Version check without Basic: @echo off for /f "tokens=2*skip=4" %%a in ('reg query "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Adobe Flash Player Plugin" /v DisplayVersion') do echo %%b for /f "tokens=2*skip=4" %%a in ('reg query "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Micros...

The value of "%~tX" depends on your local system settings. Usually the accuracy is set to minutes, not to seconds. Imo it can't be set to seconds.

Strip file path & file name from full path, see also the code by abc0502 e.g. set "commandline=C:\Windows\System32\smss.exe" for %%i in ("%commandline%") do set "fpath=%%~dpi" &set "fname=%%~nxi" echo %fpath% # %fname% Output: C:\WINDOWS\system32\ # sm...

Other suggestion: @echo off &setlocal enabledelayedexpansion set "fname=PidDb.txt" set /a cnt=0 for /f "usebackqtokens=1-3" %%i in ("%fname%") do ( if "%%i"=="Image" ( set /a cnt+=1 set "$image!cnt!=%%k" ) if "%%i"=="PID:...
