Batch Files - Error Handling
(7 answers)
Closed 6 years ago.
I have a batch file which contains below code:
runas /user:Administrator "C:\Test.bat"
When i'm running this file it asks for Password so if in case i give incorrect password it directly terminates but i want to handle this error. It should not terminate directly.
you can do it in a loop:
:loop
runas /user:Administrator "C:\Test.bat" || goto :loop
As long as runas fails (for example because of a wrong password), it will try again.

I want the code below to work or something that does the same thing.
#echo off
echo 100%
pause
When you open the .bat file it shuld look like this.
100%
Press any key to continue . . .
So i want the echo to read out the % and not to be a part of a code.
I want it to work the same as for example
#echo off
echo hi
pause
I have only tried echo 100% because i am a noob at coding so i dont know what else to try.
The percent sign has special meaning in (Windows) batch files, it is used to indicate a variable. For instance, echo %username% will print the contents of the username variable.
To echo a literal % sign, you need to double it, i.e. echo 100%%

Works in Command Prompt but not in BAT-file or CMD-file [duplicate]

I have a merge.bat file which includes the following line:
for %f in (*.txt) do type "%f" >> mergedfile.txt
This code line works perfectly if I enter it directly into a cmd window.
All the txt files are located in the same folder as this merge.bat file.
However, when I try to run it as a batch file under cmd i.e. call merge.bat it shows the following message:
f" >> mergedfile.txt was unexpected at this time
What I would like to do is setup the merge.bat file to run in the Windows 10 task scheduler at a set time, but I just can't get the .bat file to run correctly.
What am I doing wrong?
you have to add double % signs in batch file in loops.use the following code:
for %%f in (*.txt) do type "%%f" >> mergedfile.txt

I called the batch file from power shell
start-process "cmd.exe" "/c $createInDBs"
I am trying to take input like name of the database from the command prompt using a batch file
Here is my code:
echo off
cd "C:\Program Files"
Choice /N /C ab /M " <?> (A)Create All-in-one database <?> (B)Create Individual database"
If Errorlevel 2 (
set /p sIndiviName=Enter the name of webserver:
echo %sIndiviName% is an Individual Database.
) Else (
set /p sAllName=Enter the name of All-in-one database:
echo %sAllName% is an All-in-one Database.
pause
)
cmd.exe is asking for the name of the database, but in the command, the database is not taken
I got 'is an All-in-one Database'
Name of the database is not displayed

Why does FOR loop command not work in a batch file which works on Windows command prompt?

Due to problem with WINDOWS DEFENDER I need do the following:
for /r "%appdata%\..\Local\MyProg\2.0" %D IN ("*MyProgram.exe") DO "%~fD
It works perfect in COMMAND PROMPT but not in batch-file or cmd-file - why?
How do I make in a excutable file as a Batch-file or ".cmd"?
When running for loops in a batch file, you need to use an additional % in predefined variables. So it should be:
for /r "%appdata%\..\Local\MyProg\2.0" %%D IN ("*MyProgram.exe") DO "%%~fD
I suggest you read up using the well documented help by running for /? from cmdline. You will benefit from it, guaranteed!
A recursive For loop already returns the full path, additionally there's already a system variable for the path %AppData%\..\Local.
For /R "%LocalAppData%\MyProg\2.0" %%A In ("*MyProgram.exe") Do "%%A"
Depending upon your needs, it may be worth checking out the Start command usage too, Start /?. You may find that Do Start "" "%%A" is what you needed.

rem the code
echo yes
rem the code
echo no
IF EXIST yourfilename (
echo Yes

Note : ELSE command must be on the same line as the end of the IF command.
To explore more type IF /? in cmd.
