Interesting article about Stack OverFlow. The author seems to think that AI is the nail in the coffin for the site. I personally don't think AI can code everything.

Take a look at this.

Foxidrive, I hope you are still with us in spirit.

Also realize that Microsoft has put wmic.exe on its deprecation list. It will be removed from Windows in the near future. That being said you can call out to powershell from a batch file to get the date and time. FOR /F "usebackq delims=" %%G IN (`powershell "(Get-Date).ToString('yyyy-MM-dd-hh-mm-ss...

cmd.exe has a line execution limit of 8192 characters. When you drag and drop files onto a batch file you are sending in every fully qualified path to the file plus quotes if the file path has spaces. Reading the directory with a FOR command is a much better option.

Code: Select all

set "shortcut="Adobe Acrobat.lnk" "Firefox.lnk" "Google Chrome.lnk" "Google Earth Pro.lnk""
for %%G in (%shortcut%) do echo "%%~G"

I wrote a new solution for this problem that allows a simple (and fast!) processing of a large number of replacements. I posted my solution in the original SO forum (because I can earn some rep points there)...

Nice job. I do like your logic.

Oddly familiar question that I posted two possible solutions to on StackOverFlow yesterday.

Wasn't sure if Peter could restore the topic from backup but he has been pretty busy with his own life and tryi...

Thanks. Will check them out.

I contacted our DB2 admin to see what could be done - looks like IBM has an official Windows batch/command line option.

Saso

Yes. It will come with the client and the odbc driver.

We got rid of DB2 on our Mainframe many years ago, but whomever is the DB admin can give the client to install.
