CD %TEMP%

Sub 1. Count down
Switching.bat
Nested.bat
ErLevHEX.bat Returns Errorlevel as HEX.
B-Levels.bat Set Errorlevel / Get Bennylevel.
HEXtoDEC.bat A small hx2dec converter (new version).
Multi.Batch ASCII table. Useful when working in DOS with colors.
CD %TEMP%.
The TEMP environment can simply be set to a drive letter followed by a colon
or a drive specification followed by a colon with one or more directories.
Won't work: CD %temp%\
Work (sometimes): FOR %%v in (: d) do c%%v %temp%\
This solution was hard to find (I used an hour) and it is tested in both old
DOS 6.22 and in Win 98:
IF not (%temp%)==() FOR %%v in (%temp%.\ CD) do %%v %temp%.

Purpose: Repeat something without using third-party file(s).

(a long line meeans fast syntax).
1. "SHIFT" and "FOR %%X in (0 %X%) do SET X=%%X".
2. No Shift and "FOR %%X in (0 %X%) do SET X=%%X".
3. No Shift and "IF (%X%)==() SET X=0" (instead of the above FOR loop).
4. No Shift and without the line (FOR or IF) setting X=0 if X is blank.
2, 3 and 4 requires "CD %TEMP%." and "ECHO SET X=%%%X%> " instead of
"ECHO SET X=%%%X%>>" and
"CALL 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 [filename must be 1.bat]", instead of
"CALL %temp%.\1.bat 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0".
4 requires "I000, I00, I0 and I" are set to zero (or another value),
and that you prefix the exit value with zeros "IF NOT 0009" (instead
of "IF NOT 9").
Running on a RAM drive without antivirus can also speed up the loop.

CHOICE syntax.

Examples:
Input 1 (or 257...) and the ERRORLEVEL would be set to one.
The Exit code (ERRORLEVEL) set is displayed both dec & hex.
To get the ASCII value of a normal character (a character that usual
works in DOS/Batch files), just prefix the input with a lowercase H.
This batch file is 70 lines & 2319 bytes. Please unwrap line num 62.

: Links: [Usenet].
: Notes:
: You can substitute the SET Y=00000000 with ECHO: OOPS!: (no value in Y).
: You can use the: %()% in line number 45 or/and 46 to write your comments
: about the Errorlevel is tested: (0F 1F 2F,4F 5F 6F,8F)/(9F AF,CF DF EF).
: I have add the above comments because: I'm not completly convinced about
: that everyone can see that 9Fh is equivalent (170000 +143) -256n = 159d.
: Hint: Input: 170143 or A0143 (ASCII value of A is 65 and 65 -48 is 17d).
: More notes about how it works shouldn't be necessary, just run the batch
: in your head. I have done a lot about writing it simple as possible, so,
: the file should be worth a closer look: (a tool written to programmers),
: but if you just use it to convert RGB code to hex numbers would be okay.
:-)
Extra:
Modifications:
Adding five lines after line number 31: (Label N):
:N
if not d''%n% ==%t% call echo.
set t= d''%n%
echo...>%temp%.\~.bat
echo exit|%comspec% /k prompt e100' %h%%x%'%t%$_w$_q|debug %temp%.\~.bat>nul
type %temp%.\~.bat
Notice that you can modify the first two lines of the above:
i.e.: substitute the (d) in (d''%n%) with either (a), or (0)
like this:
if not a''%n% ==%t% call echo.
set t= a''%n%
OR:
if not 0''%n% ==%t% call echo.
set t= 0''%n%
About the third line: "ECHO...>%temp%.\~.bat":
The number of dots in "ECHO..." matching the length of data i.e. number of
characters in ' %h%%x%' = 3, (REM. that the RCX register would be 4 byte),
so, the variable named N is only used to determine when ECHO. (in the CALL
ECHO.) should be done.
A compact and alternative one lines, could be written something like this:
:N (d)
echo exit|%comspec%/kprompt e0' %h%%x%'d$_rcx$_4$_w0$_q|debug con>nul
Benny Pedersen,
PS.: You can put the following two lines after line number 1: (@ECHO OFF):
echo exit|%comspec% /k prompt fb800:00 Lfa0 20 2f$_q|debug>nul
echo exit|%comspec% /k prompt fb800:a0 L0a0 20 f8$_q|debug>nul
or use a compact version:
@ECHO OFF
echo exit|%comspec%/kprompt fb800:0Lfa0' /'$_fb800:a0La0' 'f8$_q|debug>nul
TIPS: If you do an exploration of the suggested modifications, then use an
input of a high number such as 255, so, you'll get a better overview
of any differences.
BTW.: Please don't use this one :-)
