Batch+ Project

[orange_batch]

Batch has low distributability anyways.

Is that a "no" to making non-.NET versions then? That's all I ask, because I honestly cannot use these as is.

Why?

I can't distribute my scripts being reliant on a non-native resource, especially when .NET is tedious to install and for unnecessary features.

I would also like to see .net independent versions.
Good work nit I had a chance to check things out kudos.

Thanks, but there are no .NET independent versions because I coded them in C#.NET and you can't turn the framework off.

All of them use .NET except COMWRITER because COMWRITER isn't part of Batch+. I wrote that in C++ when I was bored one day.

Ok, thanks for your efforts though nitt.

.NET is tedious to install

...-_-

You just click it and click install and wait. That's it.

for unnecessary features

You know these are very useful features you just like to be a jerk.

Who's being a jerk here, we are all friends.

That guy he's saying these commands are useless when they obviously are extremely useful, just to be mean.

Can someone please suggest more commands?

And also if you want you can comment on COMWRITER, because that was an alternate project. And also make suggestions for that.

[orange_batch]

Unnecessary doesn't mean useless, stop making mountains out of anthills and calling everybody who makes a technical comment a jerk. How many times did I have to ask you about .NET and get smartass responses the entire time?

Unnecessary does mean useless. You are saying it's unneeded and if you don't need something it's practically worthless.
I don't get what you mean by that last sentence, but in the first the saying is "molehill".

[orange_batch]

Commands like COLOR and your CURSOR aren't required in the execution of any batch file. That doesn't make them useless.

And you don't get what I mean? You could have just answered the question instead of asking "why" repeatedly and refusing to consider the suggestion/request.

I didn't make COLOR, that's built in to your computer. CURSOR is really useful. It allows you to hide/show the cursor and change it's position.

I didn't comment on your request because I didn't understand it. Can you please summarize it or something into one sentence? It's confusing to me.

[orange_batch]

I'd just like your CURSOR utility, without requiring .NET.

Hmm... I don't know enough C++ for this. I don't know how to work with the cursor. Maybe when I figure something out I'll get back to you.

[Ed Dyreen]

Maybe ansi is the solution for all who don't support .NET, but I can't be bothered right now.

I'm getting back to this.....

[Cleptography]

.. but I can't be bothered right now.
I'm getting back to this.....

Is the cat hungry again?

[Ed Dyreen]

Yeah good one

[Cleptography]

It's all in good fun.

Does any of the code in these two threads help?

I think specifically this at the bottom of the first link:

Code: Select all

    void SetPos(int x, int y) {
    static HANDLE hOut = GetStdHandle( STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE );
    COORD pos = {x, y};
    SetConsoleCursorPosition( hOut, pos );
    }

Or the code in that second link?...

Code: Select all

#include <iostream.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <windows.h>

void curPos(int, int);

int main()
{
      system("CLS");
      curPos(10,10);
      cout << "10,10" << endl;
      system("PAUSE");
      return 0;
}

void curPos(int x, int y) {
  HANDLE hStdout;
  CONSOLE_SCREEN_BUFFER_INFO csbiInfo;
  hStdout=GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE);
  GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo(hStdout, &csbiInfo);
  csbiInfo.dwCursorPosition.X=x;
  csbiInfo.dwCursorPosition.Y=y;
  SetConsoleCursorPosition(hStdout, csbiInfo.dwCursorPosition);
}
