Re: Batch File to EXE and Hide Files

Sounds like you need a different batch packager. The ones I have used in the past allow to include any additional resource files you need.

Yeah. And since it looks like they are using Vista or 7 the batch file could use the CLIP command to copy the path or file name to the clipboard.

Re: Explorer selection?

You can drag and drop a file onto a batch file. The files you drag and drop onto a batch file becomes its command line arguments so you can access them just like you would if you were launching the batch file with a command line from the cmd prompt. @echo off echo This is the path of the file: %~f1 ...

Re: Very basic guess the number program HELP!

Re: run a (16-bit) .COM executable that has been renamed

Hmm. I wonder if we could trick it with Alternate Data Streams.

Re: run a (16-bit) .COM executable that has been renamed

I'm trying to run a couple of 16-bit legacy DOS programs from a standard windows XP dos prompt. The problem is that the file extensions have been renamed from .COM to .COS and they are stored on read-only media and I can't copy them (special environment). You read but can't copy them? I know we cou...

Re: problems with FINDSTR in multiline search

Your search parameter also has another fundamental flaw.
You are searching for any amount of numbers, then a LF and then a semi colon but your example is number semicolon and then there would be a LF if your file is unix based.

Re: Wait until application finished

You may be caught in a catch22. Some programs do not play nice with the /wait switch either. But either way how would we know the program is finished if it is not closing itself?

Re: school assignment, any help asap is very appreciated

Well I don't think posting twice will help you any quicker. What does your teacher get paid to do?

Open up a command prompt and type: for /?
You can do the same thing with the net command to see the syntax. Can probably do the same with Google.
