Im not sure that apple sctipt is what i need.
Apple script is more like Auto Hot key for windows, and less like dos command prompt, while shell scripts are much closer to that and much more powerful.

Help needed! I used to rely on bat scripts wrapped into exe launcher heavily and use them to avoid messing with visual studio and coding when i need to make some simple programs. So in this case i only notepad++, exe wrapper and maybe few extra command line tools if such function not supported by cm...

this would be quite hard, you can try to use this command to convert dec string into hex or ASCII symbol call cdm /b exit /b %dec% and this line to catch hex value or ASCII symbol set hex=%=exitcode% & set ascii=%=exitcodeascii% in this case your !ascii! would be a binary byte which you can outp...

Sure it would not, 64bit version of Windows have NTVDM emulator removed, and this means no COM files support, as well as any 16bit windows executables.

Yeah that exactly that big function i refused to use, despite big size of code, also it have mistake. This is fixed, cleaned version :tohex cls set /a dec=%~1 set "hex=" set "map=0123456789ABCDEF" for /L %%N in (1,1,8) do ( set /a "d=dec&15,dec>>=4" for /f %%D in (&...

create text file with extensions, one per line like this ext.txt mp3 mpa asf avi flv mov mp4 mpg swf vob wmv setlocal enabledelayedexpansion for /f "tokens=* Delims=" %%a in ( ext.txt ) do ( set ext=%%a dir *.!ext! /b /o:gn >>list.txt ) This will list only filenames with extensions and sto...

I spent entire day searching the way how to convert dec value to hex and back, unfortunately there is no documented way to do it, but there are 2 tricks, which i want to share to help other people avoid googling all day long without success (well success was partial, there was a big messy code which...
