Only flying over your source (i actually have few time, sorry). I assume that prior to the if command the environment variable GamePath is undefined; you might want to check that by adding: echo("GamePath=%GamePath%" IF /I "%DoGame:~0,1%"=="Y" ( :: ... ) Based on that Gamepath is undefined: Some of ...

If i remember right, then start does not support shell/batch commands, so you might have to start the command interpreter:

Code: Select all

start "" /NORMAL /B /WAIT  "cmd /c">nul chcp 1252 && D:\foobar\myprog.exe /parm1 /parm2 someparm""

The thing is, that a codeblock like the one i suspected above (and that you confirmed to use) can't work: ( Echo Checking for Runescape for /F "Usebackq Tokens=1* delims=," %%a in ("%SrcPath%\folders.txt") do IF /I "%%a"=="Runescape" set GamePath=%%b IF "%GamePath%"=="" Echo Empty path returned for ...

If your old and new code both work from inside a compound statement and your old code doesn't work, but your new one does then i suspect your new code to use delayed expansion (!variable!), contrary to your old code where you used regular expansion (%variable%).

I suspect you initially used a code block (encapsulated in parentheses):

Code: Select all

(
Echo Checking for Runescape
for /F "Usebackq Tokens=1* delims=," %%a in ("%SrcPath%\folders.txt") do IF /I "%%a"=="Runescape" set GamePath=%%b
IF "%GamePath%"=="" Echo Empty path returned for Runescape
)

Sorry, but i don't understand, what you are asking for.

Typically the command line is echoingyou can avoid that by zsing a '@'-character at the right place, which should be something like the following:

Code: Select all

FOR %G IN (*.pdf) DO @(
    SET newfile=%G
    SET dpi=%newfile:~0,6%
    echo %dpi%
)

I searched google for "CsvView", "Manual" and "Documentation" and got the following as the first link: https://datfile.net/Doc/intro.html . In the "CsvView Manual" (first item there) you can find the link TXTlogToCSVtool . In the OP there, it states: Notice 3: Tool can be also run from command line ...

1) the "U_" always at the beginning stands for what? It has no special purpose - my first name starts with an U and that way i could list both variables at the same time using the command "set U_" (without doublequotes) Also both labels do contain data with different semantics - which probably is v...

I think the main issue here is the NULL-byte (stored in "0.chr"), so you can't use single byte codepages to echo that value and have to workaround that. I couldn't find a codepage that enables you to echo the whole byte sequence as a single string, but you might use a mix of ANSI and unicode charact...

The answer heavily relies on what you might mean with the term "open", some possibilities: - you called your second batch file, so it actually runs and you want it to change itself while running, - you have used a for/f-loop using the findstr on your second batch file which length is <= 8192 bytes l...

There are two reasons why your function ":WriteTemplate" doesn't work: 1) You are using a compound statement (aka block), therefore you must escape closing parentheses ("^)") in order to prevent the command line interpreter from thinking that the block ends there. Note that you also have to escape a...

You could extract time information using for- and wmic-command and then check if you are not within 2 and 5 am @echo off setlocal enableExtensions enableDelayedExpansion set "stamp=" for /f "skip=1 delims=.," %%a in ('wmic os get localDateTime') do if not defined stamp set "stamp=%%~a" set /a "stamp...

So using your code I would end up with . . . No, the for loop was meant as an example for what could go wrong. So you also should guard against empty input and aborted input (pressing "CTRL+C" during set/p execution; which you correctly mapped to empty input by initializing the environment variable...

Sidenote: When using set/p (or when asking for input you don't conrol in general) you should always guard against invalid input. For example your first codeblock here may enable others to execute any code he/she/... wants by typing input like the following: nul ( a ) else echo Selected Option D. & g...
