Definitely have 3 processes. Was going to post the output of TASKLIST to show you that the Window Title was blank for the other processes but figured that was understood. The only real way to identify which process is for which Window is to use the Window Title option.

This is really irritating with with the way TASKLIST outputs the Window Title for Internet Explorer 8 on Windows 7 and this goes hand in hand with TASKKILL. I have 3 instances of Internet Explorer Open (not tabs), each on a different website. When I run the TASKLIST command, the Window Title is only...

Not understanding why you think you need another loop?

I finally understood what you meant by "OverWrite". It wasn't making any sense to me until you mentioned the /F switch with the delete option. I can see how you would think you are overwriting a task but you really are not. You are deleting an existing task and creating a whole new one. Yo...

Just a notice for the original poster, TIMEOUT and CHOICE are not native to Windows XP. You may have issues running the script Cat posted. Those commands are available on Vista and Windows 7.

Findstr is case sensitive. Shutdown.exe is not the same as shutdown.exe You need to add the /I switch to the findstr command. While you could change the existing task with the /CHANGE option I don't think this would be as good of an approach as deleting what is there and then adding what you want. T...

It would help to post the code you are using if you changed the original code I gave you.

The FINDSTR search is case sensitive by default. Since you probably don't want to see the FINDSTR output, you might want to redirect the output to nul: echo %str%|findstr /c:"-verbose" >nul Dave Benham That is one of things I like about this forum. The attention to detail everyone has wit...

Love Dave's code with the String replacement. But yes in theory you could use Findstr and look at the errorlevel. E:\batch files>set "str=-debug -verbose -normi -homedir -repo" E:\batch files>echo %str% | findstr /c:"-verbose" -debug -verbose -normi -homedir -repo E:\batch files>...

Thanks Ed. That worked. Didn't realize I needed to assign that variable to another variable before the ENDLOCAL. Delayed Expansion was enabled higher up in the script.

Does your MONEY variable have a currency symbol in it or not? If it does you need to remove it from the variable in order to compare the two values. I am no math major but I am pretty sure 50 is not the same as 500. IF %Money% LSS 50 Echo You dont have enough money to buy this item. And IF this stat...

I was thinking about making this post a separate thread but since it is going to be integrated into this one script I am just going to post it here. As I said in my last post I am going to use Judago's Divide.bat to calculate the number of lines because we may run into file sizes that are larger tha...

I believe this would work.

Use the Query option and pipe it to the findstr command.

schtasks /query /V /FO CSV | findstr "shutdown.exe"

Can probably put that into a for loop to get the correct token as well.

What do you mean you won't know. You just echoed the output to whatever directory is assigned to the temp variable because you did the pushd first so use the temp variable with the set statement. Set /p nick=<%temp%\nick.db Word of advice to you. Make sure you close up the spaces when you are using ...
