I tested this setup numerous times and it works perfectly fine, while in the batch form. So I think that it's safe to assume the paths are all set correctly? I may not be as techy as some of you guys on here so... plz extra patience. What I noticed, is that Batch 2 and 3, when they are launched by B...

aGerman, I changed them to .exes as I said. The version you are seeing is the batch version, which I use to confirm that everything should work, there is literally no difference in those two, except the .bat/.exe difference. I converted batch codes to exes successfully in the past, it's only rarely ...

Batch 1: start /min x1\x2\image_c-1.bat start /min x1\temp_storage\check.bat Batch 2: set mdir=%~dp0 cd %mdir% cd.. cd temp_storage :getPID [RtnVar] setlocal disableDelayedExpansion :getLock set "lock=%temp%\%~nx0.%time::=.%.lock" set "uid=%lock:\=:b%" set "uid=%uid:,=:c%&qu...

Three batch files that work with each other won't do the job properly after being converted to exe files, but they do everything correctly in their bat form. I tried setting up both 64 bit and 32 bit conversions, but both won't work. How would I go about determining where the error is? Yes, where th...

You mean ?

I made a text file with the content 34111111 and another one with 34111111111111111111111. Both of them came up, instead of only the one with eight numbers. Is not the limit set by the amount of times I write [0-9]? F.ex., [0-9][0-9] = 2, [0-9][0-9][0-9] = 3. A bit confused here, any ideas as to why...

Apologize for any noobie mistakes, but I thought /m would print the filename containing the string(s) that I want? It's basically meant to be a program that finds all phone numbers that I have saved on the computer. They length is always the same and the first two numbers are always the same, that i...

From this I would get all strings that are eight numbers in length, but what if I want to exclude all of the results that do not begin with two specific numbers? For example out of 12345678 23456789 34567890 I want only those that begin with 34, so the last result would be the only one to show up. f...

I am not sure I understand you, but as far as I know you can't view the contents of exe files in a reasonable way using a text editor, the closest you'll come to viewing exe files is through programs like OllyDbg.

When I move many files, sometimes the message "a duplicate file name exists, or the file
cannot be found" appears, even though I have added >nul. Is there a way of preventing that message from showing up, except making sure that there are no duplicate files and that files can be found?

Also thanks for the advice, I'll make sure to edit the way I add up to a value.

Wow I didn't know that variables were case sensitive... thanks for that. It fixed my problem.

Yeah can someone tell me why? This file is supposed to measure the size of the folder it resides in, and echo the size.
