Hmm, the new code performs slightly worse in my tests. Expanding !%%1:~4095,1! twice might be the reason, although it's a clever way to handle a space at this position.

I'm still trying to address other given feedback without performance impact. :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: :initStrLen :: Computes the number of resulting UTF-16 code units in a string. :: %strLen% str [len] :: str - [ByRef In] Name of the variable ...

This is so impressive

BTW Was this known to work? This would have been my expectation:

So, we define that delayed expansion is enabled but the cmd may gives us the finger
Like if I go to a hardware store to buy an 8mm nut, but the shop assistant decides that I only get one if I can show the matching screw
Got it. Thanks!

Yes, of course, I fully understand why it works ... not 🤪🥴
I get why you use !=! since this can't ever be a defined variable. However what puzzles me is why it even makes any difference if it comes before the caret (or after it, as this seems to work too).
Anyway, I just accept it

I would never have thought of that
FWIW You could also update this in your previous codes. When you're logged in, you'll see an edit button (pencil) at the top of each of your posts. (Although it doesn't matter if not. The content of the strLen macro is not affected, only its initialization.)

Your HEX magic is incredible :lol: Also for short strings it's now only negligibly slower. The performance gain for longer string is remarkable though. That's how I'm going to save it into my tool collection: :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: :initStrLe...

but I assumed there were no quotes for the variable That's a fair assumption. We can just remark it in the macro description as this is our contract with the user :wink: I hadn't noticed the reduction with "FOR %%H IN (FEDCBA9876543210)" Everything that comes before the "set StrLen=..." will not be...

@pieh-ejdsch Thanks, got it now. I didn't consider that both expansion steps are performed, %%? to !! and !! to an empty string. And I would've expected it throws a syntax error due to a missing comparison operand in this case. (I know, reading is fun, it's all already explained over there https://s...

At first glance this seems to be faster for strings >= 256 characters and slower if for strings is < 256 characters. I have to dig deeper when I have a little more time. Especial because I don't get why %%? must be > ' for SETLOCAL and < ' for ENDLOCAL. At the moment that doesn't make any sense to m...

(Only yesterday I deleted most of my test codes to make room on my desktop again :lol: No problem as I published it here as well...) Hmm, I can't see any noticeable differences yet. Not even if I raise the number of iterations from 1,000 to 10,000. Perhaps If I increase them even more? The updated m...

As en-US is probably the fallback, you could run a quick loop to get what system apps and libraries are not localized. @echo off >"missing_mui.txt" ( for %%i in ("%systemroot%\system32\en-us\*.mui") do ( if not exist "%systemroot%\system32\sl-si\%%~nxi" echo %%~ni ) ) I assume the MUI files directly...

If I check the language folders in C:\Windows\System32\ then I have 1781 files in the en-US folder and 1715 files in the de-DE (German) folder. They both contain the cmd.exe.mui file for the localized messages of the cmd.exe. Along with a lot more language folders, I also have a sl-SI folder with on...

- What exactly you did to get this listing? I really used Copilot. Recent versions of Edge should have a button in the top right corner to open it. I didn't explicitly ask for the Slovenian translation. Instead I entered something like "What are localized messages of the PAUSE command in cmd.exe?" ...

That's a case where I already appreciate Copilot and AI friends :lol: English Press any key to continue . . . German Drücken Sie eine beliebige Taste . . .
