small batch program's I find and make enjoy from DeltaSpider

[Neil]

The irony in your reply is self-evident.

[DeltaSpider]

Yeah I figured that much out ,but had to do it anyway!

Wasn't tring to be a smart a$$ or anything Neil -just going on with the Batch stuff.
If you have anything to add- it's welcomed by all..even I! ok

I'm sure you have some search link's in the UK that I don't have access to
that have some pretty good batch stuff!
Maybe even something that you wrote yourself !

 How about this: Create a menu allowing users to pick any of those utilities from that menu. YouŽll need to know SET /P to do that.

How about  choice.com ?

CHOICE doesn't allow for string input, making its use limited.

[DeltaSpider]

Any input on how I could use this to clean up my code..

Short cut's are alway's welcome.

I have been altering some of my batch program's but haven't finished
what i'm tring to get them to do yet !

About to download them here and see if anyone has any pointer's for me.

[DeltaSpider]

Here is some of the stuff cleaned up some!

Never got the chance with the SET /P command yet!

So let me know if anyone can add or help me out here on what im tring for.

As in a free form response?     If so,  then yes.

But in this example, as I understood it,  there is a fixed set of responses to choose from,  thus choice would work fine.


Oh well ....   at least he has a choice  of methods.   {nyuk, nyuk, nyuk}
 

[ghostdog74]

How about  choice.com ?

don't think choice.com is in newer win32 distribution. got to download from somewhere else i think

Really?     If I'd ever learned that before,  I'd forgotten.
Thanks.


Are you using WinXP now?      can you do a all-over search and tell us if choice.com is found?


And -  is it even downloadable?      Legit, I mean.

here's some info
and no, its not in XP.

[WillyW]

here's some info

Excellent!      I haven't read much of that yet, but what it is, is obvious.
Thanks.

I wonder if the admins here would like to add a link to that to
http://www.computerhope.com/choicehl.htm   ?

and no, its not in XP.

Thanks.       And now that I had a quick look at the above referenced link,  the answer was right there all along.   

Thanks again.

oK HERE IS SOMETHING I WAS WORKING ON YESTERDAY ALITTLE

THIS IS SOME USEAGE OF THE SET /P COMMAND EVERYONE WAS
TALKING ABOUT I COPIED THE INFO FROM COMPUTER HOPE'S DOS
OR BATCH SECTION FORGET WHICH ONE.....

But as for the XP choice.com it's not on my system but,"I do have it"!

Now I like the useage of "SET /P" BETTER !

Download this and see how it look's  and work's for everyone !

Haven't finished it yet, "maybe later today"!

Hey  check out the Batch Conversion download's here at computerhope.com

That "autorunpro.exe" is very useful for making your own "setup.exe autorun from disk" file .....

Anyone know more on how to use it with more batch file command's
and such ?

I tried this today but the "Run3=WINHACKXP.BAT" line did not activate!

Just the first two line's worked!!

I was running the "autorunPro.exe" from inside of a folder in "MyDocument's" testing it that could have been part of the problem
since it's suppose to be an autorun for a "DISK" in drive D,E,F or one of the.

Don't know if it mattered  or not but the first line's activated their why wouldn't the batch program......WHAT AM I FORGETING ??

[Autorun]
open=AutoRunPro.exe /s

[AutorunPro]
Run1=spiderman.gif
Run2="mailto:[email protected]?subject=Have a tip for you"
Run3=WINHACKXP.BAT

[Dilbert]

I did not know that CHOICE was not on an XP install... no wonder that part of the DOS tutorial failed three years ago.

I love SET /P for writing batch. I haven't used batch in so long, but it's relatively easy to get input and test on it:

Code: [Select]

:CHOICE
SET /P input = "Enter any string>"

IF /I "%input"=="StringOne" GOTO StringOne
REM Etc... etc...
I'm pretty sure I've made a syntactical error (like I said, it's been a while), but you get the idea.

[DeltaSpider]

I have noticed that alot of command's seem to vary in syntax and useage
from one computer manufactor to the next!

Some time's you have to download a fix or file to help make that command
useable in a batch program !

But.....when you make a .com or .exe file with "bat2exe" some of the
command's don't work correctly or echo's showup even with the
"@echo off" line in the beginning....still working on that one myself!

Yeah Dilbert that set /p stuff was better for me also.....look's less confusing

[DeltaSpider]

I found some of  the other stuff that everyone and been writing about
batch file's and been triing to put them in order to see what I could come up with in batch!

So if anyone see's some part of code they have posted at one  time ..........don't
think that im triing to still your glory or something.....just look at it as you
have contributed to a quest of knowledge in batch programming.

Maybe together we will cover all question's to be asked on this subject
of batch so I and everyone else can move onto other language's to do
the same with them...

I myself have lot's of question's on stuff like how to moniter port's with
batch ...like when you install a program ...and want to see where all it
send's file's and stuff or register's DLL file's......

Basic software monitoring of the system type of stuff I guess it would be!

But anyway after this I need to learn more on ASM language and
how to workit with DOS debug command's....

Then tie into some C or C++ with ASM Lang. incorperated.......tried it one
time but it did not work the way it was suppose to and after several attemps I said later for that project when I learn some other stuff at a
lower level like DOS and BATCH !!!!!!!!!

[Dilbert]

Technically, DOS batch files aren't programming languages; they're interpreted languages.

[DeltaSpider]

Technically, DOS batch files aren't programming languages; they're interpreted languages.

Is this meaning that they are interpreted by the BIOS ,CMOS or something else........remember Dilbert I haven't been into this stuff until 3 year's ago!

And triing to understand quickly how it all work's together !

Here are some other thing's from today I was working on..checkit out!
