Hi there, I'm writing a pretty basic script with the 'attrib' command to hide/show files and folders.
Every time I hide a file it should write the pathname (+ date) into a .txt file.
But it also should delete the pathnames of files and objects in the .txt file if they are restored.If an user enters a wrong pathname then I want to enter a custom error message and being able to go back to :A
Finaly, I was wondering if it was possible to make an perfect box with ANY username, time and date.
Here is the script:
@echo off
title File Hider
color 02
cd C:\Users\Myname\Documents\Myname\
:: (I do this because otherwise it won't find test.txt)
clsecho.
echo.echo ----------------------
echo ^| ^|
echo ^| Welcome %username% ^|
echo ^| ^|
echo ^| It is %time% ^|
echo ^| %date% ^|
echo ^| ^|
echo ----------------------echo.
echo.pause
cls
:A
echo.
echo.ECHO Choose Option "1" if you want to hide an object.
ECHO Choose Option "2" if you want to make an object visible again.
ECHO Choose Option "3" to display a list of hidden objects.
ECHO Choose Option "4" to quit.echo.
echo.choice.exe /C 12345 /N /M "Your choice:"
IF ERRORLEVEL == 255 GOTO FAIL
IF ERRORLEVEL == 5 GOTO TEST
IF ERRORLEVEL == 4 GOTO END
IF ERRORLEVEL == 3 GOTO OPEN
IF ERRORLEVEL == 2 GOTO SHOW
IF ERRORLEVEL == 1 GOTO HIDEecho.
echo.pause
:HIDE
ECHO Give the pathname:
set /p n=attrib +s +r +h %n%
echo Object succesfull hidden!
%n% > test.txt
echo The pathname is saved in test.txt
pause
clsGOTO A
:SHOW
ECHO Enter the path:
echo Tip: Check test.txt
set /p SHOW=attrib -s -r -h %SHOW%
Echo Object restored !
pause
clsGOTO A
:OPEN
test.txt
pause
clsGOTO A
:TEST
::
::setlocal
::for /F "delims=" %%j in ('type "%*"') do set line=%%j
::echo.%line%> "%*"
::echo test
pause
clsGoto A
:FAIL
echo Error ! Impossible choise.
echo CMD closes automatically inSleep 10
cls
end
you can use findstr command and recreate the test file. Findstr /v prints all the lines which does not contain the match.
Pipe the output of findstr to a temp file, delete the original test.txt and rename the temp file to test.txt which does not have the match (%N) variable in your case.
findstr /v %n test.txt >test_temp.txt
erase /f test.txt
ren test_temp.txt test.txtSubhash Chandra.
