Hello, I'm getting a strange issue with the REG command. If I run the REG command from a batch file, regardless of the syntax, the file will freeze, causing me to have to Control-C my way out, press the red X multiple times, or end the CMD.EXE processes from Task Manager. If I press the red X, the f...

Make the first occurrence of ">>" be ">". This means that it will make the file, instead of append to a file that does not exist. It doesn't matter if the file doesn't exist, both ">" and ">>" will create the file if it doesn't exist. By the way, this is a ba...

Thank you! I was not aware that the CALL command's help menu had this information.

Hello,

I am curious about what the variables %1-%9 mean/do in a batch file. I understand that %0 is the name of the file, but that's about it.

Thanks for any help!

There is no sensible way to tell even an expert how to "fix it". You have not said what you did and what you want to fix. You failed to give a relevant link to "AlleyPuppy's post", and on a hunch I looked at m and used Firefox Search but found no "system32". You have b...

This is easily solved using * representing the remainder of the line, disregarding any delimiters. @ECHO OFF SET NTWK=\\computer1\folder1$\folder2 FOR /F "TOKENS=1,* DELIMS=\" %%a IN ('ECHO %NTWK%') DO SET "HOST=%%a" & set "SHARE=%%b" ECHO HOST=%HOST% ECHO SHARE=%S...

Hello, I have a question about delimiters in a FOR /F loop. I'm trying to extract the host name and share name from a previously specified network path (\\server\share). I can extract the server/host name using the following command: SET NTWK=\\computer1\folder1$ FOR /F "TOKENS=1 DELIMS=\"...

You can create batch files that do specific things and then place them in the System32 folder. For instance, you can create a command that deletes your internet cookies by making a batch file that contains something like this: @ECHO OFF IF EXIST "%APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Cookies" (PUSHD...

Hello. I am trying to figure out if a network share exists through CMD. I had a few ideas of how to do this, but all seem to fail. First I tried C:\>IF EXIST \\[computername]\[share[$]] ECHO Exists but this does not work. Then I tried connecting to just the computer (no share name) using NET USE and...

That would be great, I tried something similar in the past:

Code: Select all

< "file.TMP" set /p $str=
echo.$str=%$str%_

Hmmm... that works, but what if the command prompts you to do something? It is only shown after the command completes.

Oops! Sorry, I meant host name, not hist name. And since the two computers aren't on the same network, you cannot use the host name because the host name is used in LAN environments only. If you want to connect to your work computer from home, just use LogMeIn (m). It's basically Remote Desktop for ...

Do you mean use the host name instead of the IP Address to connect to a computer? You can use the hist name instead of the IP Address.

And two computers cannot have the same host name on the same network.

I know this works on Windows XP. If you are using Windows Vista/7 andd it doesn't work, post a reply and I'll fix it.

Is it possible to redirect the output of a command to a file and still read the output of the command in the CMD window as it's executing? I know you can redirect output using [command] > [file] or [command] >> [file] but it always nullifies the output on the screen. Thanks for any help!
