How would I run these 4 commands via a .bat file or via whatever means:
cd c:\test\ReadCodes
c:\test\Program\sqlite3 c:\test\ReadCodes\ReadCode.db"
.output testfile.txt
select * from readcode where read_code glob 'G2*';
It must be simple, but I can't see it.
RBS,
You need to put all your sqlite shell commands in one file, say
sqlitecmds.txt. This includes the dot commands and the SQL statements.
So sqlitecmds.txt contains:
.output testfile.txt
select * from readcode where read_code glob 'G2*';
Then you need to put your DOS shell commands in another file, say
readcode.bat. This file will contain the commnad to run sqlite and
redirect its input to the file of sqlite commnads above. So readcode.bat
contains:
cd c:\test\ReadCodes
c:\test\Program\sqlite3 c:\test\ReadCodes\ReadCode.db < sqlitecmds.txt
Then you tell the DOS shell (actually cmd.exe) to run the commands in
your readcode.bat file by typing the batch file name at the command prompt.
C:\>readcode
This will execute your batch file commands, which will run the sqlite
shell program, which will read and execute the commands in the sqlite
commands file, which will write its output to the file testfile.txt in
the current directory (which will be C:\test\ReadCodes).
