The two main posters have me awed. My compliments! If I understand correctly, the name of the script that creates the macro variable %MM% is of little importance. I observed that it uses no input arguments and that to set up the macro, a minimum of two console interactions are needed after the macro...

I do this:

Code: Select all

FindRepl "D:\\1" /S:=D:\1;D:\2; >NUL

. . .
The %errorlevel% are always 0, is it right?

Walk before running. Perhaps it would be easier to correlate the errorlevel with the results if you did not suppress them. Get rid of >NUL and you can see for yourself if there was output.

I am having a problem with using the /R switch. I expected only one record to be displayed, but I get them all. Did I not interpret your instructions correctly? This input: Division Schedule Week of Play Schedule Date Start Time Note: Click the week of play link (i.e. Week 1, Week 2, etc...) to see ...

. . . I am glad to see that my work is useful. :D Thanks again and it was so useful that I applied the process to a different kind of input to feed a similar back-end. Instead of a PDF file, I visit a web page, perform a 'Select All' and copy to the Windows clipboard and use Steffen's paste VBS uti...

SOLVED. bars, thank you very much for sharing your progress and thought process. I examined all of your posts with great interest, because I was wrestling with the handling of spaces and tabs. It was all you with only one suggestion. Even though your requirement was solved, I am posting an added fi...

My apologies and this prob where confused. Looked in 7zip folder in c\program files and defentally not got 7ZA in there . What do I do to get it The old command I just copied off the net The old command that you copied, must be quite old. Mine contains a 7zG.exe. That program file folder contains a...

I set the following objectives: . . . 2. This script is a fully functional fork of FindREPL20.bat only intended to be used to call itself. 3. All user options are specified by dialogs with the user with no arguments required for printing schedules. A little more coding and these objectives are now,...

Paraphrasing Bogart's character in Casablanca: "Of all the gin joints, I walks into …”. I have participated in two pool and one dart leagues during my membership at a local fraternal organization.

Here is a batch script that may do what I think you wanted. It only ECHOs the copy command. @echo off & setlocal Set "SysDATE=20180110" Set "SysTIME=08" For /F "usebackq tokens=* delims=" %%F in ( `dir /b NY_%SysDATE%_%SysTIME%* ^| findstr /i /r "[0-9$].xml"` ) do Set "File=%%~F" Echo.copy %File% e:...

I ran into a limitation in the use of window.exe with no operands to get the TITLE of the current window. For some time, I have been handling some cases like this: :: . . .

I have modified my last post that contained code with comments to correct the negative return code and to point out a restriction in using overlapping search strings.

This seems to work on your test file:with the simplest assumptions about the real data.

Steffen, your results surprise me. I set to that size Consolas font and matched the Properties values. I reran after pasting from my own post. If you add a few SET commands for Gs, Wins and cF, the math will be revealed. Here is part of a more complex earlier attempt that I found too destructive to ...

Unfortunately the used API functions don't return the character width for fonts other than Terminal (raster font). That's the reason why I only output the height in that case. Wonderful. So we have Raster font support for 'CmdFont set' and pretty good results for 'CmdFont get' with quite usable out...
