Hi, you should check, that there is no ping.bat in your working directory, else it will be infinitely repeated, because "ping 66.151.33.4 -t" will call the batch file "ping.bat" not the ping.exe command. Your other problem is the character encoding of "Conexión de red inalámbrica". You got the error...

Hi abuchaibe3, first your problem with "ping 66.151.33.4 -t" if i dont save it as .bat with notepad, but if i do that the command doesn't stop repeating I guess, you save it as "ping.bat" ? If yes, think about it a minute and you will find the problem. Your first problem occurs probably from your ut...

Hi Arianax, simple: You can't :!: It's not possible to escape an equal sign in the search string. There exist some pure batch solutions (also on Dostips), but I would recommend the easy to use and powerful solution from Dave JREPL . This is a JScript/Batch hybrid from one of our honored, expert memb...

Hi stevehero, most of my code is more or less only a proof of concept :!: The color sample, too. Long time ago, I developed it to show that it's even possible to colorize characters. But to use it as a function, you better switch to the code of Dave SO: How to have multiple colors in a Windows batch...

Hi stevehero, the problem is the call command, it starts a second round of parsing, therefore the percent is interpreted and eventually removed. It's better to assign "%%~fG" to a variable, and later, use that variable. @For /F "UseBackDelims=" %%G In ("%Temp%\music-checker-list-2020-03-29_2034-21.t...

Hi, there are some questions left. You are using a windows on both computers, but you are also using ssh to connect from one computer to the other. I'm assume, you have installed something like OpenSSH on one computer (server) and connect by using putty or openssh. But in both cases, I would expect ...

Hi Dave, good idea to use the time ... So I had planned to run a series of tests to investigate all of the above. But I didn't get very far because I am seeing surprising differences between two machines with different versions of Windows 10 :shock: :? 1) Differences I knew this, but I didn't found ...

If you are on windows10 with ansi escape sequences enabled, you can use some magic to hide the commands. cmd /Q /v:on /k for /F "delims=#" %a in ('"prompt #$E# & for %a in (1) do rem"') do set "ESC=%a" & echo off <nul set /p ".=%ESC%[G%ESC%[2K%ESC%%ESC%[A%ESC%[2K" echo #1 echo #2 echo #3 echo !time!...

Hi BoQs, If only there were no requirement to prefix every command with echo this would be perfect. There is no need for the ECHO prefix of each line, it's only necessary in your example. You can download and start a simple script with a pipe. Test.bat @echo off ( cls echo Hello echo Time: !time! ex...

Hi rana, it's a problem of your code formatting. In batch you can't use spaces in a SET expression, without side effects. The correct syntax is SET var=content or even better, to protect against invisible trailing white spaces SET "var=content" You used set ab = Batch , this sets a variable with the...

Without seeing the relevant part of your replace code it's hard to say ....

There shouldn't be any problems with delayed expansion.

Tested on a linux system.

There the cpr is appended as expected and it has no other priority than user input.

I was pleasantly surprised that the position query cleared the input buffer before inserting the position response No, the position query doesn't clear the input buffer. :shock: BUT it inserts the response at the beginning of the buffer instead of appending it :?: for /F "delims=#" %%a in ('"prompt...

:shock: Holy smokes! Nice work! I never expected to see a solution for reading the cursor position with pure batch. I can see this being genuinely useful, although I wish it were faster. You should update your old answer at https://stackoverflow.com/a/38240300/1012053 so I can then accept it. :) Ho...

One more test to fetch the cursor report with an unexpected result 8) :!: @echo off FOR /F "tokens=3 delims=:" %%L in ("%~0") DO goto :%%L REM *** Save Cursor Position in Memory <nul set /p "=%\e%7" REM *** Bring the cursor to x,y=20,20 <nul set /p "=%\e%[20;20H" REM *** Request Cursor report <nul s...
