directed listing

[Gonzo]

I finally managed to figure how to get the compiler to create the full listing I want, some of that info coming from searches here, especially in the Workshop via a posting by MichaelW and subsequent responses.  I would like to refine the .bat files involved to put the listing file in a directory other than the one containing the source.  The command line \masm32\bin/ml (etc) /Fl"%1.lst" will create the listing I want, however, the variable %1 contains directory information I don't want...what I DO want is just the name of the module being assembled so I can direct the listing to the folder I choose.

I realize this is more a DOS batch file question, however, been searching the 'net for a few hours, cannot find how to substring out just the name from the %1 variable.

Thanks for your help.

just use the /Fl flag without the name.  it defaults to the source file name.

[edit]
sorry, misread the post again.  :)

This worked OK under Windows 2000 so it will probably work under Windows XP, but I don't know about Windows 9x.

Test.bat:

Code Select Expand


@echo off
echo %1
echo %1 > tempfile.txt
for /f "tokens=1,1" %%I in (tempfile.txt) do set name=%%~nI
echo %name%
pause

Runtest.bat:

Code Select Expand


@echo off
call test c:\masm32\my\junk
pause


For more information, start a CMD processor and enter HELP FOR.

Jeff -

This doesn't get what I want.  The %1 variable contains directory information as noted and the .lst file gets placed in that directory.  For example: in Qeditor I edited textio.asm from examples\example3\textio.  I added just Fl to the command line in assmbl.bat, ran Assemble ASM File in Project and the .lst file was placed along with the .obj file in examples\example3\textio - not what I wanted.  I'm old school main frame assembly language programmer...I want all my source in one library, ojbects in another, listings in another and load modules (executables) in another.

I thought perhaps FOR was going to be the answer.  I'm running W2K.  Shall give it a shot.  Thanks.

fwiw in the event there are other anal types like me out there, the following works on W2K:


echo %1 > tempfile.txt
for /f "tokens=1,1" %%I in (tempfile.txt) do set mod=%%~nI

if exist \masm32\obj\%mod%.obj del \masm32\obj\%mod%.obj

\masm32\bin\ml /c /coff /Sn /Fl\masm32\lst\%mod% /Fo\masm32\obj\%mod% "%1.asm" > \masm32\log\%mod%.log

Sorry - I don't know how to do the trick editing on this bbs.

Gonzo,
Above the edit box and above the smilies, you will find a button with '#' on it.  This will insert the code tags into the edit box.  Next you put the code between the tags and that's it.

These lines

Code Select Expand


echo %1 > tempfile.txt
for /f "tokens=1,1" %%I in (tempfile.txt) do set mod=%%~nI


could be simplified to

Code Select Expand

for /f %%I in ("%1") do set mod=%%~nI

No need for the temp file. Default token is token 1.

Now is the time for all good men

Eh?  Thanks for the tip.  Now I'm hoping I have found how to respond to particular posts as well.

Ahhh...very clean, works like a champ.  Thanks.

I wonder if anyone now knows how to direct the output from link.  The prototype from /? yields only

Code Select Expand

LINK [options] [files] [@commandfile]

That provides zero information about [files], format, etc.  Any ideas?

If you mean linker options, look at msdn: Linker Options

From command line, try

Code Select Expand

link /? >link.txt

[P1]

Leave the "%1.lst" as is.

Just add the copy to where you want.

Copy *.lst c:\masm32\mylistings\*.lst
Del *.lst

Thanks Maze.  I have to retrain from reaching for IBM manuals on shelves!  This is great info.

I considered doing that, however, I KNEW there was a way within the batch file to parse out the values and get the output file directed where I wanted.   Besides, with the parsing, it is trick.... :bg
