I am working on a batch file right now and I have everything done that I need but I'm stuck at one point. One of the programs I use spits out a log file and I have it place this file on the C:drive in a folder. What I want to do is have it read this .txt and spit that back into the batch file as an echo.
You can put this in your batch file:
type C:\folder\test.txt
This will echo out the contents of test.txt.

So, I'm trying to make a folder with a load of batch files, each individually will copy a certain character to the clipboard. My first one was ñ. I made a batch file that runs the script
echo|set/p=ñ|clip
But on running the batch file ├▒ <- is copied to my clipboard.
Anyone know why and what I should change in the script?
Turns out I needed to change the batch file to use UTF-8 by putting
chcp 65001
at the start of the batch file.
This is a line of code from a batch file I'm working on.
echo %systemroot% >> untitled.bat
It's job is to append the text %systemroot% to another batch file called untitled.bat.
When I open the untitled.bat file with notepad to view the code it reads C:\Windows.
This makes sense because that is my %systemroot% but my problem is that I want the code to be written to the untitled.bat file as %systemroot% not C:\Windows.
Does anyone know how (if at all) this is possible?
This line of code works for me:
echo %%systemroot%% >> untitled.bat
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?
Initially I captured a file using batch file and it is open with Notepad. How do I code the batch file so that it will save with WordPad.
Batch File :
Remarks:This document is for Linksys for version v4.30.5, the auto sensing part.
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Wireless Guard\wget" "http://192.168.1.254/xslt#PAGE=C_2_0"
copy "xslt#PAGE=C_2_0" "xslt#PAGE=C_2_0.txt"
del "xslt#PAGE=C_2_0"
You don't really have to do anything to get it to save with WordPad as such. As previously commented batch files output to plain text so you can open it with WordPad if you wish.
You could do this in batch with:
write txtfile.txt
Or to permanently associate WordPad set it as your default txt program in Control Panel.
Hope this helps.
Edit: Brief Summary
I have number files in a directory, called crash0, crash1 etc. I want to run a .bat file for each of this with a command line like:
abc.bat crash0 > crash0.txt
How can I make another .bat file that loops over all the crashXX files calls abc.bat once for each one of them?
Original Question
Please find my situation below..
I have some files (number may vary each time) in a folder with its name starting with crash. That is crash0, crash1..etc. I want to provide these files as an input to a .bat file (let it be abc.bat) and then navigate the out put a corresponding text file. The command looks like abc.bat crash0 > crash0.txt. I have to do this to all the crash files in the folder. This abc.bat files actually converts the non-readable files to a readable format. So at the end I should have txt files like crash0.txt, crash1.txt.. etc for the corresponding crash files which i provided as the input. Can any one help with a .bat script to run this in cmd?? am new to .bat scripting.. thx in advance
for %%i in (crash*) do #call abc.bat %%i > %%i.txt
