AWS & PoweShell - How do I go through a text file from within a script
How can I run Script 2 by it's self? Script 1 is a cmd file, but what do I need to delclare in Script 2 to make it a valid script?
Script 1 pulls out all the snapshots (their ID) for a volume to a text file (snaps.txt)
aws ec2 describe-snapshots --filters Name=volume-id,Values=vol-
Script 2 should go through the text file snaps.txt and tag all the snapshots.
for /F %i in (c:\temp\snaps.txt) do aws ec2 create-tags --resources %i --tags Key=Environment,Value=ABC1
I ran the file snapscript01.cmd to create the list of snapshots in a text file which worked. Awesome. What type of file do I need to run through that output file snaps.txt so it can loop it? I created a cmd and bat with just the command text and it didn't work. No error. I don't want to touch the existing backup script. I want a new script.

Shalomc, thanks for your response. Did I properly give you credit by clicking the thumbs up? Let me ask you, what is the difference between your script and the one line script below that I recently found? I ran the script below with a cmd extension.
for /F %%i in (c:\temp\snapshots.txt) do aws ec2 create-tags --resources %%i --tags Key=Environment,Value=ABC1
for /F %%i in (c:\temp\snapshots.txt) do aws ec2 create-tags --resources %%i --tags Key=Environment,Value=ABC1

Dustin Saunders, it is a text file with one column with snapshot ids such as the examples below?
aaa111
bbb222
ccc333
aaa111
bbb222
ccc333

1. Can we combine these two scripts? They work by themselves, but I can't combine successfully. I want to ideally get the latest snapshot, but any snapshots after 01-01-2018. The current method is grabbing all snapshots which exceed 20,000 and dumps it to a text file, but takes all day to apply the tag. All current snapshots have tags (still running) so I just need to tag most recent or anything after 01-01-2018.
aws ec2 describe-snapshots --filters Name=volume-id,Values=vol-
aws ec2 describe-snapshots --query 'Snapshots[?StartTime >= `2018-01-01`].{id:Snapshot
aws ec2 describe-snapshots --filters Name=volume-id,Values=vol-
aws ec2 describe-snapshots --query 'Snapshots[?StartTime >= `2018-01-01`].{id:Snapshot
Your original script had the wrong number of percent signs :D
I am not sure that I follow your last comment. How do you mean to combine the scripts?
