Yeah you got it right. First loop example: Call Set "FileList=%%FileList%% "%%A"" expands to Set "FileList=%FileList% "a_file.txt"" expands to Set "FileList= "a_file.txt"" Second loop: Call Set "FileList=%%FileList%% "%%A"&qu...

It shouldn't display using @echo off, but set /a counter+=1 >nul would do.

The batch either did its job and terminated, or there are bugs in it that made it exit early. You'll have to post the batch file contents here.

You mean, a "while" loop.


But if you mean literally...

There are these older threads as well.

I speak for myself, but it's hard to say. There are websites out there already, like ones owned by Microsoft, that use better languages like Powershell. The problem with batch is it has limited unicode support, and it can be localization-dependent (which can usually be worked around using calls to V...

If there are any lines such as comments, they can be dealt with, but following your example: @echo off&setlocal enabledelayedexpansion :: Use only one of the following: :: To grab the first value of the last line in variable_list.csv... for /f "usebackq delims=," %%a in ("variable...

So, are you guys anywhere near developing a solid modular macro library? I've been avoiding this insanity like the plague, but I'm interested in the results lol.

By modular I mean, being able to pick and choose which functions to add to a script, rather than loading an entire library.

find /c "Running"

That is, remove the part in red.

Here's a brief example of an echo system I developed. It's actually a simple concept. @echo off&setlocal enabledelayedexpansion call :echo "Hello" call :echo "World" call :echo "I" call :echo "Like" call :echo "Bananas" pause set /a #echolen-=1 c...

Oh, what you mean is you only want it to run decrypt once, after your task is found running, and then NOT running, but then to continue it's regular check. :query schtasks /query /s myserver /fo list /tn "my_task_name" | find /c "Running"&&( (code to run if successful) se...

The only problem could be that it's working in the wrong directory. So that means it's being passed along by command prompt to your program. Either reset it explicitly within your program, or change the current directory of Command Prompt first. You can accomplish this while keeping your paths relat...

I'm not sure what you mean. If the task isn't running, it'll goto decrypt. If you want it to keep looping after the decrypt loop, put another goto query after the decrypt code.

:query schtasks /query /s myserver /fo list /tn "my_task_name" | find /c "Running"&&( code to run if successful )||( code to run if failed ) ping -n 2 0 >nul goto query Where ping -n 2 is the number of seconds to delay + 1. That is, 2 is a 1-second delay, 3 is a 2-second...

Nice, thanks! This is perfect! I experimented with it a bit, so to help you out Bashis, here's a quick guide for what you want to do: 1. Download 7-zip if you don't already have it (required). http://www.7-zip.org 2. Download KuShellExtension here. 3. Right click KuShellExtension-0.04.7z and select ...
