hi!
i would like to make a copy of a folder to a mapped network folder. i have a MS-DOS 6.22 (standalone!) PC. the folder name changes dinamically and it is written in a file called PRUEFNR (is automatically generated by an instrument connected to the PC). The file PRUEFNR contains only a line and there is written a number, "84235" for example. this is simple done on a W2K system with this batch file go.bat:
GO.BAT listing: for /f %%l in (pruefnr) do set folder=%%l copy c:\fpmc\%folder%\*.* v:\%folder% /x set folder=
unfortunatelly the command For in MS-DOS 6.22 (Standalone!) does not support the /f option. Does anyone how to do? What it has to be done is to list the file PRUEFNR and use it's content as input to the batch file GO.BAT. I also tried with pipes, redirections, but did not succeeded :-(. i would like to solve without third party tools.

I'm lost.
Is this one BAT or two?
Are you passing it a file or directory name?

If at first you don't succeed, you're about average.

A little inconsistancy here. A mapped network drive on a standalone computer.

Hi wizard-fred,
Yeah, don't remember much about Novell but I used to make lastdrive=v to leave 4.
The inconsistency that threw me was file / folder.

I would like to create only one batch file. What I'm passing is a folder name. It is stored in the file PRUEFNR. The PC is connected to a network. The mapped network folder is called G: (I said "standalone" to say that it's a MS-DOS 6.22 OS and not a DOS shell of 9X/NT.. sorry)
Summary: Major problem here is that MS-DOS 6.22 does not support FAT32. In so far as it will not even bootstrap (startup) so ahow will it be able to access a driver? What someone needs to do is hack IO.SYS or ...
