i'm trying to read files and load them all csv files, and once done move the files to some other location :
cd E:\data\
for /f %%a in (’dir /b filename*.CSV) do (
psql -U postgre -W password -c "COPY INTO LA from %%a" zipcodes
mv %%a E:\data\bc\
)
but it gives me following error:
E:\data>for /F %a in (ΓÇÖdir /b filename*.CSV) do (
psql -U postgre -W password-c "COPY INTO LA from %a" zipcodes
mv %a E:\data\bc\
)
The system cannot find the file ΓÇÖdir.
thanks for help
#echo off
setlocal enableextensions disabledelayedexpansion

"%psql%" -U postgre -W password -c "COPY INTO LA from %%~a" zipcodes
move "%%~a" "E:\data\bc\"

for /f is intended for file/string processing. To iterate over a set of files use a simple for
Anyway, the problem in your code are the opening single quote (as Alex K has pointed), the missing closing quote and the non existing mv command in windows that should be move
edited it seems there are problems with file loading. psql copy command indicates it is better to use full path names (with backslashes doubled), so
#echo off
setlocal enableextensions enabledelayedexpansion
set "psql=c:\wherever\psqlIs\psql.exe"
pushd "e:\data" && (
for %%a in ("filename*.CSV") do (
set "file=%%~fa"

move "%%~a" "E:\data\bc\"

I am trying to create a batch file to run start some micro services and database
1 FOR /F "tokens=4 delims= " %%P IN ('netstat -a -n -o ^| findstr :1000') DO #ECHO TaskKill.exe /PID %%P
2 FOR /F "tokens=4 delims= " %%P IN ('netstat -a -n -o ^| findstr :1001') DO #ECHO TaskKill.exe /PID %%P
3 FOR /F "tokens=4 delims= " %%P IN ('netstat -a -n -o ^| findstr :5432') DO #ECHO TaskKill.exe /PID %%P
4 start cd "C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\10\bin\" & pg_ctl.exe -D "c:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\10\data" start
#REM to start service
5 start javaw -jar -Dserver.port=1000 text-annotation-tool-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar
Line 1 to 3 and Line 5 execute correctly when executed by commenting line 4.
Line 4 is to start a Postgres server in a new prompt (beacuse of the Dir change). I think the problem is with the way I have used quotes. The 'start' at the beginning and ending of line 4 serve different purpose.
Also, if I execute line 4 in different prompt, How do I close the prompt after execution (nohup equivalent)
There are two errors: You can't "pass" cd to the start command. And start has the quirk to interpret the first quoted parameter as the new window's title. So start "C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\10\bin\" ... wouldn't work, you need to supply a dummy window title. The & also seems wrong
So you need:
start "Postgres Server" "C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\10\bin\pg_ctl.exe" -D "c:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\10\data" start
As the full path to pg_ctl.exe is supplied, there is no need for a cd.
But if you want to define the default directory for the new process, you have to use the /D parameter:
start "Postgres Server" /D "C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\10\bin" pg_ctl.exe -D "c:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\10\data" start
Unrelated, but: putting the Postgres data directory into c:\Program Files\ is a very bad idea. That directory has special permissions for a purpose. You should use %ProgramData% or %AppData% instead
I made a question last week about getting a batch file or code to delete all .txt files in a folder that were created before the last 60 days and I was directed to use the code below.
forfiles -p "J:\Test_Files" -s -m *.txt* -d 60 -c "cmd /c del #path"
This code does the job and works fine but it goes too slow deleting 250 files per minute. I need to delete a total of 2,600,000 files and this would take too long.
The code I used below deletes 200 files a second but deletes all .txt files
cd /BASE_PATH
del /s *.txt
How can I edit this code to delete files created before 60 days? I need it to delete at a faster pace.
Thank you for helping! :D
You can try with
#echo off
setlocal enableextensions disabledelayedexpansion
rem Configure script
set "target=J:\Test_Files"
set "fileMask=*.txt"
set "age=60"
rem We will use a temporary file.
for %%t in ("%temp%\%~nx0.%random%%random%%random%.tmp") do (
rem Send to temp file the list of matching files retrieved by the robocopy command
>"%%~ft" robocopy "%target%." "%target%." "%fileMask%" /minage:%age% /l /nocopy /is /s /njh /njs /ndl /nc /ns
rem Process temporary file deleting the selected files
for /f "usebackq tokens=*" %%f in ("%%~ft") do echo del "%%~ff"
rem Once done, remove the temporary file
) & del /q "%%~ft"
del commands are only echoed to console. If the output is correct, remove the echo command.
I m using psexec to auto run
get.bat
tasklist | findstr pmill.exe >> dc-01\c$\0001.txt
run_get.bat
psexec #%1 -u administrator -p password -c "C:\get.bat"
pclist.txt
on all PCs on our network,
how can i get the result with PC name instead of only pmill.exe in the text file?
is there anyway i can do from powershell?
I need to get the pc name in result.
Hint plz!
Instead of psexec, try this:
#echo off
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
for /f %%I in (pclist.txt) do (
set /p q="Checking %%I... "<NUL
ping -n 1 -w 500 %%I>NUL 2>NUL
if !errorlevel!==1 (
echo Offline.
) else (
wmic /node:%%I /user:adminuser /password:pass process where name="pmill.exe" get csname 2>NUL | find /i "%%I" >>dc-01\c$\0001.txt
echo Done.
)
)
That'll output %computername% if pmill.exe is running, or nothing otherwise.
Edit:
If you must use psexec then I suggest changing the logic of your for loop that calls psexec, something like this:
#echo off
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
for /f %%I in (pclist.txt) do (
set pc=%%I
set /p q="Checking %%I... "<NUL
ping -n 1 -w 500 %%I>NUL 2>NUL
if !errorlevel!==1 (
echo Offline.
) else (
for /f %%z in ('psexec \\!pc! -u adminuser -p pass tasklist 2^>^&1 ^| findstr /i "pmill.exe"') do (
set /p q="pmill.exe found. "<NUL
echo !pc!>>dc-01\c$\0001.txt
)
echo Done.
)
)
Hi want to exclude 2 or more files from my batch file.
My batch file executes all SQL files in that folder.
Here is the code:
ECHO %USERNAME% started the batch process at %TIME% >output.txt
FOR %%G IN (*.sql) DO (
//IF would go here to skip unwanted files
sqlcmd.exe -S RMSDEV7 -E -d ChaseDataMedia7 -i "%%G" >>output.txt
)
pause
So, how would i add and if statemant to skip the files in the loop that i don't want to execute?
You can chain IFs;
FOR %%G IN (*.sql) DO (
if not %%G==foo.sql if not %%G==bar.sql (
some command "%%G"
)
)
#echo off
setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
set unwantedFiles=foo bar baz
for %%g in (*.sql) do (
set "test=!unwantedFiles:%%~Ng=!"
if "!test!" == "!unwantedFiles!" (
echo %%~Ng.sql is not unwanted, process it:
echo Process with %%g
)
)
Take a name and copy unwantedFiles by removing current name. If the result is the same as before, this name is NOT in unwantedFiles, so process it...
I have a batch file that outputs a list of commands which themselves can be executed at the command line.
Here is a simplified version of what I'm doing:
set %foldername%="c:\my_folder"
set %exename%="c:\my_utility.exe"
cd %foldername%
FOR /F "tokens=*" %%G IN ('dir *.xml /s /b /a:-d') DO #echo %exename% /x="%%G"
This basically outputs a batch file. It looks like this:
c:\my_utility.exe /x="c:\my_folder\file1.xml"
c:\my_utility.exe /x="c:\my_folder\file2.xml"
c:\my_utility.exe /x="c:\my_folder\file3.xml"
c:\my_utility.exe /x="c:\my_folder\file4.xml"
I want to execute these commands. Currently I have to redirect the output to a batch file and then run that. Is there any way to just say "execute this command I just constructed" in the dos prompt?
Just remove echo in the FOR loop:
FOR /F "tokens=*" %%G IN ('dir *.xml /s /b /a:-d') DO %exename% /x="%%G"
