SED Question

2009-10-14T07:36:00Z

I have the following question about sed and methacaracters:

In the eg number 1, I escaped the +, to get any matches with 1 plus (1 or more characters)
In the eg number 2, I escaped the *, to get any matches with 0 or more characters, but it scape the * and takes it at literal.

Why it doesn't take + literal as well?
How does it really works?
Any help?

1.) sed -ne '/t\+/Ip'

tango
tango > repeated
balada > non repeated

2.) sed -ne '/t\*/Ip'

t8
t*

Re: Get my parameters from a txt file

2009-09-24T13:38:58Z

Hi all ,

I am Trying to pass the parameter from the batch file

Here is the process i am following

batchinput.txt
--------------
FD1 FL1
FD2 FL2
FD3 FL3
FD4 FL4
FD5 FL5
FD6 FL6
FD7 FL7

my batch file

cpy.bat
-------
@echo off
setlocal
set IMPORTFILE=C:\batchinput.txt

for /f %%a IN (%IMPORTFILE%) do (
call :PROCESS
)

:PROCESS
echo "%%a"
copy "C:\Documents and Settings\bhattu\Desktop\TST\%1\%2\*.txt" "C:\Documents and Settings\bhattu\Desktop\TSTFD\%1\%2\*.txt"

The out put from the batchile is

C:\Documents and Settings\bhattu>for.bat
"%a"
The system cannot find the file specified.
"%a"
The system cannot find the file specified.
"%a"
The system cannot find the file specified.
"%a"
The system cannot find the file specified.
"%a"
The system cannot find the file specified.
"%a"
The system cannot find the file specified.
"%a"
The system cannot find the file specified.
"%a"
The system cannot find the file specified.

but i want to pass the %1 as the FD1 - FD7 and %2 as FL1 - FL7 so that it will copy all the text files in the respective folders

when i am echoing the %%a value it is showing the %a instead of the values in the text file.

when i am trying in the following way it is echoing the values correctly.

cpy1.bat
--------
@echo off
setlocal
set IMPORTFILE=C:\batchinput.txt

FOR /f %%a in (%IMPORTFILE%) do echo "%%a"

the output is
-------------
FD1 FL1
FD2 FL2
FD3 FL3
FD4 FL4
FD5 FL5
FD6 FL6
FD7 FL7

Can you please help me how can i pass the %1 and %2 values to batch file from the text file.

Just to let you know you have encountered a defect in your nas product, Windows OS from 2000 on employ a time stamp with a 64 bit value, some samba based NAS devices run an older samba code base that can return a 32 bit or 64 bit timestamp depending on the smb call done.

Robocopy and the windows host are expecting a 64 bit timestamp and your NAS device returned a 32 bit value.

If you have support on this device I would open a ticket with your vendor as they have a defect in their product causing you needless pain.

Hello Omer.Try something on the lines of:
type PrintMe.txt >> prn
Where you need to print the entire contents of the file directly. However,
if you wish to print something like the rendered html file, this will not
work (it is expected to print the html source instead).

Create batch file

2009-08-14T10:06:47Z

Hi,
I'm looking for someone to generate a batch file which:
1) runs a command (example: copy)
2) If this command successfully completes then it should run another command (example: delete)
3) If this command 1 (copy) is NOT successful then it should broadcast a message to the user's computer via net send saying "error encountered deleting "%filename%"" & not continue with command 2

I have spent hours trying to do this but have failed miserably!

Re: progress bar

2009-08-12T18:00:46Z

Hi,

Cheers to Josh for his link.

I've taken the batch file listed there, and together with your script,
have created a different script.
I dunno about you, but when I ran the batch file listed in Josh's link, it
didn't do the backspace for me.

I chose this, as I found the flaw in my program. It would only rotate
when it was not installing something, which wasn't what you wanted.
This program does what I would have done, except it works.

The only prerequisite is that you have the .net framework and textpad
installers in the same directory as the batch file.

I have only tested it with the "notepad", and what I see is that while
notepad is open, the spinner works. :o)
Just close each notepad to see the program advance.

:: begin Net-Textpad-Installer.cmd
@echo off

being installed, so as to inform the user

I find the easiest way is to update the title - that way you don't have

do a CLS all the time.

The reason for the two lines of ping -n, is that it's quicker for ping

It doesn't have to be exact, just something showing the user that things are moving. I want to use this while installing programs using a batch file.

Re: process the list in reverse order in batch file

2009-08-10T21:24:19Z

There are 2 ways to return from a call

1) goto :EOF
2) exit /B X

In way 2, X is a number, and the errorlevel variable will be set to X.

Example

for %p in (one two three) do call :showParam

:ShowParam
echo %1
goto :EOF

Good Luck

Re: process the list in reverse order in batch file

You can assign the parameter to a temporary variable and use the variable:

:compile
set HelpVar=%1
if /I "%HelpVar:~0,5%" == "zero." ...etc...

GISkier

ya it worked fine :)
But in my code o am gettring str as a pameter from other piece of code..

Here is my snippet

:processEach
for /F "tokens=1,* delims=," %%r in ("!revDepends!") do (set revDepends=%%s& call :compile %%r)
if not "!revDepends!" == "%1" goto :processEach

:compile
echo %1
if /I "%(%1):~0,5%" == "zero." echo HI

How Do I put %1 (that conatns a single value , may be 'zero.core' ) in if condition...

I missed the closing quote:

%str:~0,5%

Good Luck

GISkier

Hi I have tried this , But it didnt work
I have tried simple example..

set str = zero.core

if /I "%str:~0,5" == "zero." echo HI

It didnt print anything..

What is the problem here ??

giskier wrote:

In your code to process each line you add the following (which will take the first five letters of the variable and compare to zero. (including period)). As you can see, if the comparison matches it jumps over the processing and returns without doing anything.

:ProcessLine
if /I "%reversefoo:~0,5" == "zero." goto :EndProcessLine
...
do processing stuff here
...
:EndProcessLine
goto :EOF

The last line (goto :EOF) is the return statement assuming you got to ProcessLine using "call :ProcessLine ....etc...". You can also return using "exit /B X" where X is a number. If you use this approach, upon returning %errorlevel% will be set to X.

I hope this helps. Check the website for Stepping Software. You will find multiple interesting articles on interesting techniques to be applied in batch files. Plus the best batch file debugger: Running Steps 1.1.

Good Luck.

I have to process each one of them..

I have to check each value .. If it starts with "zero." then I should discard them , otherwise process them (simply echo them)..

How Do I put it in for loop ???

Please do reply

You can use a command in the form

rem Add code here to reverse the line (which is %* since its used as parameter in the call), and do all the processing you need here.

PS. If you don't trust the llink I sent, which is not malicious, just do a web search for "Running Steps debugger" and you will find this tool. It will be very helpful.

But in my code o am gettring str as a pameter from other piece of code..

Here is my snippet

:processEach
for /F "tokens=1,* delims=," %%r in ("!revDepends!") do (set revDepends=%%s& call :compile %%r)
if not "!revDepends!" == "%1" goto :processEach

:compile
echo %1
if /I "%(%1):~0,5%" == "zero." echo HI

How Do I put %1 (that conatns a single value , may be 'zero.core' ) in if condition...

I missed the closing quote:

%str:~0,5%

Good Luck

Hi I have tried this , But it didnt work
I have tried simple example..

set str = zero.core

if /I "%str:~0,5" == "zero." echo HI

It didnt print anything..

What is the problem here ??

In your code to process each line you add the following (which will take the first five letters of the variable and compare to zero. (including period)). As you can see, if the comparison matches it jumps over the processing and returns without doing anything.

:ProcessLine
if /I "%reversefoo:~0,5" == "zero." goto :EndProcessLine
...
do processing stuff here
...
:EndProcessLine
goto :EOF

The last line (goto :EOF) is the return statement assuming you got to ProcessLine using "call :ProcessLine ....etc...". You can also return using "exit /B X" where X is a number. If you use this approach, upon returning %errorlevel% will be set to X.

I hope this helps. Check the website for Stepping Software. You will find multiple interesting articles on interesting techniques to be applied in batch files. Plus the best batch file debugger: Running Steps 1.1.

Re: process the list in reverse order in batch file

2009-08-08T08:34:56Z

You can always reverse the original string, and then process the reversed string front to back for what you need to accomplish. Sample code which will reverse a comma separated string is:

setlocal ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION
set foo=one,two,three,four
set revFoo=
set commaAdder=

:reverseLoop
for /F "tokens=1,* delims=," %%p in ("!foo!") do (set revFoo=%%p!commaAdder!!revFoo!&set foo=%%q&set commaAdder=,)
if not "!foo!" == "" goto :reverseLoop

echo foo is !foo!
echo revFoo is !revFoo!

In order to better debug your batch code, I recommend using Running Steps. The batch debugger from Stepping Software (http://www.steppingsoftware.com). It has a code analyzer which provides you with errors and warnings even before you start executing, plus you can step through your code, watch variables, etc.

If you mean delete files that were created/modified/accessed on a particular date/time, then following script will work.

# script delete.txt
# Get a list of files that were created on a particular date.
var str list ; lf -rn "*" "some folder" ( ($fctime < "20090101130000") AND ($fctime > "20090101120000") > $list
# Delete files one by one
while ($list <> "")
do
var str file ; lex "1" $list > $file
system delete ("\""+$file+"\"")
done

Script is in biterscripting ( http://www.biterscripting.com ) . The above script will delete files created between Jan 1, 2009 12:00 noon, and 1:00 pm. Use $fmtime for modification time, and $fatime for access time.

%temp% is normally the place rather than %tmp%

There may be a permissions issue because it is in the root of C: but try
this batch file to see if it works on your PC. It works here in XP.

Hi,

I am using this batch file to create another batch file in %tmp% which will delete "C:\webserver"

>"%TMP%.\Uninstall_EasyWebServer.cmd" ECHO.@ECHO off
>>"%TMP%.\Uninstall_EasyWebServer.cmd" ECHO RD /S /Q "%HOMEDRIVE%\webserver"
>>"%TMP%.\Uninstall_EasyWebServer.cmd" ECHO ECHO Easy Web Server was successfully removed from your computer
>>"%TMP%.\Uninstall_EasyWebServer.cmd" ECHO PAUSE
cd /d "%TMP%"
"%TMP%.\Uninstall_EasyWebServer.cmd"

My problem is that the batch file created in %tmp% cannot delete "C:\webserver" and the error message is "The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process." Which is weird because C:\webserver is just an empty folder.

So I downloaded Process Monitor to see which process is keeping C:\webserver in use and found that no process is keeping that folder in use.

Do you see anything in that batch file that could be causing this problem?

Thanks
