Re: The ULTIMATE Command Line Utility

Also, I keep reading the name as interfascist, so maybe change the name?

Re: The ULTIMATE Command Line Utility

Why would you want this? Just interact with the script via the keyboard like normal. No reason to bring the mouse into this.

If you want a GUI, don't use a scripting language.

Re: Batch To Delete Shortcut on Desktop

If it's a shortcut, it almost certainly has the .lnk extension (that's a lowercase L, not a capital i) and you have extensions turned off so you can't see it.

Re: Another way to keep terminal window open

Simply run the script from the command prompt instead of double-clicking it and the window will stay open after the script ends.

You're new, so I'll oversimplify - never ever double click scripts!

Re: need to add header and add a formula

You're going to want VBA for this. Batch can't help with Excel.

Re: need to add header and add a formula

How do you know which "formula" goes with which column? It feels completely arbitrary.

Re: I can't see the var from an echo

You may have to map the remote server to a network drive first.

Code: Select all

net use Z: \\192.168.168.7\

if not exist "%FileName%" (
	set "file=!file!!lf!   ?    %FileName%"
	xcopy /y /f "Z:\Dnload\VNC\%FileName%" "%wkdir%"
	IF NOT ERRORLEVEL 1 GOTO FileCopied
)

Re: net use map SharePoint drive not working

All of the solutions I'm finding on google have you adjust timeout settings in the registry. Since I highly doubt that you have write access to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\NetBT\Parameters\LmhostsTimeout key, try using the IP address instead of the URL.

Re: i need a batch to find the 1st level of dir name and the 2nd

%PATH% is already a system variable, so you should call it something else. After that, you can simply delimit the string on \ and grab the second and third tokens. @echo off set "full_path=M:\11 11\22 22\33 33\44 44\A B C D.txt" for /f "tokens=2,3 delims=\" %%A in ("%full_path%") do ( set "top_leve...

Re: Batch File To Highlight All Files In Folder with Specific File Name

Both src and dst are the full paths to the folders, so the script can be anywhere you want. %variable% is how you reference variables in batch, so you have to use %src% and %dst% instead of src and dst. %userprofile% is a system variable that already exists, so you don't need to worry about that. If...

Re: Kill process with batch

How do you know you're passing the correct executable name to taskkill? Does it appear in tasklist?

Re: Using ASCII fonts and block elements for text messages - problem with encoding of BAT file

A) You're correct to save the file as UTF-8, but the default code page used by the command prompt is 437, which is a non-UTF DOS OEM character set. In order to use Unicode, you need to add the line chcp 65001 >nul . B) In general, for loops play nicest with ANSI encoding, but if you aren't processin...

Re: Unable to taskill some cmd.exe instances

Take a look at the output of taskkill /?

Code: Select all

TASKKILL [/S system [/U username [/P [password]]]]
         { [/FI filter] [/PID processid | /IM imagename] } [/T] [/F]
/IM must be immediately followed by the imagename, and /T is separate from it
