[solved] Create 100 files in a folder

[Esgrimidor]

Create 100 files in a folder

I need create 100 files in a folder.
The bat may ask the path of the folder. Create if not exists. Proposing the last one used.

The files to create have this structure : prefix.800.bat , where 800 take values from 800 to 899 .

The bat may ask the prefix. By example : pepe

The content of the bat files is slightly different

The general content is :

echo off
taskkill.exe /im gmw5.exe /f
Y:\GoldminePrg\gmw5.exe /i:esm /u:JOSE /p: /m:Y:\GoldminePrg\Macros\prefix.800
exit


Where prefix = pepe
and 800 goes from 800 to 899 corresponding to the name of the bat

That is : pepe.800.bat -> pepe.800

....................................... ................
              pepe.899.bat -> pepe.899

******************************

The bat procedure :

1. Ask for the path where the 100 files will be.
2. Ask for the prefix
3. Generate the 100 files....


thanksssxxx

empty files?
what do you want the files to contain?

[BatchFileBasics]

so, are you asking to create files
pre.800 - pre.899?

no .bat ext?

Code: [Select]

@echo off
:begin
set pth=
echo.
set /p pth=Path of folder:
if not exist "%pth%" (
mkdir "%pth%"
goto :PRE
)
echo.
echo ERROR: Folder exists
goto :begin
:PRE
set /p pr=Prefix for files:
echo.
echo IF THE PREFIX CONTAINS INVALID CHARACTERS, FILES WOULD NOT BE CREATED.
pause
cd "%pth%"
for /l %%a in (800,1,899) do (
echo @echo off>%pr%.%%a
echo taskkill.exe /im gmw5.exe /f>>%pr%.%%a
echo Y:\GoldminePrg\gmw5.exe /i:esm /u:JOSE /p: /m:Y:\GoldminePrg\Macros\%pr%.%%a >>%pr%.%%a
echo exit>>%pr%.%%a
)

empty files?
what do you want the files to contain?

"The files to create have this structure : prefix.800.bat , where 800 take values from 800 to 899 ."

So are bat files.


By example : pepe.800.bat have this content :

echo off
taskkill.exe /im gmw5.exe /f
Y:\GoldminePrg\gmw5.exe /i:esm /u:JOSE /p: /m:Y:\GoldminePrg\Macros\pepe.800
exit

and pepe.801.bat have this :

echo off
taskkill.exe /im gmw5.exe /f
Y:\GoldminePrg\gmw5.exe /i:esm /u:JOSE /p: /m:Y:\GoldminePrg\Macros\pepe.801
exit

and so on to the value 899 .

"so, are you asking to create files
pre.800 - pre.899?

no .bat ext?"

extension .bat


*********
I try again :

I need generate 100 bat files

prefix.800.bat to prefix.899.bat where prefix is a variable. By example prefix=pepe

Each bat file have a similar content, only vary the archive prefix.800 where 800 vary from 800 to 899.

prefix is a variable. By example prefix=pepe


by example :
The file pepe.850.bat have this content :

echo off
taskkill.exe /im gmw5.exe /f
Y:\GoldminePrg\gmw5.exe /i:esm /u:JOSE /p: /m:Y:\GoldminePrg\Macros\pepe.850
exit

I try again :

 

[BatchFileBasics]

ok, sorry, the

Where prefix = pepe
and 800 goes from 800 to 899 corresponding to the name of the bat

That is : pepe.800.bat -> pepe.800

....................................... ................
              pepe.899.bat -> pepe.899

so let me do this again 

Code: [Select]

@echo off
:begin
set pth=
echo.
set /p pth=Path of folder:
if not exist "%pth%" (
mkdir "%pth%"
goto :PRE
)
echo.
echo ERROR: Folder exists
goto :begin
:PRE
set /p pr=Prefix for files:
echo.
echo IF THE PREFIX CONTAINS INVALID CHARACTERS, FILES WOULD NOT BE CREATED.
pause
cd "%pth%"
for /l %%a in (800,1,899) do (
echo @echo off>%pr%.%%a.bat
echo taskkill.exe /im gmw5.exe /f>>%pr%.%%a.bat
echo Y:\GoldminePrg\gmw5.exe /i:esm /u:JOSE /p: /m:Y:\GoldminePrg\Macros\%pr%.%%a.bat >>%pr%.%%a.bat
echo exit>>%pr%.%%a.bat
)

I try the script.

I think is going well. Now comment.

[Esgrimidor]

I comment on the first one :

I can't paste in the command window the path I want .

It's possible prepare this ?

I try the second.
 

[Esgrimidor]

You are quite right. I only try to reproduce a script.

[BatchFileBasics]

are you pressing ctrl + v? because that does not work.

right click the window > paste.

or you can just type it in manually

[Esgrimidor]

Okis.


The files are created in the present folder not in the folder indicated.

I try with Y:\prueba , but the files were written in the dektop folder in :

M:\Documents and Settings\JOSE\Escritorio\

[BatchFileBasics]

oh my, i should of fixed that, 

Code: [Select]

@echo off
:begin
set pth=
echo.
set /p pth=Path of folder:
if not exist "%pth%" (
mkdir "%pth%"
goto :PRE
)
echo.
echo ERROR: Folder exists
goto :begin
:PRE
set /p pr=Prefix for files:
echo.
echo IF THE PREFIX CONTAINS INVALID CHARACTERS, FILES WOULD NOT BE CREATED.
pause
cd /d "%pth%"
for /l %%a in (800,1,899) do (
echo @echo off>%pr%.%%a.bat
echo taskkill.exe /im gmw5.exe /f>>%pr%.%%a.bat
echo Y:\GoldminePrg\gmw5.exe /i:esm /u:JOSE /p: /m:Y:\GoldminePrg\Macros\%pr%.%%a.bat >>%pr%.%%a.bat
echo exit>>%pr%.%%a.bat
)

I'm trying to understand why multiple batch files are even necessary.

[Esgrimidor]

oh my, i should of fixed that, 

Code: [Select]

@echo off
:begin
set pth=
echo.
set /p pth=Path of folder:
if not exist "%pth%" (
mkdir "%pth%"
goto :PRE
)
echo.
echo ERROR: Folder exists
goto :begin
:PRE
set /p pr=Prefix for files:
echo.
echo IF THE PREFIX CONTAINS INVALID CHARACTERS, FILES WOULD NOT BE CREATED.
pause
cd /d "%pth%"
for /l %%a in (800,1,899) do (
echo @echo off>%pr%.%%a.bat
echo taskkill.exe /im gmw5.exe /f>>%pr%.%%a.bat
echo Y:\GoldminePrg\gmw5.exe /i:esm /u:JOSE /p: /m:Y:\GoldminePrg\Macros\%pr%.%%a.bat >>%pr%.%%a.bat
echo exit>>%pr%.%%a.bat
)

Inside each bat file created I observed you put the extension bat to the files inside. And ther is not extension there.


That's :

pepe.850.bat

have the content :

echo off
taskkill.exe /im gmw5.exe /f
Y:\GoldminePrg\gmw5.exe /i:esm /u:JOSE /p: /m:Y:\GoldminePrg\Macros\pepe.850
exit

In this case don't have the extension bat inside........

[BatchFileBasics]

Esgrimidor, what do you need 100 batch files for anyways? 1 file, about 10 lines, and a good for loop can probably do what all these files would do..

and really, this is confusing me,
here you go

Code: [Select]

@echo off
:begin
set pth=
echo.
set /p pth=Path of folder:
if not exist "%pth%" (
mkdir "%pth%"
goto :PRE
)
echo.
echo ERROR: Folder exists
goto :begin
:PRE
set /p pr=Prefix for files:
echo.
echo IF THE PREFIX CONTAINS INVALID CHARACTERS, FILES WOULD NOT BE CREATED.
pause
cd /d "%pth%"
for /l %%a in (800,1,899) do (
echo @echo off>%pr%.%%a.bat
echo taskkill.exe /im gmw5.exe /f>>%pr%.%%a.bat
echo Y:\GoldminePrg\gmw5.exe /i:esm /u:JOSE /p: /m:Y:\GoldminePrg\Macros\%pr%.%%a >>%pr%.%%a.bat
echo exit>>%pr%.%%a.bat
)
