    Batch file for comparing strings

    Locked

    by zendainc · about 16 years ago

    Hi I am currently trying to create a batch file to read text from a file, display it on the screen updating it every 2 seconds and beep if it finds something new, I have been able to get it to do everything except compare strings and google has yielded no results. So far in order to read and display the data I have the following


    @echo     off
    color f9
    title Service Desk – Significant Incident Feed
    :start
    cls
    echo.
    echo.
    echo Significant Incidents currently open as of
    echo.
    date /t
    time /t
    echo.
    echo.
    echo.
    echo.
    type “text.txt”
    Ping.exe localhost -n 2 >NUL
    echo.
    echo.

    GOTO start

    pause

    Could anyone advise how I might be able to make it write the input to a string, compare the strings then beep if they do not match.
