I'm trying to set the contents of a file to my variable 'reportPath'. The variable 'latestReport' holds the path to the file. When I run this command
for /F %%z in (%latestReport%) do set "reportPath=%%z"
I get the error mentioned in the title of this question ("The system cannot find file"). However, if I replace %latestReport% with the path to the file, the code executes perfectly.
How do I get the code to read my %latestReport% variable as a filename?
Here is the whole script:
#echo off
setLocal Enabledelayedexpansion
set "subject="
set "reportPath="
if "%1"=="" (
for /F "delims== tokens=2" %%a in ('findstr /B test_report_directory my_file_here.properties') do set testReportDir=%%a
set "subject=RentalMan Test Execution Results"
goto :runemaildriver
)
set testReportDir=%~f1
if not exist %testReportDir% (

for /F "delims== tokens=2" %%a in ('findstr /B test_report_directory my_file_here.properties') do set "testReportDir=%%a"

set latestReport=%testReportDir%\currrentReportPath.txt
echo latestReport: %latestReport%
for /F %%z in (%latestReport%) do set "reportPath=%%z"

for /F "delims=: tokens=2" %%d in ('findstr \B Environment %reportPath%') do set "env=%%d"

I am trying to find LARGE in preprocessor, if not exist add it, but it is adding multiple times
Find and, search is not working. I need to append only if it not exist.
Append to file if particular sting not found, string should append once, even if we run batch multiple times.
I have a notes.ini file with the following starting line:
[Notes]
Directory=c:\lotus\notes\data
I would like to change the "Directory=" parameter to Directory = D:\Users\fr21466\AppData\Roaming\notes
I´m trying this code:
#echo off
set file=c:\lotus\notes\notes.ini
set newline=Directory=%appdata%\notes
set insertline=2
set output=%appdata%\notes\notes.ini
(for /f "tokens=1* delims=[]" %%a in ('find /n /v "##" ^< "%file%"') do (
if "%%~a"=="%insertline%" (
echo %newline%
REM ECHO.%%b
) ELSE (
echo.%%b
)
)) > %output%
But the output file is generating this:
It is generating the file, but cutting the symbol: "[" in the first column
Notes]
Directory=D:\Users\fr21466\AppData\Roaming\notes
Can someone please help me to solve this?
Thank You!
Try ini.bat (the second one, under the Update section).
copy "c:\lotus\notes\notes.ini" "%appdata%\notes"
ini.bat /s Notes /i Directory /v "%appdata%\notes" "%appdata%\notes\notes.ini"
To fix your current script, try replacing find with findstr and delims=:. The /N option with findstr prefaces lines with nn: rather than [nn], so your ini sections won't be clobbered when their surrounding brackets are treated as a successive delimiter.
#echo off & setlocal
set "file=c:\lotus\notes\notes.ini"

I used a file named q45036613.txt containing your data + more for my testing. I've also adjusted the paths to suit my system.
This version doesn't rely on the position of the directory entry; it looks for the [Notes] line and adjusts the directory entry that follows by using the characteristic that if defined interprets the run-time value of a variable. Hence, wait for [Notes] then wait for directory
To fix it remove [ from line 6
I have written a batch file which I want to overwrite key strings with strings from another .txt file.
currently it copies the new File.txt file perfectly but does not replace the strings with the strings from OldFile.txt file.
example of strings in File.txt file:
...
# Password
Pword=
# AccountName
Account=
# TownName
Town=
# Postcode
Postcode=
# LocationChangedDate
LocationChanged=
example of strings in OldFile.txt file I want to replace from:
...
# Password
Pword=ABC
# AccountName
Account=123
# TownName
Town=LDN
# Postcode
Postcode=WS77TP
# LocationChangedDate
LocationChanged=01/01/2015
Can someone please point me in the right direction or explain where I have made a mistake?

I think I finally got it...
What it does:
It goes through the OldFile.txt content, searching for markers, if found they are stored into environment variables to be used in the nest step (e.g. for _PWD marker (variable) which has a value of Pword=, it will create a _PWDCONTENTS variable with the content of Pword=ABC).
It goes through File.txt content, searching for the same markers, if one marker found, the corresponding CONTENTS variable is dumped in the OutFile.txt, else the original line. Because that happens in the inner for loop, I had to add some extra logic (the _WROTE var) to avoid writing the same lines more than once.
Notes:
It is supposed (well, besides doing what it's supposed to) to be "configurable" (the code is complicated, it's heading towards meta :) if you will), meaning that if there are changes between the markers the code shouldn't change (well there would be code changes, but not in the functional part only in variable definitions). Let me detail:
If you no longer need to replace the Town= string, then all you have to do is removing _TOWN from _ALL: set _ALL=_PWD _ACCT _POST _LOC.
The reverse: if you want to add some other tag (let's call it Name), you have to create a new environment variable: set _NAME=Name= and add it to _ALL: set _ALL=_PWD _ACCT _TOWN _POST _LOC _NAME.
As an indirect consequence, I didn't focus on performance, so it might run slow. Anyway I tried to keep the disk accesses (which are painfully slow) to a minimum (one example is when having 2 for loops the one that iterates on a file contents - assuming that each iteration takes a disk access; this might not be true, and Win has IO buffering - it's the outer one).
I "commented" out the last line in the file, to avoid overwriting the original file. If that behavior is needed, simply remove the rem at the beginning.
Here's the batch code:
#echo off
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
set _INFILE="File.txt"
set _OUTFILE="NewFile.txt"
set _OLDFILE="OldFile.txt"
set _PWD=Pword=
set _ACCT=Account=
set _TOWN=Town=
set _POST=Postcode=
set _LOC=LocationChanged=
set _ALL=_PWD _ACCT _TOWN _POST _LOC
echo Parsing old file contents...
for /f "tokens=*" %%f in ('type !_OLDFILE!') do (
for %%g in (!_ALL!) do (

set %%gCONTENTS=%%f
)
)
)
copy nul %_OUTFILE%

if "!_WROTE!" equ "0" (
echo.!_TMPVAR0!>>!_OUTFILE!
) else (
set _WROTE=0
)
)
rem copy /-y %_OUTFILE% %_INFILE%
#EDIT0: Using #StevoStephenson suggestion (as part of the question snippet), I replaced the (2nd) outer for loop to ('findstr /n "^^" !_INFILE!') in order to include the empty lines, so the 3rd remark no longer applies (deleting). Also did some small changes to allow files that contain SPACE s in their paths.
Maybe it works like this
set CopyFile=oldfile.txt
set InputFile=newfile.txt
set str_search="Pword"
for /f "delims=" %%i in ('findstr %str_search% %copyfile%') do set str_replace=%%i
set str_replace="%str_replace%"
echo %str_search%
echo %str_replace%

set "line=%%i"

endlocal
)
EXIT /B 0
At for /f "delims=" %%i in ('findstr %str_search% %copyfile%') do set str_replace=%%i you write the line with the variable that has the needed info to str_replace.
After that you the program calls an embeded find-and-replace-function (:far) whitch i shemelessly stole from Batch script to find and replace a string in text file without creating an extra output file for storing the modified file
This function finds the string "Pword" and replaces it by the line find in the old file.
Attention:
This doesn't solve your problem completely since your new file has to be s.th like this.
#Password
Pword
so if you loose the = it works otherwise it doesn't. I hope this helps you with your problem.
It's not perfect but this may be okay for you:

I've left the delete and rename for you to add at the end.
This solution should be much faster than the other solutions.
It will also preserve empty lines and lines containing ! and ^.
It only needs one findstr call for collecting the old values for all words.
A second findstr determines all lines (by line number) in the infile which needs an update.

How can i search a string and replace it with a variable.
i would like to search version="1.37.0" but the version number could be anything. And there are two "version=" string in package.xml but i would like to replace second one.
how can i search version="x.x.x" and replace it with version="$variable"?
is there any one liner?
i did try to use something like this to search:
findstr "version="[0-9].[0-9].[0-9]" package.xml
and also same thing for desrciption="$variable1"
package.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<PackageManifest>
<Package name="audio"
description="something. . .."
version="1.37.0"
comment="">

I want to develop the following logic
Read all files in a directory
Extract the first part of the filename – this will be the partner name
Extract anything after the first underscore- this will be filename
Eg: ZZTEST_123_abc_doc.txt ZZTEST is partner. 123_abc_doc.txt is the filename.

But the result is
ID_ZZRoutingID_filename.txt
Filename is :ZZRoutingID_ZZRoutingID_filename1.txt
Partner is :ZZRoutingID

Result: ID_ZZRoutingID_filename1.txt
The result should be ZZRoutingID_filename1.txt but i am getting
ID_ZZRoutingID_filename1.txt.
Please help
The purpose of the length calculation is not clear to me, but I would suggest adding an asterisk following the 1 in your for /f "tokens=1 delims=_". You would then get the "filename" you were looking for through %%j.
I tested it like this:
#echo off
setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
set source=D:\Program Files\Somewhere
cd %source%
for /r %%i in (*.*) do (
for /f "tokens=1* delims=_" %%j in ( "%%~nxi" ) do (
echo partner: %%j
echo name: %%k
)
)
endlocal
If you do not need to recurse through sub-directories:
#echo off
set source=D:\Program Files\Somewhere
for /f "tokens=1* delims=_" %%i in ( 'dir "%source%" /b /a-d' ) do (
echo partner: %%i
echo filename: %%j
)
dir /b /a-d retrieves the list of a directory's content except its sub-directories:
D:\Program Files\Somewhere>dir /b /a-d
ZZTEST_123_456.txt
