[quote=pacohaas]sorry for the repost, but thought this deserved it's own post in the correct forum:
I made a batch file that seems to work for the most part, it gave me one error when I dragged all my folders, but when I did sections of it at a time(~20 screennames or so) it seemed to work great and now all my folders are converted to the new style:
copy the following into a .bat file:
Code: Select all
@ECHO OFF
:Loop
IF %1=="" GOTO Continue
cd %1
cd ..
mkdir MM_temp
move "%~n1" MM_temp
ren "MM_temp\%~n1" IMs
ren MM_temp "%~n1"
SHIFT
GOTO Loop
:Continue
Note that I started this when I had already began the moving process so you have to move the <yourscreenname> folder up out of the \Instant Messages\ folder first.
Step two is to go into the <yourscreenname> folders and drag the <buddysn> folders onto this batch file
Step 3: there is no step 3.[/quote]
Alright. Sorry for the stupid question, but what directory should the bat be in?
Right now i've got my old screenname filled with logs directory dragged out to the c drive, and the bat inside it dragging the log folders onto it. definitely not how it ought to be happening, I think.
Sorry, i'm a big confused retard right now.
