Thank you all for your answers.

I like Aacini's version a lot - it is very quick.

I prefer not to use 3rd party programs if possible.

Again, thank you all.

Hi all! How can I display (or set an array of variables (for example x[cnt])) of first/last n lines from a .txt file? http://www.dostips.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=3633 has a solution for reading all lines to variable. One way would be to: 1. count the number of lines 2. sort in reverse (if d...

Dumping the source file first would make it possible to process all values (0-255) (agerman's excelent file dump: viewtopic.php?p=14361#p14361).

The reason FINDSTR is not working is because FINDSTR fails to work with many extened ASCII characters (hex code > 127) if they are used on the command line. If an extended ASCII character such as the " ü " (dependent on your code page) is used on the command line in a search string, then ...

We also have characters that are not in the English alphabet. All you have to do is: - convert the original file from the CP you have in Windows (I have CP1250) to your DOS CP (I have CP852) - then you should be able to enter the letter Brunsbüttel in the DOS window (because it is in your DOS codepa...

Here is a working menu system. Originaly I wrote it in 2000 in DCL on OpenVMS but only now I managed to port it to batch. It displays a word 'menu' infront of the selection if there is a sub menu behind that choice. Currently procedure requires Aacini's cursorpos.exe. @echo off REM -----------------...

Here is an update. I added small letters a-z to the list of available characters. Now the maximum base is 62. Because dos does not distinguish between capital and small letters in variable names: set mapA=10 and set mapa=40 mapping small letters to array does not work. Instead I used a temporary fil...

Based on this Aacini's work http://www.dostips.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=5665 here is the converter for converting between decimal numbers and base-N (and vice versa). It even calculates the length (number of characters) of the result. Base-N can be between 2 and 36 (inclusive). Saso @echo o...

Aacini: I tried to understand everything but it looks like I am too blond (though I am not). Please explain the following commands: Why does the command below display each part of the 'map' variable as a separate line (record)? set "map=0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ" for /F "de...

Aacini: thanks alot. Works perfectly.

Hi all! Based on this http://www.dostips.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=34025#p34025 I decided to change the record offset number and record length number with some encoded information (to minimize a chance of finding the number user enters in the 'record offset' field because I also modifed the searchin...
