#echo off
rem bath file name: NNP.bat
rem created by: mark g
rem this batch file while open notepad++
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\notepad++.exe" %1
this is the batch file i have to open notepad ++ from the command line but it wont return the prompt after i run it until i close out the notepad++ program i know theres a way to get it to return while the program is still open.
what i want it to do is open a file in notepad++ and be able to run more commands
the way its written now it will open the program but waits for the program to close to return the prompt
I am fairly new in using/making .bat files.
I'm trying to make an incredible simple one that combines .txt files into a .tmp file, and then renames the .tmp file in to a .txt file.
This is the code:
#echo off
title Combine Text Files
for %f in (*.txt) do type %f >> Combined.tmp & echo. >> Combined.tmp
rename Combined.tmp Combined.txt
pause
The problem I come up with is that when I try to run the .bat file, nothing happens. CMD closes itself immediately.
If I try to run the script on the third line on CMD, it works fine and it creates the .tmp file.
Similarly, if I run the .bat file sans the script on the third line, I am able to see the "Press any key to continue.." just fine.
Am I doing wrong with the for loop when in .bat files?
You need to double the % when using for command from batch file because this is how the for parser works:
#echo off
title Combine Text Files
for %%f in (*.txt) do (
type "%%~ff">>"Combined.tmp"
(echo()>>"Combined.tmp"
)
rename "Combined.tmp" "Combined.txt"
pause
The errors in the FOR syntax are one of the very few occasions that will terminate a bat file execuction.
As type command supports wild cards you can just try with:
type "*.txt">"Combined.tmp"
Is there anyway i can print the command being executed and result of the command in batch to a file but not the console.
Examples:
ls C:\Temp
I want to print ls C:\Temp and result of this command to log file but not on console
call :function "Argument 1"
I want to print call :function "Argument 1" and result of this command to log file but not on console
call perl hey.pl
I want to print call perl hey.pl and result of this command to log file but not on console
command > output.txt
Will create an output file "output.txt" (You can also use ".log"). If such a file exists, it will overwrite it.
command >> output.txt
Will also create an output file, but it will append to it (Useful when you're in a loop and want to append the results of all of the iterations).
Create your batch file, e.g. C:\YourDir\YourBatch.cmd, making sure that you have not turned Echo Off.
At your Command prompt run the batch file.
Either by navigating to the holding path:
CD /D "C:\YourDir"
then invoking
"YourBatch.cmd">"Output.log"
or just run it directly with:
"C:\YourDir\YourBatch.cmd">"C:\YourDir\Output.log"
If you intend to append to an existing Output.log change > to >>.
I am trying to list all the files in a directory excluding the extension. I would like to output this into a txt file. I have managed to list all the files successfully.
#ECHO OFF
for %%a in ("c:\wamp64\www\blessd\final\*") do ECHO %%~na
This works fine and all the files in the directory are printed to the screen, however when I try output this to a txt file it does not work.
for %%a in ("c:\wamp64\www\blessd\final\*") do ECHO %%~na > test1.txt
You need to redirect the output of the bat file, not of a single output. If your bat file is My.bat, try:
My.bat > this.out
I have given a bat file that I should run on development server which does some updates.
It has multiple commands and I would like to keep the results in txt file.
Should I add after each command >> result.txt or I can add it somewhere in the end of bat file and everything will be written in that?
You have four options:
Run the batch file at the command line like: myBat.bat >> outPut.txt
Script the above in another batch file and run that
Insert the >> after each command ( Note: the >> appends to file, while > overrides existing text output file)
Enclose all relevant lines in parentheses and script >> result.txt once at the end of the script
