You could use something like this: @echo off set text1=Some text&rem set text2=Some more text&rem set text3=Additional text&rem set field1=%text1% &rem 20 spaces set field2=%text2% &rem 25 spaces set field3=%text3% &rem 30 spaces set field1=%field1:~0,20% set field2=%field2:~0,25% set field3=%field3...

Congratulations Antonio! I must admit that I don't understand what are you talking (writing) about but it was an interesting to read it. I am always amazed with the solutions you have (I remember that clever solution for that very loooong XML schema https://www.dostips.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=...

Some changes to Lucky's solution: @echo off reg export "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Console" "%userprofile%\Documents\CMD _ PowerShell Settings.reg" reg export "HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-3797103458-798797042-3558267449-1001\Console" "%userprofile%\Documents\1.reg" type "%userprofile%\Documents\1.reg" | find /v "Win...

Here we see that both scripts are there. Go to command prompt and type: E:\Dropbox\AHK\AutoHotKey.ahk (and press RETURN) What happens? Does it return to the prompt immediately (while the script is still running)? E:\Dropbox\AHK\TextExpansion.ahk (and press RETURN) Is everything as expected? Create n...

I suspect that your second .ahk file is not there (I guess you don't check for the existence of both .ahk files). Please execute this and provide the output: test.cmd: @echo off for %%f in (C D E F) do echo ---&dir %%f:\Dropbox\AHK\Autohotkey.ahk&dir %%f:\Dropbox\AHK\TextExpansion.ahk pause You coul...

I agree with aGerman: user enters the data and all you have to do is use FIND or FINDSTR and check for ERRORLEVEL (or && / ||).

Again: see my previous posts: Errors you have are caused because path you have does not exist on every device you have. So you have to use the first version which checks the existence of the files. It is possible that .ahk runs and does not wait until it finishes? (I don't know how .ahk works) This ...

It will go thru all the letters in the FOR command and PAUSE after *each* letter.

You could try this (based on the info I have): Create run_xlsB.cmd (or name it as you wish) in the same folder where your .xlsb files are: @for /f "usebackq" %%f in (`dir /on /b *.xlsb`) do %%f or @for /f "usebackq" %%f in (`dir /on /b *.xlsb`) do start "" %%f See HELP CMD for other options if requi...

Add PAUSE at the end (looks like you double-click on the .cmd/.bat): @for %%f in (C D E F) do echo ---&dir %%f:\Dropbox\AHK\Autohotkey.ahk&dir %%f:\Dropbox\AHK\TextExpansion.ahk&pause If you execute (start) your .ahk file from within the command prompt: does it return to the prompt before it actuall...
