Hi, I have the code: @echo off setlocal disableDelayedExpansion set file=test.txt" set "search=test" for /f "delims=" %%A in ('findstr /i /c:"%search%" %file%') do ( set "ln=%%A" echo %search% endlocal ) if not defined _"%ln%" (goto :error) :Bre...

Hi, I know that there is a default size that cmd has in pixels), but is it possible to change the size from a batch file or command line? In taking a guess, I think it would be something like this: set "%size%=(randomnumberthatyouchoose) Am I right? Or is there another way that works? Regards, ...

Hi I need to find out how to look for a defined string, but then look for anything. For example: for /f "tokens=* delims= " %%a in ('find /c /i "(defined string)" "test.txt"') do (something random) Now, the part I'm having a problem with is I can't figure out how to mak...

Thanks for the string, but it didn't work. It echoed "hello" when the "search" variable" was set to "hello", instead of doing what it was supposed to do, which was echoing "world", since it occurred after "hello". Could you fix it? Regards, Rileyh

Make the first occurrence of ">>" be ">". This means that it will make the file, instead of append to a file that does not exist. Then you can have the doubles: echo Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell") >"%homepath%\desktop\test.vbs" echo WshShell.Run ...

Hi all, I want to know how to get a batch file to echo the characters that occur after a point but on the same line. The batch file needs to find a string of text and then echo the characters that occur on the same line, but after it from left to right. For example: (IN A TEXT FILE) Hello world The ...

Peter, I do not quite understand what you are talking about when you mention "another cmd" There is only one cmd/command prompt, so what do you mean by that ? Secondly, what is the "%~"? Thirdly, what do you want this code to do? Is this an excerpt from a batch file or is it one ...

I have previously tried to make this batch and it hasn't worked. I don't have the knowledge to code this sort of thing (yet )
Could you post a solution (code) for my problem, or else could you post examples/links to help on the forum, please?

Thank you in advance,
Rileyh

Is this good enough (it is an extremely underfunctionable operating system im developing) @echo off setlocal ENABLEEXTENSIONS setlocal ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION title DOS 7 :. echo ===============Welcome to DOS 7.=============== timeout /t 2 /nobreak >nul set /p a=If this is your first time using DOS 7...

Very advanced (looks even more advanced since I am a noob)

Hi everyone, Out of interest, I would like to make this post to see what an ultra-advanced batch script would look like. A definition of "ultra-advanced" would be "the most versatile". It should be able to "do the most things". So post your script as a reply to this pos...
