Windows 10: windows short file name not the same when batch script accesses file on NAS

I first asked over at community for my DS918+ file system but it has been a week and all that happened was the moderator corrected my spelling of their product name.


asked for help here first



When "win_build" is shorted it has always been (AFAICT) "win_bu~1" but on my storage system it is actually

Y:\VS2013projects\Src\boinc>dir/x win*
Volume in drive Y is Archives
Volume Serial Number is 2A24-E5D4
Directory of Y:\VS2013projects\Src\boinc
10/22/2019 09:45 AM <DIR> WOH7UM~G win_build



This causes problems for the build script that contains

SET BUILDROOT=%~dps0
SET BUILDROOT=%BUILDROOT:\win_bu~1\=%

I poked around over at that stackoverflow place and came up with a solution for the above

for %%I in (.) do SET SHORT_WIN_BUILD=%%~nsxI

The above works fine and gets that awful "W0H7UM~G" but as mentioned over at the synology community there is a bigger problem than the 8dot3name being different.


I assume Microsoft windows 10 is shortening the names a different way. Is there a way to force the old method to be used so that win_bu~1 shows up instead of WOH7UM~G ?


Thanks for looking and I double checked this for speeling errors before posting

Batch file needs tweaking

I've been using AviSynth for deinterlacing and tetelecining TV series lately, and in the process I have to write many scripts for each episode. I've found a batch file that pretty much automates this, but there is one issue. For example, if my source file is "Monk s01e01.mkv", the script the batch file gives me is named "Monk s01e01.mkv.avs". As the files AviSynth produces go by the name of the AVS script, if I processed the script with that name, the resulting file would be "Monk s01e01.mkv.avi". I need to get the .mkv part out of the .avs script the batch file produces. This is the batch file:

Code: for %%n in (*.mkv*) do ( echo setmtmode(5,4^) > "%%n.avs" echo ffmpegsource2("%%n"^) >> "%%n.avs" echo setmtmode(2^) >> "%%n.avs" echo qtgmc(edithreads=2^) >> "%%n.avs" echo selecteven(^) >> "%%n.avs" )[/quote] So, any way to get the .mkv out of the files produced by this batch file? It really beats having to write a script for each episode individually.

 

Batch File to list files from two seperat networks

Hello,

I work in a factory where multiple PCs are on seperate VLANs. I need to view contents of a directory from one VLAN called "Admin" and compare it with individual directories from multiple PCs on another VLAN called "Shop" ("Shop" is not part of the Domain)

I have created a VB script that will compare two txt files and report the diffences. So I am trying to create two text files from each VLAN using a batch file. The batch file will be ran from a PC with two network cards so it can see both VLANs.

I can easily create the list from the "Admin" network using:
dir /b \\Server\Share\ > Active.txt

The "Shop" list is different. It needs a username and password. All Shop PCs have the same user name and password but I'm not sure how to structure the script to create a list from multiple PCs using a user name and password.
If I open the folders from Windows and enter the credentials then a script like this will work:
dir /b \\PC_Name1\Share > Programs.txt
dir /b \\PC_Name2\Share >> Programs.txt

Using the command above without first opening the folder and entering the credentials gives this error: Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password

Thanks in advance for any help.

 

vb.net app has no read access to local files

Thanks for the quick reply! I am using full path names for all file references and all script files are in the same directory as both the app and the created batch file.
