How to compare two substrings or measure their length

[Ed Dyreen]

The purpose of SETLOCAL DisableExtensions is to put CMD.EXE into a mode where it attempts to be compatible with the old COMMAND.COM, which did not support GOTO :EOF or EXIT /B. (Among other things)

We used to add :EOF support, by explicit labeling

Code: Select all

@echo off &setlocal disableExtensions

goto :EOF
echo.oopsy

:EOF as label compatible with all Windows OS, must be last block in batch !
echo.lucky luke.

pause
exit

Code: Select all

lucky luke.
