The post viewtopic.php?p=37780#p37780 was updated.

Now the script is able to produce working wrapper for powershell script. Now the hybrid is able to read stdin on the same way as the original powershell script.

Seems there is no internal way to detect if a handler is redirected to a file or another pipe. With this idea as base, I wrote a very small and simple .COM program that allows to detect if a standard handle has been redirected to a disk file Aacini , what if you share the original assembler code of ...

fixes and improvements to the code above. The message was updated. Feature list: -- It does comment on "Option Explicit" in VBScript. -- "<?xml?>" declaration for wsf-files is expected. -- "Option Explicit" and "<?xml?>" in a single line only are supported. --...

Yep. Seems there are no better ways to hybridize cmd and powershell (or embed powershell into a batch file). Anyway this solution keeps ability for piping and allows using of command lines arguments through $args (I guess this is standard variable in powershell).

bars143 You are right. The script produces non-working script when the original vbs-file has "Option Explicit". I found it, as well, when I asked myself "what if I code using this directive?" I have modified the "cmdize" script but the solution is so ugly and so funny....

Found few hours ago: blogs.msdn.com/b/jaybaz_ms/archive/2007/04/26/powershell-polyglot.aspx stackoverflow.com/a/2611487/3627676 In my opinions this solution is the best of known. Also you can find my attempt to compile all available solutions in one script. See this thread: http://www.dostips.com/fo...

I decided come back to this thread attempting to cover most of issues in one solution =) I spent few minutes thinking how to name the script. There were three possible candidates: -- any2bat or every2bat (similar to pl2bat or js2bat, but "any" or "every" don't cover everything) -...

Agree with you. "more" has much more problems with huge lines. I remember once I have had inadequate behavior with lines over 64K characters.

this works, as well

Aacini, thank you. Probably this is the most robust solution to clear history and keep the functionality:

where the default value 50 can be replaced by another value as requested.

I am not sure if this is specific for my computer. Can some one test it and confirm? The test is very simple. 1. open command prompt 2. execute few commands 3. check the command history by the command doskey /history 4. clear the history list doskey /reinstall 5. repeat the item 2 (arbitrary command...

I decided to share my little work that extends conditionals in batch scripts. I developed it just for fun. And I can say that the time I spent for it gave me some pleasure :). I put here the link to the source (not for advertisements but for those people who could be interested to read more). https:...

One more good solution inspired by this response m powershell -c "$f = New-Object System.IO.FileStream '.\filename.txt', Create, ReadWrite; $f.SetLength(4GB); $f.Close()" As the bonus it allows to define the file size as a number or in symbolic form (as 4GB for 4 gigabytes in the example a...

"%~f0?.wsf" Very interesting trick allowing to run a batch file as wsf scenario. I tried to embed wsf into bat/cmd but all my attempts bumped to impossibility to run bat file as wsf (as it is possible for vbs or js scenarios). Is there source where I could learn more about it? Seems it us...
