Batch files are text files containing a script of commands that are executed by the command interpreter on DOS, OS/2 and Windows systems. Most commonly, they are used to perform a series of functions that are repeated -- copying a set of files created daily with one step, for example.

Hi All,

Greetings...

According to my work, I need to zip files present in a folder using batch script without using any 3rd party software.

I tried with below code ,but getting the error.error also attached below.

Any help regarding this would be highly appreciated.

'Get command-line arguments.
Set objArgs = WScript.Arguments
Set FS = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
InputFolder = FS.GetAbsolutePathName(objArgs(0))
ZipFile = FS.GetAbsolutePathName(objArgs(1))

'Create empty ZIP file.
CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject").CreateTextFile(ZipFile, True).Write "PK" & Chr(5) & Chr(6) & String(18, vbNullChar)

Set objShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application")

Set source = objShell.NameSpace(InputFolder).Items

objShell.NameSpace(ZipFile).CopyHere(source)

'Required!
wScript.Sleep 2000

Open in new window

This code is present in zip.vbs file. We have to zip the files into Outputfile.zip file.
in command prompt , I have entered below command

C:\Users\abc>Cscript zip.vbs input path output path\OutputFile.zip

While executing this ,I got below error. " Path not found error" for both the input and output file path.

It will be helpful if anyone corrects me the mistake which I made in this script.

I have thousands of folders that I need to relocate to other folders based on a portion of the folder name. The folders look like this:

M:\Blah Blah\Blahty\Blah Blah\Projects Dept # Added\GG001128 - 4137
M:\Blah Blah\Blahty\Blah Blah\Projects Dept # Added\GG004057 - 4137
M:\Blah Blah\Blahty\Blah Blah\Projects Dept # Added\GG001242 - 7567
M:\Blah Blah\Blahty\Blah Blah\Projects Dept # Added\GG001732 - 4166X
M:\Blah Blah\Blahty\Blah Blah\Projects Dept # Added\GG001944 - 7005X
M:\Blah Blah\Blahty\Blah Blah\Projects Dept # Added\GG001946 - 7005X

Based on the last 4 or 5 characters of the folder name (if 5, will contain a trailing X), I need to relocate the folders to:

M:\Blah Blah\Blahty\Blah Blah\CUMC\4137 - NBD Nobody Has A Clue
M:\Blah Blah\Blahty\Blah Blah\CUMC\4166X - DER Dooby Doo
M:\Blah Blah\Blahty\Blah Blah\CUMC\7567 - AAC Animal Care
M:\Blah Blah\Blahty\Blah Blah\CUMC\7005X - ARK Noah

Spent a couple hours googling to no joy, and have a deadline at work I have to meet, so I'll greatly appreciate any help provided.

Identify if files are downloaded

Hi we have job that copies file to a destination, So is there a way that I can be notified after all the files are downloaded completely ? Is there a feature in SQL, SSIS or Batch script that can identify and send a message or raise a flag once all the files are downloaded.

I need a batch script to create a row in a spread sheet for every document it finds within a folder and all sub folders. The information I would need it to write to each row is (each item is a column) shown below. If the filename ends _Vnnn (where nnn = a number) this number should be extracted and written to a revision number column.

The file name
The file type (e.g.pdf)
The modified date
The file path of the folder (h:\top folder\next folder etc)
Revision Number

Would anyone be kind enough to help me with this please.

Hello,
In the past, I have been able to store a user's username, password and server in "Manage Credentials" under User Accounts in the Control Panel. Then when I run a simple batch file to map the network drives to the server, the batch file completes perfectly.

I have tried exactly the same procedure but the batch file is asking me for user's username.

Why isn't the batch file recognizing the stored Windows credentials and completing the map drives command?

Note: file will be created in a directory with system date and time.
the file name will be like system_date+time(differ_based on the time)+.xml file

Need to run a batch script once

I have a batch file that installs two fonts for all users when they login that I can't get to execute using the reg key:

HKLM Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce

value: cmd.exe
value type: REG_SZ
value data: \\path\to\batch_file.bat

The batch file works fine run on it's own. It's just the sending to all users I'm having an issue with. I also tried the "immediate task" method with no results as well in this article:

How do you run a .exe with a batch file?

Hello -

I am looking to deploy a application within SCCM 2012 and the application is a .exe and vendor says it doesn't have any installers to accommodate any management installation platforms. I'd like to know how I can use a batch file to run exe and silently without any user interaction. I can push out from SCCM and place package in Software Center to be deployed , however there is a popup that needs software license agreement to be checked. I do not want users to have to do this and I want it silently installed. Is there any way to accomplish this with .exe?

Thanks,

2) Change directory to C:\Utility
3) Run a CPAU command
4) close the cmd prompt window when complete

Currently I have a batch file with these commands to get started:

open cmd.exe
cd C:\Utility

but cmd prompt just flashes up for a second and disappears.

Please help with the above commands

Thank you

Hi My Fellow Scripting Peeps whom I admire because you guys know your Sh1t =)

I would like to have a simple script that i can run every time i need to help friends & colleagues
to backup their data before attempting repairs or formatting.

My reason for a progress bar or progress percentage is so that I have more or less an idea
of how long the process will take or how long before it is finished.

oh by the way... This will be my very first run with robocopy but i have used xcopy and xxcopy in the past.

XXCOPY has a dim future and XCOPY is not as robust as robustcopy(robocopy)

I hope i got all the info you need.

I have a user who puts the date he wants me to change the to reflect the update in the file name.

Example: BMS Update 7.21.2017.xlsx

Is there a way to capture this Date in the file name so I can use it in my batch routine? Maybe like store it in a set variable so I can use it in my batch file. Set FileDate=FileDate

I cant use file modify date because the modify date and the date in the file name are different.
