I was wrong, you were right. Instead of switching back and forth and timing, I wrote another script to undo the copy and ran it back to back to back 10 times and the time really was fluctuating by as much as 60+ seconds. I switched it and ran it again, and saw that it still fluctuated by 60+ seconds...

I am Rang, and I've done what you're doing... A loooong, loooong, looooooooooooong time ago. Then I got smarter, downloaded the source for ROM and modified that so I could have multiplayer And back on topic... @Orange - If I ever finish PowerBat, I'll give you a copy. I'm using the win-API and no .N...

I thought about that too, and while I only ran it 6 times both ways, the 1st way is consistently 30-50 seconds for 1700 test files and the 2nd version is consistently 90-120 seconds for the same files. It's wierd. I will change my IN() though just to be more efficient. And I still like the look of t...

@Ed, I think part of the problem is that his Example is wrong. It's not SET %PATH:str1=str2%... It should be SET PATH=%PATH:str1=Str2% and then it not only works, but it also mimics his example question: SET PATH=%PATH:str1=Str2% SET %~1=!%1:str1=str2! Now the only difference is the ! being used for...

So while I'm waiting on feedback for my latest script I decided to go clean up some of my older scripts I still use today, starting with my file-indexing script. I ran into something strange (Strange being relative to my own knowledge and what I've learned on this site recently). I changed this code...

@Dave, Removing the IF block - The length of the number in %%C is never over 4, so your solution worked for shaving off some time, cutting that loop from 50-62 seconds down to 21-30 seconds. CSVFix does have a pad command, but it's used to pad the number of fields and not the values in them, so if y...

Ed, here are two sections I'm fairly certain I can get compressed into one, but after looking at the map-value (I've been there!) I'm not sure putting 10 thousand calls is going to resolve the problem... First this section takes comma delimited output, %CMD% can be typed output from a CSV file or in...

Well, it's not ALL native DOS. I am using CSVFix for most of the file manipulation, comparisons, etc... I'm using DOS for things that CSVFix won't do yet. Like filling subsequent rows with data from previous rows, but only on certain conditions etc... I could do the whole thing in DOS, but that woul...

Yeah but what I am looking at for speed here is flow. I have some large files I'm looping through, and while CSVFix is fast, it doesn't do everything I need it to yet. Still working on that. So I end up looping through a few files several times to accomplish the end result and since it's the loop th...

Well, since I was already having to use a FOR loop to check (which is ok, it's fast enough) I went with: SET Check=%%C SET "test=/BH/TD/RB/RC/AB/" <--- Just moved this outside of the loop. FOR /f "delims=" %%a IN ("/!Check~1,2!/") DO (IF "!test:%%a=!" neq &quo...

You're welcome SpyGob, but Ed's way is more "accurate" incase you do have users that have administrative rights. This usually occurs in the home/ home office where the first username registered on the PC has administrative rights and in businesses where the "administrator" accoun...

Ahah! (Maybe)... Check is actually set as the first 2 characters of %%~C in a FOR loop... But only the first 2 characters. Right after my Ahah! moment though I realized that I had already tried to do something like: SET Check=%%C:~1,2% And was told I had to put it in two set statements to do it... (...

Thanks again Dave! I'll have to play around with that tomorrow... I was thinking about the test string you created, it won't change and can be set outside of a command block. I'm going to fool around with that tomorrow and see if I can get this to work instead: if "%test:/!Check!/=%" neq &...

Dang This is great, but it doesn't work if you also have to expand !Check!... set "test=/BH/TD/RB/RC/AB/" if "!test:/!Check!/=!" neq "!test!" ( <Some Commands if found a match> ) else ( <Other Commands> ) !Check! doesn't expand and so nothing gets replaced with nothing....

Ed you know... You're right I didn't think about that...
