Batch File?

[Beeznik]

I'd like to create a batch file because I'm in two leagues. I've been doing it manually, but anything to quicken it up would be nice. I have read the FOFC instructions, but it doesn't go into enough detail as I'm not very good with this type of stuff.

Could someone please post some detailed instructions on how to do it? I am using Vista.

copy "C:\Documents and Settings\...\IFL\universe\*.*" "C:\Documents and Settings\...\Application Data\Solecismic Software\Front Office Football 2007\universe\"
copy "C:\Documents and Settings\...\IFL\Pictures\*.*" "C:\Program Files\Solecismic Software\Front Office Football 2007\Pictures\"
start "C:\Program Files\Solecismic Software\Front Office Football 2007\FrFoot2007.exe"


The above is what I use on Windows XP however the "start line" doesn't work for me.
"..." represents where my directory would differ from yours. The copy lines copy all files (*.*) from the left quoted directory into the right quoted directory. The copy-to directory is the same for everyone if you use the default installation process. The copy-from directory(s) depend on how you set them up.

Hope this helps but I'm not great at this stuff.

Same problem here. Can't run the game for some reason.

looked into how to get the batch file thing so I could get KKiley set up.

Basically, create shortcut of your frfoot2007.exe file (located under program files in your Solecismic Software folder) by right clicking on the file, select send to desktop, create shortcut. Then move that short cut into the same directory as your batch file.

Then in the batch file "start" command line enter the name of the short cut like:
start frfoot2007.lnk

If the shortcut that you create is called frfoot2007 shortcut.lnk, then remove the "shortcut" from the name to simplify things.

Then save, then right click on your batch file and click send to desktop, create shortcut and it should work.

Thanks Kozure!

Do you create the batch file in notepad? Does it matter what you name it when you save it?

should not matter what you name it.
I always have created in notepad and save as *.bat

Do you have to rename all of your league folders? Name them a certain way so the batch file reads them?

Are you using XP or Vista?
