With new Win10 update it's now possible to execute bash (or sh) scripts from command line. I made a simple hybrid bat-bash file which works fine for me on Windows 10 Build 14316: @goto :batch_part # Bash part echo Hello from bash! echo Normal syntax for variable expansion doesnt work here: %a% echo ...

Today on Build conference Microsoft and Canonical announced that Ubuntu will be integrated into Win10. After the next major update we can use bash and other linux command-line programs natively!

Then, why you introduced it in a thread whose purpose is to write something in the way most other programming languages does? In the opening post you used the words: a method that allows to use arithmetic expressions in Batch files in a way rather similar to arithmetic functions of other programmin...

Read this thread: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=6382 and rework posted code to suit your needs.

Isn't this basically batch %x:y=z% operator? The only difference, AFAIK, is that [] operator may be used in anonymous expressions.

Can they be nested?

This question is extremely old now, however, someone resurrected it 2015. No need to HEX edit CMD.EXE etc... Someone mentioned a restart too(?) The solution that I found to block CTRL+C aka Terminate Batch Y/N COMPLETELY. No Fuss, No kidding, No Breaking Out. XOUT but that too can be disabled. Brie...

Just type SC in the console first if it exists.

I meant, SC exists and works, but "for..." command simply doesn't do anything.

Strangely, this doesn't do anything on my Win10. What Windows version you are using?

slower when used in small scripts

What developers of cmd.exe smoked? Cause I don't know HOW to code something that works slower when used in small script.
Also, it's speed decreases with memory usage - avg. 15 sec with 1MB used, but 90 sec with 4MB used on my computer.

I was thinking of something similar, but was stumped until I saw your attempt Here is an improvement. Instead of using %1 which could be spoofed, I rely on the %0 value, which I think is difficult (if not impossible) to fake. I also opted to name the variable "private" instead of "h&...

external access It is possible! I thought not . Someone, please dump all awesome stackoverflow things here or, at least, make a list. Also, I made some nice syntax: set LF=^ set exports=^^^%LF%%LF%^%LF%%LF% Use like this: :function %exports% library.bat %* Sadly "%*" can't be removed.
