I gave it a try with a very small file (in my world) of 25,012 lines and a line length of 1026. I ran it with an EOL of LF and received the ERROR: Invalid file format. I then ran the file through an EOL Converter and changed the EOL to CRLF. Ran the batch file again and received the same ERROR: Inva...

That is precisely the expected behavior. The whole point is to determine what will be executed if an attempt is made to invoke a given executable such as "notepad" from the current directory. I suppose that does make sense. For some reason I was thinking he did want to find the paths to a...

Hi Dave, I will give this a try at work tomorrow. Lots of code to look at and I wan't to make sure I understand it. I was just thinking about using the Modulus to figure out if the record length is correct. set /A numlines=%filesize%%%%(%linelength%+2) example: set /A temp=100000%(998+2) This would ...

I believe they want the XML code written to the file %%L\%%L.DVD.DISC

Shouldn't this code find the file in all directories within your path? It only seems to find it in the first directory within the path. @ECHO OFF SETLOCAL ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION SET NAMEEXT=!PATHEXT:.=%1.! FOR %%N IN (%NAMEEXT%) DO IF NOT "%%~$PATH:N" == "" ECHO %%~$PATH:N Notep...

I have always been partial to WHEREIS

Getting a little further along now that I am at work I am now testing with a file of 1026 bytes and it seems to work regardless of the EOL being a CRLF or just a LF. Problem is I am never stripping the Number and Colon that the FINDSTR command adds yet my length count comes out to 1026. I have no cl...

Not sure why I did that first set statement. You can do the string replacement in the FOR LOOP.

I think you would want to do it this way.

And as I learned just not too long ago from Dave, the SET /P option limits the user input to 1024 characters. With a minimum of 150 words you could easily hit that limit.

You might be better off with a VBscript option.

I guess I just use it mostly for the /D option.

What if we did something like this in a function. findstr /n . "testfile.txt" | findstr "^1:" &GOTO :EOF When you execute this code it outputs the first line pretty quickly and then exits. Not sure if this can be implemented into a For Loop and still get the first line captur...
