Be gentle with our new members lol

@batcheller
Cleptography is right.
[Windows]+[R] -> cmd -> OK
... opens a command prompt. Type help and hit Enter to get a command list with a short description.
For extended help of a particular command type command /?.
Also have a look at the command index here on DosTips. On the bottom of this site you will find a batch code which will create your own command index.

Of course you were. And you were succinct :lol:
Never mind. Mostly I'm also a bit short-spoken.

It may be better/easier to use delayed expansion. This trick usually isn't necessary for scripts.

@Cleptography
The meaning of "Auch ein blindes Huhn findet mal ein Korn." is ...
"Even a blind hen sometimes finds a grain of corn."
"Even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while."
"A blind man may sometimes hit the mark."
"Every dog has its day."
"Even a broken clock is right twice a day."
... success obtained through dumb luck.
BTW Are you learning German?

@batcheller
Keep in mind:
- a variable is enclosed in percent signs
- a variable after a command is usually expanded to its value
- a percent sign can be escaped by a second percent sign

call echo is a method to expand nested variables.

Code: Select all

echo on
set "a1=test"
set "n=1"
call echo %%a%n%%%
pause

How does it work:
call echo %%a%n%%%
The red ones escape the green ones, the blue ones enclose variable n. After executing of call the red ones are removed and %n% is expanded to the value 1.
echo %a1%
Well, now its clear that echo expands %a1% to test.
