I try to make the above code to work, but a cmd window opens and the notepad window with PCList.txt open and nothing happens. I want to copy a file to many remote computers and check with ping if the pc is live.

I have a functioning script that works as intended when ran in file explorer, but I am trying to implement a way to run the script on logon. My solution was to use task scheduler, but when I run the script the status says "running," yet, the file doesn't execute.
Here is the following code:
#echo on
if exist reboot.txt goto iterate
if not exist reboot.txt goto begin
:begin
echo HOW MANY REBOOTS DO YOU WANT?
set /p input= Enter number:
type nul > reboot.txt
echo %input% >> reboot.txt
type nul > number.txt
echo 0 >> number.txt
goto iterate
:iterate
for /f " delims==" %%i in (number.txt) do set /A temp_counter= %%i+1
echo %temp_counter% > number.txt
for /f "delims=" %%i in (reboot.txt) do set Boot=%%i
echo %Boot%
if %temp_counter% GTR %Boot% (
echo Numbers match goto end
) else (
echo Numbers don't match
start shutdown.exe /r /t 60
exit
)
:end
del reboot.txt
del number.txt
exit
My script isn't logging the contents of run.txt to log.txt
I've tried to remove the delete command to see if it was deleting it too quickly and therefore couldn't log. But that wasn't the case.
What should I change?
#ECHO OFF &setlocal
SET File=run.txt
type %File%
for /f "tokens=*" %%A in (%File%) do (echo >> log.txt)
del "%File%" /s /f /q > nul
pause
Here is a very simple way to do the task you are requiring.
#echo off
REM Will only grab the first line of the file
set /p file=<run.txt
REM For the last line use a for loop
for /f "tokens=*" %%a in (%file%) do set last_line=%%a
(
echo %file%
)>>log.txt
del /f %file% >nul
If not %errorlevel% equ 0 (
ECHO ERROR - %errorlevel%
pause
exit /b
)
ECHO Success!
timeout /t 003
exit /b %errorlevel%
EXPLANATION
set /p is for set prompt. For more information you can use set /? in your CMD window or check out this site.
I wish I could speak more on what < does, but what it is doing here is piping the content of run.txt to our variable.
Then we echo out our variable to our log file with (ECHO This is our %file%)>>destination
>> is to append where > is to overwrite the file.
(
echo %file%
echo.
)>>%file%
Checking for an error is probably unnecessary, but I believe it is a good habit to build on which is what I am trying to do with that If not %errorlevel% statement.
No error? We Success and timeout ourselves for xxx seconds.
Try:
#ECHO OFF &setlocal
SET "File=run.txt"
type "%File%" >> "log.txt" && (del "%File%" /f > nul)
pause
How do I make a log file from this code. This has been answered a ton, but this file is huge and I want a simple log file. As you see I also tried to add a log file names RandomNamesLog.log. See if the output goes there.
I want all the code to be outputted into the log file, with error messages and confirm messages, like removing the #ECHO OFF value.
If you need more on what I want, please tell me.

Once you are happy with it edit your opening question explaining what it is you want to have in the log file and how you need it to look.
I use this. it seems to work.
It just starts a log file and maintains logs.
You can set logpath and logname (base name) then you call this create_logfile
It creates a semi-random log file.
Now you write to the set logfile
I'm not an advanced coder. Please feel free to correct:
#echo off

rem Log File Path

I wrote a windows batch script to check and move files to another directory based on the list I put in a notepad file named list.txt. But I have no idea that how to set the while-loop. Only to jump out of the subroute when the condition fulfill.
In C Programming, we could write like this by setting a while-loop direcly. But seems in windows batch is quite different.
All I want is like this:
Directory A:
1. A.txt
2. B.txt
3. list.txt (By line sequential with filename want to move)
4. process.bat
Directory B:
None of files (Then move a file by order of line set in list.txt) OR
A.txt (If already existed a text file in directory, process.bat will pause before A.txt disappear)
Process.bat
#echo off
:readline
for /f "tokens=*" %%a in (list.txt) do call :processline %%a
goto :eof
:processline
if exist D:\DirectoryA\*.txt (
echo %time% >> D:\AutoLog\Log.txt
echo Previous job did not finished yet. >> D:\AutoLog\Log.txt
Timeout /t 30
echo.
)
set name=%*
if exist %name%.txt (
echo %time% >> D:\AutoLog\Log.txt
echo File found and processing %name%.txt now... >> D:\AutoLog\Log.txt
copy "%~dp0\%name%.txt" "D:\DirectoryB"
echo Transfer %name%.txt completed!! >> D:\AutoLog\Log.txt
echo. >> D:\AutoLog\Log.txt
Timeout /t 790

Please guide me to finish the script by using a while-loop method. Thanks
I change some script sequence and it works now.
