EchoAnsi
Here is an alternate version of the EchoAnsi script available here: https://ss64.com/nt/syntax-ansi.html This version uses 3 nested loops to repeat every valid colour combination The forum swallows Esc characters, so to make this work you will need to replace the 3 escape characters on the second la...

Re: Password generator
I'm sure it wouldn't be too hard to save the page and add a couple of Mid$ functions to the JavaScript to do that. There are however some reasons to avoid having fixed place-holders in a password. Firstly, should one of your passwords ever be involved in a data breach, then those dashes could act as...

Re: Get a sorted list of the files in Windows OneDrive.
You can get to the OneDrive synchronisation folder from the %OneDrive% variable
So
or you can use Robocopy List:
This assumes all the files have been synced.
So
Code: Select all
dir /s %OneDrive%
Code: Select all
robocopy %OneDrive% c:\null /l /njh /njs

Re: Help with Robocopy script to move *EXTRA files and directories
The problem with the approach you are describing is that I don't think it will result in a complete backup. You are focussing on preserving copies of renamed or deleted files but there are lots of other situations when you may need an older copy of a file. e.g. if you edit a file and in the process ...

Re: Puzzled by Delims
instead of tokens=*
you need to use tokens=2
Otherwise you will break up the string into 2 parts and the * will just return both of them anyway.

Re: Is there any universal way to redirect file operations to nul?
My first thought would be to create a RAM Disk and direct all writes to that, they are very fast and will be automatically wiped at next reboot, so perfect for temporary storage. Writing to RAM avoids having a lot of read/writes to your SSD but at the cost of using some RAM. In Windows 11 you will n...

Floating Point Numbers in batch
First off let me prefix this by saying the easy and robust way to work with Floating point Numbers, is just passing them to PowerShell: powershell.exe 12.9999999 + 2105001.01 But if you really want to do this in batch: @Echo off :: Floating point Numbers to add :: These must contain a decimal point ...

Re: Inserting PS1 to Tray notification area of Windows for its execution purposes
To use the system tray, I think you will need some kind of utility like activetray.com
You can of course drag a .cmd or .ps1 file on top of the PowerShell icon on the taskbar and PIN it.
Assuming you already have PowerShell.exe pinned, then just right click to select & run the pinned script.
