Hello,
I am attempting to convert multiple .wav files to the .flac format via a batch script. I know that this can be done with numerous software implementations automatically for me; however, i am interested to understand how to create a script to perform my purpose and since this function is useful, what the hey! I am rather new to batch files but would appreciate any help. TIA
My process thus far has been the following:
I edited the file type .wav via Tools>Folder Options>File Types I added an option for "Encode to Flac" and pointed this at my "flac-convert.bat %1"
Essentially this works fine; The script runs and encodes one file with ease. At this point my script was:
@ECHO OFF
C:\"Program Files\flac\bin\ flac.exe -8 %1
However, when I highlighted multiple .wav files in Explorer and click my "Encode" option multiple instances of the batch file are run. I attempted to solve this with the following code:
@ECHO OFF
:LOOP
FOR %%1 IN (.) DO C:\"Program Files"\flac\bin \flac.exe -8 %%1
SHIFT
IF "%1" == "" GOTO END
GOTO LOOP
:END
When I ran this code I hit another stumbling block. The code was parsing the %1 differently than it had in my original instance where flac was run directly. The filenames contained are something like My_alto-sax_solo.wav When I ran the first script this was parsed fine and the wav file was encoded; but, when the flac.exe was run from within the FOR loop the input file is claimed to be invalid.
So my question is two part:
1)Understanding the parsing of text within a Batch File:
How does passing a command within a FOR alter the way arguments are passed to it?
and
2) Is it possible to only run one instance of the batch file via some setting within Windows?

I need help closing a CMD window when it is executed from Access.
1) The batch file is called from Access.
2) Access closes,
3) the batch runs a copy of the access database (creating a backup)
4) Once the copy is complete, the batch file opens the Access database
again
5) EXIT should close out the cmd window but it does not execute that

Hi:
I'm using VC 7.1. I like to have multiple actions taken after a build is
complete. For example, I'd like to copy the files into multiple directories.
But so far I can only specify ONE action, seems no way to specify more than
one action there, I might be able to use a batch file for it but just whish
there is something better. Guess I must have missed something. any info is
appreciated.
Thanks In Advance!

Hello,
What is the optimal way to insert multiple rows (around 1000) from a web
application into a table?
The user enters multiple lines into a text box (up to 10,000). The ASP.NET
application breaks that data into a string array. Each line is an item of
that array.
The user clicks Submit.
