Sorry to ask. I have your email address through your ex-student. I asked them about the DOS and we finally stuck and they asked me to ask you about this. I need some advice in this script which I wished I don?t cause you any inconvenience.
I?m currently writing some simple script in DOS. My only concern is that the input part. I want the input is automatically inserted. Users don?t have to key in the data.
As an example:
(This is the script to check whether the folder is empty)
@echo off
Setlocal
if {%1}=={ } set _empty=Syntax : empty.cmd ?C:\Folder to check? & GOTO: message
:: check whether the folder is exist
IF NOT EXIST %1 set _empty=No Such Folder & GOTO: message
:: check whether the folder is empty
Dir %1 /b | find /v ?0471391E-c911-11D9-8BDE-F66BFD1E3F3A? >NUL && (set _empty=Not Empty) || (set _empty=Empty)
:message
echo %_empty%
endlocal & set _empty=%_empty%
If I?m not mistaken, the %1 sign required user to enter the value. I?m stuck. What I want is that the program received the input from the set of folder in the C:\ automatically.
Let say,
@echo off
cd C:\?Documents and Settings?\nanoar
dir C:\?Documents and Settings?\nanoar\* /a:d /b >>dir-list.txt
FOR /f %%l IN (dir-list.txt) DO set file=?%%1? & CALL : empty >>log2.txt
:empty
Dir %file% /b | find /v ?0471391E-c911-11D9-8BDE-F66BFD1E3F3A? >NUL && (set _empty=Not Empty) || (set _empty=Empty)
But, this is program is full of errors. What I want is that the :empty will check the folder which is listed in the dir-list.txt whether the folder is empty or not. Is there anything I missed?
Please help me. Thanks you very much.
Hamala.
