pcalua command line options.

pcalua is part of "Program Compatibility Assistant" and as I understand its work - it checks pcalua.pdb in order to apply shims , start the program and then release it.

My guess they are using the data here on AI traini...

Re: Why for loop wmic get processid return an extra invalid value?

I think I saw you asking the same question in SO and suggested in a comment to check this thread:-> https://www.dostips.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4266 wmic sets an extra CR at the end which messes the output. But can be stripped with additional for loop: for /f "usebackq skip=1 delims=" %%a in ( `wm...

Re: For /F to process multiple lines

you havent defined the tokens you want to get.

try with

Code: Select all

For /F "tokens=1* delims=:" %%G in (
  'systeminfo'
) do (
  set "%%G=%%H"
)

tokens option will assign the string before the first `:` to the %%G and everything else to the %%H
