The codes we used before(timeout 1 > con) moved cursor position to 1,0 So you should have used a script to lift the cursor position up one line to move the cursor to 0,0 In his first post in the topic (that i linked above) Antonio used: for /F %%a in ('timeout /T 1 ^> CON') do rem (If i remember ri...

Also, FOR /F %A IN ('"ECHO WOW"') DO (TIMEOUT 1 && ECHO WOW || ECHO OHH) Worked. I don't see any reason for the for-loop of that command, just use pure conditional-chaining ("&&") and conditional-execution operator ("||"): TIMEOUT 1 && ECHO WOW || ECHO OHH I'm also not fully sure how that for-loop ...

Antonio did something like that before using Windows 8.1:

I didn't run into changing behavior on the same machine yet Just try (win10) a batch file with many AT-characters ('@') (varies depending on machine) and an internal command. On my machine when using 3053 AT's and set-command the console window crashes (that happens all the time) after it may or ma...

I'm curious what the behavior is with XP (or any other version). Windows XP pro, 32 bit, Version 5.1.2600, just terminates the execution of the batch ater the first performed test (same behaviour for all tests): ----------------------------------------------- :test1 Die eingegebene Zeile ist zu lan...

I don't think, that WiVi71 tries to use the conditional-execution operator "||" as a conditional-OR operator. @WiVi71 In all the examples you gave, you have used the character COMMA (','). That character is a delimiter and must be escaped, so the following might help you: IF . EQU ^, DISM || ECHO PO...

If you don't use any arguments in your "for/f"-loop, then the default setting is used, which is the first token (for more, see "for/?" - without the doublequotes).
This might help you:

Code: Select all

for /f "usebackq tokens=* delims=" %%a in ("C:\LOGLIST.TXT") do WEVTUTIL CL "%%a"

I've tried a code but it makes a global archive of every subfolderToArchiveX :/ Nice and beautiful code - i guess. And, i need to archive these subfolder only if they're older than 30 days You could copy all files you need to a temporary folder and archive that one, or you could create an archive w...

mshta "javascript:document.write('<html><script language=\"VBScript\">Set objShell = WScript.CreateObject(\"WScript.Shell\") : objShell.Run(\"cmd.exe /c calc.exe\"), 0, True</script></html>');close()" The jscript in hta doesn't seem to support the "WScript" object (if that code worked for you, then...

From command line you could use something like that: "C:\WINDOWS\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe" "-Command" "$wshShell = New-Object -ComObject WScript.Shell; $result = $WshShell.Run(\"C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe /cecho Hello world!^&pause\", 1, $true);" This test line should open a c...

it copied over the contents inside the "test" folder. I would like to copy over the "test" folder and the sub folders inside it. I am a little bit confused, you said before, you only wanted to copy the sub-folder with the latest timestamp (at least i interpreted it that way): that will detect the f...

You might want to use xcopy instead of copy (if i remember right; better check first):

Code: Select all

xcopy "!newest!" "%dest%" /E

You might want to use a for/f-loop to split the parts of the date: @echo off setlocal enableExtensions enableDelayedExpansion set "input=20/02/2020 " for /f "tokens=1-3 delims=/ " %%a in ("%input%") do set "timestamp=%%~c%%~b%%~a" echo("%timestamp%" goto :eof Note that dates are localized strings an...

We don't know exactly how those numbers are generated and most probably they are IEEE 754 numbers where you might get "inf", "+inf", "-inf" or "NaN" as well. To not miss such lines i would use something like the following (untested): call jrepl "^[^,]*(,[^,]*){3}(,\x22\x22|,'#MISSING'){12}.*" "" /R ...

This might help you (just because you are here for the first time and i felt like it, but usually you have to try more than that): @echo off setlocal enableExtensions enableDelayedExpansion :: use the existing of a file as a signal set "signal=signal.tmp.txt" >"%signal%" rem: :: delete file after 2 ...
