A good tutorial site for batch programming?

Patio, I used the spell checker I this is what happened.

Powers *censored* is already in Windows 7

That sould have caused you to remember it's all one word....

[Geek-9pm]

I spelled it *censored* one word. The spell checker splatted it.

[Salmon Trout]

Don't tell me that CH censors the word '*censored*'? Is this 2014 or 1714?

It just goes on...

[Geek-9pm]

Let me try something.

Code: [Select]

Microsoft Powershell    <=   two words
Microsoft Powers *censored*    <=  three words

How is that?
That means that if I want t o share a bit of code with anybody here, it has to pass the censor test.
Is there a list of Anglo-saxon words that can not be used?

You can turn censorship on or off in your forum profile. I have mine turned OFF. It's in 'Look and Layout'. You have to check the box for 'Leave words uncensored'.

It is SMF's default censor list, I think. It can be shut off via your profile.

It's probably a good idea. I have heard too many stories of young children becoming serial rapists and murderers because they read swear words online. It's a gateway. One day you're an innocent five year old, next you start hearing curse words and repeating them and by the time you are 8 you're a drug dealer, and by the time you're 11 you've already got a triple-digit body count and have left a trail of destroyed families left wondering why. /s

When my father was doing carpentry, if he hit his thumb with the hammer, he would shout '*censored*!' at the top of his voice. This was before the internet or even colour TV.

In has to be installed in Windows XP

XP has around 40 days left before any exploits will not be patched.

It was a good OS but is 12 years old now and there are improvements in Win 7 and 8 which are beneficial, and they are both stable and good OS's, like XP was.

Based on this...and previous posts over the last year or so i'm convinced you do this as a form of self-amusement...

We are going a bit off topic here...

Prof Timo Salmi has a collection of batch scripts and tips that you can read on his site, or download the ZIP files to look at, if you want to learn that way.
Search alt.msdos.batch.nt on google groups for his regular FAQ postings.

If you want to read and follow forums, then there are several.

Getting premade scripts and modifying them, then debugging the failures is a good way to pick up tips and techniques.
Asking questions on the forums will get you answers, if you supply factual details.

AFAIK there are no good tutorials for modern NT scripting and that's because so much of batch scripting is undocumented techniques, tips, and limitations, discovered by so many people.

Exactly!
