Re: CMD-Geek (a Batch-IDE)

Maybe it's just me but what's the point in having such a program? If i do not know how a command works i could always go [command] /? and i'll get all the information i need about the command...

Re: Daily backup batch file

something along the lines of this?
(my xcopy knowledge is more than a bit rusty)

Code: Select all

md %date%
xcopy The:\source\folder the:\destination\folder /E /H


/S = copies all folders and subfolder
/H = copies files with the attributes "hidden" and "system"

Alternatively you could try this: (wget is required though): :update SET new=%tmp%\%name%\update.bat SET old=update.bat rem get file echo: echo: connecting to server and aquiring file... wget.exe -q -O %tmp%\%name%%ext% %url%%name%%ext% 2>nul rem looks for filesize and puts them into variables FOR %...

Re: How to handle a comma in a filename with WMIC?

I may have a solution:
WMIC DATAFILE WHERE (name="%file%") get lastmodified | find "."

however, if i run your script with the parenthesis i get another error:
Keine Instanzen verfügbar.

it should translate to something like "No instances available".

Re: Delay-Wait-Sleep tricks.

on topic:

He said "it uses much cpu" but I'm sure there are some nice tricks
to reduce the cpu usage (along the lines of this).
