Re: Detecting Process ID of the current cmd.exe
Squashman , your suggestion is good enough for cases when you don't need piping one script to another one. Look here The %RANDOM% variable as the part of the filename can lead to conflicts in pipes. and try this one in pipe :: script | script @echo:%time% %random%>&2 The result of this pipe can...

Detecting Process ID of the current cmd.exe
cmd.exe doesn't provide its own Proccess ID (or PID). What could PID be useful for? It is unique number in the current moment. -- With PID it is easy to refer to own process. The TASKLIST utility is not robust - just launch two instances of cmd.exe and you can't say which one is your own. -- It can ...

Re: Help with program that emulate VT100 terminal
One more instance of the ANSI emulator. It supports some of (but not all) ANSI sequences very close to those terminals. + No tricks with batch script attempting to colorize output + No executable binaries - PowerShell required (can be absent on some hosts) - No executable binaries (script works slow...

Re: js/vbs/html/hta hybrids and chimeras in cmd/bat
The post viewtopic.php?p=37780#p37780 was updated.
Now the script is able to produce working wrapper for powershell script. Now the hybrid is able to read stdin on the same way as the original powershell script.

Re: Detect redirection and EOF in Standard Handles
Seems there is no internal way to detect if a handler is redirected to a file or another pipe. With this idea as base, I wrote a very small and simple .COM program that allows to detect if a standard handle has been redirected to a disk file Aacini , what if you share the original assembler code of ...

Re: Powershell2/bat hybrid?
Yep. Seems there are no better ways to hybridize cmd and powershell (or embed powershell into a batch file). Anyway this solution keeps ability for piping and allows using of command lines arguments through $args (I guess this is standard variable in powershell).

Re: js/vbs/html/hta hybrids and chimeras in cmd/bat
bars143 You are right. The script produces non-working script when the original vbs-file has "Option Explicit". I found it, as well, when I asked myself "what if I code using this directive?" I have modified the "cmdize" script but the solution is so ugly and so funny....

Re: js/vbs/html/hta hybrids and chimeras in cmd/bat
I decided come back to this thread attempting to cover most of issues in one solution =) I spent few minutes thinking how to name the script. There were three possible candidates: -- any2bat or every2bat (similar to pl2bat or js2bat, but "any" or "every" don't cover everything) -...

Re: robust line counter
Sponge Belly
Agree with you. "more" has much more problems with huge lines. I remember once I have had inadequate behavior with lines over 64K characters.

Re: doskey /history doesn't work properly after doskey reins
Aacini, thank you. Probably this is the most robust solution to clear history and keep the functionality:
where the default value 50 can be replaced by another value as requested.
Code: Select all
doskey /listsize=0
doskey /listsize=50
where the default value 50 can be replaced by another value as requested.

doskey /history doesn't work properly after doskey reinstall
I am not sure if this is specific for my computer. Can some one test it and confirm? The test is very simple. 1. open command prompt 2. execute few commands 3. check the command history by the command doskey /history 4. clear the history list doskey /reinstall 5. repeat the item 2 (arbitrary command...
