Re: dir ????????.txt does not show only files with length of 8 characters
Thanks. But it doesn't work for me. This is what I get. But your idea is good - to check length of the filename.
Code: Select all
c:\
12345678.txt
123456789.txt
87654321.txt
test.txt

Re: Difficulty running powershell in a for loop due to unquoting and closing of parenthesis
Wouldn't it be easier for you to use a temporary file and process this temporary file with FOR loop?

Re: netsh Interface name store as variable
As Squashman wrote you don't have a match so variable AdapterName remains undefined. Looks like it does not work if variable AdapterName is not defined at all. Looks like IF fails if variable is not defined. Add set AdapterName=doesnotexist to the beginning of the code. set AdapterName=doesnotexist ...

Re: time sync errorlevel check
Try this:
You should treat the 'echo' and 'goto' as one command. You need parentheses ().
Saso
Code: Select all
@echo off
:loop
echo Attempting Time Sync...
w32tm /resync | find /i "The command completed successfully." >nul || (echo Sync Not Working, Retrying...&goto loop)
echo Success!!!!!
pause
exit

Re: Need help copying a line of text from a file to another (without mangling it) :AppendFileLineToFile
Very good. Tried and works. But there is a typo:
Missing 'S' at the end:

Code: Select all
:AppendFileLineToFile-args
Code: Select all
if "[%~4]" NEQ "[]" ( shift & GoTo :AppendFileLineToFile-arg )

Re: How to debug this bat file
So, did you try it? Does it work? Start here: https://ss64.com/nt/syntax-esc.html Escape Character ^ Escape character. Adding the escape character before a command symbol allows it to be treated as ordinary text. These characters which normally have a special meaning can be escaped and then treated ...

Re: How to debug this bat file
Been offline for a while.
Maybe you should remove this line
or add ^ infront of the problematic characters (, ), |.
Maybe there are more.
Try this and let us know.

Re: Macro for Dummies
Thanks a lot T3rry. But I think you should go back some more steps and start with the basics. I tried to understand this batch/macro you posted - too complicated. No luck. We would need something like 'hello world' and then go from there. Something like this: @echo off set helloworld=echo Hello Worl...

Re: Faster batch macros
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.
