The following works fine for me on GNU grep 2.5.1 C:\>grep -Poha "<h2>" input.html Windows command line treats quoted angle brackets as literals. I don't think this is a command line issue, unless possibly your actual command is more complicated than what you are showing, causing the search string t...

Good job.
You can simplify by using the predefined counter variable that is already initialized to 0 Dave Benham

Ouch! It has been a long while since I have spent much time with batch scripts or Windows command line, but I don't remember ever seeing this abomination. I ran some additional tests, and all of the following are treated like DEL * del "" del " del """""" del . del "." del ". My guess is that all th...

No - there is no auto detection of encoding.

Use the /UTF option if all input and output is UTF-16LE

For more encoding flexibility you must use the ADO charset options available to /F and /O.

Use JREPL /?/F and JREPL /?/O to get help on using ADO character sets

That swaps stderr and stdout, so stdout messages go to 2, and stderr messages go to 1

I don't understand what you are trying to do, so I have no idea how to solve your problem. It sounds like you are trying to communicate between different processes, which would require communication via files. I use that technique in my SNAKE.BAT batch game. Buried in that thread is a description of...

We have all been down that road - it simply looks wrong. But the countless experiments don't lie - it really is the only option that always works (except for some esoteric CALL situations, which should rarely be needed)

I am lurking in the shadows. :twisted: Actually I have found another hobby that has been sucking up my time - VCV Rack, a Eurorack modular synth emulator for the computer. I am learning all I can about synthesis, as well as creating patches that play themselves so I can use them as accompaniment for...

I am not familiar with dsquery.exe, so I don't know if the commas in OU=MyOU,dc=mydomain,dc=local-l are important, or if they can be converted to spaces. But the FOR /F will convert unquoted commas into spaces. If that is the problem, then I think the following should work: FOR /F "tokens=*" %%a IN ...

Yes, it is frustrating when something has the potential to be extremely useful in a general sense, but then has a limitation that interferes with achieving the full potential.

WTF :shock: :!: :evil: I just discovered my cmd.exe is suddenly missing, as are all my utility files that I keep in d:\utils and include in my PATH. God only knows what else is amiss. I did manage to find a copy of cmd.exe in Windows\SysWOW64. I think it happened a couple weeks ago when my computer ...

Also check out - https://www.dostips.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=7990. Lots of good techniques there for obfuscating code. Nothing to obfuscate select portions, but that could certainly be developed. I feel like this topic has been explored fairly extensively, and I'm not too interested in revisit...
