Hi

****** B A T C H R E C U R S I O N exceeds STACK limits ******
Recursion Count=704, Stack Usage=90 percent
****** B A T C H PROCESSING IS A B O R T E D ******


How can increase Recursive Count of the Stack in a batch file?

Please Guide me in this regard.
Thanks in advance

Dave has a good explanation of this over on SO.

You may want to post your batch file.

Hi hacker,

you can't really expand the limit and the limit also depends of the windows version.

But you can change your recursion to an iteration, this will work as batch seems to be able to handle unlimited variables.
And I suppose it should be faster, as CALLs to functions are very slow.

You could post your code, so we are able to look for optimizations.

HI Team,
iam trying to convert the Tab delimited csv file into comma delimited csv file.Iam using the below code to do that.But i am getting the error as Batch recursion exceeds stock limits.

I have created batch file with the below script.

call jrepl "\t" "," /x /f "E:\Eapps\TEST1.csv" /o "E:\Eapps\TEST.csv"

Can anyone please help me here.

It should be as simple as

Code: Select all

@echo off
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion

for /f "delims=" %%A in (test1.csv) do (
	set "tab_line=%%A"
	set "comma_line=!tab_line:	=,!"
	echo !comma_line! >>test.csv
)

Why not use the built in PowerShell CSV functionality:

Code: Select all

Import-Csv 'E:\Eapps\TEST1.csv' -Delimiter `t | Export-Csv 'E:\Eapps\TEST1.csv' -NoTypeInformation

Does this work well? It looks simple and straightforward.

JREPL.BAT alone cannot give you a recursion stack error. Either you have a corrupt version of JREPL.BAT, or the error has nothing to do with JREPL and there is more code that you are not showing.

The JREPL command you have shown should work fine, although the /X option is not needed.
