This is ingenius! But may I suggest a slight modification of the opening and closing tags: echo line %#=%%=#% Neither can be expanded since they litteraly are illegal as variables due to the "=". If the tags are modifyed slightly to say: echo %#-_%%_-#% Then you can expand the tags like: SET "#-_=Li...

I simply do not understand your example!
Are you intending to convert the output string into an array - and the print the characters one by one?
How would this solve the position72-80 problem?
Please supply a complete example

does not solve the problem. Makes windows "jump" to another size and the screens blinks.

Is it possible to truncate the string at col 80?

You're right! debug.exe is not installed as default on 64 bit. Removing cEcho.exe

It's a library with mutual dependencies. unzip.bat requires _debug.cmd and _GetOpt.cmd. If you need the help function as well, What.cmd is needed too.

I've added a note to the README. So please download the entire library.

Can a 16bit program run on a 64bit Operating System?

Hmmm - 16 bit batch script?!? I'm not reinventing CMD.exe.

Well the .BAT files ARE a wrapper to VBscript or Jscript functionality. This is indicated in the documentation: xxx.BAT A wrapper to VBscript or Jscript functionality. . The scripts are wrapped using cmdize.cmd . What do you mean by when they can't get it work as a .bat. . They are indeed .bat files...

Yes! Under Windows 7 32+64 bit and Windows 10. I do not have other versions available. Currently I'm not aware of any vital differences in the batch environment, that should affect these scripts. No references to %ProgramFiles%.

Not exactly. I've made a mistake at the top of the header but the header clearly states:

REPL.BAT was written by Dave Benham

You're right about this version being outdated. Sorry - I've updated to JREPL.bat right away.
Thank you for bringing this to my attention. And Dave - I apologize

For years I've been looking for the ultimate DOS/Windows batch library - without much success. So I've build my own - including documentation, unit tests and examples. The library is not a collection of snippet - like DosTips, but ready to use scripts; The "_" Windows Batch Library (The &q...

Bingo! And DIR cannot surpress short file names - only surpress the long names. So forfiles can do the trick: forfiles /s /M "*1*.*" /c "cmd /c ECHO:@RELPATH" I'd whish that "Windos" could learn from *nix: Don't hide your tricks - do exactly what you're asked to do.

This command took me by surprise: m:\flac\Adele\19>DIR /B "01*.*" 01 Adele - Daydreamer.flac 08 Adele - Right as Rain.flac I did only expect the "daydreamer" line. Likewise: m:\flac\Adele\21>DIR /B "01*.*" 01 Adele - Rolling in the Deep.flac 05 Adele - Set Fire to the R...
