Re: Cmdwiz - 54 operation cmd helper tool (now with Unicode)

It's not my utility, so without seeing the source code, I can only make more or less educated guesses. Therefore I can't say for sure that, what you described above, is caused by changes in OS and BIOS time. I only can say that unexpected changes to date and time might lead to unexpected issues and ...

Re: Cmdwiz - 54 operation cmd helper tool (now with Unicode)

Above i only can see your Windows date and time, but your BIOS also tracks date and time on its own and depending on the function to detrmine time might affect the result.

Re: Cmdwiz - 54 operation cmd helper tool (now with Unicode)

If i remember correcty, then 'cmdwiz.exe gettime' should return the passed time since system start in milliseconds. The return value is an integer, so you probably got an overflow, which is at least (uint) (-421671808) milliseconds, which is 44 days, 19 hours, 54 minutes, 55 seconds, 488 millisecond...

Re: I think someone could make a convolutional neural net out of pure batch

Batch is Turing-complete (see https://www.dostips.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=5751#p35676 ), so it should be able to compute artificial neural networks as well. It should also be easier to build in batch, because the set/a-command provides access to the evaluation of some basic numerical expressio...

Re: (nearly) ieee 754 floating point single precisition

When i divide high by 2 (realized by high>>=1), then there is an underflow in case high contains an odd number. I don't want to lose that underflowed portion, so i force it to be the leading character of low (low=!c!!low!). But if the leading character of low is 0, then the set/a-command treats low ...

Re: (nearly) ieee 754 floating point single precisition

Then this part how to do it? "normalize that value such That 1 <= decimal number (d) <2" Example ..... After (finally) looking at the code, I would say (in case i didn't msiread my code), that i used a strlength algorithm on d, to shift the first non 0 digit at the first place of after the decimal ...

Re: (nearly) ieee 754 floating point single precisition

Yes, you got it right so far. If i remember right, then the basic idea is to start with a number string in scientific notation, transform that into a decimal floating point representation with exponent to base ten (sign, decimal number, exponent to base 10), transform that into a decimal floating po...

Re: dir ????????.txt does not show only files with length of 8 characters

I would guess that you might find the short names of some files (in case that feature is activated on your system).
You might test that by forcing the dir command to also display short filenames:

Code: Select all

dir /x "????????.txt"

Re: Difficulty running powershell in a for loop due to unquoting and closing of parenthesis

You have to escape the characters, that are not encapsulated within double quotes, which in the example should be everything colored red: powershell -command " Get-CimInstance -Namespace root\wmi -ClassName WmiMonitorID | ForEach-Object { $_.PSObject.Properties | ForEach-Object { if ($_.Name -ne 'Ci...

Re: What is this batch file doing (to make color text)?

The for/f loop uses the prompt command to store the Backspace character into the envronment variable DEL. The set/p command stores the backspace character into a file with the name defined by the second parameter of the :colorText function. The findstr command searches for any non empty line in that...

Re: pushd popd depend on batch filenames with which they run... why?

You got sth wrong with "%~0\..", so let's consider starting the batch file "crysis2.bat" from the current directory "c:\ABC\Bin32". Here the string "%~0\.." is expanded to "crysis2.bat\..". The string neither starts with a "\\", nor with a vomue designator (like for example "X:"). Therefore it is a ...

Re: pushd popd depend on batch filenames with which they run... why?

The reason why 'pushd "%~0\.."' works is pretty simple: Your batch file was successfully started from an initial location with the content of %0, so it must contain a path from the initial location to the batch file location. The 'pushd' command expects a path to a directory and doesn't expect any n...

Re: pushd popd depend on batch filenames with which they run... why?

What exactly are you looking for, when you write "i will find a detour to find a parent dir name"? Are you looking for the parent name of the current directory, or the name of your currently running batch file's directory, or sth else? I suspect you might look for sth like the following: @echo off s...
