Re: ☺?♥♠a♀???☻?☻ for weirdness ♠☺??↨??$error = 7 niet vind Hi Ed, I see two of your standard problems here.  - First the sample is not small - And the sample is not complete Try to build a SMALL sample ( less than 500 lines, lets say 5 lines) Try this today for a happy crash Code: FOR %%A (1) DO (
echo %%~

Re: ☺?♥♠a♀???☻?☻ for weirdness ♠☺??↨??$error = 7 niet vind ☺ why doesn't it works on XP I need this for an unattended installation batch, I can't fix something that has to be fixed .

Re: ☺?♥♠a♀???☻?☻ for weirdness ♠☺??↨??$error = 7 niet vind Hi Ed, retested with XP32 (in a vm-box) Yes, you are right , it fails ... sometimes I build a loop Code: @echo off
setlocal
set count=1
:loop
for /f "usebackq tokens=1-26 delims=' " %%a in ( '$var, 0, 999' ) do echo.a=%%a b=%%b c=%%c
set /a count+=1
if %count% leq 50 goto :loop
Now it fails one or two times out of 50. But the cause seems to be the ' character. If I change it to " and remove the usebackq it works always Code: @echo off
setlocal
set count=1
:loop
for /f "tokens=1-26 delims=," %%a in ( "$var,0,999" ) do echo( %count% a=%%a b=%%b c=%%c
set /a count+=1
if %count% leq 50 goto :loop

Re: ☺?♥♠a♀???☻?☻ for weirdness ♠☺??↨??$error = 7 niet vind ☺ jeb to the resque  Code: @echo off &setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
for /f "tokens=1-26 delims=, " %%a in ( "$var, 0, 999" ) do echo.a=%%a_ b=%%b_ c=%%c_
pause
exit /b
result: a=$var_ b=0_ c=999_Druk op een toets om door te gaan. . . 
I assume my assumption that this must be a cmd v2 bug is correct ?
Then I wonder if I could replace XP's cmd with vista's cmd ?
It's a good thing the comma vanishes, but why ?
And did you notice ? Code: %@forç% ( '$var, 0, 999' ) %@GetRandom% @GetRandom is executed 3 times ! '$var : 0 [ok]
0 : 0 [ok]
999' : 0 [ok]and %%a is shifting once for every execution ! I wonder if this effect can be turned to our advantage..Now I can finally use AutoIT style functions %@forTF% ( '@forç, @Testforçmacro, $This, "$Works", "This Works"' ) %@CallMacro%

Re: ☺?♥♠a♀???☻?☻ for weirdness ♠☺??↨??$error = 7 niet vind viewtopic.php?f=3&t=1970&p=8581&hilit=usebackq#p8581Quote: I only recommend using usebackq if you're reading text from a file with a path that contains spaces, or special characters. Quotation marks toggle the command interpreter's processing of special characters irregardless of where you do it, so it's good to have them for string processing too.

Re: ☺?♥♠a♀???☻?☻ for weirdness ♠☺??↨??$error = 7 niet vind ☺ I've had to do quite an effort to get it working the way I wanted on XP: Code: set "@forU=set "?=" &( for %%^^^! in"
set "@Udelim=do set "?=^^^!?^^^!¦%%^^^!" ) &set "?=^^^!?:*¦=^^^!" &set "?=^^^!?:~1,-1^^^!" &for /f "tokens=1-26 delims=¦" %%a in ( "^^^!?^^^!" ) do"
::
%@forU% ( '$Debug, "This Works"' ) %@Udelim% echo. a=%%a_ &echo. b=%%b_
set ^"@PushArray=!@Udelim! ( %$n1c%
echo. a=%%a_ %$n1c%
echo. b=%%b_ %$n1c%
)"
::
%@forU% ( '$Debug, "This Works"' ) %@PushArray%
Finally, I've got what I wanted.

Re: ☺?♥♠a♀???☻?☻ for weirdness ♠☺??↨??$error = 7 niet vind ☺ I can't give the full code to prove my statement, as it is too much and too complex. Unlike most people I only have one function, it's a function that pasts macro's together so I can get past the 8k limit. It looks something like: Code: (
Endlocal
%$for% ( %$param% ) %$macro%
)
Unlike with jeb the for either always fails or it never fails and prints some weird output to the screen. ☺??↨??$error = 7 niet vinden. That's all, it's an annoyance nothing more because it doesn't affects the batch in any way, and it can simply be ignored. But it's weird. I discovered it can be suppressed if I add an echo before and after the call, not just any echo will do the trick it matters how many characters are being echoed aswell ! I've never seen this before, and I assume noone has. Doing something like this seems to solve it. Changing the function requires recalibration of the number of chars in the echo command. Code: >nul echo.çomm
:breakif () %=InDirect call=%
::(
if %$Direct% neq 0 goto :breakif "()"
::
%@DdefEcho% !$for! ( !$param! ) %%$macro%% &%@pause%
::
(
Endlocal
%$for% ( %$param% ) %$macro%
)
::
%@DequForT% ( "returned from indirect" ) %@21necho_#AsDLT%
%@DequPause%
::
goto :fin "()"
:breakif () %=Direct call=%
::(
%@DdefEcho% %%$macro%% &%@pause%
::
(
Endlocal
%$macro%
)
::
%@DequForT% ( "returned from direct" ) %@21necho_#AsDLT%
%@DequPause%
::
:fin ()
::)
>nul echo.çomm
Now is that weird or is that weird ! Definitly a cmd v2 bug, too bad I am the only one who is having problems with it.

Re: ☺?♥♠a♀???☻?☻ for weirdness ♠☺??↨??$error = 7 niet vind That is an ugly intermittent XP bug  Sometimes my XP machine is in a mode where it doesn't show up. Other times it shows up every time. Using nested FOR loops seemed to be one trigger that causes it to show up on my machine. Since Ed is constantly using FOR loops with his macros, I'm not surprised he sees it a lot. With a casual Google search I found only one other reference to it from 2006. http://groups.google.com/group/alt.msdo ... d6acf87c79jeb wrote: But the cause seems to be the ' character.

Actually the problem is the naked , within the IN () clause. I am also able to reproduce the problem if the IN () clause contains ; = or space. I assume it can also fail with a tab character. I think you can safely use USEBACKQ as long as the offending characters are either escaped or enclosed within double quotes "". I've yet to see it fail under these circumstances. Code: @echo off
setlocal enableextensions enabledelayedexpansion
for /f "usebackq eol=, tokens=1-26 delims=,;= " %%a in ('a,b,c') do @echo('a,b,c' -^> a=%%a b=%%b c=%%c
for /f "usebackq eol=, tokens=1-26 delims=,;= " %%a in ('a;b;c') do @echo('a;b;c' -^> a=%%a b=%%b c=%%c
for /f "usebackq eol=, tokens=1-26 delims=,;= " %%a in ('a=b=c') do @echo('a=b=c' -^> a=%%a b=%%b c=%%c
for /f "usebackq eol=, tokens=1-26 delims=,;= " %%a in ('a b c') do @echo('a b c' -^> a=%%a b=%%b c=%%c
for /f "usebackq eol=, tokens=1-26 delims=,;= " %%a in ('"a,b,c"') do @echo('"a,b,c"' -^> a=%%a b=%%b c=%%c

for /f "usebackq eol=, tokens=1-26 delims=,;= " %%a in ('"a b c"') do @echo('"a b c"' -^> a=%%a b=%%b c=%%c
for /f "usebackq eol=, tokens=1-26 delims=,;= " %%a in ('a^,b^,c') do @echo('a^^,b^^,c' -^> a=%%a b=%%b c=%%c
for /f "usebackq eol=, tokens=1-26 delims=,;= " %%a in ('a^;b^;c') do @echo('a^^;b^^;c' -^> a=%%a b=%%b c=%%c
for /f "usebackq eol=, tokens=1-26 delims=,;= " %%a in ('a^=b^=c') do @echo('a^^=b^^=c' -^> a=%%a b=%%b c=%%c
for /f "usebackq eol=, tokens=1-26 delims=,;= " %%a in ('a^ b^ c') do @echo('a^^ b^^ c' -^> a=%%a b=%%b c=%%c

Perhaps it's the combination between ' and usebackq, that trigger this problem. Perhaps... But the intermittent behavior reminds me of C programming bugs dealing with bad or unitialized pointers and/or memory over-runs. In those cases the resulting bizarre behavior often has no obvious relevance to the actual bug. I'm thinking the file access message is simply an unfortunate side effect of the underlying bug in XP CMD.EXE. Dave Benham

I also managed to get the bug using a <tab> character as predicted (not shown) I really think the XP FOR /F bug only manifests itself when the parser encounters unescaped / unquoted token delimiters within the IN () clause. Dave Benham

I think you could be right. Sometimes the parser seems to be unsure what is a text and what is a file. Code: FOR /f "delims=" %%a in ("one two" ) do echo %%a
FOR /f "delims=" %%a in ("one two" three ) do echo %%a [quote="out]one two The file "one two" three" can't be found.[/quote] jeb
