I think I have not seen this used in this topic. set "year=" for /f "tokens=1-6 delims=/: " %%a in ('robocopy "|" . /njh') do if not defined year ( set "year=%%a" & set "month=%%b" & set "day=%%c" set "hour=%%d" & set ...

Not the first time it bites. Do you think this is related? More than a rem overflow I think it is a parser buffer overflow. What I see it that the parser will remove the starting rem and the initial delimiter (the first space) so the ampersand falls in the position 8192, the buffer is splitted at th...

Just for completion, as it has not been posted, and under the assumption that there is no CALL in progress inside the batch file to be deleted @"%~f0">"%~f0" && del "%~f0" It is a similar idea to the dbenham's (GOTO) code, leave the current batch context to be a...

More tests, some process profiling and some debug later. Instead of trying to remove the efect of the cache, I've made repetitive queries to ensure "all"? of the file/folder structure is cached by the OS, suspended almost anything else and then executed the tests to see if there is a signi...

Or are you saying that file a.txt is buffered and that's why it is faster? Yes. Just after a restart, with idle machine, from a fresh cmd instance 19/06/2015 20:14 51.985.984 data.txt D:> gett for /f "delims=" %a in (data.txt) do @rem 0 days 00:00:11.344 Presione una tecla para continuar ...

I read in another post that this space is assigned in chuncks of a certain small size, and each time that the space is not enough the previous data is moved to a new larger space! You are right, 4KB blocks (at least in windows 7). Each time the buffer is full, a new 4KB bigger buffer is allocated, ...

Maybe your problem are the quotes. With them the gtr operator compares strings. Try with

This is the standard behaviour from the c runtime argument handling routines and logic used in most of the command line tools. ( https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/a1y7w461.aspx ) If you need to indicate the root folder, just use robocopy "c:\." "d:\."

Where the /i switch instructs start command to use the original environment of the current cmd instance.

Just to be precise, the Undocumented wildcards term is not completely accurate. The [MS-FSA] File Systems Algorithms contains:

Algorithm for Determining If a Character Is a Wildcard
Algorithm for Determining if a FileName Is in an Expression

dave, Would it be possible to use Jrepl to remove duplicate lines (case sensitive) and leaving the lines in original order stripping blank lines as well. More or less ... Code edited to simplify the process jrepl "" "" /N 10 /f "inputFile" ^ | sort /+11 ^ | jrepl "...

Just for an alternative for the same code, without temporary files (and no, not on a clean XP, sorry) robocopy can be used @echo off setlocal enableextensions disabledelayedexpansion call :getDateTime echo year :%year% echo month :%month% echo day :%day% echo weekday :%weekday% echo hour :%hour% ech...
