Need Batchfile (rename and export)

[KNARZ]

hi

can someone help me to write a short batchfile which:

rename the WindowsXP-KBXXXXX-x86-XXX.exe files

to:

KBXXXXXX.EXE

and than export the files(names) to something like this...

%CMD% %SOURCE%KBXXXXXX.EXE %INT%%PATH%

To explai what the var. means:

SET CMD=START /WAIT

SET INT=/Q -INTEGRATE:

SET SOURCE=H:\UPDATES\

SET PATH=H:\XPCD\

_________

rename WindowsXP-*-x86-XXX.exe KB*.EXE

doesn't work... i thought that should work... but no way...

_________

i want a batch... that rename the files and export it with parameters in the beginning of the file and in the end

similar example;

WindowsXP333.exe

to

WIN333.EXE

and export (text)file:

like this one...

PAR1 WIN333.EXE PAR2

XXX means the KB number and/or language...

This should get you started. It will rename the hotfixes that are in the %SOURCE% directory and output a list to export.txt in your format.

SET CMD=START /WAIT
SET INT=/Q -INTEGRATE:
SET SOURCE=H:\UPDATES\
SET PATH=H:\XPCD\

del export.txt 2>nul

for /f "tokens=1,2 delims=-" %%I in ('dir /b %SOURCE%\windowsxp-kb*.exe') do (
    ren %SOURCE%%%I-%%J*.EXE %%J.EXE
    echo %CMD% %SOURCE%%%J.EXE %INT%%PATH%>>export.txt
)

really thanks...

i had to modified something because of the '(' and ')'

but now:

the renaming works perfect... but exporting not that good...

i modified a little bit more (as i can understand the soruce gg)

to:

DEL EXPORT.TXT 2>NUL

FOR /F "TOKENS=1,2 DELIMS=-" %%I IN ('DIR /B WINDOWSXP-KB*.EXE') DO REN %%I-%%J*.EXE %%J.EXE

ECHO %CMD% %SOURCE%%%J.EXE %INT%%PATH% >> EXPORT.TXT

in exporting.txt the KBXXXX won't be inserted

export.txt put's out (only 1 line):

START /WAIT H:\XXX\%J.EXE /Q -INTEGRATE:H:\XPCD\

The REN and ECHO lines need to be in parenthesis because they are both part of the DO loop. Enclosing lines in parenthesis like that is a way of executing multiple lines of code using commands like IF and DO. An alternative way is to us the '&' character to separate multiple commands like...

FOR /F "TOKENS=1,2 DELIMS=-" %%I IN ('DIR /B WINDOWSXP-KB*.EXE') DO REN %%I-%%J*.EXE %%J.EXE & ECHO %CMD% %SOURCE%%%J.EXE %INT%%PATH% >> EXPORT.TXT

This must all be on one line. This way makes the code harder for someone else to read (if that matters) but it works all the same.

THX =)

now i got it in that way that i wanted

DEL EXPORT.TXT 2>NUL

ECHO SET CMD=START /WAIT >> EXPORT.TXT

ECHO SET PAR=/Q -INTEGRATE: >> EXPORT.TXT

ECHO SET SOURCE=H:\XXX\ >> EXPORT.TXT

ECHO SET TO=H:\XPCD\ >> EXPORT.TXT

ECHO SET START=%%CMD%% %%SOURCE%% >> EXPORT.TXT

ECHO SET END=%%PAR%%%%TO% >> EXPORT.TXT

ECHO. >> EXPORT.TXT

ECHO Microsoft Security Bulletin Summary für %date:~3,-5% / %date:~-4% >> EXPORT.TXT

ECHO. >> EXPORT.TXT

FOR /F "TOKENS=1,2 DELIMS=-" %%I IN ('DIR /B WINDOWSXP-KB*.EXE') DO REN %%I-%%J*.EXE %%J.EXE & ECHO %%START%%%%J.EXE %%END%% >> EXPORT.TXT

ECHO. >> EXPORT.TXT

ECHO Erstellt am: %date% um %time:~0,-6% >> EXPORT.TXT
