Well Dave, don't get me wrong -- this is a batch forum and I appreciate pure batch solutions. My objection was if you use JScript you should make as simple as you can. Normally I try to avoid those chimeras because they slow down your batch file enormously. If there is no (good) possibility with pur...

Sorry guys, but now I'm totally confused. On the right hand you use JScript-injection, on the left hand nobody has the idea to use it for getting the date directly Why not @set @junk=0 /* The 1st 3 lines should not be changed @echo off & set "@junk=" setlocal for /f "tokens=1-3&qu...

Hi amel27.

I had the same idea but WMIC isn't feasible because it's not available on XP Home.

It works for me as expected
It's a real good alternative if you don't have access to the registry.

Thanks. Will appreciate info on Win7 Starter. You're welcome. The result is that there's no tskill.exe on my Win7 Starter. The intention is to uninstall a security application, so the /F may be essential. Should I assume that TSKILL may fail due to its lack of /F ? Yes, I already had this problem i...

You need the FOR loop to get the sub string to the variable and it's already the 3rd octett (no need for %_var:~25,-4%). @echo off &setlocal for /f "tokens=3 delims=." %%a in ('ipconfig ^|find "192.168"') do set "_var=%%a" echo %_var% pause Regards aGerman

Try:

TASKKILL has more options and is more powerful because of the /F switch.
At home I have a machine with Win7 Starter where I will figure out whether TSKILL is available. (Currently I'm at work. I'll come back with this information in some hours.)

Just to show you an example how to include the VBScript to a batch code: @echo off &setlocal ( echo Set colProcesses = GetObject^("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\.\root\cimv2"^) _ echo .ExecQuery^("select * from win32_process where name='" ^& WScript.Argument...

Hi Alan.

As far as I remember you can use TSKILL with only the process name (without .exe). And yes, you need two command lines for two processes. An alternative could be the usage of WMI in VBScript.

Nah, don't feel stupid. It's only a question of the right commands ... A pipe will transfer the standard-output stream of one command to the next, provided that the second command can process it. That means it doesn't make any sense to pipe the output of ECHO to another ECHO. This is an example to s...

Hi Dave. I knew your approach before and (with some minor changes) it would work for me as well. First let me show you my output of echo:|date C:\>echo:|date Aktuelles Datum: 10.05.2011 Geben Sie das neue Datum ein: (TT-MM-JJ) C:\> Well, as you can see your solution isn't language independent, becau...

It's the Date Last Modified as you could figure out by yourself if you would type FORFILES /? into a cmd window.

Well, if I asked you for real !!! examples I didn't ask out of couriosity. But latest you gave file names without the trailing _m. When I asked you for the output of echo %date% you forgot the seperator (BTW: I still do not know it). Last but not least if you asked for a code that moves the first 10...

Hmm, if the batch file moved
0001067426_001_Amsterdam01_1124533.xml
it is looking for
0001067426_001_Amsterdam01_1124533_c*.tiff
where the asterisk is for any character.

What could be wrong?
