Hi everyone! I am making a simple chat program in batch (it doesn't use the net send command). It consist of a main DOS window that you chat with called PM, a .txt file called Log that stores what you say, and a DOS window called PM LOG that prints on the screen what is in the Log.txt file (so you don't have to keep opening it). So, my problem is that whenever I use the TYPE command, I can't specify the location. But if I just say TYPE Log.txt, it will print out Log.txt thats in the folder that PM Log.bat is in. For example PM Log.bat:
some script here..blah blah
TYPE C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\My Documents\Log.txt
then I get this error:
Access is denied.
Error occurred while processing: C:\Documents.
The system cannot find the file specified.
Error occurred while processing: and.
The system cannot find the path specified.
So, does anyone know how to use the type command with a specified location?
