Re: need to work variables blocked by delayedexpansion (I th

Thanks,

Need for speed is given by the length of the files.... :)

I can't just match on the IP, it needs to be ",%ip%," as parameter for the find to get the matching done right, otherwise .1 matches .1, .10-10 and 100-199 :)

Cheers,

Re: A dos version of unix which command

Not sure why I did that first set statement. You can do the string replacement in the FOR LOOP. Never worry about that. I made a 60 line perl script for a customer about 2 years ago. Some consultant said it was crap and replaced it by a 10 line version, doing the same. Yesterday I found they reused...

Re: Detect if batchfile is launched from explorer or dosprom

Thank you very much for all replies. My motivation for this batch is sheer laziness. I don't want to hit any key to end the script when I run it from the prompt while still adding the pause statement for my colleagues running it from a short-cut. @aGerman I will be chewing on the code you provided t...

Detect if batchfile is launched from explorer or dosprompt

Best Wishes for 2012 to you all. I'm posting this here because I already got a lot of useful information from this site. This however, I found somewhere, else and thought other people may be looking for a similar solution. I've created some batch-files that display various types of info and received...
