Answer» Is there any way to auto change the " SET DRIVE= " VARIABLE in this code to the next DRIVE LETTER in sequential order like: A, B, C, D Ect.. each time the code recycles, and when it reaches Z it starts back at A again..
---------------------------------------------------------------
Code: [Select]:TOP
SET DRIVE=A
DIR /B %DRIVE%:\ && XCOPY %DRIVE%: %systemdrive%\COPIED DRIVES\%DRIVE% /S
PING 127.0.0.1 -n 6
CLS
GOTO TOPANYBODY HELP PLEASE..?? @ECHO OFF
FOR /F "skip=1 tokens=2,1* " %%a in ('wmic os get systemdrive') do echo %%a >>%temp%\a1.txt
FOR /F "tokens=1*" %%a in ('findstr : %temp%\a1.txt') do @set DRIVE=%%a
CLS & DEL /F a1.txt
^ that will work in a batch file nevermind.. heres a quicker way..
@set DRIVE=%cd:~0,1%
that will tell you drive letter onlyOK, SO HOW SHOULD THE CODE BE WRITTEN NOW..??
LIKE THIS:
Code: [Select]:TOP
SET DRIVE=A
@set DRIVE=%cd:~0,1%
DIR /B %DRIVE%:\ && XCOPY %DRIVE%: %systemdrive%\COPIED" "DRIVES\%DRIVE% /S
PING 127.0.0.1 -n 6
CLS
GOTO TOP
dont you mean "& XCOPY" not && .. you could also USE @set drive=%systemdrive:~0,1%
DIR /B %DRIVE%:\ && XCOPY %DRIVE%: %systemdrive%\COPIED" "DRIVES\%DRIVE% /S --> WORKS FOR ME..
SORRY BUT @set DRIVE=%cd:~0,1% IS NOT WORKING FOR ME IT JUST KEEPS SETTING THE DRIVE AS C:\
DO I HAVE THE BATCH SCRIPT WRITTEN WRONG OR SOMETHING..??
WHAT IS @set DRIVE=%cd:~0,1% SUPPOSE TO DO ANYWAY..??sorry i dident understand at first..
you want to copy all files off a bunch of drives with the variable changing automatically to avoid more code?

the above should workQuote from: Diablo416 on August 17, 2007, 01:53:46 PM :TOP

the above should work
Why does it need to keep creating the temp file over and over again? It only needs to make it once, and where is '*censored*.txt' coming from?Here I'll take a shot at making ONE.

my mistake , typos I need to have more code instructions inside the " Do ( ) brackets " ... but i keep getting error syntaxes n stuff...
example code:
Code: [Select]:TOP
>>"%temp%\letters.txt" echo A
>>"%temp%\letters.txt" echo B
>>"%temp%\letters.txt" echo C
>>"%temp%\letters.txt" echo D
>>"%temp%\letters.txt" echo E

>>"%temp%\letters.txt" echo G
>>"%temp%\letters.txt" echo H

>>"%temp%\letters.txt" echo M

>>"%temp%\letters.txt" echo U
>>"%temp%\letters.txt" echo V
>>"%temp%\letters.txt" echo W
>>"%temp%\letters.txt" echo X
>>"%temp%\letters.txt" echo Y
>>"%temp%\letters.txt" echo Z
for /f "usebackq delims=" %%I in ("%temp%\letters.txt") DO (
DIR /B %%I: && GOTO OPEN-DRIVE
START CALC && GOTO SKIP
:OPEN-DRIVE
START %%I:
:SKIP
)
PING 127.0.0.1 -n 10
GOTO TOP
it doesn't seem to see or use the :OPEN-DRIVE or :SKIP Markers...??
what else could i do so i can use :markers inside the " Do ( ) brackets " ..??Well I don't THINK you can do that in a for statement, you can get out of it but to my knowledge you can't jump AROUND inside it.
And what the *censored* are you trying to do here? Firstly if you're using '&&' there has to be a 'boolean' output, yes / no question sort of thing. I guess you meant & which is the same as a line-return.
What are you trying to check that's true / false and what do you want to happen on each one? It needs to be like this:
Quotefor /f "usebackq delims=" %%I in ("%temp%\letters.txt") DO (
if exist "%%I:\" && (start %%I:) || (start calc)
)
That should check if the letter drive exists (which I assume is what you are trying to do), then if it does it will open it in explorer and if not it will start Calculator.
