Command line scripting

Yeah, basicly I'm trying to automate a proccess which involves file moving, renaming, update...ect.
I'm having difficulty in that i can't get some syntaxes right and i'm not sure of how to do things. Maybe it would be better in Visual Basic, but my knowledge for that is gone.
What it needs to do is this: Update source code via SVN (Already compiled a script) Compile the resulting C++ into an exe (Already compiled) Change the directory of the root drive. Rename the old exe file using the data in the exe version Change the directory into the "Old" folder Create a new directory based on the filename of the exe Move the old exe file to the newly created folder Move the new compiled exe to the root drive End script
So far i have:
Code:
C:\~~\TortoiseProc.exe /command:update /path:d:\Source\src /closeonend:1 makeexe32.bat cd D:\ ren program.exe (code?).exe cd D:\Old md (code?) move D:\****.exe D:\Old\****\ (code syntax wrong?) move D:\Source\program.exe D:\ (code syntax wrong?) exit
Any help? Would making a VBasic program be better? If so what code?

You would be better served writing the script in a VB.net/C# console application or look up Windows Scripting Host and it's support for vb and jscript.

vbasic would work but probably overkill? Just depends.
On a command prompt do 'help set' to see how to mess around with command script vars. At one point I had all sorts of crazy scripts to build and do things. These days I do it in python or C. You eventually get to the point you need functions and batch files just dont cut it. I may have the '%' bits wrong up above. As sometimes you need to do %%ERRORLEVEL%% inside of command files. So you will have to mess around with it a bit. I am doing this off the top of my head (its been a long time) so you will have to mess with it.
I assume you are trying to create some sort of sub directory that contains the version number. You may also while you are building actually have it just go ahead and create the directory. I have done that in the past too as the program that is doing the compiling usually knows the version number anyway...

Is this in mingw's folder?

Whats REM anyway?

Yes, would it be different for MAME builds?

REM is batch script for 'remark'. It lets you put comments into your batch files.

Not sure about MAME I havent dug into how they do their versioning builds in quite awhile. Someone who builds it everyday could say better than I. But my guess is that it is a #define somewhere in the code. If it were me and I was trying to get the version number I would write a small C application that just returns the version number (by including the appropriate header) or creates the directory I want.
