Re: Format totals with thousands separator and convert bytes to megabytes
For thousands separators I use this (replace . with , if required): @echo off set "line=1234567" echo Original line:%line% set num=0 :LOOP call set tmpa=%%line:~%num%,1%%% set /a num+=1 if not "%tmpa%" equ "" ( set rline=%tmpa%%rline% goto LOOP ) echo Reversed line:%rline% set /a num=0 set line=%rli...

Re: strLen boosted
Bonus chatter: It's absurd what we need to do just to perform such a simple operation. What happens in the implementation if something like !var:~N,1! is evaluated? We can rely on getting an empty result if N exceeds the string length. It does never read behind the string end into foreign memory. T...

Re: Ghost-typer effect in batch: Flickering random letters before each character
@icarus: can't get it to work. Looks like your ESC is encoded in the file which I can't copy/paste. Please use variable ESC:
Aacini's:
should probably be
etc.

Aacini's:
Code: Select all
for /f %%a in ('echo prompt $E^| cmd') do set "ESC=%%a"

Echo ( and ) within a block

Re: strLen boosted
This Compo's solution might help determing if DELAYEDEXPANSION is ON or OFF:

IF "!!" == "" (
ECHO Delayed expansion is ON

Re: PAUSE localized... not really
Yes, there are lots of files missing. Never noticed that they were not in Slovene (or Slovenian - both versions are correct). I noticed the PAUSE not being translated while using Aacini's AutoMenu.bat. I added the first line below and after that there is a PAUSE command... Pritisnite tipko za vrnite...

Re: PAUSE localized... not really
My sl-SI folder contains 843 .mui files. De-DE 14 files. Other xx-xx folders I have contain 13 or 14 .mui files.
As you mentioned: cmd.exe.mui file is not present.
Thanks. I learned something new today.

Re: AutoMenu.bat: simple multi-level menu system (with a coherent help on Windows-DOS commands)
Announcment: new version 2.0 is here. What's new that justifies major version number change? AutoMenu.bat now supports display of menu options based on user groups! Antonio designed AutoMenu.bat to have these information in the filename/directory name (delimited by a minus sign '-'): key to press-sh...

Re: PAUSE localized... not really
Interesting. Looks like cmd.exe has not been translated. I also checked this on Windows 11 (24H2 26100.4652). For example COLOR /? shows help in English. GETMESSAGETABLE gives this: #M 0x0000232B #L 0x0409 : Press any key to continue . . . %0 There is no other match for 232B. Thank you Steffen - Som...

Re: PAUSE localized... not really
Thank you Antonio!
Looks like Microsoft should translate this in Slovenian version of Windows... but support will end soon.
Maybe other localizations?
Thanks again.
