just a side note, any time a redirection is used within a block, the system opens and closes the file (or stream). for %%I in .... ( >>"somefile.txt" echo %%I ) but >>"somefile.txt" ( for %%I in .... ( echo %%I ) ) Opens the file/stream, processes all commands in the block, and then close the file/s...

Whenever you must evaluate two variables to boolean logic between them @echo off setlocal set /p var1="Val1, enter true or false: " set /p var2="Val2, enter true or false: " rem test AND if "%var1%"=="true" if "%var2%"=="true" ( echo/&e...

Antonio, did you ever tried ansicon? http://ansicon.adoxa.vze.com/

Ok I noticed the problem with both of you codes, they don't allow for a empty/null column entry. Is there any way to fix this? Then, you need a workaround, @echo off SetLocal EnableExtensions EnableDelayedExpansion rem get sure here is the tab character (my text editor is set to change tabs into sp...

Does this help? Positioning CMD Window

My fault, I didn't read carefully. I've seen a delimiter and assumed they were all the same. Then, this should do the job, as the only valid delimiter is tab.

I have a very large tab-delimited text file with 4 columns and many rows. I want a batch file to replace the third tab on each row with a colon. Here is an example of input and desired output: input(always 4 columns): username[tab]firstname[space]lastname[tab]email[tab]number username[tab]firstname...

Very impressive. I had to explore. I took your DOS powershell command out of context to try to understand this magic. your FOR construct seems to run %psCmd% in a way that hides the output. That consists of error messages about not being able to update the system variable $host. Yet the routine wor...

Don't know nothing about Win 10, but here (Win8) under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Console key, you may find ScreenBufferSize 0x012c0050 WindowSize 0x00190050 Both are DWORD values, where hiword is lines and loword is columns. So ScreenBufferSize.Lines is 0x012c (decimal 300) and ScreenBufferSize.Columns is 0...

This should be enhanced (is slow) but does the work. @echo off SetLocal EnableExtensions EnableDelayedExpansion set "input=input.txt" set "output=output.txt" rem needed to show progress set/a cnt=0 for /F "tokens=1,2 delims=#" %%a in ('"prompt #$H#$E & echo on ...

echo !line:~6,16! can be call echo %%line:~6:16%% note double percent sign to force call evaluate the term inside. but performance will be worst than using delayed expansion (think about a large file to process) also, if performance is in your mind for ... do ( echo whatever>>somefile.txt ) will op...
