I like the community here, and I don't want to change forums. But I'd like a Bash section, since I usually am not on Windows.
Maybe have it as like a sub-section or something, or at least a sticky thread for it? Plz? ◕‿‿◕

You need to provide more specific info, such as: what are you searching? - a file? text in a variable? directory file names? what type of search(es) are you trying to do? - regular expression? simple string match? what have you tried that failed?, hopefully distilled down to the essentials of the p...

WBAT: Dialog boxes for DOS batch: menus, buttons, input fields, checkboxes, radio buttons, list selection

rob's a popular guy, nice site too, so nice I am going to steal some of it.

Meh, I still would rather use HTA files, because I can do all of that natively.

No. I disagree. No one has the IP address 0.0.0.0.

Hello I wanted to know how I should go about a line of code that causes my batch file to freeze for x amount of seconds. I am extremely new to batch so please elaborate on how it can be done and how it works please and thanks! Stop false-leading him, everyone. Just simply use: ping 0 -n 5 > nul &qu...

You can program a GUI natively. By using HTA files, you can code literally any application you want. You just have to know either JScript or VBScript to go along with it.

I never new that. Now I know what to do when I see it.

Such a small little (!). .-.

It should say like "Report" on it or something.

-_- Is Assembly really the only one you noticed? Did you miss the C++ and Batch example? Actually, I noticed, although I am ignorant of any C language and don't know assembly . Assembly has always fascinated me but I have never had the time to learn. I don't know Assembly, either. But I know a lot ...

I AM NEW TO BAT SCRIPT WORLD. MY SCRIPT DOES NOT WANT TO WORK. MY BAT SCRIPT HAS TO start from a path and RECURSIVELY SEARCH ALL THE FILES OF TYPE .TXT THAT HAS THE WORD "MYWORD!" AND WRITE THEIR NAMES TO A LOG FILE. This seems like trollish spam, but I will take it seriously. @echo off d...

There is no point in explaining the question in assembly.

My point was exactly what I said before it, that you never need to use the colon when "going to" a tag.

No, I'm not talking about the one connected to your anus, moron! That wasn't that funny... And you never need the colon with tags. Assembly org 100h tag: mov ah, 09h mov dx, msg int 21 jmp tag C++ #include <iostream> int main() { tag: std::cout << "hi"; goto tag; } Batch @echo off :tag ec...

Sorry, but now I'm unsure if I misunderstood your requirement. i need to delet all computer audio video exextensions What does it mean? Do you want to delete each audio or video file? Or does it mean that you want to delete the associations of the file extensions in your registry? Please clarify. R...

Because Batch is Windows, and then Linux and Mac both use Bash. Which isn't too different. But I think it would just be neat to have this. OR. A section for suggesting ideas. #!/bin/bash function getRan { ran=$(($RANDOM % $1 + 1)); } function check { input=$(($input)); if [ $input \> $ran ]; then ec...

Sure it would not, 64bit version of Windows have NTVDM emulator removed, and this means no COM files support, as well as any 16bit windows executables. However this could be bypassed using dosbox to launch 16 bit application, but it would be tricky, since dosbox isnt native system application like ...
