How to use batch file to register DLLs or to move or copy files


Batch file scripts below will register DLLs, copy or moved files.

Be careful in moving files as it would overwrite if there is an existing file on the destination folder.
  
This batch file script below would register DLL files in a specified folder.

REM Start Copy Here
REM Register DLL files
@echo off
set cnt=0
for %%v in (C:\MyCustomApp\*.dll) do (
   regsvr32 /s "%%v"
   call set /a cnt=%%cnt%%+1
   )
echo Total dlls found and registered = %cnt%
REM End of Batch File


Using same batch file it can be tweak to copy any specified files to a particular folder.

If you have a folder with PDF, Excel Files or other documents.

And you just want to copy files or move files to another folder, batch scripts below would help.

This simple batch file below would copy files to a specified folder.

REM Start Copy Here
REM Copy PDF Files to another folder
@echo off
set cnt=0
for %%v in (d:\MixFilesFolder\*.pdf) do (
   copy "%%v" "d:\AllPDF"
   call set /a cnt=%%cnt%%+1
   )
echo Total PDFs files copied and found = %cnt%
REM End of Batch File

If copied successfully, this output below would appear on the screen.
D:\>copyx.bat
        1 file(s) copied.
        1 file(s) copied.
        1 file(s) copied.
        1 file(s) copied.
        1 file(s) copied.
        1 file(s) copied.
        1 file(s) copied.
        1 file(s) copied.
Total Txts files copied and found = 8


To move files using batch file, see code snippet below.

REM Start Copy Here
REM Move PDF Files to another folder
@echo off
set cnt=0
for %%v in (d:\MixFilesFolder\*.pdf) do (
   move /Y "%%v" "d:\AllPDF"
   call set /a cnt=%%cnt%%+1
   )
echo Total PDFs files moved and found = %cnt%
REM End of Batch File

move /Y "%%v" "d:\AllPDF" - will supress prompting to confirm overwrite

move /-Y "%%v" "d:\AllPDF" - will prompt to overwrite the file

If move /-Y is used the user will be prompt to overwrite the file (see sample output below)

D:\>movex
        1 file(s) moved.
        1 file(s) moved.
        1 file(s) moved.
        1 file(s) moved.
        1 file(s) moved.
        1 file(s) moved.
Overwrite d:\c1\x.txt? (Yes/No/All):

If move /Y is used it will suppress the warning and just overwrite the file.

To create a batch file copy the script above save it to a notepad.

Click on File, click on “Save As” then enclosed the file name with quotation marks and with  “.bat” extension. Like, "MyBatchScript.bat"

To move directories, using the using the "move" command.

Do a "dir /x" and redirect the contents to a text file.

Dir /x - will display short names, so even directories will long file names will not be an issue.

Like, d:\dir /x  > file.txt -- will list the short names of the directories and redirect to  file.txt.

Then this one line command can do the job to move the directories specified on the file:

To test whether the batch file can read the text file do:

FOR /F  %%i  IN (file.txt)  DO Echo "%%i"  

This line below will move the directories to "d:\MyMixFolder", or change it to a desired location. FOR /F  %%i  IN (file.txt)  DO Move /Y  "%%i"  "d:\MyMixFolder"

But the output of "dir /x > file.txt", contains some other unnecessary lines or data, remove lines that are not needed and the file should only contain the short names of the directories.
 

Cheers!!! Hope you find it useful.

WMIC get computer name

WMIC get computer model, manufacturer, computer name and  username. WMIC is a command-line tool and that can generate information about computer model, its manufacturer, its username and other informations depending on the parameters provided. Why would you need a command line tool if there’s a GUI to check? If you have 20 or 100 computers, or even more. It’s quite a big task just checking the GUI to check the computer model and username. If you have remote computers, you need to delegate someone in the remote office or location to check. Or you can just write a batch file or script to automate the task. Here’s the code below on how get computer model, manufacturer and the username. Open an elevated command prompt and type:     wmic computersystem get "Model","Manufacturer", "Name", "UserName" Just copy and paste the code above, the word “computersystem” does not need to be change to a computer name.

Print error 016-799 - Fuji Film Xerox

016-799 Fuji Xerox or Fuji Film print error code. That shows a description error as “Print instruction Fail detected in decomposer.” The error code and error description are alien languages for users and even system administrators who are not familiar with Fuji Xerox error code. The error code is quite simple and easy to fix, if the job print goes to the printer but print out doesn’t come out. So, basically the print job was received by the printer, but the printer just doesn’t know what type of paper or what size to use or which tray to utilize for the print out. In some instances, this is just a paper mismatch but the error description; if using Windows 10 to print does not exactly points to what is the issue. First thing to check, is the paper size selected by the user to print. Example, if the printer configuration is A3 and A4 sizes only. But then the person printing the file accidentally chooses “A4 Cover” then this error 016-799 will occur. ...

Notepad++ convert multiple lines to a single line and vice versa

Notepad++ is an awesome text editing tool, it can accept regex to process the text data. If the data is in a “.csv” format or comma separated values which is basically just a text file that can either be opened using a text editor, excel or even word. Notepad++ can process the contents of the file using regex. Example if the data has multiple rows or lines, and what is needed is to convert the whole lines of data into a single line. Notepad++ can easily do it using regex. However, if the data is on a single line and it needs to be converted into multiple lines or rows then regex can also be used for this case. Here’s an example on how to convert multiple rows or lines into a single line. Example data: Multiple rows, just a sample data. Press Ctrl+H, and  on "Find what" type: [\r\n]+ and on "Replace with" type with: , (white space) --white space is needed if need to have a space in between the data. See image below, "Regular Expression" must be se...
