windows-scripting

To begin, please excuse my lack of knowledge on windows batch scripting (even the basic). I would like to ask for help on the equivalent of a working Unix script. This is the working script that I have. #!/bin/bash list=`cat view_tags` for i in $list; do cleartool lsview -l -prop -full $i | grep "Last accessed" >& /dev/null if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then echo -n $i echo " " `cleartool lsview -reg ccase_win -l -prop -full $i | grep "Last accessed" | awk '{print $3}'` else echo $i cannot be found fi done The "view tags" file contain: pompei.s1272.hwdig_b12.default dincsori.arisumf.s2637b_dig.default

I am trying to write a powershell script that tests if a MySQL login is successful by using $? to check if an error occurs. I also want to suppress all output - successful or not successful - from the command. These are the things I've tried: mysql -u root --password=mypass -e "show databases" If ( $? ) { echo "Hooray!" } Else { echo "Boo!" } This works correctly but doesn't suppress any output. mysql -u root --password=mypass -e "show databases" > $null Works correctly still but does not suppress the errors if the password is wrong. mysql -u root --password=mypass -e "show databases" 2> $null

I have 2 Locals using delayed expansion. The 1. Local calls a subroutine which includes the 2. Local which defines 2 variables and set the values of those as the parameter values using FOR /F ... . This works fine as long as the string do not include one or more exclamation marks. The following working script shows the issue: @ECHO OFF SETLOCAL ENABLEEXTENSIONS ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION CALL :get_substrings testString substr ECHO Inside 1. local: ECHO !testString! ECHO !substr! EXIT /B 0 ENDLOCAL :get_substrings SETLOCAL ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION SET string="World^! wasserschutzpolizei^!" SET

How to open a prompt dialog box in WSH usig JScript?? The only pop-up dialog I've found in the doc is the WshShell.Popup() method. But I need a way to request the user to enter a string, like the window.prompt() method in DOM. Thanks. I think the WScript object does not provide such a method however you can show an input box from vbscript running on WSH. So here is one possible solution which lets you call that VB function from within JS! Please note the file extension for the following code fragment ".wsf". <!-- Test.wsf --> <job id="InputBoxInJS"> <script language="VBScript"> Function

I tried using ClearScript to load the TypeScript compiler in order to compile some basic TypeScript code. Unfortunately, when executing the TypeScript compiler source I get this error: 'WScript' is undefined This is the LINQPad program I've used, place the ClearScript dll's and the TypeScript compiler file alongside the .linq program: void Main() { using (var js = new Microsoft.ClearScript.Windows.JScriptEngine(Microsoft.ClearScript.Windows.WindowsScriptEngineFlags.DisableSourceManagement)) { var typeScriptSource = File.ReadAllText(Path.Combine(Path.GetDirectoryName(Util.CurrentQueryPath),

Basically I'm trying to do !var1:SomeText=!var2!! but this code doesn't work. What am I missing? dbenham The order of expansion is critical when doing a search and replace operation that uses a variable for the search and/or the replace. The inner variable must be expanded before the outer search and replace expansion takes place. Trying to used delayed expansion for both obviously can't work because the delayed expansion occurs at one point in time. The classic method for expansion of a variable within another variable uses delayed expansion for the outer, and normal for the inner: echo !var1
