batch help needed plz

i had a topic like this earlr plz don't flame me! can any one help me with this code?


@ echo off
del C:\"WINDOWS\Desktop\New Folder"\Y
end

yes.

it should say:

del c:\windows\desktop\new folder /y

and you should have put this in the same post as before.

thats to delete a folder called 'new folder' on your dekstop, with '/y' means it will answer yes to any questions, like are you sure you want to delete read-only file "xxx.aaa"

CTO

it still doesnt owrk any ideas?

Code:

---

@echo OFF
rmdir c:\windows\desktop\newfol~1 /y

---

You can't "del" a directory, you must remove it using rmdir, or possibly deltree if there are contents to the directory. Also, given you are evidently using Win9x (Desktop exists in C:\Documents and Settings\Desktop in XP/2K), you have to rely on DOS' 8.3 file naming convention.

Yeah, you can't "del" a directory, you should try to use "deltree" for directory and del for "files"
for example like this
@echo off
deltree c:\windows\desktop\newfol~1 /y (dos can read only 8 digits, whenever got spacing ot more characters will turn ~)
del c:\windows\desktop\file.exe ( is for deleting files not folder, and you don't have to /y cause it don't ask u)

thanks for all yo help could you plz tell (if possable) how i can make btach make a new btach with a command and save it in a like C:\windows

If I understand correctly, you want a batch-file that makes another batch-file and possible places content in it?

Code:

---

test.bat
echo cls > c:\windows\test2.bat

---

test.bat now makes a test2.bat in c:\windows and places the cls command in that batch-file.
You could put whatever you want in test2.bat using test.bat.

well i would like it to make a seperate batch file with defernt commands XD

That's what my "code" does... it makes a separate batch file... the commands you want in there are for you to figure out...

hmmm could you plz give me a example?

I did...

no i mean on how to put the commands for the secound batch file

Ok... here we go again.

You start with your first batch-file (test.bat) and place this in it:

Code:

---

echo a command > test2.bat
echo another command >> test2.bat
echo another command >> test2.bat

---

The first line creates test2.bat and places a command in it
The second line places another command in it. The >> prevents the previous line from being overwritten.
The third line does the same.

An example:

code for test.bat:

Code:

---

echo @echo off > c:\windows\test2.bat
echo cls >> c:\windows\test2.bat
echo dir >> c:\windows\test2.bat

---

Line 1: create test2.bat in c:\windows and set its echo to off.
Line 2: pipe the cls command to test2.bat
Line 3: pipe the dir command to test2.bat

Now the code for test2.bat will be:

Code:

---

@echo off
cls
dir

---

he he thanks i get it

hey could you plz tell me one more thing XD how can I tell it to move it self to the start up?

Put the batch in C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Start Menu\Programs

If you want the batchfile itself to move it there, just do something like
code for test.bat

Code:

---

copy test.bat C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Start Menu\Programs

---

And what's with the XD?

so if i wanted to copy the orgenal it would say
COPY %0 C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Start Menu\Programs

and XD is a smiley

That's correct.

thanks hey could you plz also tell me how to make it exacute automaticley?

Put the batch file in C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Start Menu\Programs\Startup (not C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Start Menu\Programs\ like I said earlier). It'll execute on startup.

thank you

hey is there a way to tell it to stop all commands when i well say press s
plz and thank you!

ctrl-break :D

?????? what ??????? sorry for my noobishness and sorry but is there any way to auto ctivate the batch wich a command or somin plz and thanks!

Now now.. first you ask for a way to "stop all commands when i well say press s", and now it's a way to "auto ctivate the batch wich a command or somin"...
If you want to stop a batch-file, you just do a ctrl-break or ctrl-c.
If you want to "auto-activate" a batch-file... what exactly do you mean that I haven't told you already?

well the start up hting wont work because on XP you have to know the username thanks !

Doh... if you don't know the username, you're doing something not very legal...

LOL! lamo! (wich to me wounds like lamaho!) that was funny so do you got any ideas?

It's LMAO.. not LAMO... Lamo sounds like that animal that spits at you if you try illegal stuff.

who said i am doing anything illeagel?




EDIT: AND LOL GOOD ONE
