Re: AutoCheck webpage for new content
What is 'new content' ? The most simplistic comparison would be to get the web page, and compare it using FC on the next download in say 30 minutes time. If that works for you then a VBS script can download the web page, or you can use WGET. This was my thinking since wget is good for downloading s...

Re: CSV to QIF Using Batch?
I figured out how to use an if else to solve the issue of the paycheck date two digit being the same as the year two digit. And all has been fine until today... So all of a sudden, the batch file is no longer reading data from the correct file. I've even tried reverting to an earlier version of the ...

Re: If Else with FIND command
Oops! I think I figured it out. I was using errorlevel 1 as being successful.

Re: If Else with FIND command
I hate to bump an old thread, but I'm having trouble getting this to work. It seems like the errorlevel just isn't begin registered by find to be checked by if. I've used if else in the following: FIND "/14/14" IMPORT > NUL IF ERRORLEVEL 1 ( S:\SCRIPTS\REPLACE.BAT /14/14 /14'14 IMPORT > .....

Re: sending things over serial
Your best bet may be to find an older DOS comm program like quicklink that had scripting capability.

Find Files Older than XX/XX/XX
I was looking at the output of an xcopy from one drive to another to update newer files and started thinking of how to simply query a drive for a list of files older than xx/xx/xx. Find can be used to find files of a certain date easily with dir /s|find /i "xx-xx-xxxx" but I want something...

Re: Programming helpful tool suggestions
Sorta seems there should be a file checker, like a spell checker in word. Highlight possibly missing a variable symbol here or this echo will echo nothing, this variable will be empty. AutoHotKey at least runs a check first (of the whole file) before running, it even points to where the issue is. J...

Re: Programming helpful tool suggestions
Samir, My notepad++ comes with keyword highlighting. Not necessarily syntax highlighting. Some examples it highlights FOR or SET, variables. It doesn't tell you if they're wrong. It is helpful though. I've seen that before, and I know notepad++ has extensions, so I was hoping someone built one for ...

I see your point. I guess it would only help basic batch file development.

Re: RAID 1.3 via DOS?
In simple terms, a buffer can be just 1 MB and the file is read in 1 MB pieces and processed. Oh, I think I know why I didn't get this at first--I was thinking of serially processing the compares. So in the proposed scenario, you compare both files to the source in parallel, ie you read the source ...

Re: Programming helpful tool suggestions
Advanced Batch is based around tips and tricks and undocumented behaviour, and that behaviour changes even more as further bugs and tricks are found. It would be a daunting task to create a complete and fully featured syntax checker - but there are editors with batch syntax highlighting that can he...
