aspenjim Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 I have been working on a batch file to keep antivirus def's up to date for CLI scanning. I've managed to get the info in a couple of xml files, but need to glean one line in each of them and insert the text into my batch file... <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?> - <response>- <return> <code>0</code> <desc>Valid key</desc> </return>- <servers> <item weight="10">srv3.directupdates.f-prot.net</item> <item weight="1">files.directupdates.f-prot.net</item> </servers>- <components>- <item type="deffile"> <name>antivir.def</name> <path>/files/defs/v.6/20090724-1439-9c1722e1078540975dd26505a1e775f8/antivir.def</path> - <uniqid> <item type="defid">200907241350b1f2eda5b9dce3692bea07b283f093ef</item> <item type="md5">3adf20033f9d7654d1de9fca2a365e64</item> <item type="sha1">d8fe7d15f9534ceb31f84083a02c2c34f5b5e34c</item> <item type="size">40361941</item> </uniqid> </item> </components> <programversion /> <timestamp utime="1248474272">2009-06-24 22:24:32</timestamp> </response>In this case, I want this line.../files/defs/v.6/20090724-1439-9c1722e1078540975dd26505a1e775f8/antivir.defto be concatenated to my batch file as it changes every day.Would someone mind making a suggestion as to how I can accomplish this?TIA.. aj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcarle Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 Any reason why it has to be a batch file? Perhaps you could write something simple using VBScript instead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aspenjim Posted August 4, 2009 Author Share Posted August 4, 2009 Cuz I don't know VB. I can barely do a batch script with download.exe and wget.exe. They work great though for what I need. I've had one that I've tweaked for years now.I don't know how to start learning how to make VB scripts but am willing to learn.Thanks...btw i think i used your batch script once upon a time to download windows updates.
