Re: Problems working a script
The fact that you're saying that you haven't gotten it suggests to me that you have some way of validating the solution, and so this feels a bit like homework. Depending on your teacher's standards and whether or not you just didn't format the code when you pasted it in here, I could argue that ever...

Re: Is it worth learning Powershell?
I will just add this: I think PS is very good for (some?) admin repetive tasks (why I wrote 'some?'? - because I don't take care of servers but this is based on what I read so I don't have such experiences). I use PS almost daily for some special task: I have (my customer really) 150+ Excel files. ...

Re: variables as paths to run?
The /p flag is only meant for prompting the user for input, and you only need quotes around the assignment, not on each side of the equals sign - this isn't an if statement. set "windeployqt6=c:\Qt\6.6.0\mingw_64\bin\windeployqt6.exe" set "sourceDir=c:\Qt\Projects\Sources\game_test" set "appPath=c:\...

Re: Variable inside an IF not showing correctly
If you're seeing !variable! instead of its actual value, then you're missing setlocal enabledelayedexpansion from your script. If you're seeing !variable! and its value, then you need to add @echo off to the top of your script.

Re: is there a DOS command for running a program with windows 98 compatibility?
That's the entire command; there's nothing else.

Re: is there a DOS command for running a program with windows 98 compatibility?
Traditionally you right-click the application, go to Properties, go to the Compatibility tab, and pick the version you want compatibility with.
Windows 11 doesn't let you go older than Vista, so you may want to check out https://pcem-emulator.co.uk/ instead.

Re: cmd window only displays 16 colors with O/S reinstall
There's a registry setting you'll have to change because it's not enabled by default: https://superuser.com/a/1300251
Code: Select all
REG ADD HKCU\CONSOLE /f /v VirtualTerminalLevel /t REG_DWORD /d 1

Re: cmd window only displays 16 colors with O/S reinstall
It almost sounds like you installed an older version of Windows that doesn't support VT100 sequences.

Re: How to interrupt script by closing the CMD window with any key?
Well you need to press any key twice because the first key ends the timeout command and the second key ends the pause command.
Very odd that timeout doesn't care about the w key though.

Re: avoid trailing space when piping to CLIP
The interpreter moves things around before it gets executed, so the line that actually gets run is
You can see this by running your line by itself in a script with no @echo off
Code: Select all

Re: Wrong Color of texts
In my experience, people choosing custom colors in the options is extremely rare (in the thirty-odd years that I've been using a computer, you're the only person I've ever heard of who's actually done it). I wouldn't worry too much about other people changing their colors. Also, it isn't possible to...

Re: Wrong Color of texts
Correct, the values of the color command are indices of the array of colors that are normally set in the registry, which you've changed in your settings.
