Need help on how to start with this batch program

[sceneguy]

hello,

here is the background.(you may skip this :YAWN

I have created a command line sequence for taking out the audio and video stream(s) from a mpeg-ts file and muxing into mkv for portability reasons.here are the steps that are involved. For this i already have a file called test.ts
in a folder called d:\recording\test.ts

I check for the file name(in this case test.ts)

1. First step i do is move the file from d:\recording\test.ts to d:\eac3to\test.ts using Command Prompt

2. I use eac3to to demux video to video.mkv and audio to audio.aac

3.move audio.aac and video.mkv to d:\mkvtoolnix\ and mux to output.mkv to the folder d:\outputfolder\output.mkv
using mkvmerge

4.i check if the output.mkv is ok and then delete test.ts(source file).I also delete audio.aac and video.mkv

Now i wanna automate this process.I want the system to ask me the name of the file located in d:\recording and also the output file name.Then it should do all the above process and after its done,ask me if the file is good,if i say yes,it should delete all the temp files..

i`m not asking for a complete .bat file here.i want a set of commands that may come in handy.

regards
sceneguy


NS:all the above steps are done to work 100% manually.looking for a way to automate the process.

thanks

You are not saying whether the batch is for a linux or windows process??

But I will presume windows command line .. This would be a simple structure but you would have to know what the return codes are from each program you run upon completion or failure.

IF ERRORLEVEL 255 GOTO Label255
IF ERRORLEVEL 254 GOTO Label254
   ?
   ?
   ?
IF ERRORLEVEL   2 GOTO Label2
IF ERRORLEVEL   1 GOTO Label1
GOTO Label0

:Label255
(commands to be executed at errorlevel 255)
GOTO End

   ?
   ?
   ?

:Label1
(commands to be executed at errorlevel 1)
GOTO End

:Label0
(commands to be executed at errorlevel 0, or no errorlevel)

:End

@Lock Down : Sorry for not mentioning platform.Its windows. The commands always will be success.(99%).How to make it execute the next command after the previous one process has closed?

Thanks for your time.

You can move files using the move command like this:

move /-y "d:\recording\test.ts" "d:\eac3to\"

Check if the output is there/okay using this:

if exist "d:\mkvtoolnix\output.mkv" (
echo Everyting is OK!
) else (
echo Error, failed!
)

hey one more thing,is it possible to use a for loop to see if the extension is a .ts . then do the same process till all files have been exausted/deleted?
