Re: Batch Script not Executing filename + Parameters
I don't think there is any easy way to do what you want, echoing out the values will always include a line return/termination. Some options to consider: 1) Capture all the values from the user into variables and construct & run the command. 2) Use the CLIP command to store all the items in the c...

Re: Putting the output of Tasklist into a variable?
Try running
and see if that puts the message into the file, if not it may be using the error stream, so try it with 2>demo.txt
Code: Select all
tasklist /nh /v /fi "WINDOWTITLE eq Untitled - Notepad" 1>demo.txt

Re: Putting the output of Tasklist into a variable?
When I run your code it returns
INFO:
The first token from the FOR command, which is what I'd expect, if you arent getting that, then something else is going on.

Re: Unicode font containing all signs - does it exist?
Catrinity is also a good option

Code2000 always looked kinda ugly to me, I think if the standard English alphabet looks bad, then the foreign language characters are probably even worse.

Re: Westlake tee and other tools
I stopped hosting these last year, because there was almost zero traffic, so I think everyone with an interest in these old utilities has already downloaded them. Also they are showing their age, there are no 64 bit versions and they are unsupported. For now I have put a redirect in place to the geo...

Re: Will all versions of Windows ignore a lone caret on the command line?
If you have a caret at the end of a line, that can have the effect of escaping the CR at the end of the line, which may have undesirable effects depending what is on the next line. It involves writing more code, but I would prefer to test for empty values and then branch to a different subroutine ac...

Re: Read a file, output each line to a new file, preserve all characters?
An approach I have used is to replace all the problem characters with something else, either a character like ~ or ` use a unique phrase "Gr33nTreez"
Then do all your processing and then rename the characters back to what they started as.

Re: "call exit" - Exit batch file from call subroutine
Whether the host shell exits will depend a lot on how you initially call the batch file. If you are running it from the command prompt, it will generally return to that prompt. If you are running it by double clicking or running a shortcut to the batch, that generally starts a new shell which will e...
