Re: how do i make an output of ECHO SET V5=2>> %BAT%

If you had shown the common decency to have acknowledged my code earlier than the twelve days, since I offered it to you, I'd have happily explained to you how to get it to work properly with your modified commands. I gave you ample opportunity to do so, and prompted you about that too, but you deci...

Re: a problem finding a current directory name

Do you really want help? do you only want help of specific individuals? or do you feel as if you are entitled to free assistance? Getting help from others is not a right, but something you must earn. This is a two way process, you ask for assistance and willing helpers try to assist you. If however,...

Re: getting current, parent directory name with a special & letter

I'm not sure why I'm bothering to post this, as you made absolutely no acknowledgement of my last answer to you, but as this is a new year, I'm going to try to give you at least one more opportunity to show common courtesy. @ECHO OFF ECHO %%~dp0 = "%~dp0" ECHO( FOR %%G IN ("%~dp0.")

Something along theses lines, perhaps: @ECHO OFF SETLOCAL ENABLEEXTENSIONS DISABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION SET "BAT=.\123.BAT" ( ECHO @ECHO OFF ECHO SETLOCAL ENABLEEXTENSIONS DISABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION ECHO SET "D0=C:\UTILITY\DOSBox-X\!BOX-X-Interface1.BAT" ECHO( ECHO SET "D1=C:\UTILITY\EDT\EDT1.EXE" ECHO SET ...

Re: issue with IF statement and weird character

Here is my analysis of your issue thus far: You are running some code which you've not shown us, within a FOR loop, and which outputs filenames to a variable. I'm faced with the character as a result of a process I do not have control over. The character is ONLY in the name of the file. What I'm say...

Re: issue with IF statement and weird character

Just be aware everyone that the OP specifically stated I can type it in the command Which means that they do know what the character is, and how to type it, and there is therefore no reason for them not to provide that information. There's a flaw in the theory, which is the fact I'm faced with the ...

Re: issue with IF statement and weird character

As I initially stated, and also mentioned by penpen above, it may simply be a chosen codepage issue. I'd suspect your actual character is most likely an extended ASCII upper or lower case i with a grave, or acute. So in codepage 1252 that would be dec 204 and 205 (hex CC and CD), or dec 236 and 237 ...

Re: is there a difference between"DELIMS=" and "Tokens=*"

To begin with, your assessment of AA is incorrect. AA will pass each line which does not begin with a semicolon, ignoring any leading space and horizontal tab characters, to the DO command(s). BB, on the other hand, will pass each line which does not begin with a semicolon, to the DO command(s). The...

Re: issue with IF statement and weird character

The first thing you should note is that you are not using the recommended correct syntax for a string comparison with the IF command. What you should always use is: IF "X" == "" ECHO K Because the doublequotes protect possible poison characters If that alone does not fix your issue, then I'd suggest...

Re: HDD size

The diskdrive size is the size reported for the drive, and its contained partitions have no bearing on it. You could find out with a 'quick' command in the prompt… This should output your disks, their sizes, then the partitions with their sizes too: For /F "EOL=_ Tokens=1,* Delims==" %G In ('((Echo ...

Re: Obtaining one .dwg file from each directory in a list

"delims=" should be "eol=? delims=", %%G\*.dwg should be "%%G\*.dwg", file=%%F should be "File=%%F", and the most important one, %file% should be !File!.
