OMG That is just so wrong. I can only assume it is a nasty bug. Workaround - assign the complete value to a normal variable and then take the substring of the copy. Dave Benham One can do this also: D:\>set "cmdcmdline=%cmdcmdline%" D:\>echo: %cmdcmdline% cmd D:\>echo: %cmdcmdline:~1,2% m...

It is also present in winXP - 32bit: C:\>echo %cmdcmdline% "C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe" C:\>echo %cmdcmdline:~0,3% "C: C:\>echo %cmdcmdline:~1,3% C: C:\>echo %cmdcmdline:~1,3% : C:\>echo %cmdcmdline:~1,3% ECHO ist eingeschaltet (ON). I tested other dynamic variables and got the same ...

Out of curiosity i fiddled around a bit with "echo %cmdcmdline%" and got some strange results... D:\>echo %cmdcmdline% cmd D:\>echo %cmdcmdline:~0,3% cmd D:\>echo %cmdcmdline:~1,3% md D:\>echo %cmdcmdline:~2,3% ECHO ist eingeschaltet (ON). D:\>echo %cmdcmdline:~1,3% ECHO ist eingeschaltet ...

That's it -- telnet! Thank you. Where do I go for help with telnet commands? You could type "telnet /?" for general help, or you could just type "telnet" hit enter and then type "help" and hit enter again for command-help inside a telnet session. Or, if you prefer, you...

My first games were Jill of the jungle and the Commander Keen Saga.
I'm still sad that I lost my original copy of the latter.

The Santa Clause link is nice, but have a look on this one:

@berserker The way i see it: This is a forum for dos-batch. Since (almost) every computer has acces to vbscript/jscript code snippets of those are welcome. On my work machine i'm strictly forbidden to install third-party software (compiler, wget, etc) and while i'm at home I do not have the slightes...

I learned DOS from http://www.antonis.de/ (it's in german)
and from http://www.robvanderwoude.com/batchstart.php (in english).

This is an amazing piece of work, dbenham.
I had totally forgotten how addictive this game is
I have one question/suggestion: How about a button to pause while playing?

where is your "hinweis.txt" located? if it's not in the same folder you need to declare the path where it is. example: for /r %%a in (C:\Pfad\zur\Datei\hinweis.txt) do set "folder=%%~dpa"&set "file=%%~na" if defined folder move "%folder%" "%folder [%f...

wrong: "set variabel=" correct: set "variabel=" wrong: for /r %%a in (file1.txt) do "set folder=%%~dpa"&set "file=%%~na" correct: for /r %%a in (file1.txt) do set "folder=%%~dpa"&set "file=%%~na" foxidrive just misplaced one of the ...

[mean-mode] You could always try what what google says... Or you could do this: put the following code in a file, name it whateveryouwant.reg and then double-click it Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\CrashControl] “AutoReboot”=dword:00000000 [...

In combination with "choice" you have to use the "if errorlevel" lines in a descending order:


and so on.

thanks for trying. However, I corrected the "set msec ..." because he had no double quotes. and have added e delayed time variable.

Then i must have used the already edited code right before you answered.

Apologies Dos_Probie. My timing was bad.

I just tried the posted code and it works. Just wait a few seconds.
