I have created a batch file which runs multiple commands in the Windows command prompt, which is working just fine, however, I want to run a portable exe file through the same batch file as well. E.g. if I transfer the zip file to another computer, all I would like to do is run the batch file and that portable exe would run along with the other commands as well
:start
cls

cls
#echo off

cls
C:\Users\kumar\Desktop\CCleaner.exe
echo.
pause)
set /p choice="Do you want to restart? Press 'Y' to continue, or any other key to exit: "
if '%choice%'=='y' goto start
So for example in the last condition I am running CCleaner which is on the Desktop at the moment, but if i copy a zip file which consists of the BAT File and the CCleaner.exe how would i enable it to run on another PC after copying?
Any help would be appreciated.
If the "portable" directory will contain all executable files, another way is to make the location of the .bat script the current working directory.
#ECHO OFF
PUSHD "%~dp0"
: do things, the directory of the .bat script is the current directory
POPD
EXIT /B 0
place your tools into the same folder as the batchfile and instead of
C:\Users\kumar\Desktop\CCleaner.exe
do
%~dp0\CCleaner.exe
%~dp0 is Drive and Path of your batchfile.
You may also put your tools into a subdir (tools) and:
%~dp0\tools\CCleaner.exe
This could be useful in the case your app uses some system variables (e.g. PATH)
and you might want to reassign them locally before starting the application. The provided .exe will pass control to a .bat where you can do this and much more.
At the end of this .bat run the App.exe

I need a script to rename a machine with a name that I choose myself, I also need to compare if the machine is already with that name because that same script will be used for more things.
I got to this code, but even if teh name i set is te same as the mchine it runs the IF

Can someone help me?
I have a game that I play and mod a lot, and a lot of the files in the game have file extensions that are in all caps, which bothers me quite a bit. I'm trying to change them all to be lowercase, but there are numerous folders in the game files, so I'm having to be very repetitive. Right now, I'm working with this:
cd\program files (x86)\Activision\X-Men Legends 2\Actors
start ren *.IGB *.igb
cd\program files (x86)\Activision\X-Men Legends 2\Conversations\
start ren *.XMLB *.xmlb
cd\program files (x86)\Activision\X-Men Legends 2\Conversations\act0\tutorial\tutorial1
start ren *.XMLB *.xmlb
and so on for each and every folder in the game files. I have a very long .bat file where I just have line after line of this but with a different destination folder. Is there a way to streamline this process so I don't have to manually type out each folder name? Also, is there a line that I could add at the beginning to automatically run as an administrator, so I don't have to make sure to run the .bat file as an administrator each time?
I'm not looking for anything complicated, and I'm very inexperienced with coding other than the small amount of stuff I've been able to search up.
Instead of doing it for each folder, use a for /R loop which loops through all subfolders. I would suggest the following code:
#echo off
:prompt
set /p "extensions=What are the up-case extensions you want to convert to lower-case?: "
if not defined extensions (cls & goto:prompt) else (goto:loop)
:loop
for %%A IN (%extensions%) do (
for /R "custom_folder" %%B IN (*.%%A) do (
ren "%%~fB" "%%~nB.%%A"
)
)
Take a look on this on how to run this batch file as admin. Create another batch file and add the code specified in the accepted answer.
Note: As Stephan pointed out in the comments, you can use %ProgramFiles(x86)% environment variable which is the same thing.
#echo off
setlocal
rem Check if admin.
2>nul >nul net session || goto :runasadmin
rem Start in script directory.
pushd "%~dp0" || (
>&2 echo Failed to change directory to "%~dp0".
pause
exit /b 1
)
rem Ask for directory to change to, else use the script directory if undefined.
set "dirpath=%~dp0"
set /p "dirpath=Dir path: "
rem Expand any environmental variables used in input.
call set "dirpath=%dirpath%"
rem Start in the input directory.
pushd "%dirpath%" || (
>&2 echo Failed to change directory to "%dirpath%".
pause
exit /b 1
)
rem Ask for file extensions.
echo File extensions to convert to lowercase, input lowercase.
echo i.e. doc txt
set "fileext="
set /p "fileext=File extension(s): "
if not defined fileext (
>&2 echo Failed to input file extension.
pause
exit /b 1
)
rem Display current settings.
echo dirpath: %dirpath%
echo fileext: %fileext%
pause
rem Do recursive renaming.
for %%A in (%fileext%) do for /r %%B in (*.%%A) do ren "%%~B" "%%~nB.%%A"
rem Restore to previous working directory.
popd
echo Task done.
pause
exit /b 0
:runasadmin
rem Make temporary random directory.
set "tmpdir=%temp%\%random%"
mkdir "%tmpdir%" || (
>&2 echo Failed to create temporary directory.
exit /b 1
)
rem Make VBS file to run cmd.exe as admin.
(
echo Set UAC = CreateObject^("Shell.Application"^)
echo UAC.ShellExecute "cmd.exe", "/c ""%~f0""", "", "runas", 1
) > "%tmpdir%\getadmin.vbs"
"%tmpdir%\getadmin.vbs"
rem Remove temporary random directory.
rd /s /q "%tmpdir%"
exit /b
This script is expected to start from double-click.
It will restart the script as admin if not already admin.
It will prompt to get information such as directory to change to and get file extensions i.e. doc txt (not *.doc *.txt). If you enter i.e. %cd% as the directory input, it will be expanded.
Hi I am trying to make a small menu in which the .bat file uses the user input to define a path. The code below works.
#ECHO OFF
SET /P var= Type The FULL Path In Here:
MKDIR %var%\
pause
However when I try to implement the code into the menu below. It fails and I can't read the error because it immediately exits the batch file. I am running a windows 10 machine and running the batch from the C:\ drive. The batch file makes the folders on the C:\ drive as well. I would be grateful for any help Thanks.
ECHO OFF
CLS
:MENU
ECHO.
ECHO ...............................................
ECHO PRESS 1 to select your task, or 2 TO EXIT.
ECHO ...............................................
ECHO.
ECHO 1 - Set Path
ECHO.
ECHO 2 - EXIT
ECHO.
SET /P M=Type 1 or 5 then press ENTER:
IF %M%==1 GOTO CallScript1
IF %M%==5 GOTO EOF
CallScript1
#ECHO OFF
SET /P var= Type The FULL Path In Here:
MKDIR %var%\
GOTO:EOF
You are missing the colon before the label CallScript1 on line 17
i.e. replace
CallScript1
with
:CallScript1
I have my batch script below:-
#echo off
For /F "tokens=1* delims==" %%A IN (test.properties) DO (
IF "%%A"=="PORT" set PORT=%%B
IF "%%A"=="SPLEBASE" set SPLEBASE=%%B
IF "%%A"=="SPLOUTPUT" set SPLOUTPUT=%%B
IF "%%A"=="SPLENVIRON" set SPLENVIRON=%%B
IF "%%A"=="JAVA_HOME" set JAVA_HOME=%%B
IF "%%A"=="jarsource" set jarsource=%%B
IF "%%A"=="jartarget" set jartarget=%%B
)
echo.
echo The environment properties are as follows :-
echo.
echo port number is %PORT%
echo environment path is %SPLEBASE%
echo environment output location is %SPLOUTPUT%
echo environment name is %SPLENVIRON%
echo java home is %JAVA_HOME%
echo cm jar source location is %jarsource%
echo cm jar target location is %jartarget%
echo.
echo on
cd %SPLEBASE%/bin
spl stop
echo off
:loop
netstat -n -o -a | findstr ":6500"
if %ERRORLEVEL% equ 0 (#echo "listening") ELSE goto exitloop
goto loop
:exitloop
echo server has been stopped
The problem is that after It executes spl stop, it exits from my current batch program and does not go into the coming loop at all. spl.cmd is a file that calls a vb script which executes and exits hence terminating my current batch program. I don't want my batch program to terminate. Please suggest something so that my batch proceeds to the loop after running spl stop
Try using the CALL command:
call spl stop
I've got the following problem:
I need to make something that checks to see whether a file has been added to a specific folder, ifso this file needs to be printed. I heard Windows maybe has something similar built in?
*Program constantly checks whether a file has been added*
File has been added
File gets printed immediately
I have found solutions, but you need to pay for them.
UPDATE
"Code supplied by Vik"
:start
set SECONDS=60
SET FILENAME=*.jpg
IF EXIST %FILENAME% MSPAINT /p %FILENAME%
choice /C a /T %SECONDS% /D a
DEL /Q %FILENAME%
goto :start
"Edits: COPY *.JPG file to a different folder (E.G. ImageHistory)"
"Edits: DELETE local *.JPG file leaving the monitor folder empty"
Any tips or help are welcome!
This batch file will check if the file printme.jpg exists every 60 seconds. If it exists, it will use the built-in MSPAINT program to print it. Feel free to configure SECONDS and FILENAME to suit your environment.
:start
set SECONDS=60
SET FILENAME=printme.jpg
IF EXIST %FILENAME% MSPAINT /p %FILENAME%
choice /C a /T %SECONDS% /D a
goto :start
Additional mods you may want to make:
If you are using an older version of Windows like XP, you may not have the CHOICE command. In that case, use ping to simulate sleeping: PING 1.1.1.1 -n 1 -w 60000 >NUL
You can add a line to delete the file after it's printed: DEL /Q %FILENAME%
EDIT (Below): Added multi-file, move and delete capability
set SECONDS=20
set FILEFOLDER=C:\dropfolder
set TEMPFOLDER=%FILEFOLDER%\TEMPFOLDER
set FILEWILDCARD=*.jpg
if not exist "%FILEFOLDER%" ECHO %FILEFOLDER% NOT FOUND ... CTRL-C TO EXIT && PAUSE
if not exist "%TEMPFOLDER%" ECHO %TEMPFOLDER% NOT FOUND ... CTRL-C TO EXIT && PAUSE
:start
cd "%FILEFOLDER%"
dir /b "%FILEWILDCARD%" > filelist.txt
for %%A in (filelist.txt) do if not %%~zA==0 goto printfiles
choice /C a /T %SECONDS% /D a
goto :start
:printfiles
echo FILE(s) FOUND!
del /q "%TEMPFOLDER%\%FILEWILDCARD%"
move "%FILEWILDCARD%" "%TEMPFOLDER%"
cd "%TEMPFOLDER%"
for %%A in ("%FILEWILDCARD%") do MSPAINT /p "%%A"
goto :start
Run a VB.Net in Background and use a FileSystemWatcher to get events for each change in that folder. Upon receiving an event, check the file / action and print the file using whatever App that can print them. A Batch file will likely not work here.
