You run an antivirus program without understanding it, I'm sure. You probably run dozens of utility programs without seeing the code. It is in my nature, that I always try to understand code. Not satisfied if have long code which I do not know how it works. Better to know it, to make own way next t...

Yeah, it is for one off task, not regular. And I must understand things before I run them. But this seems too complicated. I would like to simplify it. It seems to me the u2d.com is not necessary. There are no poison characters in description, only slash "/" possibility. But the slash is n...

Would it be possible to save the output of command to variable instead to > "temp.tmp"?

I thought that this operator > is used to write data to some file. So why should not this overwrite the u2d.com ? It gives no sense to me.

Hello, I have files *.html like "Collection-396.html". Every file contains description which is like "<title>Aasiaat (BGAA)</title>". Is any way how to get the title, for example "Aasiaat (BGAA)" and to rename the html filenames to their titles? So the resulting file wo...

I originally thought that this command is working correctly, rename %%x\BG_AD_3_BG*.pdf _*.pdf but not. Probably, when I tested it, I missed something. Edit - foxidrive: Just little change to actual situation in my directory: pushd "C:/program files/GnuWin32/bin" for /f "delims="...

Yet I wanted to rename the files, and tried it this way: for /r ".\www.slv.dk\Dokumenter\dsweb\Get" %%x in (.) do rename "%%~x\_K_ENR_*.pdf" _*.pdf ::for /r ".\www.slv.dk\Dokumenter\dsweb\Get" %%x in (.) do rename %%x\EK_ENR_*.pdf _*.pdf But none of this works. When I r...

Thank you. Thats great!

Hello, I try to be as sort as possible. I try to do some code in batch and cmd.exe (running Windows). Nwo I try the basic: I try to echo subdirectories listed in a folder. for /r %%x in (.\www.slv.dk\Dokumenter\dsweb\Get) do echo "%%x\" This should list the directories in Get folder. I kno...
