Re: Batch script with condition?

Does TNSPING return different %errorlevel% values depending on whether it succeeded or failed?

Re: Renaming multiple files within folder(s)

Is it always a combination of space|hyphen|space that separates the group from the song title? Can you make sure that this combination exists only once in a file name?

Re: Reading values from Windows registry

It's tricky since M$ removed the tab characters and replaced them by a few space characters in Vista and Win7. I checked this key on my Win7 machine and found that: - all data types are REG_EXPAND_SZ - the value names contain max. two words That code works for me @echo off &setlocal enabledelaye...

Re: Script directory url

You're absolutely right, Dave. But ... there is a SHIFT command. Nothing protects you from a wrong result if you're doing the right things in wrong order :wink:

Code: Select all

@echo off
:: some code
shift
echo %~dp0
pause

Re: Words from a phrase into Variables

It's because you didn't process the variables in the batch file (insert your ECHO commands into the batch code and it would work). Delete " &setlocal enableextensions" to preserve the variables for the calling command prompt. I'm virtually certain you're working with "enabled exte...

Re: Words from a phrase into Variables

Everyone uses "for"... What else? It's the best way I can think. Anyway, where are the a and the b variables? Why a and b? If "phrase" has mor than 26 words you can't handle it. !k used %word#0%, %word#1%, ... instead. In %word% you can find the number of words. If your "ph...

Re: how to save value of a data in regedit in a variable?

What is the name of the value where you want to save the data (or is it the "no name" default value which exists in each key)?

Re: I can't figure it out

Not sure, but try something like that: @echo off &setlocal for /l %%a in (0) do ( for /f %%b in ('dir /a-d /b *.zip 2^>nul') do call :processZip "%%b" ) :processZip echo Do something with %~1 goto :eof for /l %%a in (0) do (... results in an infinite loop. Regards aGerman

Re: Batch file in which is almost everything you need

Don't get me wrong, it was only the way how you shared your code (enclosed into an installer container, need to download another file to get access, calling of a few websites etc.). More than enough stuff to remove your link... If you want help feel free to post your source code (enclosed in code ta...

Re: Batch file in which is almost everything you need

I removed the link above. I would never execute an exe file where nobody knows what it does (except in a sand box). How ever, I had a look at the source code behind the exe file (btw. everybody is able to find it while the exe is running, just look into the %temp% folder ...). I found a horrible &qu...

Re: RockPaperScissors *UPDATE*

First of all delete hiscore.rps. If it exists the default values are not written. Write ECHO redirections in an opposite style. ECHO 0>hiscore.rps tries to redirect the stdIn stream into your file which will fail. Use >hiscore.rps ECHO 0 instead. Also you mistook some variable names, you appended th...

Re: A Lottery Batch file

Hi BatMaster,

for some reason polls don't work in this forum. I'm going to ask the forum owner why.
Writing a lottery code is an old exercise but a good exercise for learning comparisons.

Re: New technic: set /p can read multiple lines from a file

Yeah, that would be interesting. I didn't test the speed because I'm virtually certain my result would be completely different (CPU, RAM ...).
