See following error:
G:\>dir /a-d /b /s|findstr /n
FINDSTR: Bad command line

You forgot the dot. It matches "any character". See my origin command line:

You wrote that you want to get every file . In this case you have to exclude folders using dir /a-d . A simple way to display a number for each file is to pipe the dir output to findstr. dir /a-d /b /s|findstr /n . It's also possible to process this output in a for /f loop. for /f "tokens=1* de...

Not sure what you're looking for.
Try something like that:

What is that good for?

There seem to be 4 predefined streams 0 stdIn 1 stdOut 2 stdErr 3 incoming file stream ____________________________________________________ You could display the stream numbers 0 and 1 *.bat @prompt $g$s >xyz.txt echo( <xyz.txt more +1 @echo off del xyz.txt pause>nul Output: > echo( 1>xyz.txt > more...

You said "..Lucida Console indeed supports characters wider than 2 Bytes (>0xFF)." >0xFF is wider than one byte Oh, you're absolutely right. 2 Hex digits represent 1 Byte. For some strange reason I mixed it up I hope you however understood what I was talking about. I fiddled with my regis...

Saying a font supports unicode is a funny thing.. It's maybe not exactly fitting but it's not that funny since Lucida Console indeed supports characters wider than 2 Bytes (>0xFF). First I opened charmap, selected Lucida Console and character set Unicode. I copied character 0x0414 (capital cyrillic...

I use the rastered font because it's the default in western europe, US and many others. Lucida Console supports unicode which enables characters with more than 2 Bytes width (e.g. Chinese, Japanese, perhaps Russian ...). I never experimented with it, for that reason I don't know how it changes the b...

The help for REN is Renames a file or files. RENAME [drive:][path]filename1 filename2. REN [drive:][path]filename1 filename2. Note that you cannot specify a new drive or path for your destination file. The last sentence shows your fault. You must not specify the drive and path in the second argument...

I'm not familiar with that FTP stuff. For that reason I normally avoid to reply to such topics. But in your case it's obvious why it doesn't work. You have to strictly separate the following: 1. Batch files are interpreted by cmd.exe. The commands in a batch file have nothing to do with the commands...

It depends on your locale settings which codepages are used. You will find them in the registry. @echo off &setlocal for /f "tokens=2*" %%i in ('reg query "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Nls\CodePage" /v "OEMCP"') do set /a OEMCP=%%j for /f "tokens=2*&qu...

Hi Ravk.

We always try to help but in your case I couldn't help skipping the reason behind. We won't solve your homework.
Further more this is a Batch forum and C programming is off topic.

Hi Alan. Please explain WHEN the quotes might be needed Well, it's only to protect you from trailing spaces. Your code should work as well, but that wouldn't ... set ln= & set /p ln= ... due to the space between equal sign and ampersand. I'm not sure about your second problem. You could try to w...

Interesting attempt

@jeb
For some reason it works by creating a "false" PATHEXT environment.
