Hey Antonio, May I make a request for a auxiliary exe program. Can you make a program which will immediately print(or set as errorlevel) the current location of the mouse cursor inside the console window(like in cursorpos.exe which prints the location of console cursor). I have found some tools like...

Maybe convert them to exe using Advanced bat to exe converter.

I thought there might be a way to skip the creation of the filelist.txt and do it all in one like for /f %%a in dir.... ***That is why the title is "For ... including DIR In this case you are talking about the first request. Yeah the code can be achived by directly redirecting the output of di...

I mean you use c:/a/b/c/filelist.txt instead of c:\a\b\c\filelist.txt Sorry, I should have posted it from my pc(android is tricky for typing codes) though yeah my fault. Fixed one here:- for /f "delims=" %%a in ("c:\a\b\c\filelist.txt") do ( cd "c:\d\e\f" if exist &quo...

You mean using backslash as delimiter?

For the second one use this(untested) for /f %%a in ("c:/a/b/c/filelist.txt") do ( cd "c:/d/e/f" if exists %%a copy %%a "c:/g/h/i" ) Sounak You might want to account for spaces in file names. Thanks Squashman, new code(untested):- for /f "delims=" %%a in (&qu...

Maybe without hacking the software itself it's tough to achive. Though if you are using it for yourself or someone who is little literate in computer you can do this- 1) write the batch file you want to run when clicked in the software and save it in the software directory. 2) Write another batch fi...

To get the value of an element when the index changes inside FOR/IF, enclose the element in double percent symbols and precede the command with CALL. For example, to move a range of array elements four places to the left: for /L %%i in (%start%,1,%end%) do ( set /A j=%%i + 4 call set "elem[%%i...

Thanks Steffen for this cool one.

Thanks.

Oops, sorry mistakenly I forgot one line. Sorry ,updated the question.

Okay, here comes another problem (or question) from me. Here I want to expand a variable inside a variable name and then expand the second variable too. If it was not a for loop I would have used:- setlocal enabledelayedexpansion Set foo=1 Set bar1=main Echo !bar%foo%! This code would echo the conte...

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 specifi...

Another little speedup trick is to clear out all or almost all unused environment variables. I found that all my scripts got a 5-10% speedup by doing this. I found this trick in a script by einstein1969. Just remember to call setlocal first, otherwise the variables are deleted from your actual cmd ...
