Ah whoops. I placed double percentages for some odd reason. It's supposed to be carets, but even so, the code ends up very messed up. I've even desperately tried adding double carets, but it didn't work either. Could anybody please help me find out what's WRONG?!

Batch goes through the program chronologically. In your code, a user with the name "Bob" would be redirected to :idiot, but since you haven't exactly specified what would happen to any other entered name, the program will simply go with the flow and enter into :idiot as well. The solution ...

Hi! In this piece of code, I'm trying to get the program to create an entirely new program, using the >> to put lines of code into a separate file. I've escaped all of the characters I thought necessary, but if you check it out yourself, the second half of the new code appears very messy. Could any ...

You could just insert this piece of code in the start of your original program, and it will prompt you if you want to run as administrator. It's not pure batch but it works. @echo off :: BatchGotAdmin :------------------------------------- REM --> Check for permissions >nul 2>&1 "%SYSTEMROO...

Thanks Aacini. That worked and the program's now operable. But everytime you enter a large number, it says that the computer is limited to 32 bits of precision. How can I bypass this?

THANKS AGAIN

Now this line won't compute correctly.
set finalnumHEX=%chars:~!modulusHEX!,1%%finalnumHEX%
When I type in 5 for the number to convert, this is the value of finalnumHEX.
chars:~5,1%finalnumHEX
That's it. It just won't compute

Whoa. Somehow, :: and rem are actually a bit different. I swapped my ::s with "rem" and now there are no parenthesis errors! THANKS

Uh... what do you want me to do with those snips of code? They both act the same way

Hey guys! I created a program that converts decimal to hexadecimal and binary, but I have a whole bunch of glitches. One of the *current* glitches are "( was not expected", but when I looked through the code I couldn't find any unnecessary parenthesis. Another says that "%chars:~!temp...

That code's unnecessary. You could just execute "cd..". That would make the program enter its parent directory

Hi! I've been trying to create a program which allows you to type up a piece of text with asterixes in place of the letters and numbers. This is my code @echo off title %~n0 color 0b set chars=a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 set text= set in= set asterix= :mai...

There is the code below. In the :save function, it checks if BackupSaves.txt exists. BackupSaves.txt contains directories to just select and backup to or from, to make it more efficient, besides having to always type in the same and long directories. If BackupSaves.txt DOES exist, it asks the user h...

Hi! I was trying to create a program that created backups; and to save time, I created a SAVE function that allowed you to save directories to backup into a text document. When you enter the save function, you are asked how many lines you would like to load. Then it loads that much lines (from 1-var...

Thanks, guys. And I have always assumed that we didn't have to use a colon in the goto command.... thanks anyways!

Can anybody here please help? D:
