Re: Folder depth & cacls


..... Oops ....

Forgot the POPD

@echo off
setlocal
set work=C:\Folder
pushd "%work%"
@echo Y| CALCS "%work%" /E /C /G ....
for /f "Tokens=*" %%a in ('dir /b /a /s') do (
call :sub "%%a"
POPD
)
endlocal
goto :EOF
:sub
set fold=%~DP1
if /i "%fold%" EQU "%work%" goto sub1
pushd "%fold%"
set work=%fold%
@echo Y| CALCS "%work%" /E /C /G ....
:sub1
set file=%~nx1
@echo Y| CALCS "%file%" /E /C /G ....

See if something like this works:

@echo off
setlocal
set work=C:\Folder
pushd "%work%"
@echo Y| CALCS "%work%" /E /C /G ....
for /f "Tokens=*" %%a in ('dir /b /a /s') do (
call :sub "%%a"
)
endlocal
goto :EOF
:sub
set fold=%~DP1
if /i "%fold%" EQU "%work%" goto sub1
pushd "%fold%"
set work=%fold%
@echo Y| CALCS "%work%" /E /C /G ....
:sub1
set file=%~nx1
@echo Y| CALCS "%file%" /E /C /G ....
..
