[olo131]

I have made a bat file for a speed test I use for work,  I would like to know is there a way to have it copy to a text doc when it finishes automatically.

Here is my bat file.

@echo off
:A
echo.
echo CREATED FOR KNOLOGY SPEED TEST        by: OLO 131
:B
echo.
echo Time and Date of Test
echo.
Date /t
Time /t
echo.
echo.
echo Type Number Then Enter
echo.
set choice=
set /p choice=CMTS 
set /p choice=Port 
echo.
echo Iperf Speed Test Server xx.x.xx.xxx
iperf -c xx.x.xx.xxx -r -w 64k -t 10 -i .5
echo.
echo.
echo.
echo.
echo Ping Iperf Server Test
ping xx.x.xx.xxx -n 10 -l 64k
echo.
echo.
echo DONE!
echo.
pause
goto B

[.bat_man]

can u explain more
what u want it to copy

[olo131]

Yes,
  What I would like is when the test finishes to automatically create a text file named speed test and save on the desktop. I know I can just right click the screen and select all and enter to copy then open notepad then paste it there, I wondered if there was an easier way to automate the process.

Thank you in advance
James

[.bat_man]

its duable but u have to dublicate the commands not all of them ( to insure ur speed check)
lets assum that the file name is "ur Desktoppath/speed test.txt"
@echo off
set fname="ur Desktoppath/speed test.txt"
:A
echo.
echo. >fname
echo CREATED FOR KNOLOGY SPEED TEST        by: OLO 131
echo CREATED FOR KNOLOGY SPEED TEST        by: OLO 131 >>fname
:B
echo.
echo. >>fname
echo Time and Date of Test  >>fname
echo.
echo. >>fname
Date /t
Date /t >>fname
Time /t
Time /t  >>fname
echo.
echo. >>fname
echo.
echo. >>fname
echo Type Number Then Enter
echo Type Number Then Enter >>fname
echo.
echo. >>fname
set choice=
set /p choice=CMTS 
echo CMTS>>fname
echo %choice%>>fname
set /p choice=Port 
echo Port>>fname
echo %choice%>>fname
echo.
echo. >>fname
echo Iperf Speed Test Server xx.x.xx.xxx
echo Iperf Speed Test Server xx.x.xx.xxx >>fname
iperf -c xx.x.xx.xxx -r -w 64k -t 10 -i .5 >>fname //its not douplicated to not change the speed test
echo.
echo. >>fname
echo.
echo. >>fname
echo.
echo. >>fname
echo.
echo. >>fname
echo Ping Iperf Server Test
echo Ping Iperf Server Test >>fname
ping xx.x.xx.xxx -n 10 -l 64k >>fname //its not douplicated to not change the speed test
echo.
echo. >>fname
echo.
echo. >>fname
echo DONE!
echo DONE! >>fname
echo.
echo. >>fname
pause
echo x | pause >>fname
goto B

[.bat_man]

oh sorry
u should put fname between % like that

echo. >>%fname%

due to its a variable

[olo131]

First,
   Thank you .bat_man for your help.

  Now I'm getting this error and nothing is in the text file I would think the first couple of lines would copy, and I did add the >>%speed test.txt% in place of >>fname.

[BC_Programmer]

he meant for you to use %fname% as a variable that you set when you start the batch, as in
set fname=speed test.txt

and then use %fname% as he described, not %speed test.txt%.

[.bat_man]

the variable name cant have spaces in its name for that u have to set the variable fname as this example

set fname="C:\Documents and Settings\James and Robyn.DELL-DESKTOP\Desktop\speed test.txt"

instead of this
set speed test.txt=C:\Documents and Settings\James and Robyn.DELL-DESKTOP\Desktop

i hope it works

[olo131]

.bat_man and BC_Programmer thank you for everything, it works, I have learn a lot form this site and will continue to be a member seeing this is my first.

   Below are the results, now I have another question when the test runs I can not see the results of the speed test or the ping test the command runs in the window just not the result but they do show up in the .txt file. Is there a way to see the test results. IF not I thank you again.

[blastman]

you could use 'start C:\path\to\results\text\file.txt' to start the txt file containing the results after the script has run.

Add it to the end of the batch file, just before your final 'exit'


hope it helps.

Ok I know it's been nearly a year but I have a question with my .bat file

Using the original command in this post is there any way to have the command restart its self every 15 min once it has been started or to have the command run 4 times in 1 hour.

Any combo of time will be fine if it can be done

Thanks
James

very old thead indeed.

sleep 15min --- use vbs sleep function
restart - call the batch itself --- %0
then to break, press CTRL-C

[Helpmeh]

Or you could do a scheduled task?

Also, to do it on different computers without needing to change the code, the path to the desktop (on XP computers) is "%userprofile%\Desktop", can someone check that on a vista computer?

Works on my Vista Laptop.

Thank you for answering my question and I thought using my old thread was better than starting a new one

I sorry I have not learn visual basic I just started with this one command. I'm not looking for someone to just fix my issue just point me in the right direction(and I think you have tried I just don't understand). I don't need a lot of fancy stuff and if I do my command is to simple for that.

Thank you  for all your help

James
