Honestly I don't even expect latin letters to be present on every keyboard. Thinking of cyrillic or greek keyboard layouts for example. Maybe you'll have luck with 0-9 which should be at least more likely to exist than A-Z.

Whoa Apparently I totally lost track of this thread, sorry.

Is it just me, or is there a lot less of that batch mastery these days? As I think of it, it's been a while since I saw much of it.

I'm under the same impression. Batch is going to get kicked out by PowerShell.

Microsoft documented how file system redirection is implemented:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/window ... redirector
Maybe this sheds some light on it.

Your batch file should be running in the 64bit cmd.exe process automatically on a 64bit system (unless you do funny business like wrapping it into a 32bit bat2exe thingy, or you changed the PATH environment to look for system tools in the SysWOW64 folder first). Thus, it should also find the right m...

Thanks for the update. I haven't had any good idea since manyfold things can prevent you to get this working. Just a side note if you want to tell the developer - every GUI process can attach the console window of the parent process in order to make it a console program, too. I find it a bad design ...

Thanks for your feedback @lazna! Yeah, I didn't expect the tool to be much faster than others. The algorithms are more or less always the same. I just tried to be smart by avoiding memory allocations and by using a lookup array. However, the improvement is likely only a few milliseconds in the end. ...

A few days ago @lazna asked for a tool to convert a HEX string to text. So, I wrote a few lines in C. Pass the HEX string as argument to hextostr.exe. The converted text is written to the standard output stream. The lightweight 32 bit executable is highly liberal in what it accepts. Every found pair...

I tested the script with your files and it seems to just insert the line as expected. However, I have really no idea what you tried to tell about red to yellow and yellow to red. Did you mean the highlighting that your editor performs? I'm asking because highlighting is always specific to used edito...

Probably something about like that: @echo off &setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion for %%i in (*.xml) do ( <"%%~i" set /p "firstLine=" >"%%~i.~tmp" echo !firstLine! >>"%%~i.~tmp" echo ^<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="survey.xsl"?^> >>"%%~i.~tmp" more +1 "%%i" move /y "%%~i.~tmp" "%%i" ) Note: Don...

Reverse the sorting (newest folder first) and bail out when the folder containing the zip file is found. Untested: FOR /F "delims=" %%i IN ('dir "%remotesource%\%plannum%\shared" /b /ad-h /t:c /o-d') DO ( IF EXIST "%remotesource%\%plannum%\shared\%%i\A591\*_%flavr%_*.zip" ( SET "newfld=%%i" GOTO :en...

I'm using JREPL on Win 11 without any problems. If you have issues please elaborate on how to reproduce them.

Steffen

My bad, sorry. I added the START command because people usually ask for asynchronous processing of several files

Steffen

Something about like that: Note that the batch code receives the whole path for each file. At some point (depending on the length of the path) you will exceed the maximum length of a command line if you drop too many files.

Steffen

Making the section detection a little more robust (in terms of additional spaces), but also more weak. @echo off &setlocal set "inifile=config.ini" set "section=DelayWakeUp" set "key=TimeUP" setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion set "inSection=" <"!inifile!" ( for /f %%i in ('type "!inifile!"^|find /c /v ...
