hey all,
I'm writing a loop to do sereval tasks.
I help support over 1000 tills and Pc's. they sometimes have errors in which I need to rebuild 'POS' folders to get the till program to run.
This envoles
1, copying the enitia contents of a dir to a remote machine's c:\pos folder. (no problem there)
2, removing a few files from known loactions (no problem there)
(this is the tricky bit)
these POS folders have files called pos1.sts, pos1.err, pos1.tcf and pos1.cfg inside. The problem is they have these files for every till. ie, pos2, pos3, pos4, ect.....
I need to remove all .sts, .err, .tcf and .cfg files but the ones not affilated with the till in question (ie, on till 1 i'd need to remove all pos2.*, pos3.* ect...)
I could do this by makeing the user enter the till number, use that as a lable and for each lable do whats required for the till.
But i'd really like to just have one loop with values set for the different tills.
example;
goto %1 rem %1 being the till number you wish to run it for.
:till1
set /a till=pos1
set /a ip=%2.12 rem %2 being the stores network address
goto loop
:till2
set /a till=pos2
set /a ip=%2.13
goto loop
:loop
net use \\%2.11
copy \\%2.11\c$\master.pos\*.* c:\pos\*.*
del c:\%till%.lck
del c:\pos\%till%.sts
del c:\pos\%till%.err
This is the bit i'm unsure of. - i'd like to remove all pos*.sts, .err, .tcf, .cfg files but ones that start %till%.
goto fin
:fin
echo. Pos rebuild Complete
exit
any ideas??
