The thread title shows semi colons but his initial question showed commas for the example and he even said commas.

Was probably reading a Unix help page. A Backslash with a T represents a TAB.

I will let Dave be the Judge of that.

TASKLIST help shows exactly how to use the FILTERS. Do you expect Microsoft to put every possible filter combination into the examples when really only one is needed. It works the same for all the Filters. It would be redundant! Filters: Filter Name Valid Operators Valid Value(s) ----------- -------...

Not on a pc right now but I am pretty sure since you are copying to the system directory the batch file would need to be run with elevated privileges on Windows 7.

Pretty sure if you read the help from the cmd window you could see some examples.

many thanks to DaveBenham, squashman, and Foxidrive for responding with solutions, im working on implementing them now. turns out i had an additional 7 values for a total of 28, so dave's first solution seems to be the winner as it can handle up to 32. for sq, yes there can be (and usually is) mult...

I am sometimes amazed that you can do something in batch a couple of different ways and still get the same result.

And I guess technically the FOR /L loop could just stop at 2. No need to replace 1 comma with 1 comma

copy and paste the source data will affect the format... hence i decided to do a print screen That is what the code tags are for! Hope this time will be clearer.. Let's hope so for your sake. I see you have this posted on multiple forums on the Internet and a few of them are frustrated with your la...

Another option would be to use the /V switch with the TASKLIST command and then pipe it to Findstr and have Findstr look for the Specific Window Titles.

I read here in Dostips that when using the /c: switch more than once that you have to also use the /i case insensitive switch, because of a bug. EDIT: Yes, your technique works well too squashman. @echo off start "" "notepad.exe" start "" "calc.exe" :Loop tas...
