Re: How to: Get the current line number

This is ingenius! But may I suggest a slight modification of the opening and closing tags: echo line %#=%%=#% Neither can be expanded since they litteraly are illegal as variables due to the "=". If the tags are modifyed slightly to say: echo %#-_%%_-#% Then you can expand the tags like: SET "#-_=Li...

Re: Color Function 21 22 23c

I simply do not understand your example! :?
Are you intending to convert the output string into an array - and the print the characters one by one? :shock:
How would this solve the position72-80 problem?
Please supply a complete example

Re: Color Function 21 22 23c

Code: Select all

mode con cols=120

does not solve the problem. Makes windows "jump" to another size and the screens blinks.

Is it possible to truncate the string at col 80?

Re: The "_" Windows Batch Library - now on github

You're right! debug.exe is not installed as default on 64 bit. Removing cEcho.exe

Re: The "_" Windows Batch Library - now on github

It's a library with mutual dependencies. unzip.bat requires _debug.cmd and _GetOpt.cmd. If you need the help function as well, What.cmd is needed too.

I've added a note to the README. So please download the entire library.

Re: The "_" Windows Batch Library - now on github

Can a 16bit program run on a 64bit Operating System?

Hmmm - 16 bit batch script?!? I'm not reinventing CMD.exe.

Re: The "_" Windows Batch Library - now on github

Well the .BAT files ARE a wrapper to VBscript or Jscript functionality. This is indicated in the documentation: xxx.BAT A wrapper to VBscript or Jscript functionality. . The scripts are wrapped using cmdize.cmd . What do you mean by when they can't get it work as a .bat. . They are indeed .bat files...

Re: The "_" Windows Batch Library - now on github

Yes! Under Windows 7 32+64 bit and Windows 10. I do not have other versions available. Currently I'm not aware of any vital differences in the batch environment, that should affect these scripts. No references to %ProgramFiles%.

Re: The "_" Windows Batch Library - now on github

Not exactly. I've made a mistake at the top of the header but the header clearly states:
REPL.BAT was written by Dave Benham

You're right about this version being outdated. Sorry - I've updated to JREPL.bat right away.
Thank you for bringing this to my attention. And Dave - I apologize :oops:

The "_" Windows Batch Library - now on github

For years I've been looking for the ultimate DOS/Windows batch library - without much success. So I've build my own - including documentation, unit tests and examples. The library is not a collection of snippet - like DosTips, but ready to use scripts; The "_" Windows Batch Library (The &q...

Re: Windos 7 DIR get too many files

Bingo! And DIR cannot surpress short file names - only surpress the long names. So forfiles can do the trick: forfiles /s /M "*1*.*" /c "cmd /c ECHO:@RELPATH" I'd whish that "Windos" could learn from *nix: Don't hide your tricks - do exactly what you're asked to do.

Windos 7 DIR get too many files

This command took me by surprise: m:\flac\Adele\19>DIR /B "01*.*" 01 Adele - Daydreamer.flac 08 Adele - Right as Rain.flac I did only expect the "daydreamer" line. Likewise: m:\flac\Adele\21>DIR /B "01*.*" 01 Adele - Rolling in the Deep.flac 05 Adele - Set Fire to the R...
