Subj : Batch File... To : All From : Shurato Date : Wed Oct 23 2024 11:42:00 What's wrong with this batch file? It only appears to grab the first directory, instead of all subdirs. Sometimes it doesn't even do that.. f for %%i in (*.) DO ( cd %%i del shortlist.bbs for %%j in (*.zip) DO ( pkunzip -o %%j file_id.diz %temp% set /p output=<%temp%\file_id.diz echo %%j %output%>>shortlist.bbs ) cd .. ) I'm sure I missed something obvious, but I can't figure it out. Can I not nest for do loops? This is to grab the first line of file_id.diz files, put the filename a few spaces, then the description into a file for my ftp server to display descriptions. pkunzip and set are working. It's not looping though. -- Shurato, Sysop Shurato's Heavenly Sphere (ssh, telnet, pop3, ftp,nntp, ,wss) (Ports 22,23,110,21,119,8080) (ssh login 'bbs' pass 'shsbbs'). *** THE READER V4.50 [freeware] --- * Origin: Shurato's Heavenly Sphere telnet://shsbbs.net (618:300/50) .
