Re: Why this code don't work?

The output i want is the output of typeperf when lanched in a command prompt window We can understand that. The first two line don't needed I'll interpret this as "the first two lines are not needed." Try this from command line: for /f "skip=2 delims=" %a in ('typeperf "\Pr...

Re: DOS and VBScript - A Better Interaction?

I only use the best: assembly language! More than 25 years ago I wrote several small programs as auxiliary commands for Batch files. They were really small files, less than 400 bytes the majority. For example, below is my GetKey program that read a key from keyboard and return its Ascii code via ER...

I think this will meet your needs. @echo off title [ + DAILY BACKUP TO THUMBDRIVE + ] set "dateNow=%date:~4,2%-%date:~7,2%-%date:~10,4%" ECHO dateNow = %dateNow% PAUSE ::remove ECHO and PAUSE lines if output is the one desired. ::LINE 1) - Backup Folder-<mo-day-yr>:: md e:\%dateNow% ::LINE...

Re: Why this code don't work?

What exactly did you want as output?

I'm not acquainted to TYPEPERF, but a brief reading on a website made me wonder what you expected.

Re: Copy File:If Empty Or Not Exists - NOTIFY- If Exists - C

That's right - I can't understand neither description nor code. Here's my bet anyway: @echo off ::define your variables pushd "%SourcePath%"||(echo "SourcePath" is not defined.&pause&exit /b) for /f "tokens=1,2" %%a in ('dir *.dat') do if /i "%%b" == &...

Re: Fun (or perhaps not) with COPY and wild cards

You're right, Dave. I hadn't tested that until now, and it works the way you said.
Unexpected, I must say.

Re: ~ PROXY SWITCHER ~

Not sure why you continue to spell out the whole REG ADD. Make that whole line a variable or just put it in with your START %key% command. Your %key% variable could just be the IP address and port. Sounds like a good time saver Squash .. Can u give me an example so I wont have to copy and paste in ...

Re: Fun (or perhaps not) with COPY and wild cards

It's true that COPY presented a strange behaviour when copying a*.txt to test*.txt - at least to my eyes. "test*.txt" used a wildcard as well, so COPY was supposed to create test1.txt, test2.txt, and test3.txt.

Re: .exe dos based program that contains menu won't open

phyxe, try running this .exe directly from command line. The cmd window should not close at all, and you must be able to see the error message, if there is one.

The problem is more likely what foxi said, it must be a third party application that doesn't exist on the new pc.
