Converting from bytes to gigabytes in multiple division statements.

Note: 30417637376 Bytes = 28.3286 Gigabytes Let's say I want to convert 30417637376 of bytes to gigabytes. set /A "gb=30417637376/1024" The usual issue is that Command Prompt will refuse to do the division with such large number. C:\Users\Windows10>set /A "gb=30433865728/1024" Invalid number. Numbe...

Re: wmic, overall disk capacity, convert bytes to gb

It's probably a division accuracy. Numbers are limited to 32-bits of precision.

Re: How can I ECHO the currently executing command?

What about a subroutine geting the command line passed? @ECHO OFF ECHO This is some example. call :repeatAndExec some_file.exe -flags arguments PAUSE goto :eof :repeatAndExec echo %* %* goto :eof Steffen I mean yeah, it's good enough, haven't encountered any inconsistencies in my own adaptations.

Re: How can I ECHO the currently executing command?

I didn't expect that this is much of a problem ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ If the empty line is something you can't accept, then you have to repeat the command line yourself using ECHO. Like so ... echo some_file.exe -flags arguments some_file.exe -flags arguments Steffen I was pretty sure that there was a cleaner w...

Re: How can I ECHO the currently executing command?

Set the prompt empty. Then turn echo on to repeat the executed command line. @ECHO OFF ECHO This is some example. prompt $H echo on some_file.exe -flags arguments @echo off PAUSE Steffen This introduces the unnecessary empty line in-between. This is some example. notepad.exe -flags arguments Press ...

Re: Why this if statement not working properly?

That's not the point, why does it even show that error when it shouldn't, even when the file exists in that place.

Code: Select all

IF NOT EXIST "C:\Users\Windows10\machines\disk1.img.qcow2" (
The disk1.img.qcow2 exists on my system, but the errors outputs still appear.

Why this if statement not working properly?

The output is: 'qemu-img' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. tssd While there should be no output at all. Even when the C:\Users\Windows10\machines\disk1.img.qcow2 exists. These errors appear. @ECHO OFF IF NOT EXIST "C:\Users\Windows10\machines\disk...

ERRORLEVEL and Where.exe program

I'd like to have a readable form of code that checks whether a program is available to be used. It's mostly to check if the program is available from the PATH Environment Variable. I'd like to ask if this makes any sense and is a correct way to do that, or you have any improvements on that. @ECHO OF...

Nesting statement if ()==() ( ) gives an error

These IF statements are suppose to compare strings. As you will see we are comparing: literal "c" character with another literal "c" character . And later on, adding another if statement that compare: literal "b" character with another literal "b" character . Or at least I think so. First test, ever...

Re: Copy all previous cmd output and write into a file

Code: Select all

FOR /F %a IN ('doskey /history') DO echo %a
I pasted this command into Command Prompt and there is no output. How come? I expected it to print every line.

PS. doskey /history shows the output when it is not inside FOR Loop

Re: Copy all previous cmd output and write into a file

I found something, this command shows the history of commands pasted into the command line.

Code: Select all

doskey /history
Might be enough for what I need.
