The first problem is obviously the | (pipe), which is maybe the most poisonous character. You have to escape them with ^ (caret), so echo | will become echo ^| dbenhan said about it so I'm not going into further explanation. The second problem I see is that the way your code is built. It's not wrong...

@Sounak@9434: Why do you split long lines at a few words? Perhaps you did not realized that this practice makes the text more difficult to read! I'm sorry for that Antonio, I will try to make my repuest more clear this time. I'm not a native english speaker , so sometime my english is somehow probl...

A little request from me again Antonio, can you please add the keyboard button support to getmouse.exe so that it will return the value of the key pressed like in getkey.exe . For things like that I am currently using getinput.exe with hover(which is really helpful). But in some cases Getmouse.exe i...

One thing I don't understand... is how Notepad++ uses UTF-8 encoding to save the batch file and it works fine, yet a batch file saved with UTF-8 in Notepad doesn't run properly. :-/ I'm not quite sure about this but as much as I have seen when I open .bat files saved as utf-8 in notepad++ with subl...

Another little trick if I may. As aGermen said in his post codepage 437 supports almost all charecters so we are using chcp 437 at the top of our code. Now the thing is that we need to write the file in the same charecter-set. And here comes handy notepad++. Goto 'format->charecter sets->OEM-US' As ...

Thanks .
I was quite wondering that if my last two posts were that booring to be replied

Though you have made your script unnecesserily long and slow. Try using "if errorlevel 1 command" instead of 'if "%errorlevel%" == "1" command'
And also avoid using so many goto :label and use

I'm not quite sure what you want to do or what you want to achive but if you just want to strip away the filepath leaving only filename this code may help.(untested) setlocal enabledelayedexpansion set strip=0 set "file=%filename_with_path%" & rem change the %filename_with_path% with w...

Eventually while creating the last code it hit me that in the very same way a dragging support could also be added. Check how is it? @echo off setlocal enabledelayedexpansion cmdgfx "box 0 b b0 29,9,17,2 & box 0 a 20 30,10,0,0 & box 0 c 20 45,10,0,0" set boxp=30 10 :main for /l %%1...

This is a concept-thing, I'm not saying it's perfect and you might be able to find some unexpected behavior (e.g. hold down left mouse button and enter hover area=select button immediately) I found an (very)easy solution to this problem. Just add the value of LMB to another variable(In my case OLMB...

You should add a tasklist check to check if the browser is closed and also a 'if exist' check to know if the browser is installed or not as let's say the person has Chrome installed but not Firefox. As your script deletes Firefox history first it would print 'system cannot find the file path specif...

As aGermen said in your last question a batch script not running can't do anything. Though if you are triggering shutdown from a batch script(with shutdown command) you can just add a /f switch to force close all open windows or do a 'taskill' command(maybe a taskill and then a delaying loop with ta...

for /f "delims=|".....

True?

As filename can't contain "|"(pipe) character by default it does not matter if you use | as a delim or just leave "delims="

Sounak

I am just replying based on the command you said earlier 'dir c:\a\b\c /a-d /on /b'

Thank you very much Antonio for this quick reply. Maybe add it to the first post too. Just another small request from me. Add a '/t msec' switch to the tool. So that if no movement is detected within that time the code will terminate automatically. EDIT:- Recently noticed that this software does ret...
