Hi,

I thought some might be interested in my latest batch file to manage ePrompter configurations. I think my old file was the inspiration for the nicely done ePbatch files.

I've only tested under Win98se so the considerations and documentation with ePbatch mostly apply. Although my batch file, ePrompter.bat, works fine as is, hopefully, it will be developed into the well-documented type of utility that ePbatch has become. My file contains some minimal documentation at the end of it.

This one cycles through 26 configurations, allowing the management of 416 email accounts. That should satisfy almost all needs! (I'm about to cross the 48 account mark, myself). It makes no changes to the contents of the ini files as set up by ePrompter. Alternate configurations are maintained in backup files renamed by single alphabet letter extensions from the original ini files.

See the appended "ePrompter.bat" file. I see in the preview for this post that my comment formatting at the end of the file has been damaged. If you have trouble reconstructing something readable, let me know.

Hi ho

Your batch files is INGENUOUS...
But NOT ELEGANT!!.

NOW,
if you create separate folder for each .ini set of emails,
such as folders c:\ePrompter.A, B, C, etc....
and add ePrompters exec to each folder,
and replace the EXIT subroutine by:

:EXIT
dir %ePdir%ePrompter.* /p /oe
pause
cd (location of your folders=>>)\ePrompter.%curr%
echo your folder is: (location of your folders=>>)\ePrompter.%next%
pause
eprompter.exe
exit

Rem ###################################################################

where (location of your folders=>>) is the location of the folders: \ePrompter.%next%

then, PRESTO you have an INGENUOUS AND ELEGANT batch file.

Ciao,

PS: Once you get it running good, get rid of the pause....

Hi hos
Using this method I have modified the Batch file
where now the user can select the SET of e-mails,
he wants to open, and not go thru the cycle.

I haven't worked it out for it to work from a FlashDrive,
but it is no big deal.

PS: Any progress billh??

Hi hos
The modified batch file now works on FLASHDrive/DriveStick.
I moved the ePrompter.A, B, C, etc. files to the FlashDrive
so only ePrompter.ini appears on the C:\Windows folder.

Now it is ELEGANCE-NON-PAR!
Dah....
