Echoing variables with colouring problem for filenames or directories

Posted: 01 Apr 2020 15:16

I've taken this code from StackOverflow written by Jeb: https://stackoverflow.com/a/5344911/8262102

It works great for simple text but I cannot get it to work for echoing filenames or directory variables in the code below.

The error I'm getting is FINDSTR: Cannot open Directory...

The report fileList variable contains the content.

Code: Select all

"Z:\Music\Artist 1\01 Song.flac"
"Z:\Music\Artist 1\02 Song.flac"
"Z:\Music\Artist 2\01 Song.flac"
"Z:\Music\Artist 2\02 Song.flac"
"Z:\Music\Artist 2\03 Song.flac"
"Z:\Music\Artist 3\01 Song.flac"
"Z:\Music\Artist 3\02 Song.flac"
Here's the code in full, line 105 is where I'm having problems getting the !dirBase! variable working with colour.

Code: Select all

@echo off & title Example to go through a list of file and echo, Directory then file(s)... & color 02 & chcp 65001 >NUL

)

rem All this to remove [:]

Hi stevehero,

most of my code is more or less only a proof of concept :!:
The color sample, too.
Long time ago, I developed it to show that it's even possible to colorize characters.

But to use it as a function, you better switch to the code of Dave SO: How to have multiple colors in a Windows batch file?

Or search for the function of Carlos, that is also an advanced version of the same idea.

Your current problem is a direct result of my proof of concept, it doesn't handle the backslash nor parameters starting with a drive.
It's easy to solve, but for that better use any of the other solutions

Thank you. I've tried that and it works. Although with the character limit I'll probably end up not bothering with it and just stick with plain old colours.

I quite like the PowerShell way too. I've modified the code on that same thread of skrebbels' code. https://stackoverflow.com/a/12894047/8262102
Although special characters are not supported with that.

Code: Select all

@echo off
rem Based on: https://stackoverflow.com/a/12894047/8262102

call :TEXTCLR "Blue" "Yellow"    "Something Something"
call :TEXTCLR "Yellow" "Magenta" "Done!"
goto :eof

:TEXTCLR
powershell -Command Write-Host "%~3" -foreground "%~1" -background "%~2"
goto :eof

rem https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.consolecolor?view=netframework-4.8
rem Colours available
rem Black
rem Blue
rem Cyan
rem DarkBlue
rem DarkCyan
rem DarkGray
rem DarkGreen
rem DarkMagenta
rem DarkRed
rem DarkYellow
rem Gray
rem Green
rem Magenta
rem Red
rem White
rem Yellow
Here's my updated code at the bottom to include the new colorprint fn.

And the .txt file that I have:

Code: Select all

"Z:\Downloads\Downloads\Artist 1\01 Song.flac"
"Z:\Downloads\Downloads\Artist 1\02 Song.flac"
"Z:\Downloads\Downloads\Artist 1\03 Song.flac"
"Z:\Downloads\Downloads\This is a really really long pathname for some unknown reason\Really its silly how long it is\This is a song made for dancing 01.flac"
"Z:\Downloads\Downloads\This is a really really long pathname for some unknown reason\Really its silly how long it is\This is a song made for dancing 02.flac"
It throws an error:

Code: Select all

FINDSTR: Cannot open Directory       [ Z:\Downloads\Downloads\This is a really really long pathname for some unknown reason\Really its silly how long it is\ ]\..\x
