The "_" Windows Batch Library - now on github

[Erik Bachmann]

You're right! debug.exe is not installed as default on 64 bit. Removing cEcho.exe

[Squashman]

You really have assumed a lot with the way your library works. I have never seen this type of syntax to make a BATCH file and VBscript into one file.

The output from the unzip help confuses me.

I guess you forgot to uncomment the @ECHO OFF

The %$DESCRIPTION% variable is outputting incorrectly.

I have no idea what you are doing with all the TEXT inside the curly braces. Did you mean to substitute that with the actual value?
Are we supposed to assume you mean > and %

I've took a look to the zip.cmd .

I don't think setting timeout is the best idea.
As it uses the explorer.exe in case of error there will be pop-up with title "Compressed (zipped) Folders Error" (though its possible to be translated in non english version and IDK how the get the correct value in this case) so I prefer to to use shell.AppActivate("Compressed (zipped) Folders Error") on every iteration during file counting and in case there's such pop-up to exit. It's not completely bulletproof but will in far more cases and will exit right in the moment when error appear.
(The only case when the timeout is preferable is if the script is used in non-ui session e.g. with PSExec)

Also Scripting.FileSystemObject.CreateTextFile can fail if the windows system uses different than English language . I've used adodbstreams that will not depend on the locale.

Not exactly. I've made a mistake at the top of the header but the header clearly states:

REPL.BAT was written by Dave Benham

You're right about this version being outdated. Sorry - I've updated to JREPL.bat right away.
Thank you for bringing this to my attention. And Dave - I apologize

You still have an old version of JREPL.bat in your library and you also BROKE the HELP function in it!

[Squashman]

It's a library with mutual dependencies. unzip.bat requires _debug.cmd and _GetOpt.cmd.

Runs just fine without them.

It's a library with mutual dependencies. unzip.bat requires _debug.cmd and _GetOpt.cmd.

Runs just fine without them.

I'm getting
_DEBUG is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
_Getopt is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
if I don't have them.

Comment out the two call statements or just remove those two lines. They are NOT REQUIRED for the unzip code to execute.
