windows batch programming

Hi all,

I want to write a batch file that will sequentially call many batch files, each of which run the same application (a simulator instance). So after each of the child batch files is called, after a predetermined time, I want to close the simulator instance.

I tried this:

Code:

start ips32.exe recieveInvite.cfg

sleep 60

taskkill /IM ips32.exe

But my application fails to run, as it takes the start parameter to be recieveInvite.cfgsleep, which obviously does not exist.

So how do I specify separate commands in my batch file?

Thanks,

Sandip

 

Where are the files ips32.exe and recieveInvite.cfg placed? Try to write the full path.

 

Hi,

The problem was solved..i just created another batch file and called in from a 'master' batch file.

ips32.exe is present in C:\tools\IPSL\blah..

On a related note, I have a collection of folders A,B,C.. in \home, each of which contain a batch file that runs the same application. In \home, I have a 'master' batch file that sequentially calls the batch file in each of the folders (present in its current dir \home).

I tried using this:

Code:

for /d %%case in {\Folder_path} do (
cd %%case
call something.bat
)

But it doesn't work and something.bat file is not called.

Any suggestions on how to go about it?

Thanks.

 

The variable must be a single letter and don't use braces.
You could try something like this:

Code:

for /d %%i in ("c:\whatever\Folder_path\*") do call "%%i\something.bat"

 

Thanks GermanOne!! It works.
