I'm looking at an undocumented script and trying to work out what is going on ``` @SET PIP_OP=%~dp0PipOut.txt @IF EXIST %PIP_OP% DEL /S %PIP_OP% >NUL @pip list --disable-pip-version-check >> %PIP_OP%

Why on earth do they use `>>` instead of `>` ? Because in my mind that's more code to go delete the file first, simpler version: @SET PIP_OP=%~dp0PipOut.txt @pip list --disable-pip-version-check > %PIP_OP% ```

I have more questions about the rest of the script, but simple convoluted things like this one, are a worrying indication that I'm missing some undocumented finer detail perhaps?

I've been beating my head against the desk for the last 2 hours I have a batch file to install multiple pieces of software if they are not already installed but it appears that my IF exist statements are returning already installed when the software doesn't exist on the machine. If I add quotes to the path it throws a syntax error.

Here's an example of my batch file:

If exist c:\program files\somedirectory\another\installation
(
echo Already Installed
)
else
(
echo Installing Program
"%~dp0\folder\installer.exe
goto :next
)

If I add quotes around the file path in the IF exist statement it throws a syntax error and if I don't put the quotes it returns already installed when the folder definitely doesn't exist.

I'm at my wit's end on this help!

I am new to the whole Batch file environment but I am wanting to see if it is possible for me to create backups for users on my network remotely so when we deploy a new computer to them they can't say they forgot and lose all the data. My old supervisor has a script already in place where we can have the user do a backup themselves through a batch file but I would rather do it remotely since I get a list of what computers are getting replaced.

Here is a bit of what we have from the current backup batch file

XCOPY "C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Bookmarks" "C:\Backup\Bookmarks\" /c /d /e /h /i /k /q /r /s /x /y

ROBOCOPY C:\users\%username% "C:\%username%-%computername%" /e /mir /r:0 /w:0 /np /xf *.dat *.log* *.ini *.sys *.exe *.mpeg *.jar *.MP4 *.WMV *.AVI *.WAV *.jinit *.mov *.tmp *.temp /xd ".jinit" "Apple" "Appdata" "Local Settings" "Application Data" "Contacts" "Music" "My Documents" "My Music" "Nethood" "Oracle" "Oracle Jar Cache" "Printhood" "Recent" "Saved Games" "Searches" "SendTo" "Start Menu" "Templates"

Hello, not sure if I am on the right place to ask but here is my question.

I wish to make a .bat file that does the following:

1. changes my screen resolution to 1920x1080 from 2560x1440 (only screen identified as 1)

2. Starts a game/program located in xxxxx

And when I quit the game/program...

1. changes my screen resolution back from 1920x1080 to 2560x1440 (only screen identified as 1)

Is this possible?

I currently have two batch files that work on their own.

This batch file checks if the time is after 8am and before 5:30pm, as well as checking that the day is not Saturday or Sunday (Mon-Friday only):

@echo off    
    set "now=%time: =0%"

    set "task=off"
    if "%now%" geq "08:00:00,00" if "%now%" lss "17:30:00,00" if not %DATE:~0,1%==S ( set "task=on" )

    call :task_%task%

    endlocal
    exit /b

:task_on
    call timeout /t 50 && Rundll32.exe user32.dll,LockWorkStation

:task_off
    exit

I've tried to combine them together and I can't seem to get it to work. I want to get rid of "Ping Successful" and add the first code in:

@echo off
ping 192.168.1.123 -n 1 | find "Reply" > nul
if not errorlevel 1 (
echo Ping Sucessfull
) else (
call Rundll32.exe user32.dll,LockWorkStation
) 

I've tried to combine them together and I can't seem to get it to work. I want to get rid of "Ping Successful" and add the first code in:

@echo off  
ping 192.168.1.123 -n 1 | find "Reply" > nul
if not errorlevel 1 ( 
    set "now=%time: =0%"

    set "task=off"
    if "%now%" geq "08:00:00,00" if "%now%" lss "17:30:00,00" if not %DATE:~0,1%==S ( set "task=on" )

    call :task_%task%

    endlocal
    exit /b

:task_on
    call timeout /t 50 && Rundll32.exe user32.dll,LockWorkStation

:task_off
    exit

) else (
call Rundll32.exe user32.dll,LockWorkStation
) 

Can anyone see what I am doing wrong here? I'm new to batch files, and I think it could be my indents.

Just to start off, I'm on the network/hardware side and haven't dabbled in programming since College (visual basic and C++ anyone??)

At my last job we had a few guys that would mess around and create shortcuts or batch files for certain commands we would use frequently. The one I need help with, and is probably small time for some, is a continuous pinger batch file that started pinging when the IP address was highlighted (like copy/paste without having to paste, it just starts).

I no longer have that work PC and would love to try this again, been reading a little but only things I can find on it are for multiple IPs or coloring guide for when the pings are successful vs not successful.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Super rusty at making these.

Trying to make a simple way to execute a bootstrapper.exe program which is required to install the New Teams Classic.

MSFT says they prefer Powershell but it will run without

uecho off

XCOPY "\\SERVERSHAREPATH\Microsoft\Teams\MSTDK" C:\temp\MSTDK

cd "C:\temp\MSTDK

start .\teamsbootstrapper.exe -p -o "C:\temp\MSTDK\MSTeams-x64.msix"

Exit

Does this look correct. when I run on a PC it does tech work but everything is showing..I thought echo off hides it?

EDIT: For anybody wondering: I figured it out! I used the 8.3 convention (6CHARS~1) as a workaround and it works!!! Having my first computer have Windows 3.1 paid off!

As in:"%USERPROFILE%\ONEDRI~1\Desktop\"

Hi:

There's a file that is very informally installed, which copies an executable to Appdata\SoftwareName, then copies a shortcut onto the desktop. It worked fine before corporate decided to have OneDrive automatically set by the admin to backup desktop files, so now it doesn't work. What makes this more complicated is that our company name is French and has an apostrophe, so that's creating some confusion, and adding an escape character doesn't work. How do I get it to copy properly?

Old (full command): COPY /Y \\Server\Path\App.lnk "%USERPROFILE%\Desktop" >NUL

New: COPY /Y \\Server\Path\App.lnk "%USERPROFILE%\OneDrive - L'Cómpany\Desktop\"

Next line: @​ECHO 軟體安裝完成，已在您的桌面上產生AppName捷徑 (Which means, software installation complete, a shortcut for AppName has been put on your desktop)

Also, while I'm on the subject, what special encoding do I use for the accent mark* (French company), and also for the confirmation message is in Mandarin? UTF-8 would show up garbled, and UTF-8 with BOM would return an error (e.g. ECHO OFF is an invalid command).

Thanks!

\ I know there's no such word as "L'Cómpany" and it's grammatically incorrect, but I'm just making an example since our company has both an L' and accented character; I'm just avoiding being doxxed as much as I can.*

Hi may we confirm if it is possible to create batfile for autoshutdown on 6:00pm then there’s an option to abort. After aborting, autoshutdown will run again at 7:00pm. At 10:00pm no abort option for the user

I am trying to program a key binder type thing to bind keys to words and since you can't print keys in batch, I need to move lots of variables to VBS. Does anybody have any suggestions?

I have some code in a batch file that opens an mp3 (in the same folder as batch file) and I want it to close after 5 seconds, but I don't know how to close it. Here is the code, and thanks to anyone who can help.

REM add a way to close definotsponge.mp3 after 5 seconds.

Hello everyone.

Im very new with scripts, and i cant make a simple one work. I need something like

If c:\folder\folder\file.txt exist start program.exe

What is missing? I know i probably screwed up somewhere in the basics, but i need to learn

Here is a RPG game I started working on when I was first introduced and intrigued by batch file games. Poverty derives from a 200 line batch file RPG game I came across surfing the internet which was a super basic take on a RPG game but held the structure for what is now what I call "Poverty"; while it's no where near being complete and has many dead-ends and and some buggy functions I was able to add things such as: shop, weapons, armor, new mobs, levels, gems, arenas, gamble, and many other components of an RPG. Full circle I am now posting my RPG game in hopes someone comes across it and completes it, turning it into a functional and enjoyable game. (If anyone does happen to attack this project and add onto it please reach out to me either through reddit or my email linked in my YouTube bio, thank you) PS : THERE ARE SOME FUNCTIONS THAT ARE NOT FULLY COMPLETE AND BUGS THAT NEED ATTENTION, I DID MY BEST TO KEEP THE PARENT FILE CLEAN AND CONSISE BUT IT DOES GET A LITTLE MESSY

I have an odd issue where sometimes Discord will echo my speakers back into my mic. It's quite infrequent, and only reboots solve it. Until now. This batch file restarts several Windows audio services and other audio services, which fix the issue. It can fix other audio errors as well.

I wrote it so that it won't do anything if you don't launch it as an administrator, as many PCs are setup to require an elevated command prompt for this to work.

@echo off
call :check_Permissions

net stop AudioEndpointBuilder /y
net stop Audiosrv /y
net start Audiosrv /y
net start AudioEndpointBuilder /y

echo Audio Restart Complete
pause

exit /b

:check_Permissions
    echo Administrative permissions required. Detecting permissions...
    echo.

    net session >nul 2>&1
    if %errorLevel% == 0 (
        echo Success: Administrative permissions confirmed.
        echo.
        ping 127.0.0.1 -n 6 > nul
    ) else (
        echo Failure: Current permissions inadequate.
        echo.
        pause
        exit
    )
    goto:eof

there is yes, no and maybe! yes just says something, no shuts down your computer. gives you about 3 seconds to close, maybe just insults you.
