Accordingly to your last test, this should work:
Note that you changed the "backtit" ("`" character) by apostrophe...

If this not works, remove the usebackq option from FOR /F switch.

Mmm... Is that because you have not searched for the appropriate terms perhaps?

If you want to open an application (not a file) and after that enter/input/send a key (not open the control-f), then perhaps this answer could help you...

Ok. Let's revisit what I understand from your question: - You have a .txt file. I don't matters where and how you have such a file (if it was downloaded from the web or if it is in a hidden folder, etc.) because such details have not any influence on the solution. - The example data file is this: 12...

When a CLS command is redirected to a disk file, it output an ASCII 12 character, Ctrl-L called Form Feed that in most printers cause to eject current page and jump to a new page. This is a rather logical "conversion" of screen CLS command to a (paper) text file. This conversion is well-known, but I...

Note: 30417637376 Bytes = 28.3286 Gigabytes Let's say I want to convert 30417637376 of bytes to gigabytes. set /A "gb=30417637376/1024" The usual issue is that Command Prompt will refuse to do the division with such large number. C:\Users\Windows10>set /A "gb=30433865728/1024" Invalid number. Numbe...

Hi, I've created a windows batch script to solve the issue below, however, it takes around 10 minutes for around 20k lines. This is too long. . . . . . Thanks in advance Too long indeed... Are you using a lot of goto commands? File append >> instead of file redirection > ? Give the following Batch ...

Perhaps this thread could help you...

If you can't explain with words what you want, then show it with data ... For example, put: "Giving this data file" and post an example file, "And this user input" and show us the user input, "I want this as output", accordingly... If the process is somewhat complex, show us several input and desire...

I copied the above code and adjusted it for your formula, that I think it is: result = 200 * 0.0349 + 0.49 . Here it is: @echo off setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion call :IntAsFP one=1.0000 call :IntAsFP number=200.0000 call :IntAsFP percent=0.0349 call :IntAsFP another=0.4900 set /A result=number*per...

. . . experimenting showed, that the lockfile removing statement wasnt called by the interpreter when written within single quotes behind the redirection operator. start cmd -c 'cd directory & nmake xyt -f makefile ^>log & del lock' it was necesary to call it after nmake finishes, so that the contr...

Mmmm... Ok, these are my thoughts At the very first place, your Batch file is not a Tail one! It always show all file lines . I think your Batch file would lost lines if the file is small and the forked process output lines very fast. Also, your Batch file lost any "duplicated line", that is, any li...

I invite you to review my Tetris game (the color version is here) and my VIBORAS.bat game (a multi-player version of Snake game).

Both programs makes an extensive use of "collision detection".

I hope it helps...

Your idea is interesting! Use FilePointer.exe to move the file pointer of cmd.exe in order to perform a fast goto! However, you missed a very important point from FilePointer.exe documentation: Get or set the file pointer position OF A REDIRECTED FILE HANDLE. FilePointer HANDLE [position [/C|/E]] Th...

I just read the posts from 2022/Oct/22 onwards. IMHO you have lost the point of this thread... Of course, there are several factors that influence the speed of a Batch file that have loops. However, I think that the purpose of this thread was to speed up a loop that was assembled via a goto command ...
