Re: How do I check the length of a filename in batch script?

You could store the filename into an environment variable and then check the length of that string using the :strlen-function.

Re: How to pause and resume a task?

Just a small sidenote to the net-approach:
The net command (at least under windows 10) does support the switches PAUSE and CONTINUE (to pause and resume a task).
You don't need to terminate and (re)start the process (using STOP and START).

Re: How to get rid of The file cannot be copied onto itself.

You should copy your files to a temporary folder (preferably on the same volume) and then move them to the final location.

Re: Dynamically change icon in context menu

I can't check myself (since i I have no Win11), So i can list only two potential issues i see ad hoc: Microsoft might have changed the GUID of the power plans. You could compare the GUID used in "ChangePowerPlan.reg" with the GUID listed by following command: powercfg.exe /L If there was a change, t...

Re: ahci.sys

I don't remember any driver named "AHCI.SYS", but i think i remember one named "AHCICD.SYS", so no guarantees for the following: If i remember right, then the "AHCICD.SYS" has an optional parameter "/C:<#AHCI-Controller>", where "<#AHCI-Controller>" is a digit from 0 to 9. If you leave out that para...

Re: Optimization of Mass Copy Via Batch

I am not familiar with NAS-devices, so the following idea might or might not be possible; typically when you want to send the same data to multiple recipients simultaneously, you would use broadcast (send to all nodes in the network) or multicast (send to multiple nodes in a network) in order to red...

Re: Open, Add Line, Save, Next File Help

I would expect such a result if your source files to not contain line endings at all or no line endings of the form "\r\n" (in hex "0D 0A"). On the other hand, that should have been preserved in your resulting files, which show the (windows) endline. Do you have opened and saved the resulting files ...

Re: How to define screen buffer size for "Mode 120,60" command?

I only added a debug output, so you can see whether or not the error message is misleading.
I didn't change the program logic.

Re: How to define screen buffer size for "Mode 120,60" command?

You should test, whether or not the error text really is misleading. Since the buffer is set first, it might be smaller than the actual window size at that point: powershell.exe -noprofile -command "&{Write-Host "initial WindowSize $(get-host).UI.RawUI.WindowSize"; $w=(get-host).ui.rawui;$w.buffersi...

Re: Batch file to merge two column strings from two files into one file

Just wanted to mention that you might get unwanted results, if your example is not representative. In SQL terms (which is the easiest to describe a possible issue): If you assume the line number to be the related column to join, then the the solution is a natural inner join. If that is, what you wan...

Re: Batch command

Batch is an interpreter language, which means that the interpreter is always loaded (which under windows typically is cmd.exe).
So, maybe your batch file but leaving out the first line ("start cmd.exe") is, what you are looking for.

Re: Replace strings scripts not done good job

Yes, within batch the double quote guarantees you to parse the string as a whole. But you then replace the string without those doublequotes (which is exactly, what you want, because there are no double quotes int the text files you change). The question then is, do you want to allow partial string ...

Re: Replace strings scripts not done good job

The program repeatedly call the function ":schemes", that replaces one string in a text file with another, based on the content of "pkg_data_temp.txt", which is processed line by line from top to down. The issue then is caused by the fact that some of the lines to replace are also part of other line...

Re: Wokring out battle messages and lol

It uses word lists based on a division of %random%, for example %random%/10922 results in an out put of 0, 1 or 2. (though i am half sure it should be 1,2,3) If i rremember right, then random is a non negative and non zero 16-bit signed int, so the result of "%random%/10922" should be either 0, 1, ...
