Steffen: your example is displayed like this.



(I added CHCP command to show current CP)

Thank you Steffen for such a great explanation on Code Pages! Your idea for displaying these characters under different Code Pages is great. (but your example does not work for me). Currently (because my .cmd is in use only by me) I am using this: I have this in an ANSI .txt file: 218 196 194 196 19...

Thanks for the update.

@aGerman: A translation from EBCDIC to ASCII was my initial thought that I had to use in the past. I did not check if current WinAPI can do this. So if this is not supperted by API then we can call it a 'custom' translation table. As I said: this was just an idea - the question is if it is really ne...

...Then I'll leave it as it is unless somebody finds a bug or has a request to add another feature ... Maybe just an idea (probably not neeeded at the moment): Add a support for custom code page(s). convertcp.exe my_private_CP1 my_private_CP2 <file_in.txt >file_out.txt and there you have a translat...

Thank you, Steffen! New release almost daily. Great!

Again I must say Thank you! to aGerman for providing this program. As he mentioned I had very old MS-DOS 16-bit exe which does not work on x64. I received a source code from the author (written in Turbo Pascal). aGerman said that it is easier to write a program from scratch then to try and relink it...

The standard answer whenever trying to work with "problem" characters - Use delayed expansion. Works in all situations except when expanding FOR loop variable that may contain ! setlocal enableDelayedExpansion >temporary.cmmnt echo(!cmmnt! endlocal Dave Benham Thank you. Problem solved. S...

What can I do?

I see that commands:

are causing me problems if cmmnt contains ( or ).

I will see if this viewtopic.php?f=3&t=4213 helps me.

Let's have two .cmd procedures: a.cmd: @echo off echo A exit And b.cmd: @echo off echo B Now execute a.cmd and then b.cmd: c:\a.cmd&b.cmd Result: CMD window closes.

Until someone provides a solution this is what you can do:

1. copy all files to USB stick
2. on USB stick: delete files you don't need

Sad day, really. He really helped us all.

Statistics don't lie:



This shows how great he was. I am sure he will be missed.

RIP
Saso

P.S. Anyone knows how old was he?
