Thanks Jeb, i have absolutely no idea why I didn't think about that, but it even works with echo: which I actually use pretty often
But really thanks, you saved me from a huge headache

I'm 100% certain this question has been asked and answered already, but its literally impossibble to search for. I want to tell if the batch file's arguments contains `/?`. I need to check every possible postion, then if it's present show a help message just like a com application do. I tried (echo ...

Here's an example: @echo off setlocal enabledelayedexpansion && rem basic setup for %%I in ("%cd%") do set odrive=%%~dI & if not %%~dI==%systemdrive% %systemdrive% & rem This line corrects the strange behavior of replace /w and xcopy /w on fat32 drives by changing the path to the system drive :begin...

It can be done but you have to handle all the keyboard input. There's the 'xcopy /w' and 'replace /w' methods for that(getting all the keys), I will link them later. But if you just want a simple code, then it does not worth the effort. Ps: In older versions, there's the break command wich turns off...

Thaks for the replies!
Turns out Im an idiot, and I left out a second percent sign twice ...

Hello everyone! I have a really annoying problem on hand witha really short script: set me=%~nx0 echo a for /f "tokens=*" %%G in ('dir "%~dp0" /b') do ( echo b if not %G == "%me%" ( echo c if %~zG == 32640 (echo %G %~zG b OK) else echo %G %~zG b MISMATCH ) ) pause It shows a sytax error at the line ...

There is a way, but its not pure batch. It uses a temporary vbs script: @echo off echo ret=Msgbox("Continue?",4,"Terminated.") 'msgbox(title,type,headline) Add 16 to type to show it as an error, 32 to question, 48 to warning, and 64 to information >%TEMP%\yn.vbs echo wscript.echo ret >>%TEMP%\yn.vbs...

@Aacini I found a strange thing lately,with this script: @echo off :null PowerShell Exit($host.UI.RawUI.ReadKey('NoEcho,IncludeKeyDown').VirtualKeyCode); echo %errorlevel% goto null this can detect arrow keys, but only as %&'( (key 37,38,39,40) So far this is the closest thing I could find for arro...

I found a better website with examples:https://ss64.com/nt/syntax-replace.html

Hi! You should really check out the "help set" command. Environment variable substitution has been enhanced as follows: %PATH:str1=str2% would expand the PATH environment variable, substituting each occurrence of "str1" in the expanded result with "str2". "str2" can be the empty string to effectivel...

Thank you very much Jeb
It works

Hi everyone! My problem is that I have no idea how to check if a variable is equal with a <cr>(0x0d) charater. So far what I got: The var key comes from a read key method (with either the "replace /w" or "xcopy /w" method) for /f skip^=1^ delims^=^ eol^= %%A in ('replace ? . /u /w') do set key=^%%A ...
