Batch script issue

[slevin4356]

can anyone help me modifiying the batch script:

SETLOCAL
SET PGM=WTX
SET SYSNAME=G1234W
SET TRANSET=PS
SET Fltr="TLUS*.*"
.
.
IF [%PGM%]==[WTX] (
SET LPath="%LDrv%\WTXDTA\\DAT\ZIP\"
SET APath="%LDrv%\WTXDTA_ARC\DAT\ZIP\"
SET TPath=!LPath:"=!

.
.
.
.
.
>"%ScriptFull1:"=%" (ECHO open %FtpSite%)
>>"%ScriptFull1:"=%" (ECHO %FtpUser%)
>>"%ScriptFull1:"=%" (ECHO %FtpPass%)
>>"%ScriptFull1:"=%" (ECHO type binary)
>>"%ScriptFull1:"=%" (ECHO lcd "%TPath:~0,-1%")
>>"%ScriptFull1:"=%" (ECHO cd "%RPath:"=%")
>>"%ScriptFull1:"=%" (ECHO dir %Fltr:"=% "%DrFull:"=%")
>>"%ScriptFull1:"=%" (ECHO ls %Fltr:"=% "%LsFull:"=%")
>>"%ScriptFull1:"=%" (ECHO mget %Fltr:"=%)
>>"%ScriptFull1:"=%" (ECHO quit)

This script gets all the file startin with TLUS from the ftp server now i just want the files that start with TLUS2*.*,TLUS3*.* and TLUS4*.* can any one suggest me so that i can get only these 3 files in the two specified folders

Complicated script!

I'm guessing your FTP server can handle linux-type wildcards. If so, you could just:

SET Fltr="TLUS[234]*.*"

If not, you'll need to wrap everything, save that SET, in a loop like:

for Fltr in ( TLUS2*.* TLUS3*.* TLUS4*.* ) do (
[the other stuff]
)

Sorry, I'm more used to Bash syntax. Looks like batch files can't do a for loop with a variable of more than one character! So in a batch file you'll have to do:

for %%f in ( TLUS2*.* TLUS3*.* TLUS4*.* ) do (
SET Fltr="%%f"
[the other stuff]
)

i have tried the above For loop but it saying syntax error... can you suggest any other way to work that out

Uggh! Looks like there's no nice, simple way to iterate through multiple strings that don't exist as files. Here's a discussion of ways to do it; they're just not nice or simple.
