I am trying to create an empty folder at a particular destination. When I just run the command MD "C:\Release\test" it executes and creates a folder. however when the same command is in the .bat file along with other commands it doesnt seem to create any folder. Please help me with this
That line works fine for me. One way to force it to work is by changing your directory to C:\Release and then run the MD or mkdir command.

I have a batch file that's in my desktop and it works properly when I execute it using double click. But when I execute it using a task scheduler or run as administrator, the working directory changes to C:\Windows\system32 and it doesn't work properly.
What's the reason why it happens and how do I retain the working directory?
Put this line at the top of your bat file:
pushd %~dp0
See this post for details
Difference between "%~dp0" and ".\"?
Unable to Execute The Bat file for building jar and copying into different location.
C:\apache-ant-1.9.15\bin\ant -f build.xml && COPY Source-Folder-Path Destination-Folder-Path /y
Its not building jar file. Can you pls rectify my script. I am using bat file to do this as its my regular task in project.
I got the answer and would like to post here for someone else, who got stuck here.
Write this script and put it near build.xml
Run the bat file in command line for repeat process.
C:\apache-ant-1.9.15\bin\ant compile jar && COPY D:\karshil-sheth\java.jar C:\my-Project\webapp\WEB-INF\lib /y
Script Explanation :-
It will find ant from location u installed or can write simple ant.
compile jar will create jar and put in the folder where u running the bat.
Also can write ant compile jar run this script and run, will get same output.
after && I am copying file from source to destination path as every time I change the code project will be executed from that jar.
/y is for overriding the last jar and pop up wont appear every time you run this script.
Been working on creating a flexible batch script that when you drop it into a folder and run it it will will run it's command on every file in that folder and subfolders but exclude specific file types such as itself. This has proved far more difficult than originally thought and would be thankful for some insight.
Goals of the batch file:
Running command on files that lack a file extension
Does run command on files with a file extension
Relative paths for flexible use when dropped into folders
Helpful to run through child folders as well, but not required
What me and a colleague have come up with thus far for checking functionality is this:
set FILEFORMATS=".bat"".ini"
for %%x in (*) do if /I not %%x == (%FILEFORMATS%) (echo If Not Command) else (echo If Command)
The problem we think we're running into is the if statement seems to check all files in the folder as a whole and executes based on that instead of checking if the statement is true for each file individually in the folder.
Thanks in advance
I'm trying to get a bat file together and not sure how to run multiple cmd lines through the .bat.
Objective: I want to be able to click on this .bat file to open cmd prompt, then to find a "folder" in the directory, rename the "Folder" then move the location of the folder then find a existing Folder and put it in the same directory.
Problem: i know how to run these cmds in the prompt without an issues.
So far this is what i have:
#echo off
start cmd.exe /k cd %AppData%\Microsoft\Network\Connections
#echo off
and then just write your commands its that simple
A .bat file is executed in a terminal window automatically, you don't need to call cmd.exe or anything like that.
Every single line you write in the .bat file is going to be executed one by one, so you just need to write multiple lines with all the instructions and then you can double click on your new file to run the script.
If you are not familiar with Windows commands for the terminal, you can find more info on the web about how to find a folder, rename it, etc. There are many things you can do by command line and this is not the right place to explain how to use them.
I'm attempting to write a batch file that will move to the specified directory and then run the command to open my desired program. Specifically I want it to run the command HardwareSimulator so it will open the software nand2tetris provides.
I've gotten it to move to the directory I want, but the opening is my issue. Code is displayed below. I'm guessing start isn't the correct command since when I run, it just runs an infinite loop of opening cmd prompts.
My second question would be: can I only go into sub-directories of where my batch file is already stored? It would be easier to store it in my desktop, so I can just click it whenever, but I can't seem to make it back out of a directory and then go down into another.
start cmd
pushd \nand2tetris\projects\P1Codes
start HardwareSimulator
pause
You can use ..\ to go back a directory.
For instance, if you had nand2tetris in your downloads folder you could get to it from the desktop with this script. Also make sure to to include the file extension.
pushd ..\Downloads\nand2tetris\projects\P1Codes
start HardwareSimulator.exe
pause
