Re: FOR variable %%A in macro definition gets overridden when script is called by other script within FOR loop
The problem is in the for''s. You don't want the %%A used when you define your macro but only when you use the macro. The cause of your problem is the for %%g loop in caller.cmd. This for loop makes the %%A available in the do command block. In your example code you don't need this loop. replace for...

Re: Batch hex edit offset from filename
For work I regularly end up with a bunch of hex files with the extension .hex, but I can have anywhere from 5 all the way up to in the hundreds. Most of the time the files will be the same, but require me to open them and edit a select set of values before saving and closing. Right now I am using H...

Re: Batch - Browse directory not work
Your subroutine :treatment is missing the 'end subroutine' command.
This causes processing of :treatment to continue with the command in :end, so processing stops with the''exit %CodeRetour%' command.
Add 'exit/B' or 'goto :eof' at the end of the subroutine to correct this.

Re: How to replace extension of a filename stored in variable?
The 'set "file2=%%~i"' does work, but is done inside the for-commandblock enclosed in ()
Use delayed expansion to echo and use the uptodate value of %file2%.
Change %file2% in !file2! and %newfile2% in !newfile2! and your code will work as expected.

I am not entirely sure but these might work:
The first: leave out the caret
The second: leave out the redirect, find does not need it
SET COMMAND=('find /n "" < %2')
SET COMMAND=('find /n "" %2')
The first: leave out the caret

Re: Limit CMD processing to internal commands, safer and fas
If I set the path to nothing DOS will not search the path for a file named echo when echo. right ? Almost, just disabling path is not enough. FileSearch will still be done in the current directory. That is why the FileExt has to be disabled as well. I was wondering if it also has effect on performa...

A similar solution using only the file-attributes.

if defined attr if "%attr:~0,1%" == "d" (set otype=D) else (set otype=F)

Re: Limit CMD processing to internal commands, safer and fas
Restoring the path is not a requirement, just good practice. Imagine working from the commandline. You run a batchfile that wipes the path and does not restore it before finishing. Suddenly your external commands don't work anymore. Just because these are normally found through the default path-sear...
