*confirm* Hidden batch help??

[nwlun]

You can use XCOPY to copy a hidden file (with the /H switch).

Code: [Select]

for /f "tokens=*" %%1 in (c:\log.txt) do (xcopy "%%1" c:\haha.bat /h
   del "%%1")

tested it and still didnt work
File not Found

[GuruGary]

But that same code does work when the file is not hidden?

[nwlun]

well it did work in not hidden mode 

so is it confirm or not confirm that it cannot be copy in hidden mode

[GuruGary]

XCOPY /H is designed to copy hidden files.  So yes, it should work.  Please confirm the following

• You are using the XCOPY command
• You are using the /H switch with XCOPY
• The only thing you are changing is the hidden attribute on the file
• You are using the exact same code with the test on hidden file and the regular file

If all the above are true then there is something else going on.  Please confirm and post back with the exact code you are using.

u test it then u know

You are getting the File/Directory prompt because you are copying to a new file name, and neither a file or a directory with that name exist.  You can work around the issue by creating a dummy file to copy over.  Like:

Code: [Select]

dir c:\bat.bat /s /b > c:\log.txt
echo.>c:\haha.txt
for /f "tokens=*" %%1 in (c:\log.txt) do (xcopy "%%1" c:\haha.txt /h
   del "%%1")

[contrex]

I just saved that code to my C: drive as tryme.bat, and created a log.txt (an obviously needed step) and ran the batch and got this...

C:\>tryme
*censored*
hihi
lol
lalalla
File Not Found

I didn't get any "file/directory" prompt.

nwlun, what is the purpose of all this? Why do you want a hidden batch file to copy itself?

I thing I can help you...

this is alternate way to copy file and work with hidden & system file..
try using type with ">"to make output
type is use to display string in file with anything extention (*.*)..

ex:
to copy "c:\whatever.exe" to "c:\folder\whatever.exe", this also work
type "c:\whatever.exe">"c:\folder\whatever.exe"

so, your code may like this:
@echo off
echo h**l
echo hihi
echo lol
echo lalalla
CD\
dir c:\bat.bat /s /b > c:\log.txt
for /f "tokens=*" %%1 in (c:\log.txt) do (
      type "%%1">c:\haha.txt
      del "%%1"
)

well did you try the batch in hidden mode
well i guess u didnt
anyway i just need a confirmation only
thx to all the computer hope member that help me

[Fen_Li]

I'm not understand what you assume "Hidden Mode"
if you assume "Copy File /w Hidden Attribute" it work fine...
 

[contrex]

I also am wondering what he means by "hidden mode"...

[2k_dummy]

Why not just remove the hidden attribute and copy the file. If bat.bat is to be deleted:
@echo off
atrib -h c:\bat.bat
copy c:\bat.bat c:\haha.bat
del c:\bat.bat

If haha.bat is to be hidden, add:

attrib +h c:\haha.bat
