Affect · 12-31-2002, 07:54 PM

Smiley33 · 12-31-2002, 07:55 PM

It smells funny, but I think it's spectacular.

I wrote this for some trick that I work with, and I wanted it to look cool. I originally had it down to one line, but I wanted to toss as much as I could into it.

Is this the trick who wanted to take you out after work?

Negative. This is actually an older woman that takes care the deletes here.

The other one is fairly low end. I still wanna dink her though.

Haven't you just batch-filed her out of a job?

SPZero · 01-01-2003, 12:29 AM

Ihaman · 01-01-2003, 01:10 AM

Hardly. Just helped her prep the files that go bad.

Being a little hung and all, I will give you a slight HA for that.

In M:\Deletes\ there are delete files that are processed by a deleter program. When they error out, or go bad, their file extension is changed to .bad. This normally happens when a program crashes or errors out. They have to be sent through a second time, but to be deleted, they need a .del extension. So this renames all of the .bad to .del. This renaming can be done by hand, but when there are 32000 files in there, the batch file makes it much easier. REN is a DOS command to rename the file. You plug in the variables, and you're done.

Fairly simple.

Was it just me, or did anyone else hear the voice of Michael Bolton from Office Space when they read the above?

It's just that easy, and that hard.
