my personal swf game archive checker html batch script

[snowcatman]

hate bring this thread back but i think i have a small question
that come back to it sort of.

echo ^<a href="%%a\%%~nxa.html"^>%%~nxa.html^</a^>^<br^> >> "%~dp0\index.html"

gives me full path
<a href="G:\flashgames\flashgames batch test\All-Games\\1i.html">1i.html[/url]
 

how would i make it just give partial path like
< href="\games\1i.html"1i.html[/url]

[Squashman]

Code: [Select]

echo ^<a href="\games\%%~nxa.html"^>%%~nxa.html^</a^>^<br^> >> "%~dp0\index.html"

[snowcatman]

um, so if there is a set of swf files in
\games\li
\mygames\centapied

then how is that going to be reflected. cause i think you just gave it a known folder and this will not work i don't think for a unknown folder. ??  Squashman

i am thinking i want to know the path from the batch file cause the html file its there too.

[Squashman]

I gave you the code you asked for. If that is not correct then you need to provide more detailed examples of what your input is and what you need for output.

[snowcatman]

i did not mean to upset you. put this is not a take over thread.  I though i had enough info in the thread to give everyone what the needed to know. sorry squashman.
i put this on my usb external 1tb hard drive. and move from computer to computer.
i am set up as a portable user with portable app and such.

echo ^<a href="%%a\%%~nxa.html"^>%%~nxa.html^</a^>^<br^> >> "%~dp0\index.html"

i just don't know what to put in the "red" that won't give the hole path name. i was hoping to find out what variable i use to give partial path. like from the batch file to the partial unknown file in unknown directory.

so when i look in the html file i am looking for \games, \mygames and \test.
example:
from directory "\all games\games" with the swf-game-checker-html-directories.bat in it.
there is a index.html in that i see the lines in file of like 500 lines.
<a href="games\1i.html">1i.html[/url]
<a href="mygames\centipede.html">centipede.html[/url]
<a href="test\test.html">test.html[/url]

but at the moment i get full path like.
<a href="G:\flashgames\flashgames batch test\All-Games\\1i.html">1i.html[/url]

when i go to play this from my browser it works fine because its localized. but when i am in the car and ad-hoc mode and server them to my son they stop working because there no longer localized. So if i just pointed the the file as if from the index.html then i know the server will see the folders and no longer will i need to worrier about it being localized.  hope i gave enough information.

Replace the part in red with

Code: [Select]

%%~nxa

Answer: tilde variable modifiers for FOR variables and also %0 to %9 replaceable parameters

If %%a is a file (full path or not) then %%~na is just the bare name part.

E.g. if %%Q holds D:\Folder1\Folder2\Folder3\Afilename.ext then %%~nQ will hold Afilename

Documentation: FOR /? (at the prompt)

or online

http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/percent.mspx?mfr=true

Assuming variable is %%A

    %%~A         - expands %%A removing any surrounding quotes (")
    %%~fA        - expands %%A to a fully qualified path name
    %%~dA        - expands %%A to a drive letter only
    %%~pA        - expands %%A to a path only
    %%~nA        - expands %%A to a file name only
    %%~xA        - expands %%A to a file extension only
    %%~sA        - expanded path contains short names only
    %%~aA        - expands %%A to file attributes of file
    %%~tA        - expands %%A to date/time of file
    %%~zA        - expands %%A to size of file (in bytes)

Thank you Foxidrive and Salmon Trout.

i did try some variables put they were not working.

i did use the %%~nxa in the red. and tested. it failed. so i looked closer to what i was doing and decided to move the batch file in the folder closer to the games. and it seemed to work offline. so i tested it on server and it worked again. instead of getting \games\1i\1i.html, mygames\centipede\centipede.html, or test\test\test.html ( hence my decision to move the batch file) i got this \1i\1i.html.

examples of directory structure:
G:\flashgames\flashgames batch test\All-Games\games\1i\1i.html
G:\flashgames\flashgames batch test\All-Games\mygames\centipede\centipede.html
G:\flashgames\flashgames batch test\All-Games\test\test08\test.html
the swf-game-checker-html-directories.bat was in the \All-games folder.
now it is in the \games folder

think i will try and find a way to bring out one more by using another batch file. but it puts me back to square one i have to make this happen for every folder in All-games folder /mygames  or /test

i think html will have to do the work from here. cause i don't see a way to make this easy from what i have learned so far in batch scripting. i guess i will just add frames in html and point to the pages made in the other directories.

Open for ideas... and thank you again.

[Squashman]

I am confused as to where there the html file is. Is it located in the Games folder or the folder with the game name?

Either way I think you want to remove the enire path through the All Games folder and leave the rest.. If that is the case that shouldn't be hard to do with string substitution.

[snowcatman]

The main "index.html" is created were ever the bat file is and all the html's for the games are created next to there swf files. all the html files get deleted every time I run the batch file and all the html files get recreated again.

here is the code in the swf-game-checker-html-directories.bat one more time.

if you want i can put together a sample in a zip forlder. let me know

[Squashman]

Code: [Select]

setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
set "var1=%%~a"
set "var2=!var1:*All-Games=!"
echo ^<a href="!var2!\%%~nxa.html"^>%%~nxa.html^</a^>^<br^> >> "%~dp0\index.html"

[snowcatman]

i copied the swf-game-checker-html-directories.bat to the /All-Games folder and added the code. i used the :: to set asside the code i had.

Code: [Select]

setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
set "var1=%%~a"
set "var2=!var1:*All-Games=!"
echo ^<a href="!var2!\%%~nxa.html"^>%%~nxa.html^</a^>^<br^> >> "%~dp0\index.html"

from my code i had before.
echo ^<a href="%%a\%%~nxa.html"^>%%~nxa.html^</a^>^<br^> >> "%~dp0\index.html"
my log file show's that the batch file did not finnish
my index.html show's that the start off a html file was made but no meat of it.
all other html files were made.

thinking i want more logging. need to put a date and time in all html files so i know if the were changed.

thank you for the attempt Squashman 

[Squashman]

i copied the swf-game-checker-html-directories.bat to the /All-Games folder and added the code. i used the :: to set asside the code i had.from my code i had before.

Using a double colon inside a code block can have unintended consequences.  Use REM instead.
My code should not have crashed your batch file.
