I am very impressed! Though I don't understand the code at all (I don't even know how to do it 'by hand').

Re: Tokens do not pass after 31, is there some way that i can pass this limit?

You may get better help if you elaborate more on what form of data extraction you are trying to achieve.
Example data, inputs and outputs go a long way here.

Re: is there a way to implement so called "record" and "field" data structure?

For the sort of use cases you've exampled, the following example show how to use a string as the fieldID to extract the relevant field values. In light of the sort of examples you've included, I've incorporated my menu macro into the script to show a method of referencing the values using a related ...

Re: is there a way to implement so called "record" and "field" data structure?

The below is my own implementation of this type of data structure, and includes a usage case example. Edit: added some more remarks, modified delimiters / field seperators to cope with records containg field values that match fieldIDs within the record. @echo off & setlocal enableExtensions enableDe...

Re: The Daily Calendar Puzzle

Very interesting. My first thought, just as a result if how similar the pieces are to tetriminos, is to make a tetris varient that plays out games until a solution is found. I'm sure there's probably some rules that could be applied to generating piece ordering to make solving faster. If I remember ...

AutoMacro - a function for Macro code generation

After encountering a similar function earlier this week on SS64, and liking the apeal of improved readability without using %\n%, I decided the idea could be expanded on to provide new functionality. Ideas that got incorperated along the way: * Switches to add common use structures to macro definiti...

Re: Progress bar

Nice. Since your using escape sequences, there is another Sequence thats handy for filling space like this - ESC[nX ; where n is the number of spaces to be filled, IE the length of the prograss bar example (the macros are just a convenient way to animate it): @Echo off & Setlocal EnableDelayedExpans...

Re: How to output a range of lines from a text file using findstr

Some interesting Approaches here, but it seems to me it would be simpler to parse the output of findstr with the /V switch and perform conditional checks on the first token token to determine if the line corresponds to the desired ranges - unless the intent is specifically to to support Regex expres...

Each leading-colon-equation token is echo-suppressed in a nested IF too: C:\Test>FOR %$ in ($)do IF :0 == :0 IF :0 == false ECHO C:\Test>IF IF ECHO Reviewing the command parsing behaviour as described on this forum and Stackoverflow, I believe Jeb is bang on the money with regards to the behaviour ...

Re: IF Evaluation Values Are ECHO-Suppressed When Beginning With Colon ":". Why?

Nothing to add on the why, but another finding to add

Using CMD /c to conduct the If operation will show the full command

for testing from the command line:

Code: Select all

@For %G in (":0" "0" "0:")Do cmd /c if %~G==%~G echo [%~G==%~G true]
@For %G in (":0" "0" "0:")Do if %~G==%~G echo [%~G==%~G true]
