help with multilinea macro in not delayed

[einstein1969]

unfortunately with macros and the various /escape/ etc substitutions I have never been able to.

I am making a "Lite" version of the "automacro" program that Terry T3rror made viewtopic.php?f=3&t=11339. This is because I need to keep the macros also in the form of subprocedures callable with call: (I don't know if I will succeed).

I have reached a point where it seems impossible to cross the endlocal tunnel/barrier on a ready-made macro that contains LF. I have prepared a small example of the point that I cannot overcome.

Basically the automacro version of T3rror wants Delayed enabled. I am trying to enable it inside the automacroLite sub and therefore I have to overcome the barrier. I managed to overcome the barrier without LF and now I am in non-delayed mode.

And I wanted to know if it was possible to do the final part of the character substitution in non-delayed mode. The first substitution that I am trying is that of the LF. I am not succeeding and perhaps it is not possible as I was told.

But never say never....

Code: Select all

@echo on

setlocal disabledelayedexpansion

echo 1.

rem simple one line macro
set "macro1=set/a a=a+1"

set a=1

echo a=%a%

%macro1%

echo a=%a%

pause

echo 2.

rem multilinea macro
set "macro2=set/a a=a+1 [LF] set/a b=b+1 "

rem define \n 
(Set LF=^
%= this line required =%
)

rem is it possible to replace the [LF] with the var LF and have a multiline macro in not delayed mode?

rem set macro2=%macro2:[LF]=.....%

rem use macro in delayed/not delayed , is it possible?

%macro2%

rem OR

setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
%macro2%


pause

is it possible to replace the [LF] with the var LF and have a multiline macro in not delayed mode?

Hi einstein1969,

I don't see the relation between delayed expansion and line feeds here.

Using of line feeds in macros just depends on code blocks.
It is essential to use the parenthesis in the macro.

Code: Select all

rem define a line feed for using in macro definitions
(Set $\n=^^^
%= this line is required =%
)

set macro2=(set/a a=a+1 %$\n%
set/a b=b+1 %$\n%
)

echo on
%macro2%

Only the parenthesis allows a simple way to embed and use line feeds, because without, a single line feed stops the parsing of a line

I explained myself badly.

I expanded the code hoping that you can understand where I'm having difficulty

I have a code that reads a file and prepares the macro in this format: set macro=<code>[LF]<code>[LF]<etc>

Code: Select all

@echo off
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion

rem From Honguito98 idea
call :AutomacroLite "%~f0" f1

%f1%

echo !a! !b!

pause

goto :eof

:AutomacroLite param
If not "!!" == "" (
  1>&2 Echo %0 requires delayed expansion enabled prior to calling.
  Pause
  Exit /b 1
)

rem version 0.2 contributions by T3RRY on 20/9/2024
rem version 0.1 by Einst on 19/9/2024

rem Here is a piece of code that reads a file and creates the macro in the following format: example

set "%~2=for /L %%l in (1,1,5) do set/a a=a+1[LF]set/a b=555[LF]"


set "%~2=(!%~2!)"

rem define \n 
(Set LF=^
%= this line required =%
)

 set ^"%~2=!%~2:[LF]=^%LF%%LF%!"
 set "%~2=!%~2:%%%%=%%!"

goto :eof

this code works, but I would like to do the setlocal enabledelayedexpansion in the procedure and then pass the tunnel/barrier endmacro if possible.

Like this:

Code: Select all

@echo off
rem setlocal enabledelayedexpansion

rem From Honguito98 idea
call :AutomacroLite "%~f0" f1

%f1%

echo !a! !b!

pause

goto :eof


:AutomacroLite param

setlocal enabledelayedexpansion

If not "!!" == "" (
  1>&2 Echo %0 rewuires delayed expansion enabled prior to calling.
  Pause
  Exit /b 1
)

rem version 0.2 contributions by T3RRY on 20/9/2024
rem version 0.1 by Einst on 19/9/2024

rem Here is a piece of code that reads a file and creates the macro in the following format: example

set "%~2=for /L %%l in (1,1,5) do set/a a=a+1[LF]set/a b=555[LF]"


set "%~2=(!%~2!)"

rem define \n 
(Set LF=^
%= this line required =%
)

 set ^"%~2=!%~2:[LF]=^%LF%%LF%!"
 set "%~2=!%~2:%%%%=%%!"

endlocal ....

pause

goto :eof

is it possible to exit endlocal and return the macro to main? what should i do?

another question: why do you use 3 caret ^ for the definition of LF?

Code: Select all

(Set $\n=^^^
%= this line is required =%
)

another question 2 :

Code: Select all

   set ^"%~2=!%~2:[LF]=^%LF%%LF%!" 

why does honguito use this to make the substitution, can you explain to me why it is double %LF% and the caret ^ in those positions?
