:GetIN <ReturnVar> <Required String Length as Integer>
rem /* Ensure environment that allows for concatenation of variables with values with correct values during code blocks */
 Setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
 rem /* ensure no conflict with any potential pre-existing nVar variable used to build input string */
 Set "nVar="
 Echo/Enter a %2 Digit Integer [0-9]:
 rem /* use a For /L loop n times to enact a for /F loop on the Choice command, with n being the value passed as Arg 2. [Substring modification replacing # in macro]  */
  rem /* the for /F loop catches the literal character entered as the choice instead of the errorlevel, each input is displayed on same line using Set /P */
  rem /* Note: /N switch MUST be used and /M switch CANNOT be used to correctly catch input from choice using the For /F loop */
 For /L %%. in (1 1 %2)Do For /F "Delims=" %%G in ('Choice /N /C 0123456789')Do (
  <Nul Set /P"=%%G"
  rem /* Build the string using delayed expansion to update it with each new input */
  Set "nvar=!nVar!%%G"
 )
 Echo/
 Echo/Confirm: !nVar! Y/N
  rem /* Use default choice to confirm entered string is acceptable, send to retry label if rejected */
 For /F "Delims=" %%v in ('Choice /N')Do  If /I "%%~v"=="n" (Goto :retry)
 Echo/%1 [!nVar!] Confirmed
  rem /* end the Setlocal used in the function and tunnel the return value to Arg 1 return variable by concatenating the commands on the same line */
 Endlocal & Set "%1=%nVar%" 2> Nul
  rem /* Exit the command process initiated by Call :GetIn and return to the script immedatialy after the point the call was initiated */
 Exit /B 0

"<" , ">" and ">>" are redirection operators that instruct cmd.exe what source to read or write input from, with:
- "<" being read
- ">" being overwrite
- ">>" being Append

- "Set /P" can only ever read the first line of input from a file as a single command.

Not used in this script, however: A code block can be used to read multiple lines from a file with multiple Set /P commands Eg:

Code: Select all

 <"file.ext" (
 Set /P "line1="
 Set /P "line2="
)

Code: Select all

 >"!file!.~tmp" echo(!line1!

- Overwite / Write new "!file!.~tmp" with output line value of !line1!

Code: Select all

 >>"!file!.~tmp" echo(!num!

- Append value entered for num via :GetIn function and input macro to "!file!.~tmp"

Code: Select all

 <"!file!" >>"!file!.~tmp" more +2

- read file "!file!" and append lines 3 and onwards to "!file!.~tmp", using the +n syntax of the more command to 'skip' the first two lines.

Code: Select all

setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion

- in the context of macro definition and expansions, allows control of how strings are parsed at the time of expansion by inhibiting the expansion of yet to be defined variables during the macro's definiton.

- In the context of expanding file names from variables or contents of lines from files that have been assigned to variables, allows parsing of content containing poison characters that would otherwise cause the command interpreter to fail. Can present a problem if filenames or contents contain ! characters, as they will attempt to expand during parsing when they are defined. If this is likely to present a problem, This can be avoided by defining such variables in an Environment where delayed expansion is disabled, and enabling delayed expansion only when the values of such variables need to be assessed or output.

Apologies if I've broken it down too far, I've made no assumptions regarding your current knowledge base.

Thank you T3rry that's exactly what I was looking for - a detailed explanation.

Does anyone know of an easy way to add a "verify if a text file is read only or not" and if it is to continue the script and if not to ask if you want to continue with the script or not?



I'm trying to verify the "Sensor Serialization Master File.txt" is read only before it copies/paste/renames the file into a new folder.

This is the entirely of my script below...



@echo off
rem /*_________________________________________Deletes all Files in folder besides itself or other folders */
9>>"%~f0" (>nul 2>&1 del /f /q *.*)

rem /*_________________________________________Copies and rename designated files */
xcopy "Z:\Users\Wesley Kirk\Wes\Laser Engraver Master Files" "Z:\Users\Wesley Kirk\Wes\Barcode Serialization Files"
rename "Sensor Engraving Master File.EZD" "Sensor Engraving.EZD"
rename "Sensor Serialization Master File.txt" "Sensor Serialization.txt"


@echo off & Goto :Main
rem /*_________________________________________Functions; sets permeteres, sets input */
:GetIN
Setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
Set "Input=(Set "nVar="&Echo/Enter # Digit Integer:&(For /L %%. in (1 1 #)Do For /F "Delims=" %%G in ('Choice /N /C 0123456789')Do (<Nul Set /P"=%%G"&Set

"nvar=^^!nVar^^!%%G"))&Echo/&Echo/Confirm: ^^!nVar^^! Y/N & For /F "Delims=" %%v in ('Choice /N')Do (If /I "%%~v"=="n" (Goto :retry)))"
:retry
%Input:#=8% & Echo/Var [!nVar!] Confirmed
Endlocal & Set "%1=%nVar%" 2> Nul
Exit /B 0
rem /*_________________________________________Script Body */
:Main
set "file=Sensor Serialization.txt"
<"%file%" set /p "line1="
Call :GetIn Num
setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
>"!file!.~tmp" echo(!line1!
>>"!file!.~tmp" echo(!num!
<"!file!" >>"!file!.~tmp" more +2
move /y "!file!.~tmp" "!file!"
Endlocal



start notepad "Sensor Serialization.txt"

within a for loop, the for metavriable can be expanded with the modifier ~a to output the files attributes. Output is a list of letters indicating attributes in format:

Code: Select all

--a--------

  R   Read-only file attribute.
  A   Archive file attribute.
  S   System file attribute.
  H   Hidden file attribute.
  O   Offline attribute.
  I   Not content indexed file attribute.
  X   No scrub file attribute.
  V   Integrity attribute.
  P   Pinned attribute.
  U   Unpinned attribute.
  B   SMR Blob attribute.

this can be used to test for a specific attribute by outputing the variable containing the attrib modifier to findstr and testing for the relevent letter.
conditional operators && and || can be used to enact commands depending on whether the attribute is present or not.

Code: Select all

For /F "delims=" %%G in ('dir /b "Sensor Serialization Master File.txt"')Do (Echo/%%~aG | findstr /lic:r > nul 2> nul && Echo read only || echo not read only)

As for the easy menu aspect of your question, feel free to check out my menu macro's in the 2nd script in my answer here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/61823099/12343998

Alternately:

Code: Select all

(dir /b "Sensor Serialization Master File.txt" /A:r > nul 2> nul && Echo/true) || Echo/false

[werejago]

I couldn't get a test sample running on the command (dir /b "Sensor Serialization Master File.txt" /A:r > nul 2> nul && Echo/true) || Echo/false
is there anything I'm missing ? I tried Pause or Echo on/off to no success.

Thank you

[werejago]

Also I tried implementing:

For /F "delims=" %%G in ('dir /b "Z:\Users\Wesley Kirk\Wes\Laser Engraver Master Files\Sensor Serialization Master File.txt"')Do (Echo/%%~aG | findstr /lic:r > nul 2> nul && Echo read only || echo not read only)


It says file is not read only-when it is read only.

Also I'm trying to have the user acknowledge the file is read only by confirming along with confirming the 8 digit work order number.

that will occur if the file is in a directory other than the working directory the batch is running from. use the full path, or navigate to that directory using pushd

[werejago]

I have a dyer request. I'm having trouble modifying the code below and I'm trying to add a modification.


The first Completed objective is to have a user input an "8 digit work order number" into a command prompt to edit line 2 in "Serilization file.txt".

Now...the next objective is to slightly modify how the user is prompt; to be able to start in any position on text line 4 (ex. position: 01A01 through 26H16) in the "Serilization file.txt" (another program uses Serilization file.txt as a reference point on which position it's on).

Ex. I already have this:
User clicks .bat file to automate a cmd prompt window to ask user for, "8 digit work order number" and to enter "Y/N" to confirm.
The current code that successfully modifies the "8 digit work order number" (text line 2) in the "Serialization file.txt" is below.

Code: Select all

@echo off & Goto :Main
rem /*_________________________________________Functions; sets parameters, sets input, verfies input to parameters */
:GetIN
 Setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
 Set "Input=(Set "nVar="&Echo/Enter # Digit Work Order:&(For /L %%. in (1 1 #)Do For /F "Delims=" %%G in ('Choice /N /C 0123456789')Do (<Nul Set /P"=%%G"&Set "nvar=^^!nVar^^!%%G"))&Echo/&Echo/Confirm: ^^!nVar^^! Y/N & For /F "Delims=" %%v in ('Choice /N')Do (If /I "%%~v"=="n" (Goto :retry)))"
:retry
 %Input:#=8% & Echo/Var [!nVar!] Confirmed
 Endlocal & Set "%1=%nVar%" 2> Nul
Exit /B 0

rem /*_________________________________________Script Body; reads/writes to Serialization.txt line 2 */ 
:Main
set "file=Sensor Serialization.txt"
<"%file%" set /p "line1="
Call :GetIn Num
setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
>"!file!.~tmp" echo(!line1!
>>"!file!.~tmp" echo(!num!
<"!file!" >>"!file!.~tmp" more +2
move /y "!file!.~tmp" "!file!"
Endlocal

AFTER this instead of ending I want to ask the user, "Start from beginning? Y/N" if "Y" then it continues script as normal.

IF "N" then it prompts user to enter the starting point (ex. 01A01 through 26H16) in the "Serilization file.txt", while still modifying the previously entered "8 digit work order number" in "Serilization file.txt" as usual.

Ex. User inputs "N" for "Starting from the beginning?"
Prompt asks user to "enter starting position", user inputs starting position, "01G01", for example.
I want to delete all lines between position 01A01 through 01F16 (to insure we're at text line "01G01" in "Serilization file.txt" and save as usual.

Again the "Serilization file.txt" contents look like this:

Code: Select all

Enter the eight-digit sensor lot number (minus the WSV and the dashes) on Line 2:
03252001
Begin sensor serializaitons, DO NOT change information on Line 3 or beyond.

By default line 4 in Serialization file.txt will always be the first position and by default is generally "01A01". I need an option to start at a different position like "01C01" for example. To have "01C01" on text line 4 in Serialization file.txt I'll need the batch file to delete the correct lines "01A01 through 01B16".

In other words the goal is to have a user input 5 character "XXXXX" to text line 4 in the Serialization file.txt (where "01A01" is on line 4 by default) and to delete all lines necessary to have "XXXXX" placed at line 4 (position one) while keeping the same file organization after "XXXXX". Confirm that's what the user wanted - just like the work order entry - besides allowing characters and integers.

Thank you in advance for anyone trying to help me out on this I know this is a lot and will highly appreciate any help.

I have a dyer request. I'm having trouble modifying the code below and I'm trying to add a modification.


The first Completed objective is to have a user input an "8 digit work order number" into a command prompt to edit line 2 in "Serilization file.txt".

Now...the next objective is to slightly modify how the user is prompt; to be able to start in any position on text line 4 (ex. position: 01A01 through 26H16) in the "Serilization file.txt" (another program uses Serilization file.txt as a reference point on which position it's on).

Ex. I already have this:
User clicks .bat file to automate a cmd prompt window to ask user for, "8 digit work order number" and to enter "Y/N" to confirm.
The current code that successfully modifies the "8 digit work order number" (text line 2) in the "Serialization file.txt" is below.

Code: Select all

@echo off & Goto :Main
rem /*_________________________________________Functions; sets parameters, sets input, verfies input to parameters */
:GetIN
 Setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
 Set "Input=(Set "nVar="&Echo/Enter # Digit Work Order:&(For /L %%. in (1 1 #)Do For /F "Delims=" %%G in ('Choice /N /C 0123456789')Do (<Nul Set /P"=%%G"&Set "nvar=^^!nVar^^!%%G"))&Echo/&Echo/Confirm: ^^!nVar^^! Y/N & For /F "Delims=" %%v in ('Choice /N')Do (If /I "%%~v"=="n" (Goto :retry)))"
:retry
 %Input:#=8% & Echo/Var [!nVar!] Confirmed
 Endlocal & Set "%1=%nVar%" 2> Nul
Exit /B 0

rem /*_________________________________________Script Body; reads/writes to Serialization.txt line 2 */ 
:Main
set "file=Sensor Serialization.txt"
<"%file%" set /p "line1="
Call :GetIn Num
setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
>"!file!.~tmp" echo(!line1!
>>"!file!.~tmp" echo(!num!
<"!file!" >>"!file!.~tmp" more +2
move /y "!file!.~tmp" "!file!"
Endlocal

AFTER this instead of ending I want to ask the user, "Start from beginning? Y/N" if "Y" then it continues script as normal.

IF "N" then it prompts user to enter the starting point (ex. 01A01 through 26H16) in the "Serilization file.txt", while still modifying the previously entered "8 digit work order number" in "Serilization file.txt" as usual.

Ex. User inputs "N" for "Starting from the beginning?"
Prompt asks user to "enter starting position", user inputs starting position, "01G01", for example.
I want to delete all lines between position 01A01 through 01F16 (to insure we're at text line "01G01" in "Serilization file.txt" and save as usual.

By default line 4 in Serialization file.txt will always be the first position and by default is generally "01A01". I need an option to start at a different position like "01C01" for example. To have "01C01" on text line 4 in Serialization file.txt I'll need the batch file to delete the correct lines "01A01 through 01B16".

In other words the goal is to have a user input 5 character "XXXXX" to text line 4 in the Serialization file.txt (where "01A01" is on line 4 by default) and to delete all lines necessary to have "XXXXX" placed at line 4 (position one) while keeping the same file organization after "XXXXX". Confirm that's what the user wanted - just like the work order entry - besides allowing characters and integers.

Thank you in advance for anyone trying to help me out on this I know this is a lot and will highly appreciate any help.

The below will essentially do what you ask, however, what you ask conflicts with the instructions contained in the file you seek to modify.

Yet...

Begin sensor serializaitons, DO NOT change information on Line 3 or beyond.

It's entirely possible to iterate over the numbers after the entered Serial number and use a T/F flag to reject all numbers that preceede the selected number, without deleting them from the file. - This is how the 'deletion' of the numbers from the file is enacted - by using a TF flag to indicate if the selected number has been encountered yet, and only output numbers after that condition is met.

T3rry I'm sorry for the confusion but to clarify:

The comment, "Begin sensor serializations, DO NOT change information on Line 3 or beyond." is to be ignored by us.

Thank you very much for your assistance! I'll test it out more thoroughly when I can though so far I really like what you did.

[werejago]

Hmm T3rry I thought I had successfully ran your script but now that I tried combining it with the rest of my source I'm running into an issue with ALL text lines being deleted AFTER the saved input of my starting position.

[werejago]

Do you see any errors in this script that could cause a deletion of all positions after the input of "XXXXX" for exact position.

Hey T3rry after testing it out again I didn't run into the same issue I'm thinking I had the wrong directory that was causing my previous issue.
I can't thank you enough for all the help. I'll get back to you after further testing. Also, are you involved with cryptocurrency? I would love to tip you for your efforts.

Thanks again.
