Your code works just fine, but what I need is for there to be a message printed on the screen if the search string (%%d) is not found in the file.

Maybe I am missing something simple, but I would like to use findstr to search for a line in a file, and parse that line to give output (a for loop works). I have that down, but I would also like the script to alert the user if no match is found. So far I have this: for /f "delims=." %%f i...

findstr /n /r /v /c:"[^ ]" test.txt

Works perfectly! I need to keep working on this findstr stuff, idk why it seems to confuse me so

Thanks for the help guys

use regular expressions for the nonvisible

How would you do that?

I have tried things like


but I can't seem to get them to work

I'm simply trying to find a findstr command expression that will echo back all blank lines of the file with their line number (including lines that consist of all nonvisible characters) So far I have: findstr /n /v /r "^." "file.txt" But this will not echo back a line that has sp...

Strange.. the original solution seemed to work, but maybe I'm crazy. I switched over to this new solution.

My original requirements were simply that the line did not begin with a '/', and the line did not contain 'illegal characters'.

Thanks again

Thank you very much for your response, I hadn't known very much about findstr but now I have a much better understanding after deciphering your alternative solutions. Also thanks for the errorlevel alternative I found this solution suited my needs perfectly: findstr /r "^[^/\\:*?\"\"<...

Here is problematic code: for /f "tokens=* eol=/ delims=" %%a in (format.txt) do ( echo %%a|findstr /r "[/\:*?^"^<^>^|]" > nul if errorlevel 1 ( set "format=%%a" ) else ( cls echo Your format contains illegal characters! echo Rename not completed. pause exit ) ) ex...

Well my apologies...

I'll just let you guys deal with the problems

Call me lazy, but I didn't want to read 2 pages of comments, so I'm posting this solution w/o knowing if it has been suggested already @echo off setlocal enabledelayedexpansion set "string=,,,value1,value2 opt,,,value3,,value4 opt,,,value5,,,,," for /l %%a in (1,1,8) do set "string=!s...

At least it will if the CMD windows are set to appear in the same position, which is how I have cmd windows set to appear.

How would one go about changing that setting (I would like to)

I made this game a while ago, and it's not finished, but I would be curious to see if it could run on other people's computers There are quite a few files and a few external executables (taken from a site called lingubender.com which is no longer online) Anyway most info is in instructions.txt, but ...

Cat, you could do this in the batch file: (I think)



but you would need to only output the password with the exe, you currently output a space before the password aswell

pretty cool I like that yours allows for text passwords, I might get around to making another that can use a text password

Also, I had no idea you could do this very cool!
