How do I convert batch script arguments to pattern?

Hi

How do I convert batch script arguments to pattern?

-ai!test1.7z -ai!test2.7z -ai!test3.7z

%1 = test1.7z
%2 = test2.7z
%3 = test3.7z

%* = test1.7z test2.7z test3.7z

Please help

If your input files are all unquoted, and do not contain spaces or other potentially poison characters, then you could probably simply use something like this:

Code: Select all

@Set "allinput=%*"
@Echo -ai!%allinput: = -ai!%

For space don't work

%* =" test 1.7z" "test 2.7z" "test 3.7z"

Please don't try to disrespect me, I was very clear in my opening statement of my last response.

You've completely changed your input to include both spaces and doublequotes, and would obviously not therefore, be splitting the string on spaces, would you?

You'd be splitting on a doublequote space doublequote sequence:

Code: Select all

@Set "allinput=%*"
@Echo -ai!%allinput:" "=" -ai!"%

Hi

It doesn't work if names don't always have quotation marks.

Names without spaces do not have quotation marks (Total Commander %S).



ex

%* Test1.7z "Test 2.zip" Test2.rar

%1 Test1.7z
%2 "Test 2.zip"
%3 Test3.rar

Please help me

Names without spaces do not have quotation marks (Total Commander %S).

What about names with an ampersand and other special characters?

I am also concerned about your usage of the exclamation point. As that has special meaning in batch files as well when delayed expansion is enabled.

In total commander try using %P%S. Maybe this will help.

Or use %s (lowercase s).

Maybe better solution might be to use SHIFT in a loop to move parameters into variables.
