How can this script:

FOR /F %%A IN ('mminfo -q "client=client_name,savetime>=today" -ot -r barcode') DO FOR /F "skip=3 tokens=1,2,3 delims=: " %%B IN ('nsrjb') DO IF %%A==%%C match.bat %%B %%A

be stripped down to just search for volumenames then insert the volumename into: nsrmm -o readonly "volumename"?


There will only be two tapes for any given day so I am thinking that the nsrmm command would have to be listed twice.

OK, I stripped it down to "mminfo -q "savetime>=today" and was able to list the two volumes that were written. The question would be how do you scrape the volume names so they can be inserted into the next command?

Assuming you don't have spaces in your volume names, you should just
loop over the volume names and run nsrmm on each one.

I don't do Windows batch scripting, but on UNIX/Linux with a
Bourne-derived shell, it would be something like

for v in `mminfo -q 'savetime>=today' -r volume`
do
nsrmm -o readonly $v
done

I'll leave translating that to batch or PowerShell to you.

Hey,

It's been a long time since I have done batch scripting .... and what I do remember from it, is that its really limited in what you can do ...

You can't have nested for loops, there is some restriction around being able to set a variable inside a for loop ... other than the tokens defined in the loop.

I haven't tested the script below, but you could possibly break it out into something like below

jsrjb >nsrjb.out
FOR /F %%A IN ('mminfo -q "client=client_name,savetime>=today" -ot -r barcode') DO
type nsrjb.out | find /i "%%A" >>tapelist.out

FOR /F %%A IN ('type tapelist.out') DO
nsrmm -o readonly "%%A"

You can't have nested for loops,

You can call a subroutine or a separate batch file from within a loop to
get around that.

(you are speaking of Windows Command files, right?)

there is some restriction around being able to set a variable inside a
for loop

You can't re-set the index counter inside the loop, but you can set other
variables within a loop, sure.

FOR /F "TOKENS=1-4 DELIMS=/ " %%I IN ('DATE /T') DO (
SET DayOfWeek=%%I
SET Month=%%J
SET Day=%%K
SET Year=%%L
)

... other than the tokens defined in the loop.

I haven't tested the script below, but you could possibly break it
out into something like below

jsrjb >nsrjb.out
FOR /F %%A IN ('mminfo -q "client=client_name,savetime>=today" -ot -
r barcode') DO
type nsrjb.out | find /i "%%A" >>tapelist.out

FOR /F %%A IN ('type tapelist.out') DO
nsrmm -o readonly "%%A"

Which script are you using, U can get only the volume information by using the "-r" switch.

Eg: mminfo -c <client_name> -t <time> -r volume

Can someone explain how the -x varible works on mminfo? Since I now have the volumes I am thinking the -x will export those to a file??

-x is used to change the output that mminfo generates. if you use -xm,
it will generate xml output to your screen. If you use -xc<char> (for
example -xc,) it will use that <char> to separate the values -- easy way
to generate a comma separated value file to dump into a spreadsheet...

You must be on Windows and not be able to do "man mminfo"?

Why would you think that? Why would you just guess rather than reading
the documentation? If you are not fortunate enough to be working on a
Unix system where you have the benefit of man pages then you should
download the command references from Powerlink. Then you will have the
facts and not have to resort to guesswork.
