Trying to use batch code to parse and archive log files... Errors...

Bingo! That did it. :.)

One last thing... It seems that an SQL log file is bypassing everything. I'll explain...

Here's the code I'm using:

Code:

@ECHO OFF
CLS

REM Get today's date
FOR /F "tokens=*" %%A IN ('DATE/T') DO FOR %%B IN (%%A) DO SET Today=%%B

REM Parse out current Year
FOR /F "tokens=1-3 delims=/-" %%A IN ("%Today%") DO (
    SET DayMonth=%%A
    SET MonthDay=%%B
    SET Year=%%C
)

REM Subtract 2 from current year
set /a strtyr=%Year%-2

IF NOT EXIST "C:\www\projects\ems\EMS_Batch\ICS Archive\archives" MKDIR "C:\www\projects\ems\EMS_Batch\ICS Archive\archives"
FOR %%G IN ("C:\www\projects\ems\EMS_Batch\blah\*.log") DO (call :PARSE "%%~nG")
goto:EOF

:parse
SET filename=%1
if %filename% == "sqlnet.log" (exit /b)
IF  %filename:~0,24% == %filename% goto found24

REM Process logfiles with 24 char names
:found24

REM Skip files that are within current and previous year
set /a archive_yn=%strtyr%-%filename:~17,4%

if %archive_yn% == -1 goto :EOF
if %archive_yn% == -2 goto :EOF

set archname=archive_for_card_dumps_%filename:~17,4%.zip

REM Add logfile to archive
REM Redirection to NUL to suppress messages from 7 zip
7zip a "C:\www\projects\ems\EMS_Batch\ICS Archive\archives\"%archname% "C:\www\projects\ems\EMS_Batch\blah\"%filename%.log > NUL

REM Delete logfile after archived, no prompt
ECHO Y | DEL "C:\www\projects\ems\EMS_Batch\blah\"%filename%.log
goto:EOF

The part about "sqlnet.log" isn't working. I was thinking in my mind that adding that condition would force the batch program to skip over "sqlnet.log", but it's not... Any idea why?

Excellent! That did it, strollin. Thanks again!
