@Saso, Yes... I didn't want to use wmic.exe to get the correct date in any locale so as not to complicate the code further... The whole point of this program is to solve the calendar puzzle... I found a small bug in the definition of pieces 2 and 3, and another when handling dates with day or month ...

The "Daily Calendar Puzzle" is a toy comprised of a board with squares marked with the Month names, Days numbers and DayOfWeek names, and 10 different pieces that covers most squares, but leaves 3 spaces in the board. The goal of the puzzle is to place the pieces in a way that the 3 spaces correspon...

Try this: @if (@CodeSection == @Batch) @then @echo off rem Use %SendKeys% to send keys to the keyboard buffer set SendKeys=CScript //nologo //E:JScript "%~F0" rem Start the other program in the same Window start "" /B rundll32.exe dfshim.dll,ShArpMaintain ComponentesHarware.application, Culture=neut...

You have not indicated the way to provide the confirmation... If it is just the Enter key, try: echo/| rundll32.exe dfshim.dll,ShArpMaintain ComponentesHarware.application, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b3fd472d4be1fc0f, processorArchitecture=msil If it is a "S" key, try: echo S| rundll32.exe dfsh...

You can also use my wmiClass.bat program that access the WMI Classes in an efficient way via JScript code. For example: @echo off setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion for /F %%a in ('wmiClass OS LocalDateTime') do set "%%a" echo LocalDateTime=%LocalDateTime% for %%a in ("Year=0,4" "Month=4,2" "Day=6,2" "...

goodywp, I am afraid I don't follow you... Hi Aacini, just realized that there are some issue regarding some characters as this From the attached two files, one input.txt and output.txt You can see this code did the job but also did some extra job such as orignal in input.txt = ----> in output.txt b...

Is MM/DD/YYYY your %DATE% format? If not, you need to adjust the m=%%a, d=%%b, values in the formula. Just open a cmd.exe command prompt window (click on Start, type cmd and select the black cmd.exe window), do a CD to the right directory, remove the @echo off line and run the program. You will see ...

Ok. What about this code? @echo off setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion rem Get today's DayOfWeek for /F "tokens=1-3 delims=/" %%a in ("%date%") do ( set /A "m=%%a, d=%%b, y=%%c, a=(m-14)/12, DOW=((1461*(y+4800+a))/4+(367*(m-2-12*a))/12-(3*((y+4900+a)/100))/4+d-32074)%%7" ) rem Create a list with the de...

Hmm... Although I completely understand what you need, there are several details that prevent me from writing any useful code. The most important point is: how do you know that a test case has already been run? Anyway, here there are a couple ideas: @echo off setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion set "bas...

Some time ago I developed a series of Auxiliary .exe programs as aid for Batch files. One of those programs is Window.exe that allows to manage cmd.exe windows in several ways; for example, to position the window at any place in the screen. The Batch file below solve this problem using Window.exe au...

Yes. The on screen help on REN command clearly specify: Change the name of one or more files. On the other hand, the help on MOVE command indicate: Move files and change the name of files and directories. Antonio PS - You should try to be much clear on your descriptions. Your problem is to rename a ...

Yes, you are right Sponge Belly. Ed Dyrenn first proposed this method: for /f "delims=#" %%a in ( '"prompt #$H# &echo on &for %%b in (1) do rem"' ) do ( set "%$Defines%=%%a" set "%$Defines%=!$BS:~0,1!" ) ... and then dbenham suggested this simplification: for /f %%a in ('"prompt $H&for %%b in (1) do...

Then I guess Simon (SS64) should correct that info.

Saso

Yes, he already did...

Thanks a lot!

Antonio

Did I miss something? Saso Mmm... Maybe you missed this reply where I posted such a method for the first time more than 7 years ago... Such topic , posted on 2017/Aug/22, is particularly interesting. At the beginning, IcarusLives shows an example where he inserts a hardcoded ESC character into the ...

Interesting! :) I translated your code to printf.exe (version 2.81 with \e as ESC and enabled Virtual Terminal Processing). Here it is: @echo off mode con cols=80 lines=24 cls printf "%%s\n" /* format to show strings */ ^ " S C R O L L I N G T E S T" OUT ^< ^ "\e[21;0H===============================...
