Note: 30417637376 Bytes = 28.3286 Gigabytes Let's say I want to convert 30417637376 of bytes to gigabytes. set /A "gb=30417637376/1024" The usual issue is that Command Prompt will refuse to do the division with such large number. C:\Users\Windows10>set /A "gb=30433865728/1024" Invalid number. Numbe...

It's probably a division accuracy. Numbers are limited to 32-bits of precision.

What about a subroutine geting the command line passed? @ECHO OFF ECHO This is some example. call :repeatAndExec some_file.exe -flags arguments PAUSE goto :eof :repeatAndExec echo %* %* goto :eof Steffen I mean yeah, it's good enough, haven't encountered any inconsistencies in my own adaptations.

I'm not completely new to the language, only a bit rusty.

I didn't expect that this is much of a problem ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ If the empty line is something you can't accept, then you have to repeat the command line yourself using ECHO. Like so ... echo some_file.exe -flags arguments some_file.exe -flags arguments Steffen I was pretty sure that there was a cleaner w...

Set the prompt empty. Then turn echo on to repeat the executed command line. @ECHO OFF ECHO This is some example. prompt $H echo on some_file.exe -flags arguments @echo off PAUSE Steffen This introduces the unnecessary empty line in-between. This is some example. notepad.exe -flags arguments Press ...

Let's say. I want to ECHO (Display in the Command Prompt output) the: some_file.exe -flags arguments but also execute it. in the script: @ECHO OFF ECHO This is some example. some_file.exe -flags arguments REM I want this to be shown in the output on the command line. And also execute it. PAUSE EXIT

That's not the point, why does it even show that error when it shouldn't, even when the file exists in that place.

The disk1.img.qcow2 exists on my system, but the errors outputs still appear.

The output is: 'qemu-img' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. tssd While there should be no output at all. Even when the C:\Users\Windows10\machines\disk1.img.qcow2 exists. These errors appear. @ECHO OFF IF NOT EXIST "C:\Users\Windows10\machines\disk...

I'd like to have a readable form of code that checks whether a program is available to be used. It's mostly to check if the program is available from the PATH Environment Variable. I'd like to ask if this makes any sense and is a correct way to do that, or you have any improvements on that. @ECHO OF...

These IF statements are suppose to compare strings. As you will see we are comparing: literal "c" character with another literal "c" character . And later on, adding another if statement that compare: literal "b" character with another literal "b" character . Or at least I think so. First test, ever...

I'd like that in the variable SET "substitute=quiethaha" the value quiethaha would be split in two lines: quiet haha I'm quite sure it is possible. But I can't really remember on how. search-replace.cmd @ECHO OFF SETLOCAL ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION SET "word=quiet" SET "substitute=quiethaha" FOR /F "del...

I pasted this command into Command Prompt and there is no output. How come? I expected it to print every line.

PS. doskey /history shows the output when it is not inside FOR Loop

I found something, this command shows the history of commands pasted into the command line. Might be enough for what I need.

Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.18362.720] (c) 2019 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved. C:\Users\user> Let's say I want to output all this to a file. How can I achieve this? Later on I'm considering parsing the cmd output for what happened and what commands and arguments were issued in the ...
