- How to perform string concatenation or find length of a string

[Matthias Tacke]

Here is the actual script
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
@echo off
setlocal
set srcDir=c:\UPDATES
set trgDir=c:\APPFILES
set len=10

for /f "delims=" %%F in ('dir %srcDir% /A-D/B/S') do (
call :sub "%%~F"
)

goto :eof
:sub
set Name=%~1
set flName="%trg%%Name:~10%"
set Path=%~dp1

if exist %flName% (
psfile %flName% -c
)
copy "%Name%" "%trg%%Path:~10%"
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Simply exchange the src path with target path using set.

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
@echo off
setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
set srcDir=c:\UPDATES
set trgDir=c:\APPFILES
for /f "delims=" %%F in ('dir %srcDir% /A-D/B/S') do call :sub "%%F"
goto :eof
:sub
set Name=%~1
set flName=!%Name:%srcDir%=%trgDir%!
if exist "%flName%" psfile "%flName%" -c
copy /Y "%Name%" "%flName%"
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

To make things simple, here is an example of what I would like to achieve:

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
set srcDir = c:\UPDATES
set trgDir = c:\APPFILES
set lenSrc = character length of srcDir (10 in this case)

for /f "delims=" %%srcFile in ('dir %src% /A-D/B/S') do (
:: next line works with the actual value of lenSrc (%flName:~10%)
set tgrFile = %trg%%flName:~%lenSrc%%
if exist "%tgrFile%" (
psfile "%tgrFile%" -c
)
)
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Another words, I need some sort of way to replace srcDir part of flName with
tgrDir.

Thanks for the response.
I did test it. Unfortunately, all flName(s) came out blank
Here is the output:

D:\>UpdateScript.cmd
copy /Y "c:\UPDATES\file1.txt" ""
copy /Y "c:\UPDATES\file2.txt" ""

Sorry a typo, one percent too much

That should be:
set flName=!Name:%srcDir%=%trgDir%!

Genius
Thanks so much!

That should be:
set flName=!Name:%srcDir%=%trgDir%!
