How about you start counting at zero instead.

Code: Select all

set /a "numApps=0"

Otherwise you already have one app before the code even executes.

Perfect. Thanks.

I'm attempting what should be a relatively simple task. I'm generating a list of installed 64-bit applications and counting the number in one for /f loop. However, the generated file has an extra carriage return and the count indicates 44 lines instead of the actual number of apps (43). Here is the ...

Change the tokens to tokens=1,*

Perfect. Thank you.

Hello Antonio (Aacini). Thanks again for this array technique. It works great and I have been adapting it to other commands, such as WMIC. However, I have run into a snag that I haven't been able to sort out. What if the delimiter you are using is also in the value? I will provide a small example: @...

I believe it's intented to always have Administrator in the title if you run it elevated. So, you're suspicion is that the sequence provided here is not supposed to remove the word "Administrator" from an elevated batch script? https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/console/console-virtual-termin...

I've noticed a discrepancy between the behavior of certain terminal escape sequences when another instance of cmd.exe or powershell is invoked. I'll provide a couple brief examples. 1. Let's say you want to stop the cursor from blinking: @echo off setlocal enabledelayedexpansion for /f %%e in ('echo...

Hi atfon,
escape sequences can be outputted with the `set /p` technique.

Code: Select all

"%comspec%" /d /k <nul & <nul set /p ".=%ESC%]0;Main Menu%BEL%"

Thanks Jeb! I tried a bit with set /p, but didn't think to use the ".= for this. Worked like a charm.

I love the "%comspec%" /d /k <nul solution here. However, I have a situation using this technique that I haven't been able to solve. Let's say I have a very simple menu like this: @echo off setlocal enabledelayedexpansion for /f %%g in ('%__APPDIR__%forfiles.exe /p "%~dp0." /m "%~nx0" /c "cmd /c ech...

I tried to use an alternate screen buffer, resize it, and later turn back to the original buffer. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/console/console-virtual-terminal-sequences#alternate-screen-buffer However, updating the size of the alternate buffer doesn't seem to be supported. Steffen Than...

Edit: Please disregard.I had previously turned off the cursor with a terminal escape sequence. The powershell command works fine. I have a script which changes the console screen height and width periodically with the mode con command. I'd like to reset it back to the defaults on exit /b. I can use...

I defined elements of netsh array instead of individual variables in order to group them, but you may define the variables as you wish... You may find several one-word variables this way: findstr /BI "IfLuid IFIndex State" You need to use the /C:"one two" form only when you want a two-or-more words...

Watch the darn code execute.

I literally addressed that in my first comment and code I provided in my first post. Thank you for your assistance, @Squashman. I apologize for being slow about this, but I guess I'm missing something here. In my example, I thought I was asking for token 2 when I used tokens=2? I'm not sure I under...

Use the TOKENS to your advantage. You are specifically not asking for TOKEN 1. If you asked for both TOKENS, then all you would need to do for your set command is: set "%%g=%%h" The FINDSTR command can be modified for multiple search parameters a couple of different way. findstr /C:"IfLuid" /C:"IFI...
