Problem with Batch File. 2

[Ed2020]

Hi,

I am using the following DOS command to loop through all directories within my current directory and retrieve the Size and Size on Disk properties:

FOR /D %G in ("*") DO "c:\Eds Stuff\Get Directory Sizes\du.exe" -l 0 "%G" >>"c:\Eds Stuff\Get Directory Sizes\dir_details.txt"

This works perfectly when run from a command prompt but when I put it in a batch file it no longer works. The command prompt window flashes up briefly, then disappears.

Can anyone shed any light on this please?

Thanks,

Ed.

Hi Ed

In a batch file, %G must be coded %%G.

See DO /? for details.

Oops - prev post should have read "see FOR /? for details".

or rather than a .bat, make is a .cmd then is will run in as a command
