1. How to limit what echo is to process, without splitting the line? example Prompt:>if 2 GTR 1 echo bigger else echo lesser result: bigger else echo lesser 2. How to echo "ON" instead of turning echo on? Your problem is not with echo, it's with your failure to use correct If else syntax: if ( comm...

Re: Live coundown timer
Information like this is useful to provide when asking a question.
An alternative to timeout for you to try:
Code: Select all
start "" /w /b /min mshta "javascript:setTimeout(function(){close();},1000);"

Re: Live coundown timer
yes, this is easily possible, however, more information regarding the use case would be helpful. IE: does it matter if the timer is script blocking, or do you want to just show a timer while the script is executing something else? An example of a no frills timer that blocks script execution: @ECHO o...

I wonder "Where the trivial PS code is?" :shock: IMHO in this type of answers the poster should warn: "This PS solution is more difficult and convoluted than a Batch file, but here it is anyway"... :?

If using powershell commands via batch is an option, this becomes very trivial thanks to regex. :# https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.core/about/about_regular_expressions?view=powershell-7.1 @Echo off & CD /d "%~dp0" Set "File=%~dp0input.txt" %= Replace with actu...

Re: Can we capture the response of a terminal?
There are control sequences that you can send to a virtual terminal emulator to request certain information. The response is written to the stdin which seems to make it quite difficult to read it in a Batch code. The example below is a small code which demonstrates what I'm talking about all along....

Hi! I love this, and I'd love to use it. Trying to tinker with it, but I don't know Powershell! Can you help me? Typically I run my scripts in raster fonts 8x8. It's nice to have a nice square character to draw shapes and run animation. Using %setfont%, I haven't been able to achieve it. I can get ...

Re: How to return ascii value in 'bg _Kbd'
using timeout after bg.exe is resulting in the errorlevel returning to 0. Store or assess the returned errorlevel before enacting other commands.
