Thanks in advance, if anybody is able to help me out! reg file through a batch file, but need to find out how the "Yes/No" and "OK" pop ups can be avoided and automatically accepted so the user doesn't have to click on Yes and OK everytime.Įxample of my batchfile let's say the. Just looking to pin point files (ie word or microsoft money - *.mny) and copy them. This command string copies the file directory structure which takes forever and something I do not want. Also if none present then move on to next command. How do I use xcopy to search for and copy say, word files, scatterded over a drive. How do i put a automatic yes in (Y/N)option

Tip #9 "Use batch parameter expansion to avoid parsing file or directory info" was just what I was looking for! So what if the syntax is "insane"? (No more so, than, say, printf formatting syntax in C.)Īnyway it's easy to copy/paste what I want from your page, or, as you taught me, from CALL HELP at DOS command prompt. Tip #8 "Use batch parameter expansion to avoid parsing file or directory info" was just what I was looking for! it's closer to "grep" than the original "find" and the built in ability to search subdirectories is a real gift.
Windows 10 resource kit batch file commands windows#
I love using the findstr.exe that is built into Windows XP and later. It's part of the Windows 2003 Resource Kit, which is a separate download. Tuesday, Novem8:07:04 - The sleep command isn't available on a default install. One more that I just recalled, from reading Steve's commentĬhanges both, the directory and the drive letterĪnd this tip: "Pause execution for a number of seconds" Gosh! Why didn't I think of it before? They simply you can just run + to enter a directory and - to return. If you use them a lot you can save a fair bit of typing by defining two one-line command files +.cmd and -.cmd somewhere on your path. An additional advantage over CD is the fact that including a drive letter changes to the drive and directory specified whereas CD just changes the active directory on the specified drive. What about you? Got any favorite DOS Batch tricks? He's got some good PowerShell resources, too. The %~ modifiers may not be used with %* īy far, my favorite resource for DOS Batch trickery is the Batch Files section of Rob van der Woude's Scripting Pages. The %~ syntax is terminated by a valid argument number. In the above examples %1 and PATH can be replaced by other valid values. %~ftza1 - expands %1 to a DIR like output line %~dp$PATH:1 - searches the directories listed in the PATH environment variable for %1 and expands to the drive letter and path of the first one found. %~nx1 - expands %1 to a file name and extension only %~dp1 - expands %1 to a drive letter and path only The modifiers can be combined to get compound results: If the environment variable name is not defined or the file is not found by the search, then this modifier expands to the empty string %~$PATH:1 - searches the directories listed in the PATH environment variable and expands %1 to the fully qualified name of the first one found. %~s1 - expanded path contains short names only %~x1 - expands %1 to a file extension only %~f1 - expands %1 to a fully qualified path name %~1 - expands %1 removing any surrounding quotes (") %~ ftza1 = - a - 08 / 25 / 2005 01 : 50 AM 17920 c:\WINDOWS\NOTEPAD.EXEĪs I said, the syntax is completely crazy, but it's easy to look them up - just type HELP CALL at a DOS prompt it gives you this: C:\Temp > batchparams.bat c:\windows\notepad.exe
