ParseRat is an old program that I have had a long time. I need to transpose text files in c:\wherefilesare.
I run the below and it just dies:
echo on
setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
cd c:\wherefilesare
SET progdir=C:\program files (x86)\ParseRat
for%%x in (*.txt) do ("%%progdir%\parserat.exe" "%%x.txt" "%%progdir%\test.prz" "%%x.csv"
As #Squashman says:
"You (have) an extra percent symbol for all your (environment) variables. You are also not using the FOR meta-variable correctly. Essentially %%x expands to the actual file name with the extension. So it will see file1.txt.txt and file1.txt.csv. You need to use the command modifiers. %%~nx to get just the file name without the extension."
Also, you are missing a closing parenthesis...
echo on
setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
cd c:\wherefilesare
SET progdir=C:\program files (x86)\ParseRat
for %%x in (*.txt) do (
"%progdir%\parserat.exe" "%%~nx.txt" "%progdir%\test.prz" "%%~nx.csv"
)
An example would be:
Folder 1:
a.pdf
b.pdf
Folder11
c.pdf
Folder 2:
a.pdf
b.pdf
Folder21:
c.pdf
printing all files between folders
And the cmd would have a way to find the file only putting part of the words?
Example
TEXT : ABC*.PDF
PRINT ABCDF.PDF
1. To loop over multiple files recursively:
FOR /f "tokens=*" %%F in ('dir /s /b *.pdf') DO echo "%%F"
dir /s /b *.pfd finds all pdfs (*.pdf), in all subdirectories (/s), in bare format - ie just the path name (/b)
DO echo "%%F" just echo's the result to the console.
"tokens=*" adds the whole line into %%F regardless of white spaces / other tokens
/F makes it run the ('dir ...') command
2. To print from command line use: From this question
AcroRd32.exe /t "C:\Folder\File.pdf" "Brother MFC-7820N USB Printer" "Brother MFC-7820N USB Printer" "IP_192.168.10.110"
Note: Path to AcroRd32.exe must be in your path environment variable
3. Putting it all together -- edit -- 'I've added taskkill to close acrord32 after printing
FOR /f "tokens=*" %%F in ('dir /s /b *.pdf') DO AcroRd32.exe /t "%%~F" "Brother MFC-7820N USB Printer" "Brother MFC-7820N USB Printer" "IP_192.168.10.110" & taskkill /IM AcroRd32.exe
This is what i currently get with FOR loop:
FOR /R "ProgramFolder" %%P in (*) do (
echo %%P
)
C:\Folder\Folder2\ProgramFolder\Managed\bolt.dll
C:\Folder\Folder2\ProgramFolder\Resources\fmodstudio.dll
C:\Folder\Folder2\ProgramFolder\Plugins\dll\DynamicWaterNativeWrapper.dll
How to get pathes like this?
Managed\bolt.dll
Resources\fmodstudio.dll
Plugins\dll\DynamicWaterNativeWrapper.dll

#echo off
setlocal enableextensions disabledelayedexpansion
pushd c:\somewhere\ProgramFolder
for /f "tokens=1,* delims=\" %%a in (
'xcopy . "%temp%" /l /s'
) do if not "%%b"=="" echo(%%b
popd
The basic idea behind this code is to use the xcopy command not to copy, but to retrieve a list (/l) of the files that should be processed with relative paths. For it to work, it is necessary to first change the current active directory to the required one (pushd) and use a relative reference to the current folder (.)
The output of xcopy command with this configuration will be in the form
.\folder\folder\file.ext
To remove the prefixing dot and backslash the for /f is configured to use the slashes as delimiters and to retrieve the first token (the dot) before the first backslash and the rest of the line as the second token, that is, the relative paths
As the xcopy command output includes an aditional line with the total number of files, and this line will result in an aditional blank line in the output of the script, an aditional if is included to discard this line.
I am using following code to append ";C:\Python27" to environment variable PATH..
#echo off
Setx Path "%PATH%;C:\Python27" -M
PAUSE
but if i run this batch file more than once, it is appending ";C:\Python27" many times that should not happen.
SO i have to check for ;C:\Python27 before appending it to PATH variable.
Is there any command for this purpose?
The following Powershell should do it:
$needPython = $env:path | select-string -NotMatch -SimpleMatch "c:\python27"
if ($needPython) {
[Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable("tstpath", $env:path + ";c:\python27", "User")
}
You can change User to Machine or Process to set a machine or process level environment variable.
You can run this directly from a powershell prompt.
If you're running this from a dos command line use (you need the full path to your script or .\ if it's in the current directory):
powershell "& '.\myscript.ps1'"
I can't figure out how to get my audio extractor script working via commandline arguments on ahk. I know the command line argument is correct, as I'm able to get it working through a batch file, but I keep getting the error below. I think I'm probably doing something wrong syntactically but I just can't figure out what.
I'd really appreciate any help. Thanks.
Error: the following variable name contains an illegal character"
channels=2,samplerate=44100}:standard{access="file",mux=dummy,dst="%A_LoopField%.mp3"}
Code:
fileselectfile, File_Name, M3
SplitPath, File_Name, name
Loop, parse, name, `n
if a_index = 2

Here is the original batch code if you're curious about the audio extraction function I was talking about
#ECHO OFF
REM Loop through files (Recurse subfolders)
REM Syntax
REM FOR /R [[drive:]path] %%parameter IN (set) DO command
REM
REM Key
REM drive:path : The folder tree where the files are located.
REM
REM set : A set of one or more files. Wildcards must be used.
REM If (set) is a period character (.) then FOR will
REM loop through every folder.
REM
REM command : The command(s) to carry out, including any
REM command-line parameters.

REM %%parameter : A replaceable parameter:
REM in a batch file use %%G (on the command line %G)

ECHO Transcoding %1
REM Here's where the actual transcoding/conversion happens. The next line
REM fires off a command to VLC.exe with the relevant arguments:

REM Having no SLEEP-esque command, we have to trick DOS/Windows into pausing

REM needs to - Via clever use of the PING utility:

REM My own little addition to prevent the batch window from "vanishing" without
REM trace at the end of execution, as if a critical error had occurred.
PAUSE
Have you tried without the SplitPath, File_Name, name? I got rid of the error like this, but I don't know if it produces the result you want in the end.
I found the answer. I was making syntatical errors I just didn't have the knowledge to fix myself. The new RUN statement works perfectly.
Here is the newly revised script
fileselectfile, File_Name, M3
SplitPath, File_Name, name, dir, ext, name_no_ext, drive
StringReplace, File_Name, File_Name,`n, \
Loop, parse, name, `n
{if a_index = 2
msgbox, %A_LoopField%
Run % "C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe -I dummy -v """ File_Name """ :sout=#transcode{vcodec=none,acodec=mp3,ab=128,channels=2,samplerate=44100}:standard{access=""file"",mux=dummy,dst=""" A_LoopField ".mp3""} "
}
