I am looking to get a batch file that displays a list of subfolders inside a directory and allows the user to make a selection from that list of folders. When a selection has been made it should then display the contents of that folder and allow the use to make a selection. COuld anyone help with this?
Regards
John.
Example: List all folders under C:\ECU which could be ECU1, ECU2, and ECU3. Say ECU1 is selected the batch file then displays amy folders inside this e.g under ECU1 there are folders: EU1, EU2 and EU3.
I have this so far
#ECHO
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
set Index=1
for /d %%D in (C:\ECU*) do (
set "Subfolders[!Index!]=%%D"
set /a Index+=1
)
set /a UBound=Index-1
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
for /l %%i in (1,1,%UBound%) do echo %%i. !Subfolders[%%i]!
:choiceloop
set /p Choice=Your choice:
if "%Choice%"=="" goto chioceloop
if %Choice% LSS 1 goto choiceloop
if %Choice% GTR %UBound% goto choiceloop
set Subfolder=!Subfolders[%Choice%]!
This should work, the output isn't pretty but basically it just uses the dir command to output the folders in the directory. I would suggest reading the documentation on the dir command to get it to do exactly what you want.
#echo off
set "dir=%cd%"
:loop
echo ---Folders
dir /b /a:d %dir%
echo ---
set /p "folder=Enter a folder from the list: "
if not exist %folder% echo Not a valid folder & goto :loop
set "dir=%dir%\%folder%"
echo ---Subfolders
dir /b /a:d %dir%
echo ---
pause

hope someone can help resovle the issue I'm having.
The script asks user to provide old serial number and PC location than searches a CSV file for the SN and copies the row to a text file. Once the row is in the text file is pulls the SN and Hostname and set them into 2 variables ( the actual CSV has 10 columns). The 2 variables are later passed to a log file.
Problem I have is that if the user provided SN is not in the CSV it does not get recorded, which is needed.
Been reading over google searches and tried several different but still have same issue with losing SNs not found.
Of all the IF statements this one has worked in the pass... well I think it did.
If [%aHostname%]==[] (set oSerial=%icomputerSN%)
So the question I have is how do I get the script to hold the user provided variable if the variable is not in the CSV file?

I was trying to create a scrollable list for a batch file using the method found here: Scrollable Lists in .bat Files
Credit to https://stackoverflow.com/users/778560/aacini
One I tried adding back in my code for my regular batch a few lines at a time, I noticed that the solution doesn't work when I use WMIC. What is the reason for this and is there an easy solution? You can run the below code and then un-comment the WMIC line and see it will not work anymore.
Edit: I am using Windows 7
Thanks!

wshShell.SendKeys(envVar("option["+i+"]")+"{ENTER}");
}
} else {

wshShell.SendKeys("{F7}");
}
SendKeys Method sends one or more keystrokes to the active window. Unfortunately, Sendkeys() sometimes fails usually due to focus or timing, both troublesome and difficult to solve problems. I tried pause and timeout, tried WshShell.AppActivate in various combinations, all without success…
Finally, I found culprit in clearing previous doskey history via doskey /REINSTALL command: it installs a new copy of doskey. I can recommend more intuitive (and less invasive) method to clear the doskey command history buffer:
doskey /ListSize=0
doskey /ListSize=50
Bonus: FOR loops explanation.
outer %%A loop to retrieve the name property;
inner %%a loop to remove the ending carriage return in the value returned: wmic behaviour: each output line ends with 0x0D0D0A (<CR><CR><LF>) instead of common 0x0D0A (<CR><LF>).

i want to create batch script which will read *.txt file like this one
05.2016 192
04.2016 431
05.2016 29
12.2015 110
12.2015 42
12.2015 7584
12.2015 1118
04.2016 0
12.2015 356
05.2016 140
05.2016 248
04.2016 2012
and create list element only if the first token is new and add the second token to its value,
if it is used already i want to add the second token in addition to it previous value
for example list[04.2016] would have value 2443 (431+0+2012)
i tried this code
#echo off
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
for /F "tokens=1,2" %%i in (text.txt) do (
if pole[%%i]==nul set pole[%%i]=%%j
::else ( set pole[%%i]=pole[%%i]+%%j )
echo !pole[%%i]!
)
echo !pole[04.2016]!
echo !pole[05.2016]!
( the else line is only for preview what i want to do next :-D )
i expect that i have some mistake in the line with IF because when i try simplier code with only
for /F "tokens=1,2" %%i in (spracuj2.txt) do (
set pole[%%i]=%%j
echo !pole[%%i]!
)
it works fine but i need the if statements though :-P
You underestimate the power of set. Your if statement does not work (and you don't need it). You have to use set /a to do calculations:
#echo off
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
for /F "tokens=1,2" %%i in (test.txt) do set /a pole[%%i]+=%%j
echo !pole[04.2016]!
echo !pole[05.2016]!
echo ----
set pole[
(you don't need the if, because set /a var=%emptyVariable% sets var to 0 (very convenient))
I've been struggling to write a script that will find the drive index number from other properties of the drive. The script is as follows:
#echo off
REM batch file to load Veracrypt
Set "driveIndex="
for /f "skip=1 tokens=1 delims= " %%a in ('wmic diskdrive where "model ='WD Elements 1078 USB Device'" get index') do SET driveIndex=%%a & goto reportLetter
:reportLetter
if not defined driveIndex (
echo Error Occured!
pause
exit
) else (
echo \Device\Harddisk%driveIndex:~0%\Partition3
pause
exit
)
However, the output of the script is \Device\Harddisk1 \Partition3. I tried for a long long time but could get the script to give the following output: \Device\Harddisk1\Partition3.
Could anyone tell me how to correct the code to get the required output?
Try this
DO SET "driveIndex=%%a"
Your line
... do set driveIndex=%%a & goto ...
is interpreted as set driveIndex=%%a<space>& goto ..., this is, where the additional space in \Device\Harddisk1 \Partition3 comes from.
Of course you could write:
... do set driveIndex=%%a& goto ...
but the better syntax is:
... do set "driveIndex=%%a" & goto ...
which eliminates any unintended spaces.
Note1: set is very picky with spaces. set var = hello creates a variable named var<space> with the value <space>hello<space>.
Note2:
set var="value" sets the value to "value"
set "var=value"sets the value to value. This syntax gives you full (and visible) control to the variable name and it's value.
#ECHO OFF
SETLOCAL ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION
SET DRIVE_INDEX=
FOR /F "usebackq skip=1" %%i IN (`wmic diskdrive where "model = 'HGST HTS725050A7E630 ATA Device'" get index`) DO (
IF "!DRIVE_INDEX!" EQU "" (SET DRIVE_INDEX=%%i)
)
ECHO DRIVE_INDEX is set to %DRIVE_INDEX%
I believe that the problem is that WMIC output is Unicode.
I'd try
for /f "skip=1 tokens=1 delims= " %%a in ('wmic diskdrive where "model ='WD Elements 1078 USB Device'" get index^|more') do SET driveIndex=%%a & goto reportLetter
where the ^|more converts to ANSI. The caret escapes the pipe to tell cmd that the pipe is part of the command to be executed.
I am trying to write a batch file to monitor a log file for the word 'rdy' on a line and alert if the value against rdy is less than 200
extract from my log file as below:
[Sun Jun 23 11:00:00 2013] [notice] mpmstats: rdy 249 bsy 1 rd 0 wr 1 ka 0 log 0 dns 0 cls 0
[Sun Jun 23 11:00:02 2013] [error] [client 10.25.134.1] File does not exist: E:/htdocs/default/KeepAlive.html
I have written a basic script ( Still on my L's ) which monitors the error.log file in a particular directory. The issue is there are error logs from multiple days and I want to monitor the current error log.
#echo off
set log=E:\scripts\busycheckalert.log
set Time=%time:~0,5%
set Today=%date:~4,2%
set Month=%date:~7,2%
set Year=%date:~12,2%
set file=E:\logs\ihs\Default\error.log.%Month%.%Today%.%Year%
echo Polling %file% at %Time% >> %log%
for /f "usebackq delims=;" %%a in (`dir /b E:\logs\ihs\Default\error.log.%Month%.%Today%.%Year%`) do (
echo Checking now >> %log%
for /f "tokens=8,9 delims= " %%a in (E:\logs\ihs\Default\error.log.%Month%.%Today%.%Year%) do (
echo Doing Checks >> %log%
if %%j LEQ 200 echo %Today%-%Month%-%Year% at %Time% Error - Ready threshold exceeded >> %log% in %%a ))
I manage to get till the first checkpoint " Checking now". However, it seems it doe not enter that 2nd loop.
This is the extract from the resultant log file:
Polling E:\logs\ihs\Default\error.log.06.23.13 at 22:48
Checking now
Polling E:\logs\ihs\Default\error.log.06.23.13 at 22:49
Checking now
Polling E:\logs\ihs\Default\error.log.06.23.13 at 22:50
Checking now
Could you please advise where I am going wrong? Any help would be great.
Thanks
for /f "tokens=8,9 delims= " %%a in (E:\logs\ihs\Default error.log.%Month%.%Today%.%Year%) do (
Hmmm- now I wonder what would happen if you were to change the %%a to, say, %%i ?
You appear not to be checking that %%i==rdy either. If you don't do that, you may land up with some rather odd results.
The issue is there are error logs from multiple days and I want to monitor the current error log.
for /f "delims=" %%a in (' dir /b /a-d /od *.log ') do set "latest_file=%%a"
I gather now that it's not your aim.
You seem to be using the same log file name as the file you are processing.
You have delims=; where there are no ; in your log snippet.
You are reusing %%a in both loops.
set file=E:\logs\ihs\Default\error.log.%Month%.%Today%.%Year%
echo Polling %file% at %Time% >> %log%
for /f "usebackq delims=;" %%a in (`dir /b E:\logs\ihs\Default\error.log.%Month%.%Today%.%Year%`) do (
echo Checking now >> %log%
for /f "tokens=8,9 delims= " %%a in (E:\logs\ihs\Default\error.log.%Month%.%Today%.%Year%) do (
Suggestion with code for GNUWin32 grep:
#echo off & setlocal
set "cTime=%time:~0,5%"
set "Today=%date:~3,2%"
set "Month=%date:~6,2%"
set "Year=%date:~11,2%"
set "file=E:\logs\ihs\Default\error.log.%Month%.%Today%.%Year%"
SET "log=resultant.log"
echo Polling %file% at %Time% >> "%log%"
for /f "delims=" %%a in ('dir /b /a-d "%file%') do (
echo Checking now >> "%log%"
for /f "tokens=3" %%b IN ('grep -o "mpmstats: rdy [0-9]\+" "%file%"') do SET "rdy=%%b"
echo Doing Checks >> "%log%"
SETLOCAL ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION
if !rdy! LEQ 200 echo %Today%-%Month%-%Year% at %cTime% Error - Ready threshold exceeded IN %%a >> "%log%"
endlocal
)
You are using a specific file in your FOR loops, so there is no need for two of them. The first one merely confirms that the file exists. That is easier and more efficiently done with:
if exist "E:\logs\ihs\Default\error.log.%Month%.%Today%.%Year%" ( ... )
Others have said you have a problem using %%a for both loops. Actually, there is nothing wrong with reusing a character within nested loops. But then your inner loop cannot access the outer loop value. Given that your inner loop DO references %%j, I suspect you intended for your inner loop to use %%i instead of %%a.
Your logic is wrong in that your loop is processing all lines, when it should only process lines that contain " rdy ". FIND or FINDSTR can be used to efficiently filter out unwanted lines.
You should never assign your own value to a variable named TIME (note that variable names are case insensitive). Doing so prevents you from later accessing the dynamic time value.
I haven't figured out what would prevent entry to your inner loop when the outer loop works. But I would restructure your entire code.
Instead of deriving the name of the log file from the current date, I would list all log files in date/time order and use FOR /F to capture the last one found.
Then I would use another FOR /F to parse the output of a FINDSTR search for " rdy "
