That's not what I was looking for, but thanks anyway aGerman, it's nice to know there is always a person to ask. I appreciate it!
Also, thanks Grapefruits, that really helps!

I was working on a command prompt in batch, and for the command that displays text on the screen, when I tried to display a variable it displayed it like this- %variable% The relevant code for that is set var=4 set /p a= echo %a% If I enter %var% it displays %var%, not its contents (4). However, whe...

I want to create an update checker that checks a raw pastebin file that I will make that contains the current version of the program. If it matches the installed program's version, great. If not, it will read the same pastebin for the link to the current version and update it. The only thing that co...

A way to replace those characters in variables is like so:
From there you could have a for command rename all those files.

To install it properly, run the command SETUP once inside the program, then move Osmium BASIC into the newly created folder.

I've been working on this one for a bit, and at v1.8, I'm deciding to post it to dostips, even though it's already up on osmiumsoft.wordpress.com/programs/basic Any feedback would be much appreciated!

Even though all my programming projects can be found at osmiumsoft.wordpress.com, it's nice to post to a community. I have been working on this batch os for a long time, and I can now say that I'm happy enough with it that I can post it to a major community. Here is the source code, which can also b...

Oh I just realized that the > thingy was the other way around....

Wow, I completely blanked over that... I must have been way too tired to think

Thanks so much! I thought of another solution though.

I am trying to set a delimiter to "
I am failing
help

Here's what the guts of it looked like:
I tried to fix it:
Same thing

I am positive that the error is my lack in ability to set a delim to "
How do I do this?

Here's how I would load in your circumstance:

< filename.ext (
set /p var1 <--- Puts line 1 into a variable
set /p var2 <--- Puts line 2 into a variable, etc.
etc..
)

In the set /? help thing, it says that you can replace strings and characters in a variable with a custom string or character. To remove the spaces from "hi there" in the variable a, run set a=%a: =%

To replace a's with b's, run set a=%a:a=b%

You get the point

It is case insensitive
