Re: Batch file deletion

Ad hoc i can't see a statement or command that XP would not support, or use differently than the newer versions. The only potential risks of incompatability i see are: - The usage of the localization dependend variables "date" and "time" (so it could happen on all windows versions). - External execu...

Re: 256 colors in virtual terminal escape sequence

But wouldn't it have been better to average the three colors i.e. (R + G + B) /3 ? The idea behind RGB is, that components agree on the color produced. It doesn't match how humans experience color, though the result is somewhat acceptable. Would "L" be the brightness/lightness? English is not my mo...

Re: 256 colors in virtual terminal escape sequence

Can you explain what you did here? :: set /a "%4.MIN3=-((%22-%11)>>32)*(-((%33-%22)>>32)*%3 - ((%22-%33)>>32)*%2) - ((%11-%22)>>32)*(-((%33-%11)>>32)*%3 - ((%11-%33)>>32)*%1)" :: set /a "%4.MAX3=-((%22-%11)>>32)*(-((%33-%11)>>32)*%1 - ((%11-%33)>>32)*%3) - ((%11-%22)>>32)*(-((%33-%22)>>32)*%2 - ((%...

Re: 256 colors in virtual terminal escape sequence

As said above, i assumed linear distances of the colors in RGB-space: The main advantage is, it is easy to compute, because color distances are just euclidean distances over the coordinates of the RGB colors. The main issue is, that human perception of color is everything but linear. Typically that ...

Re: 256 colors in virtual terminal escape sequence

I've replaced the grayscale algorithm, the (unoptimized - but hopefully bug-free) result is the following mapping function: :toColorTable R G B return var :: part 1 (sloppy is sufficient) set /a "%4.r1= -(-(%1>>6)>>2), %4.g1= -(-(%2>>6)>>2), %4.b1= -(-(%3>>6)>>2), %4.isDarkGray=%4.r1*%4.g1*%4.b1" se...

Re: 256 colors in virtual terminal escape sequence

Ok, i somehow missed the fact, that the difference between 0 and 95 isn't 40... :oops: . Your solution already finds the best color match; however this is my try: :: color function style set /A "%4=(((%1)-35)/40+((%1-48)>>8)-((%1-74)>>8))*36 + (((%2)-35)/40+((%2-48)>>8)-((%2-74)>>8))*6 + (((%3)-35)/...

Re: 256 colors in virtual terminal escape sequence

I'm not sure what you mean, the above computations should return an index (i) for the indexed color (r_i, g_i, b_i) with the minimal error to the given color value (r, g, b) - at least for any system, that uses the above colour table predefined by Microsoft: - The formular for (2) should return the ...

Re: 256 colors in virtual terminal escape sequence

The color map (at least on my pc) is piecewise linear. 1) Indices 0x00 - 0x0F contain the most non-linear part: ( 0, 0, 0), (128, 0, 0), ( 0, 128, 0), (128, 128, 0), ( 0, 0, 128), (128, 0, 128), ( 0, 128, 128), (192, 192, 192), (128, 128, 128), (255, 0, 0), ( 0, 255, 0), (255, 255, 0), ( 0, 0, 255),...

Re: Batch multiple UP calls from Main Batch not works!?

I assume the error is caused by using the wrong environment variable named "Aufruf:" instead of "Aufruf", like you did in "Linie2.bat":

Code: Select all

:: Linie2.bat
set /p Aufruf="Aufruf:"
:: versus
set /p Aufruf:="Aufruf:"

Re: Parallax background, and overlapping images properly

If i remember correct, then you can find those in the Templates for Parallax zip-file IcarusLives linked somewhere above, but under a diffferent name:
- "template1.ppm" is "cloud1.ppm"
- "template2.ppm" is "mountain1.ppm"
- "template3.ppm"should contain another mountain version.

Re: How to check if a wired connection is present in a batch file?

The following might help you:

Code: Select all

powershell -NoProfile -Command get-NetIPConfiguration
Though i would add debug messages (using echo) and pauses, to see the program flow.
In case you don't have a visible console on login, you might redirect the echoes and avoid the pause commands instead.

Re: Delect Registry Key

I actually can't test it, but it might be the space characters, that break the value early, so you might encapsulate the value "c:\Program Files\Common Files\Corel\" in doublequotes.

Re: Exporting two keys from Registry residing in two different places on Windows 10

What you see there is a character encoding issue. Somehow the resulting file was created with the byte order mark (bom) of 'UTF-16 LE' (which could happen for various reasons). Then the reg file was appended. Save the text into a file using encoding 'UTF-16 LE'. Then open it within a hex-editor. Del...

Re: Copy tags and its child elemnts from specific XML schema

Though i like Aacini's version, it is not completely safe (for example if you change the codepage of the source-xml).
Here is an example for how to read and process xml using jscript (in the hybrid "xslt.bat") in a safe way:
