Hi, this should work, you got the complete content. @echo off setlocal ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION for /f "tokens=1* delims=" %%a in (tmp.tmp) do ( set par1=%%a echo !par1! ) If you want to escape the characters too, you could use something like @echo off setlocal ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION for /f ...

You got me.

You can see, I haven't tested it.

Hi, the problem is the line set zz=echo %xx% & echo %yy% The & doesn't concatenate it will split the line into two commands so it is equal to set zz=echo %xx% echo %yy% But the next problem is that in %zz% is now "echo ASCII", I suppose you only want the "ASCII" command. ...

Hi df9870, The reason is the expansion phase of the variable. The %var% is only expanded once, at the beginning of the block (). So you only see the value before you entered the block. If you want to use the current value use the delayed expansion syntax. @echo off setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion fo...

Hi, zzz is not empty, but the way you try to print it fails. The reason is the expansion phase of the %zzz%. The %zzz% is only once expanded, at the beginning of the block (). So you only see the value before you entered the block. If you want to use the current value use the delayed expansion synta...

Hi,

but not for me (and some others here) because I'm a German too, but not aGerman

I suppose, I am such a "poor man" who try to solve it with pure dos batch. Because, if I want to solve it easy or short or ..., I shouldn't take dos batch, there are very good alternatives like python, php, perl or c (sorry gostmachine, vbs is not such an alternative) For me it's fun to fi...

So I can't put anything in between the two input questions? No,what !k said is, that it these two lines are different set /p itemNumber=Please type the item number here: set /p itemNumber =Please type the item number here: If you place a space between the itemNumber and the equal sign the name of t...

The only way with pure batch seems to be the use of two cmd-windows.

You can start a second cmd window and start the set /p input in the second window, so the first one can build it's own "timeout".

Hi,

I suppose the sendmail fails, but better you post the output here.

hi central10, the problem, that always the "previous" file will be taken, is a batch specific behaviour at if "%currentlatestFile%" NEQ "%latestFile%" ( echo new file "%currentlatestFile%" set "latestFile=%currentlatestFile%" call :openFile %latestFi...

Hi redro, first you have to solve the "mail to" problem your own code @echo off & setlocal :: set the temp file location set tempmail=%temp%\tempmail.%random%.txt :: echo the basic headers to the temp file echo To: "Scripting Test" ^<praveen.pullela@sirvisetti.com^>, ^<prakas...

and the next round begin set var=%% and set var = %%a are different things, (first the name of the variable is "var" in the second case it is "var " (with one space). so your code should look like @echo off setlocal set var=empty FOR /f "tokens=4*" %%a in (pcheck.txt) d...

hi redo, try to use some debugging code, to see what you read. setlocal set var=empty FOR /f "tokens=4*" %%a in (pcheck.txt) do ( set var = %%a echo read "%%a" ) echo Comparing "%var%" with "LISTENING" IF "%var%"=="LISTENING" ( echo Ecm is ...

hi redro, FOR /f "tokens=4*" %%a in (pcheck.txt) do ( set var = %%a) IF %var% == "LISTENING" echo Ecm is still running else echo "Sending alarm" This can't work, because a block has to begin at the same line (look at if /?) The second problem is your compare %var%==&quo...
