Thanks for the code aGerman (even if it is a bit much just to perform simple arithmetic)

BTW: I have just completed my first real C++ project, a program which takes the current system time, converts it to decimal time, and then displays and updates this value constantly.

Hi maniacal, A day have 86400 seconds, that are 86.400.000 milli seconds, that is a small number, even for the set /a arithmetic jeb Apoligies. The problem occured when trying to convert from the milliseconds passed today to the decimal milliseconds passed today (involves dividing by 0.864, only ac...

Recently I ran into some trouble with batch whilst trying to convert the system time to decimal time (metric time). The problem occured when trying to convert from the milliseconds passed today to the decimal milliseconds passed today (involves dividing by 0.864, only achievable with set /a %Decimal...

Way to drop the subtle HL reference...

My guess? User error... somehow.

Access your router by typing your ip address (can be found by going to http://www.whatismyip.com/ ) into your internet browser. If you have not accessed the router before, the username and password it requires will be the default ones. The default router username and password may be different depend...

Yes, it seems the process and code may have room for improvement. Also, it seems that it would be very simple to increase the character limit to perhaps encompass entire text documents just by changing a few values, the only problem being an increased encryption time and an increased file size of th...

Did a small bit of cleaning by removing the 'blank' altogether. :DEC4 if %num2%==0 set L=" " for /l %%x in (0,1,61) do set /a inc=%%x+1&if %num2%==!inc! set "L=!map:~%%x,1!" set t%num%= if %t%==%num2% set t%num%=%L:"=% if defined t%num% goto DEC3 set /a num2+=1 goto DEC4...

Ah yes, it appears I had uploaded an older version of the code that didn't interpret spaces. Seems like it would be simple enough to solve as running the product files of your version through my "spacey" version does indeed produce spaces when the solution is 0. Here is the 'spacey' code, ...

After testing the new code, I have uncovered a problem whereupon the decryption does not interpret a solution of 0 as a space as it would in the original file. So if a user were to input "hello world" as a password, it would be decrypted as "helloworld"

Thank you very much for this optimised code, I think it's gotten to the point where it's more of your code than mine I see you have replaced much of the code with simple for loops, encompassed all of the headers under a single label, resized the window, added some more user-friendly interface, and g...

I will consider adding some for loops. When I wrote this batch, I was unaware of the use of FOR which, unfortunately, led to the creation of massive, repetitive, and unnecassary blocks of code in many of my scripts

Works perfect, can't believe I overlooked that use of call....

I have created a password encryptor which can encrypt a password of less than 20 characters containing characters a-z A-Z 0-9 and spaces to produce a password file and a key file. The password is indecipherable without the key. If these two files are stored seperately, I believe that the password is...

So what you want is to have every computer on your network copy a shared folder called 'game' from com_1 at startup? If so, the location of this folder will be \\com_1\game the command you are looking for should be: copy "\\com_1\game" "D:\game" /y This will copy the contents of ...

I recently experienced a problem with the 'set /p variable=' command. Here is the problem code @echo off :begin set /p input=Input: %input% goto begin The intention of this was so that whatever the user inputs will be passed as the next line of code, like the CMD box does. The problem I experienced ...
