Re: new to scripting.. the below script stops after first run..

I had a feeling it might be something like that.. I vaguely remembered CALL from a long time ago, but wasnt sure if it was relevant or not.

I ended up achieving what I wanted to with some perl. I had one of the engineers here help get me started with the basics, then modified it, and combined it with windows shell.

Good to know about the calls for the future.

Much appreciated.

This is normal behavior for batch files is you don't add the CALL statement before each child script, like this:

call testdhcp.cmd ...
call testdhcp.cmd ...

Run "call /?" to see additional syntax.

I'm in the middle of migrating DNS and DHCP from unix services to MS DNS/DHCP.. I have exports from my unix servers that aren't compatible with MS for a straight import so I've fiddled with the data, and now I want to just run the same script many times and pass it a bunch of parameters.. below is what I have..
This script is called testdhcp.cmd.. I pass it 8 variables that get set as the below values
Set server=%1
Set netid=%2
Set subnetmask=%3
Set name=%4
Set comment=%5
Set gateway=%6
Set iprangestart=%7
Set iprangeend=%8
Echo creating the scope
Netsh dhcp server %server% add scope %netid% %subnetmask% %name% > NUL
Netsh dhcp server %server% scope %netid% set name %name% > NUL
Netsh dhcp server %server% scope %netid% set comment %comment% > NUL
Echo Changing scope options
Netsh dhcp server %server% scope %netid% add iprange %iprangestart% %iprangeend% BOTH > NUL
Netsh dhcp server %server% scope %netid% set optionvalue 003 IPADDRESS %gateway% > NUL

Echo Not Activating scope...
Netsh dhcp server %server% scope %netid% set state 0 > NUL

Echo Done!
-----------------------------
This above script is then run a bunch of times and the below values are passed from it. I have a cmd file named DublinScopes.cmd that contain the below entries

The first line passes fine, and spits out the below output(basically every command through the first script, with the proper values in place). What I don't understand is why it doesn't go down the list and finish the rest.. While the above isn't a big deal to copy and paste... I wanted to use this same method to feed 100 or so DHCP reservations through once the scopes were created, and I don't want to have to copy and paste that...
Any thoughts? Is there a way I can do this smarter? I know if I use a loop of some sorts I can, but Im not sure exactly how I'd do it in dos commands. I have a perl script that will probably do the trick, but I'd rather not have to use perl to do this if possible.
