need help - trying to call a macro from within a macro
Posted: 30 Jul 2016 11:58
So I'm just getting started with macros and there is no particular purpose in mind with these other than learning. I've taken jeb's :strlen function and converted it and also made a generic "macro1" to echo out some values. Both of these are working but I can't seem to call the %strlen% macro from within my generic macro. The script below tries a couple of variations. What am I doing wrong?OUTPUT:
Code: Select all
@ECHO OFF &SETLocal DISABLEDelayedExpansion
SET LF=^
SET ^"\n=^^^%LF%%LF%^%LF%%LF%^^"
SET "testString=this has a length of 23"
SET strLen=FOR %%# IN (1 2) DO IF %%#==2 (%\n%
(%\n%
FOR /F "tokens=1,2" %%a IN ("!argv!") DO (%\n%
SET "s=!%%~b!#"%\n%
SET "len=0"%\n%
FOR %%P IN (4096 2048 1024 512 256 128 64 32 16 8 4 2 1) DO (%\n%
if "!s:~%%P,1!" NEQ "" (%\n%
SET /a "len+=%%P"%\n%
SET "s=!s:~%%P!"%\n%
)%\n%
)%\n%
)^&FOR %%v IN (!len!) DO ENDLocal ^&SET "%%a=%%v"%\n%
)%\n%
) ELSE SETLocal ENABLEDelayedExpansion ^& SET argv=
SET "x="
SET "testString=this has a length of 23"
%strlen% x testString
@ECHO strlen result = %x%
SET macro1=FOR %%# IN (1 2) DO IF %%#==2 (%\n%
FOR /F "tokens=1,2" %%a IN ("!argv!") DO (%\n%
