anic17•9/21/22, 7:31 PM

you can write spaces to a specific position

anic17•9/21/22, 7:31 PM

but it's very slow and unefficient

@<Tim> what about releasing v1.2 with the compiled executable in the release?

A

anic17•9/21/22, 7:33 PM

Well if it's the current line there's a hack that uses the CR character to go to the beginning of the current line

anic17•9/21/22, 7:34 PM

for /f %%A in ('copy /Z "%~dpf0" nul') do set "CR=%%A"
<nul set /p "=Loading (!load!)"

for /f %%A in ('copy /Z "%~dpf0" nul') do set "CR=%%A"
<nul set /p "=Loading (!load!)"

for /f %%A in ('copy /Z "%~dpf0" nul') do set "CR=%%A"
<nul set /p "=Loading (!load!)"

for /f %%A in ('copy /Z "%~dpf0" nul') do set "CR=%%A"
<nul set /p "=Loading (!load!)"

Tturtlenator What does /a mean

E

Einar145OP•9/25/22, 3:10 PM

it can mean different things for different commands.

/a

/a

/a

/a is an option. you are probably talking about the use of /a with the set command.
in this case, it is used to specify that the variable is set to a

"numerical expression that is evaluated"

"numerical expression that is evaluated"

"numerical expression that is evaluated"

"numerical expression that is evaluated"

E

Einar145OP•9/25/22, 3:11 PM

so it just means it sets it as a number

E

Einar145OP•9/25/22, 3:12 PM

SET /A abc=5

SET /A abc=5

SET /A abc=5

SET /A abc=5

Groophy•9/25/22, 3:49 PM

set

/p

/p

/p

/p and

/a

/a

/a

/a,
/p for read console inputs
/a for numeric expression like einar said.

ZZWOX can i set a variable like this? if variable == 1 set variable2 = 89

T

Teoman•9/27/22, 7:20 AM

Yes.

if %variable% == 1 set variable2=89

if %variable% == 1 set variable2=89

if %variable% == 1 set variable2=89

if %variable% == 1 set variable2=89

But make sure do not use spaces while setting variables.

set a = 1

echo %a% [Not work!!!]
echo %a % [Output is going to be" 1"]

set a = 1

echo %a% [Not work!!!]
echo %a % [Output is going to be" 1"]

set a = 1

echo %a% [Not work!!!]
echo %a % [Output is going to be" 1"]

set a = 1

echo %a% [Not work!!!]
echo %a % [Output is going to be" 1"]

Cause of command going to include Whitespaces while setting variable's name and value.

Does anyone know how I can search for a piece text in multiple files within multiple sub directories.

Dumb Bird•9/28/22, 5:45 AM

It'd save me a ton of time lol

Sspec Yes

Dumb Bird•9/28/22, 5:49 AM

Would you mind throwing it together for me? I'm not great with Batch. I'm primarily a Linux user. For my current project I need to use Windows though. If you don't have the time I'll just write something simple in Python for the task

Sspec I'd have to write a code

Dumb Bird•9/28/22, 5:57 AM

Actually don't worry bout it. Just relised Visual Studio Code has a feature for this exact thing. Sorry for wasting your time

Call it with

<scriptname> "directory"

<scriptname> "directory"

<scriptname> "directory"

<scriptname> "directory"

you could use a carriage return character `'\r'`
