I suggest that if a character is acceptable to Windows as being part of a file name, then that character cannot be safely used as a "suffix" to ECHO, otherwise CMD.EXE will trawl through the current directory and then the %PATH% trying to find "ECHO+" with an executable extensio...

Hi santhosh,

if you know the content it should be easy

Code: Select all

mkdir sat_%date%
... do some stuff here
rmdir sat_%date%

But it will fail if your date has a format like "10/08/2010", the "/" is not allowed as (directory-)name.

It only works on an english version, because you get something like "current date is 10/08/2010" "Enter new date: (DD-MM-YY)" or it also works with "Enter new date: (YY-DD-MM)" but in german you got "Geben Sie das neue Datum ein: (TT-MM-JJ)" So the script can'...

The first is when I write the data ECHO %name% >> "ADDRESS.%newCode1%.%newCode2%" it's add a blank space at the end of line It's because of the space behind %name% You can use ECHO %name%>> "ADDRESS.%newCode1%.%newCode2%" or >> "ADDRESS.%newCode1%.%newCode2%" ECHO %nam...

Hi, the problem: If you want to echo a variable that could be empty you can not use echo %var% because the output is not empty, instead you got "echo is enabled (on)" or something similar. So most people use the echo. trick echo.%var% This works, but fails if you have anywhere in your path...

As you can see I escaped the brackets too, but no success. Any ideas? Yes. It is the ampersand, it is active because the escape for second quote isn't working. (I suppose it is not neccessary to escape the brackets) So the command is splitting set "newstring=^" & (" set "new...

Are you interested in "very special" functions or do you have a question about one of your functions?

jeb

Or you can use it like

Code: Select all

set now=%time%
echo %now:~0,2%_%now:~3,2%_%now:~6,2%

Also, you can read about it with set /?

jeb

You got problems, because numbers with prefixed "0" are interpreted as octal numbers

A simple way is to prepend a "1" to the number and then remove it mathematical.

Code: Select all

set line=abcd00045fghi
set var=1%line:~4,5%
set /a var=2*var - 2%var:~1%
echo var=%var%

jeb

It is a litte bit tricky. @echo off setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion set line=abcde1234fghil set Rec1=5 set Rec2=4 call set var1=%%line:~%Rec1%,%Rec2%%% echo var1=%var1% set var2=!line:~%Rec1%,%Rec2%! echo var2=%var2% Variant1 works because after the first expansion you got call set var1=%line:~5,4% ...

Try it with "Convert decimal to hex, and bytes to chars"

Hi, you could use schtasks (exists on Vista, XP, perhaps also on W2000). Normaly you use it for starting a process (on any computer) at a given time. But if you set the starttime to 1.1.2000 then it will never start, but you can start it directly with /run. So you can write schtasks /create /s clien...
