Re: Definition and use of arithmetic "functions" in Batch fi

Then, why you introduced it in a thread whose purpose is to write something in the way most other programming languages does? In the opening post you used the words: a method that allows to use arithmetic expressions in Batch files in a way rather similar to arithmetic functions of other programmin...

Just type SC in the console first if it exists.

I meant, SC exists and works, but "for..." command simply doesn't do anything.

Re: Rules for label names vs GOTO and CALL

slower when used in small scripts

:shock: What developers of cmd.exe smoked? Cause I don't know HOW to code something that works slower when used in small script.
Also, it's speed decreases with memory usage - avg. 15 sec with 1MB used, but 90 sec with 4MB used on my computer.
