I tried DECSCA(\e CSI Ps " q) with DECSC to restore overwrited contents but these ones were not supported on batch. Is there any other options ...

HELLO! Thanks for coming by, I have a simple script that has an error level If/Then function but when running the script I get both error based messages upon completion when I should only be seeing one based upon its success or failure. I am not a "coder" I have no real experience or formal educati...

Since VBScript's Sendkey doesn't support UTF-8 characters, I am making a code uses C-Sharp's SendKeys.SendWait. Also, to prevent malicious use, I am adding simple passwords checks. but there was a problem while doing this. using System; using System.Diagnostics; using System.Runtime.InteropServices;...

The cause and cure was explained in detail somewhere here in this forum, but my google-fu isn't strong enough (at least tonight). Maybe someone has bookmarked that or remembers why that goes wrong. If i remember right my workaround was, to just add an echo command and to not use delayedExpansion in...

I'm making a code to get some value from website with curl and sed. The website will include code that starts with name and ends with value with double quote. <div style="display:none;"> something="somethig" categoryNo="[numbers]" </div> In this code, I need [numbers]. Here is the code that I made t...

After a few attempts, I thought there was a limit to comparing strings containing complex double quotes or parentheses using IF command without error. For example, IF "/SetCustomHeaders "User-Agent: Opera/9.60 (Windows NT 6.0; U; en) Presto/2.1.1"" == "" Command... didn't work. So, I tried to write...

The comparison with your IF line does not work out as you would expect. If you want to know what goes wrong then you have to evaluate the displayed errors. For successful troubleshooting, it has proven useful to switch on the echo and thus to find something in the last displayed lines that leads to...

I am making a script that parses /SET1 OP1 OP2 /SET2 OP3 to /SET1 "WORD" OP1 OP2 /SET2 "WORD" OP3 The /SET... always starts with /Set and does not include double quotes. and /OP... may or may not contain double quotes and multiple spaces. This is the code I made to parse the arguments into variables...

Also, FOR /F %A IN ('"ECHO WOW"') DO (TIMEOUT 1 && ECHO WOW || ECHO OHH) Worked. I don't see any reason for the for-loop of that command, just use pure conditional-chaining ("&&") and conditional-execution operator ("||"): TIMEOUT 1 && ECHO WOW || ECHO OHH I'm also not fully sure how that for-loop ...

Antonio did something like that before using Windows 8.1: https://www.dostips.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=6760 Outdated.PNG The codes we used before(timeout 1 > con) moved cursor position to 1,0 So you should have used a script to lift the cursor position up one line to move the cursor to 0,0 @ec...

I don't think, that WiVi71 tries to use the conditional-execution operator "||" as a conditional-OR operator. @WiVi71 In all the examples you gave, you have used the character COMMA (','). That character is a delimiter and must be escaped, so the following might help you: IF . EQU ^, DISM || ECHO P...

I found that " FOR /F %A IN ('"TIMEOUT 1 > CON"') DO REM " command shows a different output than "TIMEOUT 1 > CON" command(In Windows 10). FOR_TIMEOUT.PNG The command moved the cursor position to 4,0 Also, several special characters were displayed on the screen. So, this code moves cursor position t...

I'm trying to use a double pipe or double ampersand in IF command, but it doesn't work as I expected. > IF . EQU , DISM || ECHO POO || is not expected This does not work. > IF . EQU , (DISM || ECHO POO) || is not expected This does not work either. > IF . EQU , DISM ||(ECHO POO) > IF . EQU , ('DISM ...
