@dbenham To answer your question: Behind term "!adb!" hides a qualified full-file-path-name that may contain spaces, or not. Hence it gets enclosed in quotes. In my case it gets composed as follows: @echo off & setlocal ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION pushd %CD% ... set "adb_executable=adb-server.exe" if !is...

Thanks for your inputs, guys. To keep you updated: None of the proposed solutions were effective. Have a nice day.

With regards to maximize the life span of an SSD - as modern PCs have it - I want to reduce writing to it. So my intention is to avoid creating / writing to / erasing temporay files: I want to handle it all in RAM. My current problem is that "!adb!" shell "su -c 'cat /proc/!local_app_pid!/status'" >...

For how stupid do you hold me? BTW: I've tested it. Searching Google for "DOS code" delivers 318,000,000 results.

Does anyone have any DOS code for creating a system restore point in Windows 8? I have done a Google-search for this but no luck.

Yes, starting multiple threads from within a batch file is possible, but of course this only is true, if the apps you start are different ones or, if the app you start is always the same, if it allows running multiple instances of itself. For example HOBOCOPY doesn't allow running multiple instances...

Can this help you? @echo off for /f "tokens=1-4 delims=/.- " %%A in ("%date%") do if %%D!==! (set CurrentDate=20%%C%%B%%A) else (set CurrentDate=20%%D%%C%%B) for /f "tokens=1-4 delims=:,. " %%f in ("%time%") do set CurrentTime=0%%f%%g%%h%%i set CurrentDateTim...

Did the replacements: All works perfectly.

@aGerman, thank you for helping.

I use



to read a text file into a DOS batch variable.

You are right: this works FOR /l %%i IN (1,3,%string_length%) DO ( SET /a "offset=%%i-1" CALL SET "flash_drive=%%flash_drives:~!offset!,2%%" ) but now I don't know how to add "correctly coded" lines currently removed EDIT: Variable script_error_occured is declared and i...

Sorry for warming up this thread. A similar problem as initially posted here arose for me, when I wanted to run a string extraction in a FOR loop: neither CALL SET "flash_drive=%%flash_drives:~%offset%,2%%" nor CALL SET "flash_drive=%%flash_drives:~!offset!,2%%" works, CMD.exe cr...

The total number of files isn't already saved in the properties of a folder. Even if you right-click on a folder to show its properties you will see that the number of files and the size will be slowly counted up until everything is processed. This may take several seconds depending on the structur...

It won't work if you're checking to see if the verification script is running, but if you're checking to see if a second script is running (which is how I interpreted your question), then it absolutely will work. OK If OP want to do the check within a batch file, at least I understood it so, not fr...
