Why so complicated? Just take the :strLen function and modify it in order to avoid the call of a label and insert it into your code. ::Skipped Steffen @aGerman: I am actually using it this way at this moment but I'm just curious if a batch macro can be set up by a different file. Like we add a 'loa...

Hello again everyone. This time I'm working with a batch macro. I'm working on a alignment macro. Here is the script. @echo off setlocal disabledelayedexpansion set ^"LF=^ %= This creates a variable containing a single linefeed (0x0A) character =% ^" set ^"\n=^^^%LF%%LF%^%LF%%LF%^^&qu...

@Penpen: Thanks penpen. That helped in solving some of my old problems

Just two questions here.
1) According to the 'cmd /?', the output of cmd command can be piped using /a or /u switch. True?
2) In Antonio's answer one script is using echo and the other is setting it up through pipe to set /p. So how come that solution work and 'echo abcd|set /p text=' Fails?

Making it more clear, There should be two separate cmd windows.
One would take data through 'set /p' and sent the input string two the other cmd window. It would receive the string and show it on screen.

@Aacini: It works fine but there are not two windows. Any ways

Well, my target is simple. I have one window for input and another window for output. In one window you can type text which will be sent to the other window for analysis. Till now I'm using this script. ::Window one @echo off setlocal enabledelayedexpansion for /l %%a in () do ( set /p input=Input. ...

@aGerman: Okay, my answer was actually made around the request and I thought a simple reversing tool could do the work. Maybe multiple calls could do the work but definitely it is slower as it uses 'call :label' .
Your new answer solves the problem. Great work Steffen.

I'm a bit late, am not I? Though if you don't know the number of arguments you can also use this method. :reverse set reargs= call :reargs %* echo(%reargs% exit /b :reargs set "reargs=%1 %reargs%" shift if not "%1"=="" goto reargs call :reverse 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 10 9...

Hello, you can see my external command darkbox which (recently) supports mouse input (and hovering) and keyboard key in the same time. See mouse(2).bat, knm(2).bat and it.bat in tests directory When I first saw knm(2).Bat I was like a I mean, really, this much faster. Seems like a server is much mo...

That reminds me my initial request was for Antonio to update his getmouse.exe . Maybe he doesn't want to add keyboard support to a tool named getmouse.exe

Thanks though you all. You people are a great help.

@aGerman: Thank you very much steffen. The latest version works beautifully. Thanks again. 3) Is the technique available for public? Everything noted in the source code. It's GCC specific. The underlying __start routine will be overridden. Whoa! Never realized that was the trick. I have to try it ou...

I fixed the code above, the last code required delayed expansion to work. This one works without delayed expansion and fixed a small bug at the start for a better gui window.

@aGerman: Cool Tool! Thanks Steffen. Just a few things:- 1) Does conin stands for con sole in put ? I know it's not a serious question, just asking though. 2) Is it possible to have a timer, so that if no input is given within a specified amount of time conin.exe will close itself? I'm too nit picky...
