Re: CMD Prompt: Copying to Clipboard Adds Trailing Space

I think what is happening here is that the carriage return/newline are converted into a space If we try this (for %a in (red green blue) do @(echo %a)) | find "e">demo.txt it adds those spaces, the same as clip - so the problem is in the pipe not in the clip utility. In PowerShell: PS C:\>...

Keyboard shortcuts to navigate SS64.com

The A-Z index pages now have keyboard shortcuts from [a] to [z] to quickly scroll up / down. The detail pages have [s] for Syntax and [e] to jump to Examples, [a] will go to the top of the page.

Thanks for the heads up! That robocopy script failed for me on the latest Windows 10, but this version looks promising @echo off for /f "tokens=1-6 delims=/: " %%a in ('robocopy "|" . /njh ^| find ":"') do ( set "_year=%%a" & set "_month=%%b" &am...

Re: stampme.cmd anyway to make it use 2 digit month and day and am/pm

WMIC has now been deprecated, it does still work for now but who knows how much longer it may last.

So I have re-written the StampMe example page so that it now uses Robocopy, based on npocmaka's script on StackOverflow.

Re: Using the Windows port of SED?

The GnuWin32 version of sed only supports double quotes, because thats all the CMD shell understands.

Code: Select all

sed "s/test/text/" test.txt
An alternative would be to run Cygwin, which is more like a Unix shell so I think it gives you more quoting options.

Re: CMD Random

When you divide %RANDOM% by 32768 you will get a random number between 0 and almost 1 (0.999969) notice we are dividing by 327 68 rather than 32767, so we should never get 1 which would give us an uneven distribution of numbers. if you multiply that by 6 you will get a random number between 0 and 5....

Re: Comments by first time visitor man (date)

I'm not sure adding a date would really help much with this, there are so many differences across different distributions the only way to be sure is to run the man command and compare the options for yourself.
