Store Ctrl+C Char

[Meerkat]

I saw this topic: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=5860 automating the Bell character. Now, is there a way to store the Ctrl+C character as a variable?

This is EXT character - DEC/HEX/OCT code is 03.

Check GenCHR
or Certutil
or dbenham's forfiles subtoutine:

Code: Select all

(I can put only two links so the last one is in code block)

it is possible also with mshta,WSH/JScript/VBScript,powershell,built-in .net compilers.

Using the same technique - control c is ascii character 3

Code: Select all

@echo off
for /f %%i in ('forfiles /m "%~nx0" /c "cmd /c echo 0x03"') do set "cc=%%i"
>file.txt echo "%cc%"

I tried this:

Code: Select all

@echo off
setlocal

::Define a Linefeed variable
set LF=^


::above 2 blank lines are critical - do not remove.


call :hexprint "0x03" var
set var

exit /b

:hexPrint  string  [rtnVar]
  for /f eol^=^%LF%%LF%^ delims^= %%A in (
    'forfiles /p "%~dp0." /m "%~nx0" /c "cmd /c echo(%~1"'
  ) do if "%~2" neq "" (set %~2=%%A) else echo(%%A
exit /b

...but this is the output:

Code: Select all

var=♥

Code: Select all

var=♥

Yep - That is how the console displays a Ctrl-C (0x03) character

Yeah, that's quite weird. Sorry I thought that "heart" symbol is not the char (I am new into this), but I applied it to my code and it works smoothly!

Thanks everyone!

Depending on your goal, you might find this link useful: Programmatically "press" Ctrl-C / Exit batch inside CALL
