Subj: Batch File in 15.0 for Slow Drives
Read: NO Status: PUBLIC MESSAGE
Conf: BETA (6) Read Type: GENERAL (+)
-> I have installed PCB 15.0 and it is working fine. I was wondering about the
-> format I need to use for the Batch file for Slow Drives.
You can do anything you want in there. The only important thing is that %1 is
the first command line parameter (actually, the ONLY command line parameter)
and that is the name of the file that is being processed.
I could look something like this:
PKZIP -z %1 < BBSAD
The above line would put the contents of your BBSAD file into the "comment"
region of the ZIP file.
Of course, you might want to preceed the above line with a test to see if the
file is a ZIP file first. That could be done like this:
TESTFILE %1 ZIP
IF ERRORLEVEL == 98 GOTO END
PKZIP -z %1 < BBSAD
:END
Also, the filename for the slow drive batch file is totally up to you. It
doesn't matter what you call it so long as you tell PCBoard (via PCBSetup) what
you called it.
Hopefully that should give you some ideas on what you can do with it.
