Hey guys, I'm cleaning up a couple of older batch scripts and wondered if I might be able to use jRepl or FindRepl to take some bulk out of them. Here are a couple of examples: 1. One routine parses the output from "ipconfig /all" to get the "DNS Servers". I guess there can be 1 ...

If I understand what you are looking for, users here have already developed several methods for doing this. If you read through this thread you'll see some of them: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=6983

Ok. Who are you supporting to cater for XP? I assumed it was for your own needs. There are 15 year old kids walking around who are older than XP. What, you aren't using XP??? Anyway, it is for my own use and this particular system is a no-frills box, thus no .net. The newer microsoft OS's are too i...

A module exists here, including for XP, using powershell to ease file permissions and security.

Thanks for the link but unfortunately, the XP environment doesn't have .net installed so I don't think powershell is an option.

As you noted, it appears to signify standard output redirection. Some programs mentioned here may help to further check that output. Thanks for the link- interesting reading. So I guess numbers " 4-9 " could be used? And are the contents of this file: "..\logs\name_%date:/=-%%time::=...

Try this code to get name and path of the shares. Thank you. If you have any spare code laying around that enumerates the permissions for each share in XP I'll also use it next time I work on this code. the "net share [sharename]" command lists permissions in Win7 but not XP, so I am forc...

Does anyone have some pre-built code they'd be willing to share that lists SHARES with associated permissions to those shares? I currently create a temporary .vbs script using this code to get share names (then delete the .vbs file): strComputer = "." Set objWMIService = GetObject("wi...

I have a quick question on jeb's code: @echo off set "lockFileName=%~1_lock.tmp" 2>nul ( 4> "%lockFileName%" ( echo starting instance ping -n 2 localhost > nul ) || echo Failed %1 ) echo End %1 What does the " 4> "%lockFileName%" ( " line do? Or more specifica...

Thanks for the responses from all. And thank you Dave for the detailed reply and informative links - I believe you pinpointed my issue. 1) Abandon XP and use a more modern version of Windows - Probably not what you want to hear I laughed when I read that - because my script handles user/share/group ...

As the title says - XP error - but win7 none. Notice the lines in this output example like "The system cannot find the file 쭀ŷ♣☼ŔЈ ": C:\>FOR /F "tokens=*" %A IN (" ?/cmd: "shUser=user1"; "shPrivs=none"") DO SET tmpLn=%A C:\>SET tmpLn=?/cmd: "sh...

Actually, I may have resolved it - it's been a while since I've used regex but I remembered a few things. - I changed the line from this: call findrepl /o:13:13 < "%file%"|jrepl ".*" "SET \qmyVar2=$1\q" /x /i to: call findrepl /o:13:13 <"%file%" |jrepl "\...

Thank you - it mostly works after testing on one file but one line fails: call findrepl /o:13:13 < "%file%"|jrepl ".*" "SET \qmyVar2=$1\q" /x /i produces: SET "myVar2=$1"SET "myVar2=$1" Line 13 is: "second.string here!" - no "SET"...

Hey guys, here's my next issue. I need transform some files or create new files using data from existing files. In searching for a solution, I read through the findrepl thread and am on page 9 of this jrepl thread and my mind is a bit burnt out at the moment... I have not even attempted to code anyt...

just adding another example of syntax that would be nice to use:

I am afraid I don't understand what you mean with that. ColorShow.exe show caracters in given colors independently of any other current setting (like the color set by COLOR command). TextColor.exe set the color that will be used by posterior commands, including the standard Windows/DOS cmd.exe comm...
