Here is another one created by Aacini on Stackoverflow some years back.

Code: Select all

:wait
timeout /T 1 /NOBREAK > NUL
That script also uses timeout, which was not part of the standard OS for Windows XP.
Yeah, I honestly did not take note of the Windows XP comment. Thanks.

Re: Wait for input

No problem. If you're going to use start, rather do it the correct way as well using the blank title:

Code: Select all

start "" program.exe "%runme%"

Re: Wait for input

That will depend on the executable, does it allow for input at runtime? cmd cannot interact with the executable, so it will simply launch it when you tell it to. Obviously if the program allows parameters, you should be able to run it as program.exe param1 param2 and in some use cases if it accepts ...

Re: Attention: Aacini Re: Resistor color calculator

Thanks Aacini. Your code is now providing the correct values and matches my powershell results. I do get what you are saying about the powershell option not being a "simpler" solution than batch. My comment around the powershell solution was maybe made without looking at the requirements of the topi...

Re: Attention: Aacini Re: Resistor color calculator

@Siberia-Man, thank you for checking up on that. Let me find some more references that to get a conclusive result. Perhaps @Aacini and I just need to focus our results on a single source for comparison. He did provide me with his source, but I am unable to access it due to running an ad-blocker on m...

Re: Attention: Aacini Re: Resistor color calculator

Ok, so I just finished this and did not do optimal testing yet, but I will edit if I find anything particularly wrong. I have not created any decimal system to differentiate between Ohm / K-Ohm / M-Ohm. If you feel that it is something I need to do, then please do let me know. $bds = @{ black = @(0;...

Re: Attention: Aacini Re: Resistor color calculator

Apologies, Aacini. I did not mean the decimals. Just correct data. So if a resistor is +- 1Kohm, we need to match that. Then on number of bands of the resistor to focus on, I see you already catered for 4 and 5 bands, so I will do the same. Give me a few minutes to post mine and also test yours.

Attention: Aacini Re: Resistor color calculator

@Aacini, We can use this topic for the challenge. I suggest the following judging criteria (you can add/remove/change where required: 1. The "must" be pure batch-file and powershell . No external tools/functions allowed. (this is critical else it is cheating :D ) 2. The code needs to be as short as ...
