Create nul and all ascii characters with only batch

I don't understand. A dual core will return 2 right?

Yes - %NUMBER-OF-PROCESSORS% returns 4 for my machine that has a single quad core CPU

Dave Benham

Thanks Dave, I'm not sure what carlos was driving at.
My point was that single core machines are mostly 14 years old and supporting them seems anachronistic.

The Wiki article shows that Dual cores were introduced way back then.

But the one-core production not stop 14 year ago. I have a turion released in 2006. But there are newer.

You would be one of very few computer enthusiasts who use a single core machine in normal use.

FWIW I have a P4 2.8 GHz 478 pin CPU machine but that is only for backup storage.

More often people use a 15 year old pc because their hardware meets their requirements.

I had another idea to speed up the file creation.
The first time the following batch is executed it is slow as it uses an old version (slightly variated) of the algorithm: You may add the later one instead.
But it also extends the batch file to contain all binary data values (except NUL).

On the second run it loads these precomputed binary data and uses it to create the files (for most except 0x0A, 0x0D) in a (hopefully) faster way (at least on the pcs i've tested it).

This is mainly thought to be used by batch applications that only needs the binary data for internal use, so i declared the (fast) creation of the files as an "example application":

Code: Select all

@echo off
setlocal
call :_loadTable
if defined error (
   echo %error%
   goto :eof
)

I included the simple code here:

This is like spam , but is for you know that the code is also easily available in that url.

Hello All!

I modified the code developed in this thread to store a tab in a variable:

Code: Select all

@echo off & setlocal enableextensions disabledelayedexpansion

type nul >tab.tmp
makecab /d compress=off /d reserveperdatablocksize=0 ^
/d reserveperfoldersize=9 tab.tmp tab.tmp >nul
for /f "skip=28 delims=" %%T in ('find /v "" tab.tmp') do (
set "tab=%%T" & goto break)
:break
del tab.tmp
echo(words%tab%separated%tab%by%tab%tabs

endlocal & exit /b 0

I hope you find this useful.

BFN!

I thought we could already do it with the FORFILES command.

Hi Squashman,

Dave Benham first proposed using forfiles to generate nearly any character, including tab 2 years ago.

As noted at the time, the trouble with forfiles is that it isn’t present on all versions of Windows. Makecab, otoh, is. So my little snippet should work out-of-the-box on XP and above.

Well you basically just regurgitated what I said in that thread.

With the help of this answer viewtopic.php?p=38398#p38398 and this method by Carlos (viewtopic.php?p=14704#p14704 and viewtopic.php?p=4659#p4659) here are two .cmd files that generate binary values.

With the help of this answer viewtopic.php?p=38398#p38398 and this method by Carlos (viewtopic.php?p=14704#p14704 and viewtopic.php?p=4659#p4659) here are two .cmd files that generate binary values.

First creates DEC values (0.chr .... 255.chr) in a _CHRS_ folder (is deleted if it exists).

. . . .

The second one generates HEX values (00.chr .... FF.chr) in the _CHRS_ folder.

. . . .

This mght help (to make .chr files faster).

Excuse me. When I saw examples of this type I am confused, because I can not fathom out what is the purpose of the example. Perhaps is to test other methods in order to prove if they are capable of produce a certain result? If so, then this is a good example, although the original thread have an implicit restriction of not use JScript nor VBS, and your example uses VBS...

If the purpose is to make .chr files in a faster way and VBS is allowed, I think the method below is the simplest one to achieve that goal...

Code: Select all

@echo off
setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion

rem Generate binary values in 0.chr to 255.chr files in DEC_chrs, and 00.chr to FF.chr in HEX_chrs
rem Antonio Perez Ayala

rd /S /Q DEC_chrs HEX_chrs 2> NUL
md DEC_chrs
cd DEC_chrs
echo Dim i,f,fso:Set fso=CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")>chrs.vbs
echo For i=0 To 255:Set f=fso.CreateTextFile(i^&".chr",True):f.Write Chr(i):f.Close:Next>>chrs.vbs
cscript //nologo chrs.vbs
del chrs.vbs
cd ..

md HEX_chrs
copy DEC_chrs HEX_chrs > NUL
cd HEX_chrs
set HEX=0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 A B C D E F
set i=0
for %%a in (%HEX%) do for %%b in (%HEX%) do ren !i!.chr %%a%%b.chr & set /A i+=1
cd ..

dear antonio, your script gives me an error on win xp sp3 uptodate on "141.chr" : "F:\6\DEC_chrs\chrs.vbs(2, 56) Microsoft VBScript runtime error: Invalid procedur
e call or argument"

"141.chr" is zero bytes (instead of 1 byte)

also the content of "140.chr" is 0x4F (expected is 0x8C)

all the other .chr (0 up to 139) are ok

am i missing something?

@catalinnc: Aacini's solution works for me.

@Aacini: I made this .cab version for the following reasons:
- makecab version is slow - using .cab solution makes .chr files very quickly (especially if a user wants to make these .chr files each time they are needed and deleted when they are not needed anymore).
- maybe someone wants to have these .chr files in a .cab file for later usage.
- I personally don't mind using your VBS version because it is fast (and VBS is part of the Windows).

Thanks again Aacini for your suggestions/solutions.
