My .sh file starts like this:
curl --cookie-jar cookies.txt "url"
When I run this .sh file directly from Cygwin it properly creates the cookies.txt file. However when I call the .sh file via a .bat file, the curl commands work, but the .txt file is not created.
My batch file looks like
#echo off
c:
chdir c:\cygwin64\bin
bash --login -i -c curl_test.sh
Why is the text file not created?
The issue was I did not include the path. When I referenced the .txt file I need to first do /bin/cookies.txt whereas when doing it from bash directly you do not.

I am trying to create a batch file which runs an exe with arguments.
The exe needs an input file as argument.
Instead of specifying file name as argument, I would like to consider all files residing in that folder as input to exe.
Below is the syntax I have used in the batch script and executed it. Upon running below code batch script stopping suddenly.
However, when I specify the file name and run from command prompt the execution is successful.
Example:
Example.exe -i c:\Test\*.wav -o c:\result
I have looked at few of the examples in Google and found that I can use *.fileextension to refer that particular files in the folder.
I am thinking if there is a better approach to achieve this.
I am assuming you will run the same command and switch for multiple wav files.
#echo off
for %%i in (*.wav) do (
example.exe -i %%i -o c:\result
)
I know the title doesn't make sense, but I have one question. I have made this file called Test.bin and here's whats inside the .bin file:
echo Hello World
Since its a test file, I've been trying to see if i can make a batch file that can read the commands in the .bin file and output it onto the console.
Not sure what you are trying to do exactly, but I think you have two options:
Rename test.bin as test.bat and run it with:
test
Start a new command interpreter and send it your commands:
cmd < test.bin
You could also use the copy command. However, for this to work the test.bin file should be
in the same directory/folder. Alternatively, you can specify the file's path.
Your code should look something like this:
#echo off
copy test.bin
Or, using the filepath method (pretending its on your desktop):
#echo off
copy C:/users/me/Desktop/test.bin
In an application folder, there are n number of files. The application exe name "ClearMongoDb.exe" take some parameter like dbname.
ex: clearMongoDb.exe -db "SynchoMeshDB"
I am stuck with below :
I want to execute the exe from a batch file with same parameters
the batch file will be placed in the same application folder.
user can copy the application folder to any location
If user double clicks on the .bat file the exe should start working.
User should not be required to make any changes in .bat file
If the batch file is in the same folder as the executable, then you can do like this:
clearMongoDb.exe -db "SynchoMeshDB"
Just add this line in your batch file. Now the refference is in the same folder as the executable, no matter where the ENTIRE folder is moved (or at least the executable and batch file).
update:
As foxidrive mentioned, in order to see the output, place a PAUSE command at the end. So, your batch file should be like this:
clearMongoDb.exe -db "SynchoMeshDB"
PAUSE
If you just want to pass all the parameters given to a batch file to an EXE called from that batch file, use %*.
foo.exe %*
How do I pass command line parameters to a batch file?
You can just use a shortcut to the file and add the parameters on the path. no need for an extra batch file.
edit: unless you want to pass the batch file parameters to the .exe, as some people read this. what do you want to do? execute a .exe with the same parameters each time, or pass the .bat parameters to the .exe?
me again :P
I have some problems with some bat file, that bat file , connects to and ftp and download all files from a remote folder, then delete it, but my problem/question is: i need a txt(log) of every file before download it from the remote server, here is my file
bat file:
ftp -i -s:ftpfile.txt site.com
txt file
user-name
user-pass
lcd c:\localfolder\some\folder
cd remotefolder-name
mget .
mdelete \\remotefolder-name\ .
quit
If i use the >>mylog.txt on this line:
ftp -i -s:ftpfile.txt site.com>>mylog.txt
I get some extra data that i dont want to. I just need the file names before download it, something like this:
log.txt
file001x.xml
filedfx.xml
file023x.xml
filed33x.xml
Ps:sorry for my english ;)
You may redirect ls output to local file. Syntax is: ls pattern local_file. An example would be: ls * ftplist.txt or ls . ftplist.txt. Both will produce a file ftplist.txt (in local current directory if you do not specify path) with a list of files (and possibly subdirs) in current directory on remote server (in slightly different formats)
I need to do a downloadable Windows batch file (.bat) which runs lpr command on clients machine. That's easy. The hard part is that the batch file must include the data to be printed also. Everything needs to be in one downloadable-file that could be ran by the enduser.
Is there any way to include .prn file (Print-to-file -file) in batch file? Or can I somehow include the printer data on lpr command?
Thanks!
As far as know you cannot include print data in your lpr command. You can specify the file to print and that is it. But do you know the printer name of all the clients? It sounds like there might be a better way of deploying if the clients are on the same network.
You cannot include a .prn file in a .bat (or .cmd) file in any reasonable way (even if the .prn file is a text file). Again if clients are on the same network the .bat file (or .cmd) could access the .prn file stored in a shared place.
Lpr: Sends a file to a computer
running Line Printer Daemon in
preparation for printing.
Syntax
lpr [-S ServerID] -P PrinterName [-C
BannerContent] [-J JobName] [{-o | -o
l}] [-d] [-x] FileName
"The hard part is that the batch file must include the data to be printed also. Everything needs to be in one downloadable-file that could be ran by the enduser."
I'm a little unclear on this, however to me it sounds like you want the batch script to include the text of the data you wish to print?
It looks as if you can have the information in say a .txt file and pass it through lpr:
lpr -P printername -x file.txt
If you need information from a .prn file inside of this printed .txt file, you can try:
TYPE file.prn>>file.txt
However not sure if TYPE will work on a .prn file.
