How to add a Folder to a script-CodePudding

sorry about this but this is making me feel dump

I was given this script which is very helpful but for the life of me

I can seem to add a folder
I want to add 2Preparing folder

No matter what I do the script fails to run

can you help me with this

Thank you

for /F "delims=" %%I in ('dir file.txt /A-D /B /S 2^>nul') do for /L %%J in (1,1,%VariableV%) do copy "%%I" "%%~dpIfile (%%J).txt"

I like this script because I can control the outfile file (1).txt

Work Environment

Main Folder
  ----2Preparing
       |   File.txt

Main Folder
  ----2Preparing
       |    File (1).txt
       |    File (2).txt
       |    File.txt

If you want to run that script on a file in a folder that isn't in the same folder as the batch file, you could do this:

for /F "delims=" %%I in ('dir "path\to\folder\file.txt" /A-D /B /S 2^>nul') do for /L %%J in (1,1,%VariableV%) do copy "%%I" "%%~dpIfile (%%J).txt"

Simply add the relative path from the batch file to the file you want to work on. If you want it to be a bit more smart, you can do this.

set count=0
set "path=path\to\folder"
set file=file
:loop
set count=%count% 1
for /F "delims=" %%I in ('dir "%path%\%file%.txt".txt /A-D /B /S 2^>nul') do for /L %%J in (1,1,%VariableV%) do copy "%%I" "%%~dpIfile (%%J).txt"
if %count%==(however many files you want to process) goto:eof
if %count%==1 (
     set "path=path\to\another\folder"
     set file=anotherfile
    )
goto loop

This will let you make a list of every file and every path to those files you want to edit, and then the program will loop through, preforming each operation however many times you need. It would work the same to past your for command string a bunch of times, and set it up with one for each file too, but this way you only need to debug one command.

OK, I have figured out the reason
