combine actions in a batch script
Posted on 2014-01-24
Greetings experts!! I have two actions that I would like a batch file to perform. The first action is delete the value "oldserver" out of the HKCU>Printers>Settings and then delete out "oldserver" from HKCU>Printers>Connections.
I am using this script and wanted to build off of it accordingly (a product of an EE expert):
I tried to add this:
for /f "tokens=*" %%A in ('reg query "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Printer
reg delete "%%~A" /f
but couldn't get it to work. Please help combine these two actions into a single batch script. Thanks experts!

Try this:
for /f "tokens=1" %%A in ('reg query "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Printers\Settings" ^| find /i "\\%Server%\"') do (
echo reg delete "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Printers\Settings" /v "%%~A" /f
)

BP, how do I combine the "settings" and "connections" variables? You have "settings" listed twice.

Full script would look like this. In one case you are deleting just one value (from settings) in the other case you are deleting the whole key (connections).
@echo off
setlocal
set Server=oldserver
for /f "tokens=1" %%A in ('reg query "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Printers\Settings" ^| find /i "\\%Server%\"') do (
reg delete "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Printers\Settings" /v "%%~A" /f
)
for /f "tokens=*" %%A in ('reg query "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Printers\Connections" ^| find /i ",%Server%,"') do (
reg delete "%%~A" /f
)
