Re: grep + HTML angle brackets?

The following works fine for me on GNU grep 2.5.1 C:\>grep -Poha "<h2>" input.html Windows command line treats quoted angle brackets as literals. I don't think this is a command line issue, unless possibly your actual command is more complicated than what you are showing, causing the search string t...

Re: JREPL.BAT v8.6 - regex text processor with support for text highlighting and alternate character sets

Good job.
You can simplify by using the predefined counter variable that is already initialized to 0

Code: Select all

jrepl "\[AddReg\]" "$txt=++counter==2?$0+'\r\nTestLine.':$0" /jq /f "test.txt" /o "test1.txt"

Re: why does del /q "" work like del /q *.* and ruin me

Ouch! It has been a long while since I have spent much time with batch scripts or Windows command line, but I don't remember ever seeing this abomination. I ran some additional tests, and all of the following are treated like DEL * del "" del " del """""" del . del "." del ". My guess is that all th...

Re: JREPL.BAT and UTF auto detect?

No - there is no auto detection of encoding.

Use the /UTF option if all input and output is UTF-16LE

For more encoding flexibility you must use the ADO charset options available to /F and /O.

Use JREPL /?/F and JREPL /?/O to get help on using ADO character sets

Re: Event-driven multi-thread scheme for Batch files

That swaps stderr and stdout, so stdout messages go to 2, and stderr messages go to 1

Re: How to put inner quotes in outer quotes in "for" loop?

I don't understand what you are trying to do, so I have no idea how to solve your problem. It sounds like you are trying to communicate between different processes, which would require communication via files. I use that technique in my SNAKE.BAT batch game. Buried in that thread is a description of...

Re: ECHO. FAILS to give text or blank line - Instead use ECHO/

We have all been down that road - it simply looks wrong. But the countless experiments don't lie - it really is the only option that always works (except for some esoteric CALL situations, which should rarely be needed)

Re: How to put inner quotes in outer quotes in "for" loop?

I am lurking in the shadows. :twisted: Actually I have found another hobby that has been sucking up my time - VCV Rack, a Eurorack modular synth emulator for the computer. I am learning all I can about synthesis, as well as creating patches that play themselves so I can use them as accompaniment for...

Re: How to put inner quotes in outer quotes in "for" loop?

I am not familiar with dsquery.exe, so I don't know if the commas in OU=MyOU,dc=mydomain,dc=local-l are important, or if they can be converted to spaces. But the FOR /F will convert unquoted commas into spaces. If that is the problem, then I think the following should work: FOR /F "tokens=*" %%a IN ...

Re: more tricks with certutil

Yes, it is frustrating when something has the potential to be extremely useful in a general sense, but then has a limitation that interferes with achieving the full potential.

I did manage to find a copy of cmd.exe in Windows\SysWOW64. I think it happened a couple weeks ago when my computer ...
