Re: Optimization of Mass Copy Via Batch

I am not familiar with NAS-devices, so the following idea might or might not be possible; typically when you want to send the same data to multiple recipients simultaneously, you would use broadcast (send to all nodes in the network) or multicast (send to multiple nodes in a network) in order to red...

Re: Open, Add Line, Save, Next File Help

I would expect such a result if your source files to not contain line endings at all or no line endings of the form "\r\n" (in hex "0D 0A"). On the other hand, that should have been preserved in your resulting files, which show the (windows) endline. Do you have opened and saved the resulting files ...

Re: How to define screen buffer size for "Mode 120,60" command?

I only added a debug output, so you can see whether or not the error message is misleading.
I didn't change the program logic.

Re: How to define screen buffer size for "Mode 120,60" command?

You should test, whether or not the error text really is misleading. Since the buffer is set first, it might be smaller than the actual window size at that point: powershell.exe -noprofile -command "&{Write-Host "initial WindowSize $(get-host).UI.RawUI.WindowSize"; $w=(get-host).ui.rawui;$w.buffersi...

Re: Batch file to merge two column strings from two files into one file

Just wanted to mention that you might get unwanted results, if your example is not representative. In SQL terms (which is the easiest to describe a possible issue): If you assume the line number to be the related column to join, then the the solution is a natural inner join. If that is, what you wan...

Re: Batch command

Batch is an interpreter language, which means that the interpreter is always loaded (which under windows typically is cmd.exe).
So, maybe your batch file but leaving out the first line ("start cmd.exe") is, what you are looking for.

Re: Replace strings scripts not done good job

Yes, within batch the double quote guarantees you to parse the string as a whole. But you then replace the string without those doublequotes (which is exactly, what you want, because there are no double quotes int the text files you change). The question then is, do you want to allow partial string ...

Re: Replace strings scripts not done good job

The program repeatedly call the function ":schemes", that replaces one string in a text file with another, based on the content of "pkg_data_temp.txt", which is processed line by line from top to down. The issue then is caused by the fact that some of the lines to replace are also part of other line...

Re: Wokring out battle messages and lol

It uses word lists based on a division of %random%, for example %random%/10922 results in an out put of 0, 1 or 2. (though i am half sure it should be 1,2,3) If i rremember right, then random is a non negative and non zero 16-bit signed int, so the result of "%random%/10922" should be either 0, 1, ...

AA is n-file x n-file operations and not n-file operations ??? If you read this twice (or three times or even four times) would you get any sensible information out of it?

Though that information is technically correct, this is not the issue of the OP,
since nnnmmm used that specific detail corrrectly in his opening post.

Re: issue with IF statement and weird character

The actual codepage of the "cmd.exe" might be interesting (using "chcp.com"), in case it's no control character, but some form of whitespace-character like some version of a "comma".

Re: Obfuscate code.

I would have expected any intermediate batch file user to easily get the password (at least here in this case, where we are allowed to see the code), though i have no access to such a group to check.
