How to combine forfiles and for loop script to run the file

[foxidrive]

There is a "system cannot find the path specified above". Here is how I set my path.

@echo off
set in_path=E:\input\
set out_path=E:\output

set temp_path=%out_path%\temp\
set processed_files_path=E:\processed files\
md "%processed_files_path%" 2>nul
cd /d "%in_path%"

You have changed this in more ways than only changing the paths and I have no confidence that you have not also introduced other changes...


The error message you mentioned is only cosmetic and you can stop it appearing by changing this in two places:
rd "%temp_path%"
to
rd "%temp_path%" 2>nul

Lets see the entire batch file that you are using.  Please keep it as is.  Do not obfuscate anything.

The following are the entire batch file I am using from the input folder:

A2001274033500.L1_LAC.A.hdf
A2001274033500.L2_LAC.A.hdf
A2001274051000.L1_LAC.A.hdf
A2001274051000.L2_LAC.A.hdf
A2001274051500.L1_LAC.A.hdf
A2001274051500.L2_LAC.A.hdf
A2001274065000.L1_LAC.A.hdf
A2001274065000.L2_LAC.A.hdf
A2001275041500.L1_LAC.A.hdf
A2001275041500.L2_LAC.A.hdf
A2001275042000.L1_LAC.A.hdf
A2001275042000.L2_LAC.A.hdf
A2001275055000.L1_LAC.A.hdf
A2001275055000.L2_LAC.A.hdf
A2001275055500.L1_LAC.A.hdf
A2001275055500.L2_LAC.A.hdf
A2001275060000.L1_LAC.A.hdf
A2001275060000.L2_LAC.A.hdf


While the bat file is running here are the files I've pasted/added to the input folder from the desktop folder.

A2001038044500.L2_LAC.A.hdf
A2001038045000.L2_LAC.A.hdf
A2001038063000.L2_LAC.A.hdf
A2001038062500.L2_LAC.A.hdf

I asked for the BATCH file code you are using!! Not what input files you are using!!!

Would it kill you to use bulletin board CODE tags like everyone else has been using.

You have two lines of code that are wrapping.  If they are like that in your batch file they would cause some syntax errors.

Now that I look again - the error you quoted (without the word "above" in Win 8.1) is caused by a different problem,
but it would have to be such an elementary error that I can't believe you keep getting it...

The input folder doesn't exist, and so there can't be any source files in there.
This assumes that the batch file you pasted above is correct...

This solved the error "can't find the path specified above". But after all the files from the input folder was projected successfully and those files were moved to the processed files folder then I've pasted 4 new files in the input folder I don't know why it isn't even working. It just keeps on waiting for 30 seconds  But in your case it's working

Because in the middle of the script you do a change directory to the temp path but never do a change directory back to the input path because it is outside the loop label.

Figured it out already. The cd .. part is causing the problem. Just modified it by changing the directory pointing to the input_path.
Thank you squashman and to you foxidrive who do all the efforts in creating this script and for your patience.

Well spotted Squashman.  My test created extra files after the timeout command but it created them in the current directory, and of course it worked fine.


Anyway, it's solved after a lengthy battle, nice work.
