Re: batch script to log into email account

1) The OP is from 2009. 2) We don't know the browser the op is using, so we can't know whether or not that browser is capable of auto login. 3) Adding login and password to cookies never ever is a good idea. 4) Unless the website doesn't support outo login, adding login and password to a cookie have...

Re: finding parent dir and current dir names in a branch

AA is n-file x n-file operations and not n-file operations ??? If you read this twice (or three times or even four times) would you get any sensible information out of it? Just guessing that nnnmmm tries to make a claim about quadratic run time requirement of that command. The input seem to be the ...

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

Though that information is technically correct, this is not the issue of the OP,
since nnnmmm used that specific detail corrrectly in his opening post.

Re: issue with IF statement and weird character

The actual codepage of the "cmd.exe" might be interesting (using "chcp.com"), in case it's no control character, but some form of whitespace-character like some version of a "comma".

Re: Obfuscate code.

I would have expected any intermediate batch file user to easily get the password (at least here in this case, where we are allowed to see the code), though i have no access to such a group to check.

Re: Coding challenge for any interested parties

You should also check against code injection inputs like 'test=123" & echo(' with a big enough length like 10. I only found one reliable way to check whether the input string is empty. I'm not sure if i should post it here as it may spoil the fun out of it for others to discover that for themselves....

Re: Coding challenge for any interested parties

I think, you need to provide some more detail on the input: - the encoding of the characters: Which codepage do you assume to be used? - the source type: Is the input stored in file or do you retrieve that from STDIN? - the source format: Is there a delimiter, that seperates both inputs (string and ...

Re: How to close cmd after Programm startet

I'm not familiar with OpenJDK, but if it's similar to the JDK, then there are two executables: One for windows ("javaw.exe") and one for the console window ("java.exe"). If you start the console version, then the console will stay open, because its streams (STDIN, STDOUT and STDERR) are connected wi...

Looks odd, but seems to work, I can't create a file which is fetched by the "?<" expression.
Shouldn't it match any file with no extension,
or does "replace" ignore those undocumented wildcards?

Re: Batch file edit text file

When there are unknown numbers in a particular place, then you either have to get to know those (e.g. using the "for/f"-command), or have to use something that is able to search for structures in strings. So that depends on the source file you want to process; if there's are only a single (or very f...

I don't know about the bug you mentioned, so the following might or might not ne usefull. In my experience a changing offset is caused by the "Set Time Zone Automatically" feature, which is realized by an informed guessing of your current geolocation; see: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/uwp/api/Wi...

Re: How to return ascii value in 'bg _Kbd'

The parameter "_Kbd" commands the bg.exe tool to read a character from the input buffer if present, else returns 0.
As this is clearly not what you (back_slash) are looking for, you should follow Steffen's suggestion to use "Kbd" instead.
