This is what I'm trying to do. I want to look in a file and see if it
has the line "SSL=0". If it already contains that line, then do
nothing. If it doesn't contain that line, then add "SSL=0".
I have 2 batch scripts. The 1st checks for the string SSL=0 in a file.
The 2nd one adds SSL=0 following the string [Application Info].

In the the 1st batch file I set a constant to SSL=0. Then it searches
the file for SSL=0, and if it finds it, it assigns SSL=0 to a
variable.
Then it compares the constant and variable. If they are the same then
it echo's "SSL=0 already exists. If they are different then it runs
the 2nd second batch script which adds the line SSL=0. The problem I
am having is that even when the 2 are equal (SSL=0 == SSL=0), it's not
seeing them as equal.
The batch scripts are below. Thanks for any help.

1st script
@echo OFF

set sslcompare=SSL=0

rem -- seeing if the file has the word SSL=0 in it & putting it in
avariable to test against

Hi

I want to be able to use a user defined variable to then call a
previously set variable based on the value entered by the user. Is
this possible?

e.g I have variables

set IP0 xxx.xx.xx.xxx
set IP1 xxx.xx.xx.xxx
set IP2 xxx.xx.xx.xxx
set IP3 xxx.xx.xx.xxx
set IP4 xxx.xx.xx.xxx

If the user is prompted for a number

set /p NO=Enter Workstation Number: - user enters 4

set TEMP=IP%%NO%% - so this is now IP4

How do I now get it to use variable IP4?

i.e
copy \\%%IP4%%\\logs .........

As if I do copy \\%%temp%%\\logs it goes to IP4 not the IP address.
I can get the IP address into a text file:

Hi,

I have an environment variable that contains a directory with spaces
in it (e.g. C:\Documents And Settings\My Pictures\whaterver. I need to
convert this as follows: C:\Documents\040And\040Settings\My\040Pictures
\whaterver.

I need this for the etc\fstab file.

Can anyone suggest a batch file script that will allow me to do this.

Thank You,
Al

Hi,
I am trying to understand the use of %%date:~6,4%% and %%time:~6,2%% in a ren
command.
What is the meaning of ~6,4, I beleive these are position on a certain
amount of character (?) but without certainty.
I am on XP with regional settings in UK.
Thanks in advance for your help

Good day ladies and gentlemen. I have a quick batch question for you.
I have a number of files in the format
2003B1-Rev-2
2033B1-Rev-3
2066C1-Rev-1

and I would like to truncate the names thus:
2003-Rev-2
2033-Rev-3
2066-Rev-1

I've tried a number of command variations.
My latest being:
ren ??????-Rev-?.pdf ????-Rev-?.pdf

Now I get this:
2003-Rev-v.pdf
2033-Rev-v.pdf
2066-Rev-v.pdf

What is the correct command for this please?

This worked for me yesterday, and now doesn't.... Does anyone have any
idea as to why my variable %%FILE%% remains empty? %%%%f does contain a
file name....

SET TODAY=%%DATE:~4,2%%%%DATE:~7,2%%
FOR /F %%%%f IN ('DIR /B *ERUP*.PGP') DO (
SET FILE=%%%%f
SET FDATE=%%FILE:~6,4%%
IF NOT %%FDATE%%==%%TODAY%% SET MSG=The date of the files do not match.
