Delete the folder instead of emptying it, then use if exist to see if the folder is there. dir will always return something when it's inside of a folder that exists, so it's always going to return an %errorlevel% of zero.

just FYI: wmic is obsolette

no it isn't

Truncating the output is the best move here, especially since Terminal doesn't respect the mode con command so you can't resize the window on the fly.

I can confirm it's present in Windows 11 as well.

That's a result of you saving the file with the wrong encoding. Your batch script must be saved as ANSI or else it will not work correctly.

Your script should be getting some error if the file isn't being created; either you don't have write permissions to the file, or the drive is full, or your path to rar.exe isn't what you think it is. Again, without knowing what the exact error is, your question cannot be answered.

Hard to say without a description of what "isn't working." I've been using Winrar on Windows 11 since Windows 11 came out and it works perfectly on my machine. Just at a glance though, I'd recommend changing pushd C:\testrar\create rar to pushd "C:\testrar\create rar" since it looks like that folder...

Interesting, it seems that more sequences are supported than just the ones that are listed on https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windo ... -sequences

I'm going to have to do more research into this.

I've been using https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ANSI_escape_code#8-bit as a reference for ESC[38;5;_m sequences

There shouldn't be any problem. Open a command prompt and run the script from there instead of double-clicking it so that you can see what the error is.

Wait, you actually have an exclamation point followed by a space in the name of your folder? Those are the two worst choices you could possibly make. Immediately rename the folder to just Scripts . Because you have delayed expansion enabled, the exclamation point has special meaning. You can try to ...

If your system has access to WMIC, you can define the USB drive letter as a variable rather easily like this: for /f "skip=2 tokens=2 delims=," %%g in ('%__APPDIR__%wbem\WMIC.exe logicaldisk where "drivetype=2" get DeviceID 2^>nul /format:csv') do set "usbDrive=%%g" Subsequently, you can use 'if de...

When you don't use the /C flag, then findstr takes everything in quotes to be a list of things to search for. findstr /B "OS Name:" tells findstr to look for both "OS" and "Name:"
