Hi DosItHelp,

your solutions looks like the one of sowgtsoi, without the part of splitting down to 1024 chars.
It's more clear, but you can optimize the for-loop.

Because the maximum allowed string length is less than 8192 characters, this should always be enough

@Amel27: Nice extension, simple but good.

I think only about to sync the read values, but your solution is much better.

Hi akshunj, there is a simple answer, bool expressions are not supported by batch files. But you can use tricks. call :logic_or result "%string1%==%string2%" "%string1%==%string3%" "%string1%==%string3%" if %result%==1 set var=x goto :eof :logic_or <resultVar> expressio...

Hi sowgtsoi, I'm always interested in solutions with pure batch, so your post is very interesting. I have one idea to improve your solution. With short strings (<=15 chars) you can use a lookup trick. set "str=%1" call :strLength result str echo %str% length is %result% goto :eof :strLengt...

Hi,

at the command prompt I have to type


I'm sure, it can be solved - yes we can

Hi,

sorry amel27 but it fails with my standard password: abc"&"&def

It could be hard to accept %1 or %* with such a content.
Do you find a solution?

I see a possible third way, so you don't need to escape anything (except " and %)

set "sql=select 'del ' || name from v$archived_log where sequence#>%MyVar% and applied='YES';"
setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
echo !sql!

hmm... very useful information, may be it is possible (?): The problem is how to use it, with set you can see it, but how to use it? Text after..: $x=(^^1^=^"%%^!^"^!2^!^"^!%%^") echo %$x% - works only if delayedExpansion is disabled, else you need two carets for escaping one ex...

Yes, you got me, i didn't test it.
It only works with a few number of lines.

And of course it's really bad style to use setlocal without endlocal.

P.S. file names must not contains "!" symbol File names can contains also "!" symbols, if you change the code a little bit. @echo off setlocal enabledelayedexpansion set d1=c:\in set d2=d:\out echo ----- echo :1 2: echo ----- for /f "delims=" %%i in ('dir /b/a-d "...

Hi pe.ft, My debugger is the echo command, so not sure of what happens. that's a good idea, but you should use echo on That can show you parts of the expansion. You could read "The Secrets Behind Batch File Interpretation" http://www.lingubender.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=615 Or th...

I would try to split it into two files. The first file, always look if there is an update and do the update if it is required. The second file is the worker. The system is safe, even if an update failed or you have a bug in your worker file. And you don't have the problem, that changing a batch file...

And there is also a difference in the behaviour of set var="Content" vs. set "var=Content" The second case is an other syntax style, only allowed with ENABLEEXTENSIONS. A simple test shows set xx1="eins zwei" drei set "xx2=eins zwei" drei set xx Output: xx1=&q...

Ok the solutions of !k and ghostmachine are good, but it's not batch. And this is the batch forum not the "which tool is better than cmd.exe" So there is the solution of aGerman, but ... it fails I only append one test line CODE1QWERTYYUIOPASDFGHJKLZXCCVVBNM 0 CODE2QWERTYYUIOPASDFGHJKLZ123...

If I try this if "し"=="こ" ( echo same ) ELSE ( echo Not same - unicode works ) It depends on, how I save the file. As ANSI, I got "same" As Unicode, I got "Not same - unicode works" And if I type or more the file I got if "Òüù"=="Òüô" ( I h...
