But a brief flash is all I get.              (Sorry for the delay replying; life isn't always particularly easy for me.)              The batch does not ask for anything. It's simplest to just run it in the top       folder you want it to work in.              Say you want to copy all .ino files in "C:\Users\terry\Dropbox\Electronics\",       and all subfolders, to .txt files. Put the batch file in that folder and then       just double-click it (or select it and press Enter). You can't pick and       choose which files get copied, nor can you decide which folders to look in --       every .ino file in every subfolder will get copied. Anything more complicated       than that is veering dangerously beyond my attention span, sorry.              --       I'm not sure, but I might want to rephrase that later.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
