PostProcessing.log not updated anymore

[zehd]

Ah, I see, it will log the different things your instructing.

So if I've got it renaming the file and moving it to another folder, I would need a line to the log file after each one?

yes.
I prefer to place a log statement before and after...with time statements, it gives me an idea how how the operation took.

Time statements not included in this example...

Code:

echo about to copy files....>>post.log
Copy x y
echo finished copying files...>>post.log

Rem RENAME the old .mpg file and rename the new one to the old name
move "%~dpn1.mpg" "%~dpn1_original.mpg"
move "%~dpn1_cleaned.mpg" "%~dpn1.mpg"
REM Below added 2/9/07 to clean up
move "%~dpn1_original.mpg" H:\Originals
del "%~dpn1.log"
del "%~dpn1.txt"
del "%~dpn1.VPrj"
del "%~dpn1.logo.txt"

OK, so here's the relevant part. If I wanted to see each one of these operations in the log file, how would it look?

Thanks in advance for holding my hand with this. I'm feeling kinda silly, with this basic stuff.

Cheers

edit - damn, you posted at the same time, or soon before.

Here...

Code:

Rem RENAME the old .mpg file and rename the new one to the old name
echo RENAME the old .mpg file and rename the new one to the old name>>Post.log
echo.

echo %time% : renaming "%~dpn1.mpg" to "%~dpn1_original.mpg">>Post.log
rem this type of move is really renaming..
move "%~dpn1.mpg" "%~dpn1_original.mpg"

echo %time% : renaming "%~dpn1_cleaned.mpg" to "%~dpn1.mpg">>Post.log
move "%~dpn1_cleaned.mpg" "%~dpn1.mpg"

REM Below added 2/9/07 to clean up
echo %time% : moving files:  "%~dpn1_original.mpg" to H:\Originals>>Post.log
move "%~dpn1_original.mpg" H:\Originals

echo %time% : deleting temp files...>>Post.log

del "%~dpn1.log" >>Post.log
del "%~dpn1.txt" >>Post.log
del "%~dpn1.VPrj" >>Post.log
del "%~dpn1.logo.txt" >>Post.log

echo %time% : finished!>>Post.log

BTW, I expressly did not make this so you can cut and paste into your batch file. You have to do SOME leg work...

You da man Frank. Thanks. Consider your work here done. You've given me more than enough to go on. I'll refrain from asking any more questions. I think I'm getting a handle on it.

Cheers, enjoy the balance of your evening.

I hope you didn't take me the wrong way. I was happy to help.

No, no, it's just that I've professed enough stupidity for one evening.
