Question

GOTO was unexpected at this time.

Asked by: keerwen

I am working on a batch file to run a program from the local servers on each subnet. The base of the code was copied directly from another question here on Experts. The code itself does not want to run one it gets to the goto command. Heres a copy of my code If REM the first two lines and un REM the next two i will get errors on those either a syntax error or unexpected | error. Any help would be great.

IPCONFIG |FIND "IP" >TEMPIP.tmp

set IP=%% iecho %IP% >> c:tempip.tmp

REM for /f "tokens=2 delims=:" %%i in ('ipconfig /all ^| find "IP Address"') do set GetIP=%%d

REM do set IP=%% iecho %IP% >> c:tempip.tmp
for /f "tokens=3 delims=." %%j in (c:\tempip.tmp) do set SUBNET=%%j

if %SUBNEt%==10 goto 10subnet
if %SUBNET%==12 goto 12subnet
if %SUBNET%==14 goto 14subnet
if %SUBNET%==16 goto 16SUBNET
if %SUBNET%==11 goto 11subnet
if %SUBNET%==15 goto 15subnet
goto ALL_USERS

:16SUBNET
"\\sn1-100835\Apps Installs\Engineering\AutoCAD\Patches\AutoDesk Land Desktop 2008\ldc2008_sp2.exe"

your labels cannot begin with numeric characters ... try adding an _ to the front-end:

:_16SUBNET

... goto _16SUBNET

Sorry but that didn't do it. Same error of got was unexpected at this time

hmm ... change your labels to all begin with an Alpha character instead, then post your changes.

From what it looks like is that the subnet is not actually getting set.

Thre script completes but the program never runs. The other item i'm seeing is the iecho is duplicating after each run.

by: knightEknightPosted on 2008-06-04 at 11:51:45ID: 21712884

I was just looking at that too.

by: keerwenPosted on 2008-06-04 at 14:07:18ID: 21714156

Well it is the subnet call it's not retreiving the correct information hence the issue. Now i just need to find the correct commands to set the subnet.

by: keerwenPosted on 2008-06-04 at 14:43:17ID: 21714405

Found a solution The subnet variable was not working correctly. Changing the variable to pull from an echo of the ip address variable fixed the issue.

FOR /F "TOKENS=2* DELIMS=:" %%A IN ('IPCONFIG /ALL ^| FIND "IP Address"') DO FOR %%B IN (%%A) DO SET IPADDR=%%B
ECHO IP address: %IPADDR%

for /f "TOKENS=3* DELIMS=." %%j in (echo %IPADDR%) do set subnet=%%k
echo SUBNET IS: %subnet%

if %SUBNEt%==10 goto mchenry
if %SUBNET%==12 goto yorkville

Hmmmm the batch file isn't working now. The subnet is not being set correctly. Tho yesterday it had no problems running at all.

by: sirbountyPosted on 2008-06-05 at 20:43:52ID: 21726056

Try changing this line
for /f "TOKENS=3* DELIMS=." %%j in (echo %IPADDR%) do set subnet=%%k
to read
for /f "TOKENS=3* DELIMS=." %%j in ("%IPADDR%") do set subnet=%%k

Additionally, alter this section:

if [%SUBNEt%]==[10] goto mchenry
if [%SUBNET%]==[12] goto yorkville
if [%SUBNET%]==[14] goto austin
if [%SUBNET%]==[16] goto newlenox
if [%SUBNET%]==[11] goto Chicago
if [%SUBNET%]==[15] goto atlanta
goto All_Users

Well IMO that still doesn't work, though only in that it picks up the last octet (host) rather than the others. What I would do I think is this:

Steve

@echo off
REM Pickup IP address.  Is last address showing in IPCONFIG if more than one.  If you want the first remove the REM below 
FOR /F "TOKENS=2* DELIMS=:" %%A IN ('IPCONFIG /ALL ^| FIND "IP Address"') DO SET IPADDR=%%A & REM goto next
:next
ECHO IP address is now set to: %IPADDR%
 
REM  Split this up into the four octets.
for /f "TOKENS=1-4 DELIMS=." %%a in ("%IPADDR%") do set octet1=%%a & set octet2=%%b & set octet3=%%c & set host=%%d
 
REM Display split up IP address
echo Subnet details: %octet1% %octet2% %octet3% %host%
 
REM Choose which octet you call the subnet
set subnet=%octet3%
 
REM Call site label based on the subnet set.
echo calling Site %subnet%
goto Site%subnet%
 
:Site10
  echo At Site %subnet%
goto AllUsers
