I want to create a batch file the creates a Folder called= Themes & MODS
Batch Files

I am trying to create a batch file to copy loads of files to a specific Folder that will be named

Themes & MODS 

When I run the batch file it does not seem to recognize the Syntax> Themes & MODS and says an error trying to create the file?

The structure I'm using is very simple PLEASE SEE BELOW...

:BEGIN
@ECHO OFF
ECHO. **************************************
ECHO. **    PSPWillys PSP Custom waves 2009             *   
ECHO. ** For XMBeditor v2 Running CFW 3.90m33-2      *   
ECHO. **************************************
ECHO.
ECHO.
ECHO.
ECHO.
ECHO.
Md  F:\Themes&Mods\Mods\system_plugin_bg
Md  F:\Themes&Mods\Mods\system_plugin_bg\Allsort
Copy Allsort\Preview.Jpg   F:\Themes&mods\mods\system_plugin_bg\Allsort

This is just a sample of the batch code I'm writing...Is the problem with the "&" syntax?

If it is can someone point me in the right direction

The & is telling the command line parser that a new command is beginning. Thus your sytax is not going to work.

The easiest solution would be to rename rhw offending folder to something friendlier to the batch file syntax.

Creating User Defined Folders using DOS
Batch Files

Hi there,

 

I was wondering if anyone had any code for a user to run a bat file and then have to enter a folder name to be created.

 I have seen several peices of code but nothing really stood out to me, I am a novice in DOS.

Any Help would be fantastic

Thank you

andrew

Batch Files

This was mentioned earlier, but not explained. If you execute another application from a batch file it will halt since it then waits for input from this application. To just start it and move on use the prefix "start".

Anser feedbacker
Batch Files

hey,

there are two ways to fix your problem:

1.) Add anouther line to the script  and type "pause" without the air quotes.

2.) Copy the BAT script to C:\WINDOWS\system32 , hit start , hit run , type cmd and hit enter , then enter the name of your BAT (e.G. Something.Bat) then it should run properly but it will still flash away if you don't start it in cmd.

that should help.

Here are 2 files that I JUST made for you.

The 1st is a program that asks for a folder name to make, and will make it in the directory specified within the batch file.  I highlighted it so you can change the path. Make sure to change them ALL to the SAME EXACT PATH.

 

@echo off
Title .::FOLDER CREATOR by Dan Wager::.
Color A
:top
Cls
Echo Folder name to be created?
Set /p folder=""
If exist C:\"%folder%" goto alreadyExist
Cls
Echo Make folder "%folder%" in C:\?
Set /p choice=""
If "%choice%"=="y" goto execute  ::"y" or ENTER will Execute command
If "%choice%"=="" goto execute
If "%choice%"=="and" goto top      ::"and" will NOT execute command
Goto top
:execute
Md c:\"%folder%"
If exist C:\"%folder%" goto again
Cls
Echo Folder Creation Failed...
Echo Try Again?
Set /p bad=
If "%bad%"=="y" goto top  ::anything other than "y" or ENTER will exit
If "%bad%"=="" goto top
Cls
Echo Press ENTER to Exit
Pause >nul
Exit

:again
Cls
Echo Folder Created Successfully
Echo Make Another Folder?
Set /p another=
If "%another%"=="y" goto top  ::anything other than "y" or ENTER will exit
If "%another%"=="" goto top
Cls
Echo Press ENTER to Exit
Pause >nul
Exit

:alreadyExist
Cls
Echo Folder Already Exists
Echo Press ENTER to Choose a Different Name
Pause >nul
Goto top

_________________________________________________________

The second is a program that asks for both the folder name and path that you want to make.  When entering the path name, do NOT put a back slash at the end of the path (\) or else it wont work.

 

@echo off

If "%choice%"=="" goto execute
If "%choice%"=="and" goto top      ::"and" will NOT execute command
Goto top

:alreadyExist

Echo Press ENTER to Choose Again
Pause >nul
Goto top

 

HOPE THIS HELPS!!
