Thank you all!

It really works - though I really don't understand the code.

Thanks again.

Hi all! I have a .txt file (.csv delimeted by . How can I count semicolons in each row? field1;field2;field3; field1;field2;field3; field1;field2;field3; field1;field2; field1;field2;field3; In this way I would be able to tell if there is a row in a file that is corrupt (wrong) - wrong number of sem...

@aGerman and @Dave: As Steffen wrote he made CONVERTCP for me - I had one old 16-bit 'pure' DOS .exe which I was using on an almost daily basis to do conversions between CP852 and CP1250 (and vice versa) - of course these 16-bit .exe files don't work on 64-bit architecture any more. Of course Steffe...

If they are in the correct order you can use this: copy *.txt new_file.txt (this new_file.txt will have an EOF character at the end of file) or copy /b *.txt a.a new_file...

@miskox - I appreciate the effort, I had thought of the same method too before posting the question, but because of screen flicker I rejected it. If there's any way (or plugin) to get around the screen flicker then I'm interested Thanks, Of course there are methods to move cursor without flickering...

Maybe something like this: @echo off set /a cnt=30 :0 cls REM title %cnt% if not "%cnt%"=="0" choice /C YNT /N /T 1 /D T /M "Please choose Y or N in %cnt% sec.: " set errlev=%errorlevel% if %errlev%==3 set /a cnt-=1&goto :0 echo Selected:%errlev% Of course some more...

Great work! Well, does not work for me. (XP PRO 32 bit) First: 'Enter line' line is not in the middle of the screen: 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 2 2 4 6 8 2 2 4 6 8 2 2 4 6 8 2 2 4 6 8 2 2 4 6 8 2 2 4 6 8 2 2 4 6 8 2 2 4 6 82 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 4 2 4 6 8 4 2 4 6 8 4 2 4 6 8 4 2 4 6 8 4 2 4 6 8 4 2 4 6 8 4 2 4 ...

thank you re deleting the 2.txt file - that was a mistake on my part the posted "solution" definitely removes empty lines but still preserves the last line as blank, so I am still trying to research this thing and figure out why will definitely post the solution if i find it too Aisha Thi...

Hello all, We have the following code for deleting blank lines in a TXT file, but it is failing to remove the blank lines - any advice? findstr /V /R /C:"^$" c:\salad\yarn\buzzard.txt >>c:\salad\yarn\buzzard2.txt del "c:\salad\yarn\buzzard2.txt" rename "c:\salad\yarn\buzzar...

Of course. Redirection to NUL would cause the FC command to complete faster than displaying everything to the screen or writing to a file.

Is it possible that the MORE command displays -- More (3%) -- prompt after the page is full? Maybe you can answer with pressing the SPACE key (or Q to quit and it should finish immediately I guess). Help for more: If extended features are enabled, the following commands are accepted at the -- More -...

One way would be to redirect output to NUL C:\fc /b file1.exe file2.exe>nul if ERRORLEVEL returns 1 there is a mismatch. Also if file sizes are not the same ERRORLEVEL is 1. Another way would be using a 3rd party software: for example md5.exe or similar and then you can compare these MD5 hashes. Saso

Steffen: you were correct: I changed the font and now it is ok.
