Thank you for this wonderful tip. For loop incremeters in Batch Script used to be the toughest challenge for me and I used to use a lot of GOTO labels in my scripts earlier. This solves my problem like a Charm!
Thanks once again!

faultDetail=”NetConnection.Call.Failed: HTTP: Failed”]

I can’t believe no one can figure this out. I don’t think it has to do with a server. I have been accessing a new program for my job. It worked fine for a while. I update something and it stopped working resulting in the above code. What is odd is I have three user profiles on my computer. The program works fine when I access it from the other two user profiles. It does not work when I try to access it from mine.Something has changed on my profile. I can’t figure out for the life of me what has changed. I am using explorer 9 and the latest Adobe. I have tried uninstalling and re instalin both Explorer and Adobe. Nothing works.

Comment on Redirecting Output to a File in Windows Batch Scripts by Adrian

Adrian — Tue, 01 May 2012 18:28:06 +0000

I needed ro run the s script as a batch job, and wanted the ourput and errors, but did not want to redirect ecerything either, so I created a wrapper script, which allowed all output to go to the file, when required.

@ECHO OFF
REM==============================================================
REM XXX_SYSTARTUP.CMD
REM
SET mydir=%~DP0
IF NOT EXIST %mydir%xxx_systartup_win.cmd GOTO :bad_exit
%mydir%xxx_systartup_win > %mydir%xxx_systartup_win.log 2>&1
REM
REM N.B. The called script never returns
REM
:bad_exit
ECHO xxx_systartup.cmd – System Startup Failed >> %mydir%xxx_systartup_win.log
EXIT /B 2

This post was very helpful…
i want to learn batch scripting so i volunteered to create a simple monitoring script here…
i was stuck at this problem for three days..
i did use setLocal EnableDelayedExpansion, but still cannot echo the variable that i want to display..
so the key was using “!” instead of “%” while inside the FOR loop.

Thanks again!

Dianna,

I have attempted to recreate your problem but it has worked every time for me. What I would like to alert you of, is that you needn’t use ‘type’ . You can just use (filename.txt) and it will do the same thing. This may help in your situation.

I am new at window’s scripting and have a question.
I have a file called temp_file that has the following 3 lines
A
B
C

FOR /f %%i in (%temp_file%) DO echo %%i

It correctly shows
A
B
C

But when I try executing

FOR /f %%i in (‘type %temp_file%’) DO (@call cycle.bat %%i)

it only executes cycle.bat once and passes A as a parameter, instead of looping 3 times.
Any help is appreciated.

Thank you. Many attempts to shrink the log file in SQL 2005 did not work and I Googled it in the end and found your solution which worked perfectly.

Tony, I’m not sure but I don’t think Windows provides that kind of encapsulation of the output.

This is because the plain date command echoes the date in a format that is not file-friendly, such as “Wed 02/08/2012″. When I’m generating a filename based on date, I do something like this:

%date:~10,4%-%date:~4,2%-%date:~7,2%-%date:~0,3%

Which would generate something comparable to this: “2012-02-08-Wed” which is friendly for a filename.

Hope this helps.

What I’m trying to do is very similar but I want to use commandline variable to name the file. What I’m trying to do is something like:

chkdsk h: > %date%.txt

But this doesn’t work

Any Ideas??

I spent a lot of time today trying to figure out why Flex Remoting was not working. These instructions are old hat and normal stuff for us but we just could not get it working. So, I took a dive into the cfusion-event.log and cfusion-out.log files and found the problem. Somehow an extra node was added to the properties node in the services-config.xml file. The log files pointed me right to it. So, for anyone else who is scratching their head wondering why it aint working, take a good look at those log files. The easiest way to is stop CF, move all the log files (jrun4\logs for enterprise version) somewhere else. Start CF and it will re create the files. Now open up the log files looking for errors. In my case, this was the error, clear as day
javax.servlet.ServletException: Unrecognized tag found in . Please consult the documentation to determine if the tag is invalid or belongs inside of a different tag:
‘/instantiate-types’ in channel with id: ‘my-cfamf-secure’ from file: services-config.xml
I removed that node from the xml file, restarted CF and all was golden. So, don’t forget your log files..
