Thanks for your feedback. Early dabbling suggests you have to learn all of PowerShell to be sure you're using it correctly for anything. I've had several experiences of using scripts people recommended, only to find there's an exception requiring the additional WhoZit cmdlet if you wear a size 12 sh...

Thanks. I suspected that would be the solution. I asked because, well, I had a friend who knew APL. In APL, you could launch a rocket to the Moon with a command that looked like ΦP→W?. Every now and then I see a bit of batch code that reminds me of that, where they do things I didn't know were possi...

Sadly, that produces this:

Yes. Thanks for asking. My post provides a writeup, with links to the sources that explained it to me. That post is at https://raywoodcockslatest.wordpress.com/2022/04/03/dir-filename-hash-oneline/. (Sorry for the long URL. Unfortunately, the FAQs provide no guidance in using the link button in this...

I am working on a batch script that gives me a recursive list of all files in a folder. Each line presents multiple bits of information about one file, including (in this order) last modified date and time, file size in bytes, file name. Example of output: 04/03/2022 03:00 PM 265 Filename . I would ...

I have a playlist. I use IrfanView as my default audio player. It plays one song at a time. My prototype batch file goes like this: start "" "Song 1.mp3" pause start "" "Song 2.mp3" pause start "" "Song 3.mp3" pause When I run the batch file, Windows ignores the pause commands. It starts one song, i...

As reported in https://www.computerhope.com/forum/index.php/topic,182917.msg1012596.html#msg1012596: I ran similar hash commands in Linux and Windows, using rhash and hashsum respectively on the same test folder. While rhash produced results for all files, I found that hashsum seemed to ignore about...

Thanks for the quick reply, Saso. I guess I could use nested conditions to test for the cutoff date and, within that date, to test for the cutoff time. But then I'm not sure if batch will do date or time comparisons for those newer than the specified date and time. Until the day when I figure out en...

I am getting the desired type of information with this: for /r %F in (*) do @echo %~tF %~zF %F The only problem is, it lists all files, whereas I want only those files that have been modified since a certain date and time. I will need to figure out how to prompt for date and time, and then how to ex...

I have a batch file that contains multiple FFmpeg commands, like these: ffmpeg -i input.mpg -ss 00:00:00 -to 00:01:29 -c:v copy -c:a copy output1.mp4 ffmpeg -i input.mpg -ss 00:01:29 -to 00:02:43 -c:v copy -c:a copy output2.mp4 I would like to run these commands one at a time, not proceeding with th...
