How can I shortcut an expression who's repeating?












0















I need help to know if can i use #definie for commands in batch or anything else like shortcuts
for example i have del "C:Games" so i definie "C:Games" as {output}



so I wrote:



@echo off   

#Definie output "C:Games"

Del "{output}"


But it didn't work for me
my problem is, when i create a script, many things are repeating and sometimes i get error
this is a part of the script



https://i.stack.imgur.com/4q0j8.png



as u can see in the pic, the yellow is repeating many times
can u suggest me a shortcut, i mean like i difinie the yellow as {output} and i write the yellow just one time
and then i replace all the yellows with {output}



This is what I've tried later in another exemple



@echo off



From=[C:UsersEasynote-TE69HWDesktopEctended fromtoFrom]



del /f /q from





batch-file file-io

  • Once you've followed the above advice, please repeat the process for both del /? and rd /?, since one deletes files and the other removes directories.

  • if you read my previous comment, you'd note that one Deletes files and the other, Removes Directories. If you want further assistance, please edit your question, to include the code you've now written, complete with an explanation of what happens which differs from your intent.

@echo off

set "From=C:UsersEasynote-TE69HWDesktopEctended fromtoFrom"

rd /s /q %from%


The second line sets (defines) a variable named From. (Note: variable names are case insensitive)

the third line uses that variable (%from%) with the RD command (Remvove Directory).

The switch /s works recursive (delete all subdirectories), /q doesn't ask for confirmation.



See the helpfile for any command with the switch /? (e.g. set /? or rd /?).



Also SS64 should be extremely helpful (a complete list of possible commands and their description)

ComboBox Display Member on multiple fields

Is it possible to collect Nectar points via Trainline?
