If you just have a small number of files, you can do what Simon_Weel suggests and hard code the filenames: dir newdoc2023.docx /s /b >result.txt dir document_34.docx /s /b >>result.txt etc If you have a lot of files then you will want to automate reading the filenames in a loop: @echo off for /f %%G...

Thanks for this npocmaka , Windows subsystems for linux is a bit of a surprise, a few years ago it looked like they were just going to drop that.

Hi Jeb, welcome to the forum :D You raise a good point, its probably better to not echo the original input string at all, thats just asking for trouble. I think it is always going to be necessary to filter out a couple of the more obvious poison characters and then use the function to remove everyth...

Heres a function that can be fed a string and will strip out all characters not in a pre-defined list. Intended to be used with any user-supplied data, i.e. SET /P @ECHO OFF Setlocal :: Name: Michael Wright/Simon Sheppard :: Date: 2023-05-05 :: Desc: sanitize function :: Sanitize an input string omi...

Using extra characters is not about nesting, but about having the option to use more than 26 TOKENS, so for example you might want to parse some data out of a CSV file with more than 26 columns. Each FOR command instantiates a new instance in memory which inherits all the variables of the parent pro...

Nice solution

Most of these settings can be found in the registry e.g. HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\PrecisionTouchPad 32-Bit DWORD value AAPThreshold . 0 = Most sensitive 1 = High sensitivity 2 = Medium sensitivity (default) 3 = Low sensitivity So first I would look at that in reged...

SED is a stream editor intended to modify a files contents rather than extracting values from it. if you want to use bash utilities, I would start by using head and tail to extract just line 35. Then when you have that single line, use grep to extract the part you need. If you want to do this in nat...

There isn't quite enough info in your question to give much advice, it really depends how you have structured all the file shares.

If you turn on Access-based Enumeration then you can just map one level and the sub folders will automatically appear if the user has permission to them.

Hello Hello There Is exactly what i would expect to get because you are not using delayed expansion, so everything within the brackets is treated like a single line as far as variable expansion goes. You can SET variables, but reading them will get the value as evaluated at the start of the code bl...
