MS Dos Commands Project HELP?

Question

These directories are only set up on one test and one production server. We would like to have a job we can use to allocate these directories on a different server in case we would need to switch to a different server. Below is a list of the directories we would need. For each set of directories we would also need the higher lever directory allocated, i.e.. For the MDMSPROJECT\PPL_BILL_REQUESTS\FAILED - LOADED - SQLLDR directories we would also have to have the MDMSPROJECT\PPL_BILL_REQUEST directory created first.

Help out Please? Advice & hints. :d

Hints & tips

Answer 1

This would be really easy to do in cygwin, or using UnixUtils for Windows:



http://www.cygwin.com/

http://unxutils.sourceforge.net/



Download it, then you can generate a script with it:



cd D:\MDMSPROJECT

find * -type d | awk '{ print ( "mkdir "$1 ); }' > gen_dirs.csh



(Make sure it's using the unix flavor of find, not the windows command find.exe)



Now, whenever you need to generate the directory, can just copy gen_dirs.csh to the root directory, and use it from there - if you're in a windows cmd prompt, call it gen_dirs.bat and if you're in cygwin, add the line #!/bin/csh to the beginning of the file.

Answer 2

I just tried this in a batch form:

for %%v in ("C:\Users\Chris\Documents\tst" "C:\Users\Chris\Documents\tst\tst1"

"C:\Users\Chris\Documents\tst\tst2") do mkdir %%v



You'll notice that you can span multiple lines for the directory listing to get all the directories created.

This way, you can create the main directory and each sub-directory below it. Make sure as I did that you create the higher directories first.



You'll also notice that because it's a batch file that there are two percent ('%') signs in front of the variable name.

add option /p meaning pause after each screen, but require a key hiting after each page.
