Difference in speed in redirection left/right?

I always would ask this.
Is there a significant difference in speed between use:

Code: Select all

> txt.tmp (echo(Text)

and:

Code: Select all

echo(Text> txt.tmp


In the first the redirection is specified in left and in the second in right.

A fix for the problem:

Code: Select all

@Echo Off
For /F %%# in ('"Prompt;$H;&For %%_ in (1) Do Rem"'
) Do Set "\b=%%#"
Set /P "=%\b%=Equal" <Nul
Pause >Nul

Re: [Undocumented] Expand.exe

[Continuation] Now. I write about the option -D of Expand.exe. This option show a list of the files that have a cabinet file. But this option have a little problem.

Re: Encrypting data for a batch file

maybe you want encode, not encrypt.
encrypt should be hard in batch because is slow and have some limitations.

You read entirely and keep in memory, then if other application do a change in the file you are not reading from the file, you are reading from you buffer that is a copy of the file when you read it. Other way is open the file for read and...

Re: New bug in FOR command?

I understand the problem. For /f and For works different. For example if you use: For /F %%a in ('Dir /b *.jpg') this execute the command and save all the text output. Then you have a list static. When you use: For %%a in (*.jpg) this not keep in memory a list, it look in the hard disk every time, t...

Re: Writing an exe via batch

The advantage of use the scripts generated by BHX is that it use vbscript, then you can rebuild the binary in windows systems of 32 and 64 bits. But, if you only want that the make of the binary file be in a windows of 32 bits also you can do it whith debug.exe. Before BHX I build binary data with d...
