Perhaps it is slow, as it always creates a new variable context and has to copy all variables. So it creates environment stack (or how can I call it) each time CALL is used. Can we someshow see the size of this memory usage? I think (but still have to make some tests) that this is visibile in nonpa...

I'm still a little unclear - do you want to create an image file and write text on a plain coloured background? Does this need to be done with default tools in the OS? Which version of Windows is it for? This would be great. I have such a program (I am not sure if I have a source - a friend made it...

I think he wants to make a binary file (in his case an image file (PNG, JPG...)) with batch. With the help of this http://www.dostips.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=5326#p32108 here is a sample what he might want. I will create a .png from Wiki (m, png image: m) First create a data file (.png dum...

This is great for system managment. Unfortunatelly I am not in an IT anymore and I don't do any PC repairs or something like that but boot CDs like this are great for such purposes or secure browsing.

I hope you will succeed (though I can't help you).

@aGerman: I did not try Penpen's -i solution (don't know why - maybe because expand -? does not show it (XP). @penpen: I will test both your solutions tomorrow (currently I only have a computer with XP and not with Win7 at hand). (Though I don't understand your second solution (aren't they the same?...

Thank you all! I re-created the .cab file with the _chrs_ folder in it and now it works on Win7. The command I used is: expand cabinet_file.cab -F:*.chr . If I use expand cabinet_file.cab -F:*.chr _chrs_ I then have a folder _chrs_ with _chrs_ subfolder. But... If I use the same command on XP it doe...

Hi all! I am having probems with this http://www.dostips.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=39196#p39196 . It runs OK (creates all .chr files) on XP but on Windows 7 Starter it does not work at all. Error message I get is: Expanding File chrsdec.ca_ Incomplete. Error Code=0x800700a1 Error Description: Path n...

Probably we would need a dump of this logfile - to see if it contains ESCAPE characters.

Print screen too (if possible).

Thank you both. I am getting close.

I will incorporate everything into my programs and do some more tests.

Thanks for the moment.

I really like yuor solution - short, fast but... mshta does not return to .cmd - it just stays frozen. Any ideas? Also one thing I must solve: example shows two matches: '6' which is correct and part of the number '56' which is not correct. If a character before or after is numeric then this should ...

Hi all! Let's have a file with some 'graphic' (ascii art to be exact): _____ 5 6 /ELEV/ 1 ________________/ /_______ / / / / 4/ 1st floor / / / /_______________/____/ ____/ 3 / / 2 56/___/ Desired output (number 6 in this example should be in color - it does not display correctly (at least for me)):...

This works for me (probably for files with exclusive lock only?):



returns ERRORLEVEL 1 if file is locked, 0 if not locked.

aGermans excelent file dump (viewtopic.php?p=14361#p14361) can be of use here:

1. dump the file
2. read the dump and create necessary files (viewtopic.php?p=32108#p32108)
