How to input variables into .bat file

[Amishman]

I'm having trouble puting the variables from uTorrent into a .bat file that contains my Filebot script.

This is the command I have in the "Run this Program" in uTorrent.

Code: Select all

"C:\Rm_Finished_Torrents\Rm.Finished.Torrents.exe" "C:\Rm_Finished_Torrents\Filebot_Rename.bat" "%D" "%F" "%K" "%N" "%L" "%S"

The .exe just removes the torrent from uTorrent when it is finished downloading.

This is the Filebot script in the .bat file.

Code: Select all

filebot.launcher -script fn:amc --output "G:/" --log-file amc.log --action move --conflict override -non-strict --def "seriesFormat=TV/{n}/{'Season '+s.pad (1)}/{s00e00} {t}/{n} {s00e00} {t}" "movieFormat=New Movies/{n} ({y}) {\"[$vf]\"}/{n} ({y})" --def clean=y --def plex=localhost "ut_dir=%1" "ut_file=%2" "ut_kind=%3" "ut_title=%4" "ut_label=%5" "ut_state=%6"

This is the Logger tab information.

[2014-01-11 22:38:37] Executing: "C:\Rm_Finished_Torrents\Rm.Finished.Torrents.exe" "C:\Rm_Finished_Torrents\Filebot_Rename.bat" "C:\Users\Amishman\Downloads\City of Angels (1998)" "City.of.Angels.1998.BRRip.x264.AAC.m-H.D.mkv" "multi" "City of Angels (1998)" "" "5"

This is my amc.log

The directory is getting split into the other variables. If I run the script from the CLI, with the supplied variables from uTorrent, the script runs perfect. How can I enter variables into the .bat so it does not get split up?

You'll have to look into .bat scripting in detail then. It's not passing in arguments as you'd like. In the debugging output there's even '...' so the ' characters are literally passed in somehow by cmd for some reason.

You'll just have to play with it and figure out how to work windows cmd.

Hi Amishman,

I'm not quite sure I understand what you're chasing, but if you're having trouble with determining the parameters it passes, maybe this can help you a little in your troubleshooting?

I was running into similar issues with folders that had spaces in the name, as I was just setting up FileBot with my utorrent 2 days ago and just got it working yesterday.

I believe the variables that you have in your BAT are messing up (the "ut_dir=%1" "ut_file=%2", etc) possibly because of quotes. I don't think anything but the %1 ("%D" in utorrent) variable are of any use to FileBot itself, so you can likely just exclude those from the FileBot command (which is what I did).

Here are snippets from my utorrent run program string and also my BAT file code that is working:

Utorrent run program (username omitted):

Code: Select all

"C:\Users\{username}\Documents\uTorrent Script\FilebotRenamerScript.bat" "%D" "%N" "%L" "%K" "%F"

FilebotRenamerScript.bat (snippets):
I set the variables manually, before actually calling FileBot

Code: Select all

rem Define variables
set ut_dir=%1
set ut_title=%2
set ut_label=%3
set ut_kind=%4
set ut_file=%5

(Cut out the fluff code, as I have my BAT file doing other operations as well)

Notice, no quotes around the %ut_dir% variable when it is being called in the script...

Code: Select all

"C:\Program Files\FileBot\filebot.exe" -script fn:amc --output "E:\FileBot_Test\Output" --conflict override -non-strict --def artwork=n clean=y backdrops=n "seriesFormat=TV/{n}/{n} - Season {s}/{n.space('.')}.{s.pad(2)}x{e.pad(2)}.-.{t.space('.')}" "movieFormat=Movies/{n} ({y})" %ut_dir% --action copy

This code is working for me (even folders with spaces in the name)
