@aGerman: A translation from EBCDIC to ASCII was my initial thought that I had to use in the past. I did not check if current WinAPI can do this. So if this is not supperted by API then we can call it a 'custom' translation table. As I said: this was just an idea - the question is if it is really ne...

...Then I'll leave it as it is unless somebody finds a bug or has a request to add another feature ... Maybe just an idea (probably not neeeded at the moment): Add a support for custom code page(s). convertcp.exe my_private_CP1 my_private_CP2 <file_in.txt >file_out.txt and there you have a translat...

Thank you, Steffen! New release almost daily. Great!

Again I must say Thank you! to aGerman for providing this program. As he mentioned I had very old MS-DOS 16-bit exe which does not work on x64. I received a source code from the author (written in Turbo Pascal). aGerman said that it is easier to write a program from scratch then to try and relink it...

The standard answer whenever trying to work with "problem" characters - Use delayed expansion. Works in all situations except when expanding FOR loop variable that may contain ! setlocal enableDelayedExpansion >temporary.cmmnt echo(!cmmnt! endlocal Dave Benham Thank you. Problem solved. S...

What can I do?

I see that commands:



and



are causing me problems if cmmnt contains ( or ).

I will see if this viewtopic.php?f=3&t=4213 helps me.

Thanks.

Hello all! @echo off set cmmnt= &rem ONE SPACE <nul set /p "=%cmmnt%" >temporary.cmmnt for %%q in (temporary.cmmnt) do (set /a strlen=%%~zq) echo strlen=%strlen%_ Executing this on XP gives result 1, executing this on WIN10 gives rezult 0. Any ideas why? Changing the code to: @echo off...

Let's have two .cmd procedures: a.cmd: @echo off echo A exit And b.cmd: @echo off echo B Now execute a.cmd and then b.cmd: c:\a.cmd&b.cmd Result: CMD window closes.

Until someone provides a solution this is what you can do:

1. copy all files to USB stick
2. on USB stick: delete files you don't need

Sad day, really. He really helped us all.

Statistics don't lie:



This shows how great he was. I am sure he will be missed.

RIP

P.S. Anyone knows how old was he?

I think of doing it this way: 1. read the first file and write each field as a seperate record (or a separate file) 2. read the second file and check if whole record exists in the previous file (or if a file exists - if characters would allow creation of a such file). @echo off set str1=2 4 6 7 8 9 ...

You could use somethinig like this: @echo off set textvar=some text set textvar=%textvar% &rem 50 spaces set textvar=%textvar:~0,50% echo length 1 2 3 4 5 6_ echo length _123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890_ echo textvar=_%textvar%_ Output c:\ length 1 2 3 4 5 6_ length ...
