Hi, yes it works without delayed expansion cmd.exe /c "for %# in (%) DO "\\localhost\C$\Users\%username%\Desktop\%#path%#foo bar.bat"" It's not bullet proof, but it should work in the most cases. It could fail, if a variables exist like set "# in (=FAIL" or set ") DO "\\localhost\C$\Users\=FAIL TOO"...

Hi CJM, I cannot get GOTO :EOF (nor GOTO:EOF, with or without space, in all-caps) to function with DisableExtensions unless an :EOF (or :eof) label is present. It's the expected behavior. With Disabled Extensions there is no implicit :EOF label anymore. I'm not sure what Sponge Belly said with, if h...

Hi,

for me it was unexpected, that wildcards are expanded, if the content is in %1..%9 or even in a FOR meta variable.

Hallo Bleifuss,

I just tested it on Win10 and it worked,
but I'm sure I saw a similar post about broken escape sequences after some commands.
But as always I can't find the post anymore.

After review your original problem, I see it's considerably easier, because the output of your program can be used directly. I assume, the output always begins with "CPU_0" You only need two files (GETCPUID.bat and ADD.BAT) GETCPUID.bat @echo off REM Trampoline function for %%L in (%0) do if "%%L"==...

Hi cajunjon, you could split your problem into smaller problems and use some helper files. The list of your problems You need to assign the program output to a variable Split a string into parts substring works only for strings without spaces or other delimiters A variable can't contain an equal sig...

Hi, the error occurs after the file was read, because the FOR loop tries to read the next file! @echo off echo this is myfile>myfile.txt echo this is myapo> "'myapo.txt" echo this is myapo1> "'myapo1.txt" for /F "usebackq delims=" %%G IN ("'myapo.txt" "myfile.txt" ) do echo #1 %%G for /F "usebackq d...

Hi miskox, echo %cd% tested, it works in XP, but not in w98. That was expected, because XP has nearly the same features and bugs like W10. It could be a good solution to write different code for XP and W98 and detect which part has to be used. Something like @echo off >NUL echo dummy & goto :XP REM ...

You could try this one, it works on win98 (tested) and should work on XP, too @echo off if "%1" == "" goto :main goto %1 :main set drv=unknown %COMSPEC% /c %0 :getdrv > drvtmp.bat call drvtmp.bat echo my drive is: %drv% goto :eof :getdrv prompt set drv=$N echo on %=must be empty=% @echo off :eof

Hi Darvil,

take a look at Attempt to catch arrow keystrokes.
There seems no way to detect the arrow keys with pure batch, but it's possible wit powershell and Aacini built some good helper programs for that.

Hi,

as JFL already said, the echo %0 is the problem.

If you want to see the content without problems, you could use the REM technique.

But there was a bug Bug in vt101 Alternate Screen Buffer?
- Crashes on company-managed computer with Windows 10.0.16299.1625
- Works fine on another one managed by me, with Windows 10.0.19041.84

Hi barnabe0057, you used the variable "var" instead of "string". Your replace logic can't work, because if you found two stars at a position you append to the current result a star, else you append the character at the position, so you effectivly ALWAYS append the character at the current position. ...

Hi, same failure on my system! Tested on Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.17763.1397] That's 1809 (What a stupid naming chaos) But I simplified the code a bit @echo off for /F %%A in ('echo prompt $E ^| cmd') do set "ESC=%%A" cls echo %ESC%[2;2H * [2,2] Works ( start "" https://example.com echo %ESC%...

Hi juleklO, your question is a bit off topic for batch files. Btw. The "GreenCell PowerProof 2000VA" is an UPS not a PSU. Professional PSU's have an IPMI or redfish interface. Many UPS claims to have an interface, but they differ from each vendor and model in many cases it's simply crap, undocumente...
