the file with subroutines must look like: @echo off call :%* exit /b %errorlevel% :hello echo in hello exit /b 0 :Demo echo in Demo with argument %1 exit /b 0 then from the other file you can call it like call file2.bat demo “arg-one”
There is no native way to do this cleanly. But you can use VBS to simulate keystrokes if you want, something similar to AutoIT, but nowhere as flexible. On the Plus side of things, you don’t need to download VBS. It’s been included in every version of Windows since 95. I am including an example … Read more
This can actually be done quite easily with pure native commands, you just have to know how to use the more tricky of them. No use of external tools like VBScript or nasty side effects like clearing the screen are necessary. What you’re looking for is the equivalent of the bash “echo -n” command which … Read more
You need to store the psftp script (lines from open to bye) into a separate file and pass that to psftp using -b switch: cd “C:\Program Files (x86)\PuTTY” psftp -b “C:\path\to\script\script.txt” Reference: https://the.earth.li/~sgtatham/putty/latest/htmldoc/Chapter6.html#psftp-option-b EDIT: For username+password: As you cannot use psftp commands in a batch file, for the same reason, you cannot specify the username … Read more
I just find out how to use commands with pipes in it, here’s my command (that extracts the head revision of an svn repo) : SET SVN_INFO_CMD=svn info http://mySvnRepo/MyProjects FOR /f “tokens=1 delims=” %%i IN (‘%SVN_INFO_CMD% ^| find “Revision”‘) DO echo %%i
None of the answers actually work. I’ve managed to find the solution myself. This is a bit hackish, but it solve the problem for me: echo off setlocal enableextensions setlocal enabledelayedexpansion set MAX_TRIES=100 set P=%PATH% for /L %%a in (1, 1, %MAX_TRIES%) do ( for /F “delims=;” %%g in (“!P!”) do ( echo %%g set … Read more
FOR /F “delims=” %%i IN (‘dir /b /ad-h /t:c /od’) DO SET a=%%i echo Most recent subfolder: %a% (%i for windows 10) /b is for bare format /ad-h only directories, but not the hidden ones t:c means to use the creation date for sorting (use t:w for last write date) /od sort oldest first The … Read more
This is the way I would do that: @echo off set themes=Sun,Granite,Twilight echo list = “%themes%” for %%a in (“%themes:,=” “%”) do ( echo file name is %%a ) That is, change Sun,Granite,Twilight by “Sun” “Granite” “Twilight” and then process each part enclosed in quotes in a regular (NO /F option) for command. This method … Read more
set cmd=”dir /b “20??????” | find /c “2” ” FOR /F “tokens=*” %%i IN (‘ %cmd% ‘) DO SET X=%%i
Adapted from this answer to a very similar question: FORFILES /S /D -10 /C “cmd /c IF @isdir == TRUE rd /S /Q @path” You should run this command from within your d:\study folder. It will delete all subfolders which are older than 10 days. The /S /Q after the rd makes it delete folders … Read more
