In Windows, if you have a command line executable with the same name as your bat filename, and the batch file contains this command, the batch file keeps looping since Windows will execute that .bat file instead of the Windows command. Example: Create the file net.bat on your desktop. In your file, write this text: … Read more
Python import os path=”/path/to/files/” for filename in os.listdir(path): prefix, num = filename[:-4].split(‘_’) num = num.zfill(4) new_filename = prefix + “_” + num + “.png” os.rename(os.path.join(path, filename), os.path.join(path, new_filename)) you could compile a list of valid filenames assuming that all files that start with “output_” and end with “.png” are valid files: l = [(x, “output” … Read more
In batch, the > is a redirection sign used to output data into a text file. The compare op’s available (And recommended) for cmd are below (quoted from the if /? help): where compare-op may be one of: EQU – equal NEQ – not equal LSS – less than LEQ – less than or equal … Read more
cmd.exe /c ‘\my-app\my-file.bat’
Try something like this: SET MY_PATH=C:\Folder with a space “%MY_PATH%\MyProgram.exe” /switch1 /switch2
curl -K myconfig.txt -o output.txt Writes the first output received in the file you specify (overwrites if an old one exists). curl -K myconfig.txt >> output.txt Appends all output you receive to the specified file. Note: The -K is optional.

When I tried to call it on another folder, however, it simply crashed. I tried the second one (jscript/FileTimeFilterJs.bat), but it did not successfully delete all files older than one hour. … Read more
I think, an unknown list of [DESC] strings in all the backup file names is most difficult to handle in batch file. The code could be very simple on knowing this list as it can be seen below, or at least on knowing if those strings do not contain characters being critical on batch file … Read more
Magoo identified the source of the problem – the conversion of WMIC unicode output to ANSI is flawed in that each line ends with CRCRLF instead of the normal CRLF. FOR /F breaks at (and strips) each LF, leaving CRCR. FOR /F strips the last character from each line if and only if it happens … Read more
set PTag=^<BR^> sets the value <BR> to PTag When you run echo %PTag% it expands to echo <BR> which is an invalid redirection. You need to escape the < and > inside PTag by using this set PTag=^^^<BR^^^> The first ^ escapes itself, then the next one escapes < or > You can also use … Read more
