Hello all.
I need some help for a batch file that will test for specific text as the last line of a .ans and .asc file and if the text is not there, it needs to add it.
I've been playing around with it and think I have the right code but I'm not sure if it's got the right logic.
This is what I have so far. I've replaced specific path and file names with [stuff] or (stuff) and the specific text to find is "|PA":
@echo off
c:
cd \[path to the batch file]
:ASC
for /f "tokens=*" %%a in (file.asc) do set "line=%%a"
echo "%line%"|findstr /i /c:"|PA" >nul
if errorlevel 1 (
echo ^|PA>>file.asc
) else (
goto ANS
)
:ANS
for /f "tokens=*" %%a in (file.ans) do set "line=%%a"
echo "%line%|findstr /i /c:"|PA" >nul
if errorlevel 1 (
echo ^|PA>>file.ans
) else (
goto END
)
:END
Is there anythimg I need to modify, add or remove to ensure the logic and actions are correct?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
(I hope it displays properly with the pipe codes in this message!)
