[nnnmmm]

how do i insert 2 lines below to many batch files after skipping 1st line of each batch?

Code: Select all

SET K0="..\GAMEPATH.TXT"
FOR /F "Tokens=*" %%V IN ('TYPE %K0%') DO (SET K1=%%V)

before AA001.bat has
1
2
3
4
5
6

after AA001.bat has
1
SET K0="..\GAMEPATH.TXT"
FOR /F "Tokens=*" %%V IN ('TYPE %K0%') DO (SET K1=%%V)
2
3
4
5
6

(I'll refrain from giving you the same advices repeatedly...)

You can't insert lines without writing the file new.

Code: Select all

@echo off &setlocal

set "file=AA001.bat"

setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
<"!file!" >"!file!.~tmp" (
  for /f %%i in ('type "!file!"^|find /c /v ""') do (
    set "line="& set /p "line="
    echo(!line!

    echo SET K0="..\GAMEPATH.TXT"
    echo FOR /F "Tokens=*" %%%%V IN ('TYPE %%K0%%'^) DO (SET K1=%%%%V^)

    for /l %%j in (2 1 %%i) do (
      set "line="& set /p "line="
      echo(!line!
    )
  )
)
>nul move /y "!file!.~tmp" "!file!"
endlocal

Code: Select all

@echo off
setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion

for %%f in (*.bat) do (
   < "%%f" (
      set /P "line1="
      echo(!line1!
      echo SET K0="..\GAMEPATH.TXT"
      echo FOR /F "Tokens=*" %%%%V IN ('TYPE %%K0%%'^) DO (SET K1=%%%%V^)
      findstr "^"
   ) > temp.tmp
   move /Y temp.tmp "%%f" > NUL
)

i fed the file "zttag - skip insert rest 1.BAT" to the ztree version of batch file below, aGerman worked so well (including & and !), now i can skip where i want and insert how many lines i want. i will ask about operators like <"!file!" >"!file!.~tmp" some other time until i get to read some for it

Code: Select all

REM #ZTTag #ZTTemp\~ZTTag.bat -fCALL #ZTTemp\ZTW_MENU.BAT SUB %1
IF [%%1]==[SUB] GOTO SUB
   CALL #ZTTemp\~ZTTag.bat
   DEL #ZTTemp\~ZTTag.bat
GOTO :END

:SUB
   "C:\ZTREE\BATCH2\zttag - skip insert rest 1.BAT" %%2
GOTO :END

:END
