doubt regarding executing or writing a batch file globally for all modules.

[muthamilans]

Hi friend's,
  I am trying to automate a simple batch file command

line 1: cd cap
line 2: move ..\input\*_cap.inc ..\cap
line 3: %scad_path%\scad3 -b *_cap.inc

in line 2 is moving a file "name_cap.inc" from input folder to cap
folder.

in line 3 i try to simulate the file that i have moved ... and trying
to execute that file with an exe in an invisible mode but it giving
an error msg that "*_cap.inc contains invalid path".
  if i give the full file name its works.

  i am trying to automate and trying to set the batch file code to
all the modules.

could suggest me in getting the *_cap.inc (name_cap.inc) and running
it with the exe.

Thanks & regds

Hi.
Maybe the scad3 application/executable does not work with wildcards.
If that is the case, try:
for /f "delims=" %%i in ('dir /b *_cap.in') do start "" /wait
"%scad_path%\scad3" -b %%i

Parag P. Doke

Dear Parag P. Doke
  I just need to store the "name_cap.inc" from the folder cap and
have to display the name full name right there near

line 3: %scad_path%\scad3 -b name_cap.inc (insted of *_cap.inc)

  how to get the name store the fullname of the file *_cap.inc in
that folder cap folder.

  Actually if i put the full name right there near "scad3 -b" its
working.
 
Thanks & regds

Untested, based upon Parag's code:

@echo off
pushd "..\cap"
for /f "delims=" %%a in ('dir /b *_cap.inc') do (
start "" /wait "%scad_path%\scad3" -b "%%a")
popd

Hi friend,
    Thanks friend the code,it is working fine .But i am not able to
understand its working.
    The file is executing well at the same time i am getting that
error command also.
    i asking this since i have to configure this batch file in more
than 100 modules, at the same time i have to convert it to shell
command in linux.

thanks & Regds

Which error message?

The line above makes the current directory the ..\cap folder

>> for /f "delims=" %%a in ('dir /b *_cap.inc') do (
>> start "" /wait "%scad_path%\scad3" -b "%%a")

The line above creates a list from the output of the command "dir /b *_cap.inc"
Execute that command at the prompt in the correct folder to see what the list
looks like.

It then executes your "scad3 -b %%a" command and for every line of the list it
replaces %%a with the line.

The start command is used here but may not be necessary - try omitting the
start "" /wait portion.  If scad3 is a multithreaded command then it would try
to execute the commands at the same time, which is when the start command is
useful.

>> popd

Popd returns you to the folder you started in.

Hi Friend,
   Thanks for your explanation. i am able to understand clearly now.
And the Error Message coming while executing is "*_cap.inc contains a
invalid path".

Can able to remove the error message.

Thanks & Regds

I can't see where that error would creep in muthamilans.
