This requires quite some trickery where you should execute the the JScript in a WSF job that respects the "encoding" attribute. However, this is still not good enough to make it work for the underlying pipe in a FOR /F loop. So, you need a UTF-16 encoded temporary file... proof of concept <?xml : :...

Escaping all the characters that have a special meaning in batch can be an annoying task. Furthermore it's a well known issue that the scripting engines of VBScript and JScript remove all quotes from the arguments you pass to a script and there's nothing that you could do to prevent this. So, don't...

If you need spaces between chars, then: @echo off setlocal enabledelayedexpansion set "KEYS=1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z" for /f %%m in ('">$ cmd/v/c echo.!KEYS!& echo $"') do set /a char_count=%%~zm-37& del $ for /l %%a in (1,1,%char_count%) do ( set s=%%a...

Maybe this will help... @echo off setlocal enabledelayedexpansion set "KEYS=1234567890ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ" for /f %%m in ('">$ cmd/v/c echo.!KEYS!& echo $"') do set /a char_count=%%~zm-2& del $ for /l %%a in (1,1,%char_count%) do ( set s=%%a&&call :pro ) pause :pro set /a startchar=%s%-1 SET ...

Here's simple code: 0</*! :: @echo off set "c=0.618" cscript //nologo //e:javascript "%~f0" %* add("%c%") pause goto :EOF */0; function add(c){ return c; } WScript.Echo(eval(WScript.Arguments(0))); Expecting return is 0,618 as it gives when "c" is a number. But when "c" is something like this: "c="j...

Accordingly to your last test, this should work: for /f "usebackq tokens=5 delims=: " %%i in ('pstat.exe ^| findstr /i "memory"') do echo %%i Note that you changed the "backtit" ("`" character) by apostrophe... If this not works, remove the usebackq option from FOR /F switch. Antonio Of course, it'...

Run pmon.exe only and post the results (between code tags, please). Saso Here the first line of the pstat.exe window... others are similar: Pstat version 0.2: memory: 2000000 kb uptime: 1 5:49:06.598 I have positive result with writing to file and then proccessing the line (mistake in 3rd line is c...

I don't understand what you are trying to do, so I have no idea how to solve your problem. It sounds like you are trying to communicate between different processes, which would require communication via files. I use that technique in my SNAKE.BAT batch game. Buried in that thread is a description o...

What happens if you remove the 'start' command? for /f "usebackq tokens=2 delims=: " %i in (`pmon.exe ^|findstr /i "memory"`) do echo %i Saso Nothing. The cursor hangs in the parental window, and the pmon.exe window does not start ... It could be another cmd utility, not necessary pmon.exe. The ide...

Sholom there! Trying to write 2nd's cmd window's stdout that starts from 1st cmd to a variable but haven't succeed yet... Seems to me that some redirection with "1", "2", "&" must take place, but don't know how to do it... Here's my trying: for /f "usebackq tokens=2 delims=: " %i in (`start /i pmon....

I am lurking in the shadows. :twisted: Actually I have found another hobby that has been sucking up my time - VCV Rack, a Eurorack modular synth emulator for the computer. I am learning all I can about synthesis, as well as creating patches that play themselves so I can use them as accompaniment fo...

Dfswin.exe it's a cmd-version of dfsee.exe which is a generic disk, partition and filesystem utility for maintenance and data-recovery. Yes it's possible to devide this task to several ones but cutten possibilities remind me circumcision...

If you trust me, use the lightweight executable in the attached zip file. It bahaves pretty much the same as the macro code above. That's how you may use it: @echo off &setlocal EnableExtensions EnableDelayedExpansion cd /d "%~dp0" set "hex=" for /f "tokens=1* delims=[]" %%i in ('drivedump.exe "Phy...

Does anybody know what's happened with Dave and where his pure integral perfect code?

Doing this in a script is an impressive achievement... But calling the WIN32 APIs directly in C is far more efficient! My old sector.exe tool, available in the System Tools Library , allows dumping disk sectors as hexadecimal, copying them to and from files, etc. I've even used it multiple times to...
