I didn't understand a thing Jeb wrote.

I tried to learn how to make/use macros. No luck. A 'macro for dummies' should be posted by someone who can do it.

2B OR NOT 2B=FF

Looks like wmic returns an extra empty line and this is what you get.

Maybe you could add /I to the IF statement.

Same goes for other IF statements.

Aacini's solutions are always so clever and short. I'm speechless.

Thanks Jeb!

@jeb: your solution does not work. I have ( and ) in my data so I get

Thanks.

After the 'text' there is a space. Strange.

I'm surprised you aren't using VBScript for that Easy answer: because I don't 'speak' VBScript. I must say that PS (ImportExcel cmd-let) does the job but I am always open for new (faster?) options. Update: did some searching: there are ome VBScripts. I only have to export *one* column to csv. Saso

If you need this data in a file then makecab/expand solution might work for you. 1. Create a .cab file that contains your file. 2. Create a dump of this .cab file (for example with https://www.dostips.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=14361#p14361) 3. And copy/paste the code in https://www.dostips.com/forum...

@miskox I didn't understand what you wrote The data are 128 bytes and become 172 in coding based on 64. How much data you need to compress? Can makecab/expand be useful? Where are you going to store this compressed data? https://www.dostips.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=14704#p14704 https://www.dostips...

Amazing.

Regarding your compression: I can't help you but can't you use unzip.exe because you say you could use .exe file?

I will just add this: I think PS is very good for (some?) admin repetive tasks (why I wrote 'some?'? - because I don't take care of servers but this is based on what I read so I don't have such experiences). I use PS almost daily for some special task: I have (my customer really) 150+ Excel files. A...

Maybe you could add a
before replacing the file so you have some time for the parent process to exit.
