Thanks for the infos.

Turns out the "Binaries" file also requires the "Dependencies", which I missed.

It's working OK.

Hello, Unless there's a better alternative, I tried GNU grep 2.5.4 but it fails finding lines with HTML tags. Is there a way in Windows10's cmd to accept angle brackets? C:\>grep --version C:\>grep --help C:\>grep C:\>grep -Poha "<h2>" input.html C:\>grep -Poha "^<h2^>" input.html Thank you.

Hello, I'd like to use an HTML's title as filename, but it may contain invalid characters like question marks, etc. Do you know of a way to rewrite a string so that it's DOS-legit? FOR /F "delims=" %%A IN ('xidel "%1" -se "title:=//title" --output-format cmd') DO %%A echo %title% wget -O "%title%.ht...

Hello, I'd like to add a "Last updated YYYY-MM-DD" line at the bottom of all HTML files in a directory, right before </body>. Is there a way to modifiy each file in the loop, instead of eg. saving the edit into a temporary file, and replacing the original with the temp file? @echo off set dt=%DATE:~...

Thanks for the tip on ERRORLEVEL . @echo off echo Looking for Something wget -qO - https://www.acme.com | grep -c "Something" IF %ERRORLEVEL% NEQ 0 (echo Not found) ELSE (echo Found) I found a simpler way to send an e-mail: mailsend.exe -t me@acme.com -f me@acme.com -smtp smtp.isp.com -sub "Test mes...

Thanks, although curl's output is full of HTML while grep only returns 0/1.
The next step is to 1) check the result, and if it's 1, send an email (eg. mail.exe -s "Found" -to me@isp.com smtp.isp.com).

Hello, I need to check for a pattern in a web page, and send an e-mail depending on the output from grep which can be either 0/1 depending on if the pattern is found. Does someone know of 1. a way to do this in CMD 2. a single EXE email app to send e-mail through my ISP's SMTP server? wget -qO - htt...

Hello, I'm using the following list of commands to launch an application and open documents in the same instance, ie. the application is only launched once: REM open.docs.cmd start " " "C:\Program Files\SumatraPDF\SumatraPDF.exe" -reuse-instance "C:\Doc1.pdf" start " " "C:\Program Files\SumatraPDF\S...

Simple enough :-) Still, would it be possible to use a second loop, since I won't know the names of the input files? I only used 1.txt 2.txt as examples. @echo off if "%~1"=="" GOTO PARAM setlocal enableextensions enabledelayedexpansion set items[0]="Some text" set items[1]="Some other text" set ite...

Hello, I'd like your input on how to solve this problem. I need to write a loop to 1) read all TXT files in a directory, and 2) insert a different string in each file. Pseudo-code: for %%f in (*.TXT) DO ( ECHO Handling %%f SELECT CASE CASE 1.TXT: echo "some text" >> %%f CASE 2.TXT: echo "some other ...

Perfect! Thank you.

Hello, In a batch file, I need to rip the filename from a URL, and set it to variable. This doesn't work ("| was unexpected at this time."): REM Usage: mybatch.bat http://www.acme.com/myfile.html → extract "myfile.html" REM OK echo %1 | sed "s/.*\///" for /f %%i in ('echo %1 | sed "s/.*\///"') do se...

Thank you very much.

The problem is that an input file may contain tens of thousands of track points, ie. latitude + longtidude tuples.

Maybe I should just forget about cmd batch files for this task, and require installing a full scripting language like Perl or Python.

Can method #2 be modified somehow to include a call to grep in the middle, so that I can fetch track points from GPX files, insert them, and then append the end of the structure? @Echo OFF (For /F "Skip=2 Tokens=2 Delims=<>" %%A in (%~F0) Do Echo/^<%%A^>)>Output.xml Goto :EOF :<?xml version="1.0" en...
