Notice I didn't try to incorporate the snippet into your code. I was afraid the whole thing would fall apart.
Your right, it fell apart ... I guess I have never run into trying to do something in a FOR loop before.
... I guess I confused how to continue then. I guess the whole effort is just make the display on the screen more in line, as the numbers get small they start to get out of line and I no longer have pretty columns ... Love the bit of code
<nul call set /p z= !count!
much better then echo
My problem is by calling a routine I end up getting it to work again, but get a message that echos 'The system cannot find the batch label specified -'
This bit of code was purely to make the display nicer ...
if %len% EQU 1 set count=00%count%
if %len% EQU 2 set count=0%count%
How did a seemingly simple copy operation turn into such a Rube Goldberg contraption? Batch code is NOT a programming language.
Your right it isn't a batch language, but i'm amazed everyday I learn something new that it can do
, thanks for all your help.
