@Gerhard, @Aacini I've been interested in the challenge you both involved. I read two links: https://www.allaboutcircuits.com/tools/resistor-color-code-calculator/ https://www.allaboutcircuits.com/textbook/reference/chpt-2/resistor-color-codes/ and found some discrepancy between those two. From the ...

Hmm... I recalled that I've seen this thread time ago. About certutil -urlcache I found the only story in Russian that it's identified by Windows Defender as a trojan. Original text and translated from Russian: Злоумышленники любят использовать встроенные функции ОС для загрузки необходимых файлов н...

Today accidentally I knew about the command that acts as a downloader: certutil -urlcache -split -f URL FILE Reading documentation doesn't make its understanding clearer. I slightly played with the command and found that the "-split" option is not necessary and downloading works fine as well: certut...

One more stuff I think is important. What if the file or directory matching the "?" pattern exists with no access to regular user? For example, the file or directory is owned by another user. I played around with files owned by Administrator. The command replace /u /w works fine in this case as well.

Honestly, not everything is clear for me here. The solution is extremely tricky. But one thing I found seems a bit buggy and requires to be fixed: the replace command use. It works fine until any file named as one character appears. No one-character named file C:\Temp>dir /b ? C:\Temp>replace /w ? ....

I tested TYPE on some examples like: type example-utf8-without-bom.txt | hexdump -C It showed the correct sequence cf 80 . I know it's not complete proof. Probably something like setlocal enabledelayedexpansion & findstr /r "[U+0080-U+10FFFF]" in pseudo-code could help us but I am not sure. And I'm ...

My earliest thought was to use FINDSTR. But it has the very important "Character limits for command line search strings" described here: https://ss64.com/nt/findstr-escapes.html. I tried to play with the recommendation given there with no any success. I tried with FINDSTR /r "RE" FILENAME or TYPE FI...

I remarked the main differences:

Sorry. I didn't notice that.

Hi Steffen

I guess, it doesn't work properly. I replaced the second line with and it returned

is UTF-8
Press any key to continue . . .

And it's slower than my script. I'm afraid we won't get any advantage with the branchless-utf8 technique.

Hi Steffen,

Thank you for the hint and link to the code. Also I found the full explanation here https://nullprogram.com/blog/2017/10/06/. It's really impressive work. I am going to meditate on this.

One more error I've just found and fixed. Some variables were named as bom_val_*, whereas they must be named as enc_val_*. Quite silly mistake.

why is there 2 "/f" s in the for Loop

Misprint. But it works. However need to be fixed.

updated
Thank you for thorough code review. I fixed in repo and here.

Few days ago I decided to practice in insane programming and wrote the script. It's based on the idea I found in the answer on StackOverflow I guess given by our colleague npocmaka_ . I extended his idea and enabled encoding detection for files with and without BOM. Also the script doesn't fail on e...

Few days ago I accepted the PR titled as "Specify "find" command": Users (like me) who have UNIX tools in their PATH variable might call a different find.exe which will break this script. Therefore prepending "%SYSTEMROOT%\System32" makes the call to find.exe unambiguous. This action inspired me for...
