By this link http://forum.script-coding.com/viewtopic.php?pid=80366#p80366 you can find the research I've made time ago and discussions in Russian. There is translation from summary only. The label name can consist of: -- Latins -- Digits -- Underscore _ -- Punctuation signs . (dot), - (dash) [ and ...

If you need to validate some field is numeric value and it is not more than 6 digits, you have to check that the field is number and is less 1000000. Do something like this: for /f ... %%a in ... do ( call :check_num %%~a && if %%~a lss 1000000 ( do something cool when number is < 1000000 (no more 6...

These three are implementations of one way, practically. 1. @echo off for /f "usebackq skip=1 tokens=1,2,3 delims=," %%a in ( "test.csv" ) do ( setlocal set /a "%%~a=%%~a" 2>nul && echo:%%~a - Not a number endlocal ) 2. @echo off for /f "usebackq skip=1 tokens=1,2,3 delims=," %%a in ( "test.csv" ) d...

Using batch scripting is limited by file size no more 2 G (in fact less than 2^31-1). The following script works in this limitation only. I guess applying some non-trivial tricks could extend usage but the script will become too complicated indeed. @echo off setlocal set "DIGIT_GROUPING=," call :fsi...

Why would anyone try to accomplish this in CMD these days, when there is PowerShell?

Not all systems have powershell by default. A batch syntax is simpler and more familiar to most people. The batch scripting is funnier than powershell.

Resurrecting the old thread. There is one more implementation of the initial idea. Original code is here https://github.com/ildar-shaimordanov/cmd.scripts/blob/master/bin/uptime.bat I borrowed the idea how to convert YYYYMMDDhhmmss.SSSSSS+zzz to the unix timestamp here https://stackoverflow.com/a/11...

rename gzip.bat to gz.bat

you do something not in right way. Please try with a single file and check your results.

I don't know and can't imagine what have you done. First of all, try to run the script with a single file check the result and go ahead with others.

geronimo1,

I am so sorry that I have made some rude mistakes. I updated my previous post and fixed them. Please try again.

Yet another "batch only" implementation of the "which" utility can be found here: https://github.com/ildar-shaimordanov/cmd.scripts/blob/master/bin/which.bat :: USAGE: :: which [-a] [--] name [...] :: :: -a Print all available matchings accordingly the description below. :: :: For each of the names ...

Very simple

@Boxof, What do you mean saying 'chrome homepage'? Does it mean the home or working directory where the application stores its temporary and persistent files? If your answer is yes, so I can suggest you to use command line options that are supported by chrome: "<CHROME-BIN>\chrome.exe" --user-data-d...

Yes. I can confirm this issue with labels. Batch files stored with EOL in Unix style still continue working but fail when jump to a label is needed. I encountered this trouble when stored a batch file to git. (offtop: the line ending is very annoying issue I have ever faced in my practice with git).

Thank you, jeb . This is significantly important notice. Does this trick 100% reliable? Someone can a) launch the second instance of cmd.exe using the quoted and full path to it; b) or launch cmd.exe with parameters. Will the trick be able to recognize them and react properly (to configure new sessi...
