Assorted NT/2000/XP/.. CMD.EXE Script Tricks
The html version of the tscmd.zip 1cmdfaq.txt file
A description and the index

These pages are an HTML-version of the 1cmdfaq. txt faq-file contained in my tscmd.zip command line interface (CLI) collection. That zipped file has a considerable number of additional .cmd script files. It is recommended that you also get the zipped version as a companion.

The major difference of this html version is that this page was started during the Thu 6-Mar-2008 version 46a with years of hindsight of building up the FAQ items since Fri 28-Nov-2003. A few of the items are therefore slightly differently written, in particular utilizing the illustrative possibilities of the HTML-code.

Description: These pages contain my assorted cmd.exe script tricks for Windows NT/2000/XP/7 and 10 . The items are in no particular order. There is some overlap in some of the items.

Web pages or any other reproduction: These pages are copyrighted ©. No part of this material, nor its index, nor the entire contents may be reproduced (in any language) on any other World Wide Web pages or in any other electronic, physical or similar manner.

Quoting: However, you are free to quote brief passages from this page or to post links to the items in your messages and Usenet news postings provided you clearly indicate the source.

Asking for programming advice: Simply put, no personal support. Requests for programming advice should not be emailed to the author. Such requests are rejected. I can't afford the time and effort of giving free emailed consultation. If you have NT/2000/XP/Vista/Windows7/8/... cmd script questions, related or unrelated, rather post them to the alt.msdos.batch.nt Usenet newsgroup. (Don't forget to define your OS.).

Submitting: Contributions on the net are acknowledged further down on this page. Note, however, that submissions of outside items to this collection are not invited. This basically is my own collection, not an open repository.

Caveats: The scripts in this FAQ have originally been tested on a Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600] Professional Edition, SP2, system (SP3 since September 2008). A number but not all of the scripts have also been tested on 64-bit Windows 7 since 2014 and Windows 10 since 2017. Testing with Windows 11 is pending. There is no guarantee that all the solutions are fully backwards, or forwards, compatible. Where relevant, the date/time format assumed is "31.01.2005 14:12:18". In other words, the order is dd.mm.yyyy, the date separator is ".", the timefields separator is ":" and, in particular, the 24-hour format is assumed. For more on caveats see 1cmdfaq.txt

Disclaimer: The author shall not be liable to the user for any direct, indirect or consequential loss arising from the use of, or inability to use, any information, program, script or file howsoever caused. No warranty is given that the scripts, the programs or the advice given will work under all circumstances. You use everything at your own risk.

An important note to Garbo repository users: The workstation hosting the Garbo repository at the University of Vaasa, Finland has broken down during 2012. The university's Computer Centre has informed me that it will not be replaced. Thus all the potentially remaining direct references to the utilities at Garbo in this FAQ are out of date.

However, tscmd.zip continues to be available, now at a private ISP address. You may freely download it for your own, private purposes. But contrary to some past Garbo exceptional arrangements, I do not give permissions to mirroring, that is carrying my materials for downloading at other locations. (I am retired, fully served, since September 2011. I now say routinely no to all requests.)

Additional utilities: Two very common external auxiliary programs are used in a few of the solution versions presented. It is highly recommended anyway that you obtain the following utilities: (Note, I mostly use the older GAWK and SED versions in the FAQ):

SED.EXE Stream Editor
20368 Oct 1 1991 sed15x.zip
HHSED executable, E.Raymond+D.Kirschbaum+H.Helman
For 32-bit
15495 Oct 28 1998 sed15exe.zip
MS-DOS HHsed, compliant with Windows 32-bit, H.Helman
or
GnuWin32 Sed for Windows
UnxUtils [2] at SourceForge.net
or
44661 Feb 11 2005 ssed362.zip
Super-sed enhanced stream editor, Paolo Bonzini

GAWK.EXE A Pattern Scanning and Processing Language
233923 Mar 25 1995 gawk2156.zip
GNU awk text scanning and processing language
For 32-bit
878915 Oct 25 2003 UnxUpdates.zip (see, however, an availability note [M] [T])
Updates for UnxUtils GNU utilities for native Win32
GnuWin32 Gawk for Windows
UnxUtils [2] at SourceForge.net
(Rename to unxgawk.exe and unxsed.exe for this FAQ, when indicated.)
Be forewarned. If you use a different GAWK (or SED) versions the syntax requirements may slightly differ. See the example in item #6.

A few words about the philosophy of using gawk and sed solutions:

Google Groups Apr 16 2005, 5:00 pm [M]
However, some of these tricks might arise in a multi-user setting where it is best to assume that only the native commands are available. Therefore, the usage of any extra tools is avoided as the only option as much as reasonable.

Visual Basic Script [2] [3] [4] can be used to solve some, if not most of the scripting problems. The same goes for QBASIC [2]. However, not all the items which could have been solved with Basic aided command line scripts include the option. This is above all CMD. EXE scripting FAQ, not a VBS or QBASIC FAQ.

Furthermore, there are a number of utilities of my own and further scripts included in the tscmd.zip package.

Calendar issues: A number of date-related items and routines are involved. Date-related standards and calculations can be quite involved. Therefore, not all the refinements are fulfilled in the strictest sense. To give one example, one item is about the date a certain number of days ago. The effect of a potential daylight saving time ("summertime") shift is ignored. Thus the result might be off by one day near the midnight under special circumstances. Likewise, timezone differences are ignored. A reader requiring more accurate knowledge is referred to seek the web pages for old UseNet news postings by Dr. John Stockton.

Contributors: A FAQ-like collection always is more or less a product of collective knowledge. The initial origins of many of the ideas are often ambiguous and may have been discovered separately by several authors. Thus a collective thanks for the NT/2000/XP/.. scripting community is in order. Furthermore, at least the following individuals (and a number of knowledgeable non-listed posters using aliases) have either directly contributed to or otherwise knowingly or unknowingly influenced the contents of this FAQ in a positive manner:
