At the bottom of that page it shows how to use batch + DEBUG to patch the old version of CHOICE to get the non-standard behavior that can read special keys. Not very useful, considering most installations of Windows do not support the DEBUG command. Also, there are multiple versions of CHOICE out th...

I have never seen any version of choice that supports an /S option, certainly not in any standard Windows CHOICE command.

Not surprisingly, this does not work on my Windows 10 machine.

You must have a non-standard CHOICE.EXE file.

There is nothing complicated about it - the original post in this thread shows the basic technique. Just a few minor tweaks to get your behavior: echo %correctMD5% *C:\program\config.ini | hashsum /c /q && goto :step1 || goto :step2 Just be sure to put an asterisk before your file path, and don't us...

:lol: Good idea, but its not gonna be written by me. I do wonder what I would have received if JREPL was shareware with a suggestion of $5 per user. I did receive an unsolicited donation from one user - that was pretty cool, and a total surprise. If I ever write the compiled .NET version (major rewr...

Here is JREPL version 8.6 JREPL8.6.zip Summary of changes: 2020-07-30 v8.6: Added options to /K, /R, and /MATCH to count the number of matches or rejects instead of printing them. Added the counter /JScript variable. Fixed /T Pig Latin example - $0 corrected to read $& FIND /C "search" counts the n...

Here is a very fast solution that shouldn't have any memory issues. I use FINDSTR to do all the heavy lifting. The first FINDSTR only preserves lines that contain ":\" and lines that equal "end line". The odd syntax is due to FINDSTR peculiarities when dealing with \ and " characters. That result is...

Handle 3 definitely starts off as undefined. Explanation of your middle test: Starting condition (call it START) 1 = stdout 2 = stderr 3 = undefined 4 = undefined 5 = undefined Redirection of left side block: 1>&3, current definition of 1 is stored in first available (3), and then 1 is set to curren...

Quite simple actually. You just need to write a regex that matches lines to be deleted and use the /R option to reject lines that match and the /XSEQ option to enable substitution of \c for ^ and \q for " The \c is needed due to the pesky doubling of ^ when using CALL call jrepl "\c(?:[\c,]*,){4}(?:...

@echo off call :writeFile >output.txt exit /b :writeFile - All output from this routine will be written to output.txt echo Line 1 echo Line 2 echo etc. exit /b Or, if you already have existingScript.bat that writes your desired output to the console (stdout), then from the console command line: c:\...

You should have no problem removing \r (carriage return) in the middle of a line without the /M option. You can remove all \r that are not part of the standard \r\n end of line with the following: call jrepl "\r" "" /f "file.txt" /o - As each line is read, the \r\n end of line is automatically strip...

I originally forgot to left zero pad the number to 4 digits. I edited my prior post to add the padding

This is trivial with JREN.BAT - a hybrid JScript/batch regular expression renaming utility call jren "^.*" "lpad($n,'0000')+'.jpg'" /j /p "c:\pathToYourFolder" /rfm "^[a-z0-9]+$" It is not much more complicated to use pure batch @echo off setlocal enableDelayedExpansion pushd "c:\pathToYourFolder" f...

Pipe is a regex meta-character that means alternation (basically an OR operator). Like any meta character, you escape it with a backslash. The /XSEQ and /M options aren't needed. So JREPL "\|" "" /f TEST2.txt /o TEST2b.txt The other option is to use the /L literal option, so the search is treated as...

Your original request to preserve the first 3 title lines, and then extract and sort the remaining lines that contain FALSE, can be easily solved with JSORT.BAT , plus a little sideways thinking with your use of FINDSTR. JSORT is a hybrid JScript/batch with a number of useful options: Skip n lines (...

JREN.BAT is a hybrid batch/JScript regular expression file/folder renaming utility. But it also has options that make it useful as a directory listing utility, with the ability to display the total size of all files within a folder (including all subfolders recursively). The following will give the...
