Re: Short WAV files-is there no standard player to call from batch?

It also depends on the compression algorithm used to reduce the resulting filesize (although most decompressions only need the computational power of a 386er...). Hey, not too rough ! It takes a 386sx 4MBram 33Mhz (1982 ) little processing power to play a wav, unless you had a sound-card that did n...

Re: Short WAV files-is there no standard player to call from batch?

My interest in this was to find a solution to quickly and rapidly play mechanical or electronic typing sounds from a small wav file or files, each file having only one typewriter keystroke or carriage return sound. htaplayer would not be a good fit for this, and the best I could come up with is the...

Re: Why does SET performance degrade as environment size grows?

This is great info :D @Aacini, I used your analysis results to optimize my code. I have a few hundreds of variables stored on disk that all follow the same analogy; set variable=data. where variable is fileName and data can be anything from 0 to 8k of data. I used sort.EXE to get an alphabetical fil...

Re: Macros with parameters appended

Sure. The old \n was defined as ^^^<LF><LF>^<LF><LF>^^ After parsing the definition, the actual stored value is ^<LF><LF>^ When included at the end of a macro definition line, the ^<LF><LF> inserts a single <LF> into the macro definition, and the trailing ^ escapes the (<CR>)<LF> at the end of the ...

Re: save playlist as unicode or ?

Changing it to code page 65001 (UTF-8) is even better when dealing with file names, because it handles all Unicode characters, not just the 256 in your system code page. But changing it to CP 65001 is more tricky when reading or writing files contents, as (contrary to Linux) very few files contain ...

Re: save playlist as unicode or ?

Try to change the codepage to your default ANSI codepage (probably 1252) at the beginning of the script. As long as the characters are representable in ANSI it should work. Steffen The output written to the file is correct. Thanks. :D Why is explorer using a different codepage ? Now i see the wrong...
