I just had a power outage and I lost my queue.bat
All chars has been replaced by NUL. I didn't made a copy since 3 days.

Is my file really dead?

edit: I rewrite the file - I'm not lucky these days
Thank again to Dave.

Dave, the file.lock is a very clever solution.
Just made some tests and it works perfectly
Nothing to say! Thx for your help.

And you are right, files can even be added to the queue during queue processing. But I'm not sure it is necessary to use the lock for this.

!k, thanks for help My first attempts were quite similar, unfortunately I can't do like this because many encoders CLI change windows title. For exemple, x264.exe use the title to display work progress and other infos: x264 [40%]... 2 other reasons: it requires an additional batch windows and a enco...

Fantastic !

I'll try tomorrow

Thank you Dave

Hello guys and happy new year I need help again with parallel processing, I hope you'll understand my english I use batch scripts for video and audio encoding. My small application generates all batch commands for my encoding jobs. It can also work with a queue list which is stored in a text file li...

Hello
I'm using KuShellExtension for this. It's a C++ dll. Very easy to use.
Can be used with batch also; it's very useful for working with files.

(note: if you want to use it with more than one program, you will have to define different CLSID in the config file)

this is a mistake, I forgot to uncomment an endlocal in the for sorry for time wasting! What a noob I am! final code (could help beginners like me) : for /f "usebackq delims=" %%i in (`dir /B /O:N "%presets_path%\*.txt"`) do ( set "preset_name=%%~i" setlocal EnableDela...

You're right, for with delimiters may be the best solution. I'll make some modification Thanks But I have a big surprise: set _sortlist_ display the expected result but this looses ! and ^ again setlocal DisableDelayedExpansion if "%presets_cnt%" NEQ "0" ( for /f "tokens=1* ...

Excellent! you're an encyclopedia of batch Thank you very much. Is there any reason you used for /f instead a simple for ? for /F "delims=" %%v in ("_sortlist_!indexpos!_!presets_cnt!") DO ( Here's my code (to be improved) I had to use several endlocal for the same setlocal. I do...

Hi guys One more time, I don't manage to keep special chars ! and ^ in filenames when browsing files, because of EnableDelayedExpansion I already tried so many things but none worked. Can you help please? setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion for /f "usebackq delims=" %%i in (`dir /B /O:N "...

That's very clear, thanks again jeb

And of course, this is the same for arguments:

I think I love this forum! hope it helps Of course it helps! worked perfectly with my test file escape tests a%b&c^d!é'f)g(h=i`j~k%%l&&m^^n!!o.bat another advantage of your technic: I don't have to escape % before the call as I was doing till now set "file=!file:%%=%%%%!" Many ...

I think I've found:

call seems to escape ^ only if they are surrounded by quotes.
thank anyway Ed' !
