Re: Notepad bug
Momentarily i can't check whether or not notepad offers selecting a specific encoding for other versions of windows. Wow. I never even knew that was an option in Notepad. I have always just opened up a text file by using my mouse. Interesting to know that it is just guessing the wrong encoding. I w...

Notepad bug
Hi Everyone. Long time no see. Got a new job working in the Unix world so kind of gave up on the batch file stuff. But........today my old job called me because of an issue with a text file they were viewing in notepad. The file was nothing but a single line. A trailer record in this case as the fil...

Re: How to remove a path from all lines in file? Filenames should be kept.
I just went back and looked at a lot of your threads. I see no reason why you shouldn't know how to do this already with all of the code you have been given the past 10 years. Many of your threads show the usage of the `FOR` command modifiers that allows you to split apart the path and file name and...

Re: Wmic.exe
I don't expect that MS is going to remove WMIC from the CLI tools in the near future. Did you find any information that makes you believe they are about to do so, Squashman? However, PS is an alternative as well as JS. And if I have to calculate with datetime values, I already tend to use them rath...

Wmic.exe
What is everyone's plan for when Microsoft pulls the plug on wmic.exe? it has always been our stop gap for getting the date and time in a consistent format. I guess I dont mind calling out to Powershell. Penny for your thoughts.

Re: Check which of many network domains the current machine is in then run a script
Batch files execute each line in the script from top to bottom. Regardless of the goto, once the for command is done executing it is going to execute the next command in the script.

Re: Find data in an external database with Batch
Three quarters of your problem is not even batch file related. The majority of your knowledge deficit is making the DB queries to verify the data. This forum is not a DB forum. If you need help with the DB queries you will need to ask on another site.

Re: Batch file to delete specific files on multiple folders
Like your question over on StackOverFlow , I find your technical requirements vague and incomplete. You need to be very specific and provide accurate details of everything.

Regardless this site has discussed escaping the percent symbol ...

Re: goto-jump destroys for-vars/loop
Batch file process from the top down. Once you break out of the FoR construct it finds the label from the top down and starts processing line by line again. If you need to break out of something without breaking the loop then use the CALL command to spawn out to a separate function.
