Thanks again for the reply T3RRY , it is very much appreciated. I still can't get my head round how to get this to work. If I run the code it asks for the minutes, I enter those and press enter and I don't get the revised time. Thank you for the time and effort you have put into this. It is not impo...

Thanks again for the reply T3RRY and detailed explanations, it is very much appreciated. I will have to leave this. I am a 60+ somebody who just likes doing things to keep my brain active. I am not a programmer in any way, but unfortunately this is beyond my capabilities. I did try and I just couldn...

I have to input the minutes twice, and then after it has finished, a message briefly pops up. I had to add a pause to see the output. Here is the code . . . @Echo off Set /P "Minutes=Enter Minutes: " Call :Offset Minutes pause :Offset <Days| Minutes | Hours | Seconds> Echo(%*|%__APPDIR__%findstr.exe...

Thanks again for the reply T3RRY, it is very much appreciated.

I couldn't get this to work in a Batch script because it didn't ask for the minutes to input.

Am I being a bit slow?

Thanks for the reply T3RRY, it is very much appreciated.

That works. It is obviously one of those situations where PS is far better at achieving something rather than using a Batch script.

Stay well and be SAFE.

Good afternoon, I also tried this which works as long as the the MINUTES are not equal to or greater than 120 . . . @echo off set /A TimeTest=90 set hh=%time:~0,2% if "%hh:~,1%"=="0" set hh=%hh:~1,2% set mm=%time:~3,2% if "%mm:~,1%"=="0" set mm=%mm:~1,2% set /A mm=%mm%+%TimeTest% ::if %mm% GEQ 60 se...

Good evening, The code below works . . . set /p "time=>Please enter the Time in minutes and press <Enter>: " set /a time=%time%*60 if %time% GEQ 1 ( echo The computer is getting ready to go to Sleep . . . timeout %time% /nobreak > nul %SystemRoot%\system32\rundll32.exe powrprof.dll, SetSuspendState ...

Thank you for the reply, it is appreciated. I took out ALL the deletes and I still get the same message! I think it has something to do with this because it appears AFTER the line . . . echo. & echo SUMMARY [ TODAY ONLY ] WAS FOUND. for /f "tokens=* delims= " %%a in (%Today%) do ( find "%%a" < %TFN%...

Good afternoon, Well, I have changed the code and managed to get it to work. There is however, ONE Error that I can't seem to track down. When there is data available, I get the message [ I have marked it ]. . . SUMMARY [ TODAY ONLY ] WAS FOUND. The system cannot find the file specified. <<<<<<<<< >...

Good morning, I hope you are all keeping well and SAFE. I have been working on something for days and days, and I am so very close to it working but I can't seem to get the last bit to work. I really have tried very hard. He is what I am attempting to do . . . [1] If the file does NOT exist, show a ...

Good evening, I have two lines of code which work individually . . . for /f "tokens=*" %%A in ('dir /b /a:-d') do echo %%~nxA %%~zA >> "Folders_Files.txt" dir /b /a:-d | findstr /v /i "Folders_Files.txt List_Folder_Files_1.bat" >> "Folders_Files.txt" I have tried so many variations but I can't seem ...

wmic output takes a little more work, refer to the remarks for more. Well, thanks to your code and explanations I was able to achieve what I needed, thank you. In fact I have extended it to provide two more outputs as below. The first one [ CODE 1 ] is your one and works perfectly. My question is p...

fyi, choice does accept numbers 0-9 in addition to alphabetical characters. Note using a for /f loop to iterate over the choice command will return letters in upper case, even if the choice options are declared using lower case. You can also obtain the available drives using wmic to define (and dis...

Thank you ALL for the replies. I am a bit poorly at the moment so I am sorry that I have not got back to any of you. When I feel a little better I will thoroughly go through this whole thread and take it all in, and answer each of your posts individually. You are all brilliant at what you do. I thou...
