Bonjour everyone. I recently found out bout ansi escape sequences and I found this strange behaviour. I have this code: @echo off for /f %%A in ('echo prompt $E^| cmd') do set "ESC=%%A" echo %ESC%[100m pause It should make the background grey. However, it seems like only the text's background is gre...

Hehe, I see your point. I think I was just being stupid, and was dumb enough not to realize that it was the method at the core

Merci beacoup Shadowthief.
To answer your question aGerman, I didn't really want tons of extra txt files for the stuff I was doing, so I just wanted one file for everything instead.

Thank you so much AGerman! It worked like a charm. I also have one small question. I have this code: setlocal enabledelayedexpansion set n=1 for /f "tokens=* delims=:@" %%L in ('findstr /bl :::@ "%~f0"') do ( set Line!n!=%%L set /a n+=1 ) pause Theoretically, it takes each line with ":::@" before it...

Salut tout le monde! I have a problem with setting each line of a txt file to a variable. All the variables have a blank value, whichever method I try.

FOR /L %%G IN (1,1,6) DO ( SET /A rand%%G=%RANDOM% * (5 - 1 + 1^) / 32768 + 1 ^) Neither does this FOR /L %%G IN (1,1,6) DO (...

I have another question. Hopefully this gets answered... I have this: FOR /L %%G IN (1,1,6) DO ( SET /A rand%%G=%RANDOM% * (5 - 1 + 1) / 32768 + 1 ) But for the life of me, I can't figure out why it doesn't work. It displays the error message :"/ was unexpected at the time". I really see no error ho...

@penpen Thanks
@Sqaushman Your solution worked! Thank you so much

Bonjour everyone. I'm having a problem with findstr right now. I have some text like this: :::. Path is :::. Your name is :::. Folder is And I use this to output the text. FOR /F "tokens=* delims=:." %%H in (findstr /bl :::. "%~f0"') do @echo %%H It works fine. At the top, I also have this code: SET...
