These commands are used for loops, conditionals, and other programming functions within the batch file and are explained in detail later in this chapter. You can create batch files with any text editor or word processor that can save plain ASCII text files, such asNotepad. In fact, by default, you can right-click any batch file and select Edit to open that file in Notepad.
This simple menu framework parses itself for batch labels of certain signature and lists them as menu items. The self-parsing feature makes the menu generic. New menu items can be inserted by adding new function blocks without changing the menu infrastructure. Date and Time functions are useful for: Calculations with date and time values Determine the age of files in days Determine the date difference in days.
The example in this section demonstrates how to use the :ftime function to determine the age in days of all files in the temp directory. Two variables are used tnow - stores the current day in julian days format by calling :jdate tfile - stores the file date in julian days format by calling :ftime.
Read more about this behavior in the SET command help bottom half of the help text. If you frequently find yourself calling FTP from the command line, each time having to login and change directory and change FTP modes, until you finally get where you want be in order to do some real work then you may wish to get there with a singe click.
This little batch can connect to your FTP server and logs you in before it gives you the prompt. You can easily add more FTP commands to it, like changing directories or switching to binary mode or whatever you like to be done before taking over control on the FTP prompt. The FTP connection information is embedded within the batch itself.
Optionally a FTP script can be provided as input stream, that way multiple FTP scripts can share the same login information. Example: FtpLogin. First time it retrieves a list of files on the FTP server. The files in the trimmed list are then downloaded during a second connection. Title Connecting Title Preparing Title Processing Title Disconnecting All variables in the FTP script will be resolved. All batch lines start with semicolon so that they will be ignored by the FOR loop.
Script: 1. Add this line at the beginning of the FTP script:. The "FTP -s:ftpscript. Good: You end up with only one file that contains the batch script and the FTP script combined. Minor flaw: The batch command in the first line causes an "Invalid command.
That way if the username, password or hostname for the FTP connection changes you only need to edit a single place instead of having to edit all FTP scripts one by one. This automatic login script also described in detail earlier can be used to execute different FTP scripts that share the same login information stored within the batch file. This is no different from regularly executing FTP with -s option.
Depending on what you choose, the next screen will allow you to customize exactly what days and times you want the batch file to run.
Here are the options for weekly:. Finally, enter in the credentials for an Administrator account on the computer so that the task can run without any problems.
Click Finish and your task will now show up in the list of scheduled tasks. Your batch file is now scheduled to run according to the schedule you created. If you are using a newer version of Windows like Windows 7 or Windows 10, make sure to check out my other article on how to create and schedule batch files. If you have any problems setting up your batch file as a scheduled task, feel free to post a comment here and I will help!
Making and Processing Lists of File Names Actually just using the DIR command appropriately, then processing the result with the techniques shown above.
But it is such a common question Usually because they never seem to apply to whatever it is you're working on at the moment.
NT Batch Programming Not a tutorial, just a listing of code fixes for NT when the techniques shown on this page won't work.
