I'm writing a code that will combine lines from two text files. The first text file contains: A B C D The second one contains: 1 2 3 4 I want the output to be: A 1 B 2 C 3 D 4 Any ideas how to make this work? My best attempt results with: A 1 A 2 A 3 A 4 B 1 B 2 B 3 B 4 C 1 ... And so on like that. ...

You could try using this instead: call :coltext 74 "hello" & call :coltext 47 "world" /n ::... :coltext for /F "tokens=1,2 delims=#" %%a in ('"prompt #$H#$E# & echo on & for %%b in (1) do rem"') do set "DEL=%%a" echo off <nul set /p "...

Is there any way to add spaces after each letter in a text string?
For example, "cat" would become "c a t ".
Spaces can be removed later by using "set str=!str: =!". However, doing this in reverse doesn't work.
Any ideas?

How do I use and set replaceable parameters such as %1 in batch?
How does the SHIFT command work with these?

Cat

it works for me setlocal enabledelayedexpansion set test=96 set /p 96="random prompt : " if "!%test%!" == "7" echo Seven That only seems to work with numbers, not text strings: setlocal enabledelayedexpansion set test=cat set /p 96="random prompt : " if "...

some examples:

Code: Select all

set cat=13
set dog=7
echo %dog%
echo %cat%

would output:

Code: Select all

13
7

to use GOTO, use labels.

Code: Select all

:loop
echo Hello world
pause
goto loop

would output:

Code: Select all

Hello World
Press any key to continue...

To be more specific, here is the exact portion of code: :input set "X%X%Y%Y%= " choice /c awsd /n >nul if %errorlevel%==1 ( if %Y% GTR 1 ( set /a Y=%y%-1 ) else ( goto lose ) ) if %errorlevel%==2 ( if %x% GTR 1 ( set /a x=%x%-1 ) else ( goto lose ) ) if %errorlevel%==3 ( if %X% LSS 17 ( se...

Here is an example:

Code: Select all

set test=96
set /p 96="random prompt"

say %96% is set to 7. I want to activate a condition for %test% to check the variable of %96%:

Code: Select all

if %%test%%==7 echo 7
if %!test!%==7 echo 7
if !%test%!==7 echo 7

None of the above works. How do i fix this?

Using "ECHO " will result as "ECHO is on." Also, you can't set a variable to a space.

This is a picture of a batch game I'm making. http://i44.tinypic.com/qpfdpd.png I use ± for the blocks, but how do i get rid of the underscores, and put a blank space instead? Alt + 0160 doesn't work, and neither does Alt + 255. How do i place an empty, blank space when a variable is echoed without ...

Try REN

Code: Select all

ren "Kate Ryan - LoveLife Video tape.tv.flv.mp3"  "Kate Ryan - LoveLife.mp3"

That works perfectly, thanks
