multipule lines as a var

[dakota]

i could have it go only to a file and have my batch file use that file and then out put to a new file and delete the temp file with the file list in it.

[dakota]

any help because when i have it go out to a file it goes out as only the first line.

Post your code so we can help you troubleshoot the problem.

@echo off
:start

set fup=fup
set pur=purge
set alt=altpr

the part at the bottom with all of the for loops is for the part wher i add things onto the file or var

[dakota]

And what i am trying to do with this is get a list of all the files in a derectory (the one the batch file is in) and have only the files and no directories incluted and it needs to be in the bare format.

I don't see anything that outputs to a file that is not commented out.  What is the problem with the script?  What is it doing, and what do you want it to do?

[GuruGary]

Is there a reason you don't use the command:

Code: [Select]

dir /b /a-d
Or to save it to a file, use:

Code: [Select]

dir /b /a-d >testtt.txt
Or if you want the list in a semi-colon separated environment variable, use:

Code: [Select]

@echo off
set FileList=
for /f "delims=" %%a in ('dir /b /a-d') do call :AppendList %%a
echo FileList is: %FileList%
goto :EOF

:AppendList
set FileList=%FileList%;%1
goto :EOF

[GuruGary]

For the "save to a file" method and then list them it would be like:

Code: [Select]

@echo off
dir /b /a-d >testtt.txt
echo List of files is:
type testtt.txt

i suppose you are taking about dir /a-d ? check out dir /? .. it explains...

Code: [Select]


  /A          Displays files with specified attributes.
  attributes   D  Directories                R  Read-only files
               H  Hidden files               A  Files ready for archiving
               S  System files               -  Prefix meaning not

"-" meaning not... so /a-d means display files, not directories...
