I have a question. With my batch program I want to call a powershell program to replace words. I tried it with batch, but in my files are very often exclamation marks and yeah...batch don`t like these. So I take my batch strings and put them into powershell. This works perfectly fine. But I want to repeat this with other words and there is my problem.
set /a loop=0
:inta
set /a loop=%loop%+1
call:DoReplace "%Torsten%" "%Torsten:~0,-1%%loop%" cache\%KlausDieter:~0,-5%%loop%%Rainer% cache1\%KlausDieter:~0,-5%%loop%%Rainer%
exit /b
:DoReplace
echo ^(Get-Content "%3"^) ^| ForEach-Object { $_ -replace %1, %2 } ^| Set-Content %4>Rep.ps1
Powershell.exe -executionpolicy remotesigned -File Rep.ps1
if exist Rep.ps1 del Rep.ps1
GOTO :wer
:wer
set installel=%errorlevel%
if %loop%==%count% goto fall
if %installel%==0 goto inta
:fall
set /a loop=0
:intal
set /a loop=%loop%+1
call:DoReplaceL "%Horst%" "%Horst:~0,-1%%loop%" cache0\%Bruno:~0,-5%%loop%%Rainer% cache1\%Bruno:~0,-5%%loop%%Rainer%
exit /b
:DoReplaceL
echo ^(Get-Content "%3"^) ^| ForEach-Object { $_ -replace %1, %2 } ^| Set-Content %4>Rep.ps1
Powershell.exe -executionpolicy remotesigned -File Rep.ps1
if exist Rep.ps1 del Rep.ps1
GOTO :werl
:werl
set installel=%errorlevel%
if %loop%==%count% goto falll
if %installel%==0 goto intal
:falll
When I call it a second time there come a error with: Argument "Rep.ps1" isnt available. Isnt it possible to do such things?
I am from Germany so sorry for the bad english.
Thank you for your help
Markus
My batch-code for search and replace was this. Maybe you will find a mistake to get rid of problems with exclamation marks:
set /a loop=0
:inta
set /a loop=%loop%+1
SET "quell_datei=cache\%KlausDieter:~0,-5%%loop%.cin"
SET "ziel_datei=cache1\%KlausDieter:~0,-5%%loop%.cin"
SET "suchen_nach=%Torsten%1"
SET "ersetzen_durch=%Torsten%%loop%"
IF NOT DEFINED suchen_nach (ECHO. Fehler: Die Variable suchen_nach nicht definiert^^!&GOTO :eof)
del "%ziel_datei%" >nul 2>&1
FOR /f "tokens=1,* delims=:" %%a IN ('type "%quell_datei%" ^| FINDSTR /n "^"') DO (
CALL :ers "%%b"
)
GOTO :wer
:ers
set "zeile=%~1"
if defined zeile set "zeile=!zeile:%suchen_nach%=%ersetzen_durch%!"
>>"%ziel_datei%" echo.!zeile!
GOTO :eof
:wer
set installel=%errorlevel%
if %loop%==%count% goto fall
if %installel%==0 goto inta
:fall
echo.

Typically, asking the user to supply a file name to a batch script is a messy affair, requiring no misspellings, quotes around paths with spaces, and so forth. Unfortunately, users aren't well-known for accuracy. In situations where input file location is not known until runtime, using a GUI for file selection input reduces the likelihood of user error.
Is there a way to invoke a File... Open style gui file chooser or folder chooser from a Windows batch script?
If the script user has PowerShell or .NET installed, it is possible. See the answer below.
I'm also interested to see what other solutions anyone else can offer.
File Browser
Update 2016.3.20:
Since PowerShell is a native component of pretty much all modern Windows installations nowadays, I'm declaring the C# fallback as no longer necessary. If you still need it for Vista or XP compatibility, I moved it to a new answer. Starting with this edit, I'm rewriting the script as a Batch + PowerShell hybrid and incorporating the ability to perform multi-select. It's profoundly easier to read and to tweak as needed.
<# : chooser.bat
:: launches a File... Open sort of file chooser and outputs choice(s) to the console
:: https://stackoverflow.com/a/15885133/1683264
#echo off
setlocal
for /f "delims=" %%I in ('powershell -noprofile "iex (${%~f0} | out-string)"') do (
echo You chose %%~I
)
goto :EOF
: end Batch portion / begin PowerShell hybrid chimera #>
Add-Type -AssemblyName System.Windows.Forms
$f = new-object Windows.Forms.OpenFileDialog
$f.InitialDirectory = pwd
$f.Filter = "Text Files (*.txt)|*.txt|All Files (*.*)|*.*"
$f.ShowHelp = $true
$f.Multiselect = $true
[void]$f.ShowDialog()
if ($f.Multiselect) { $f.FileNames } else { $f.FileName }
This results in a file chooser dialog.
The result of a selection outputs You chose C:\Users\me\Desktop\tmp.txt to the console. If you want to force single file selection, just change the $f.Multiselect property to $false.
(PowerShell command mercilessly leeched from the Just Tinkering Blog.) See the OpenFileDialog Class documentation for other properties you can set, such as Title and InitialDirectory.
Folder Browser
Update 2015.08.10:
Since there is already a COM method for invoking a folder chooser, it's pretty easy to build a PowerShell one-liner that can open the folder chooser and output the path.
:: fchooser.bat
:: launches a folder chooser and outputs choice to the console
:: https://stackoverflow.com/a/15885133/1683264
#echo off
setlocal
set "psCommand="(new-object -COM 'Shell.Application')^
.BrowseForFolder(0,'Please choose a folder.',0,0).self.path""
for /f "usebackq delims=" %%I in (`powershell %psCommand%`) do set "folder=%%I"
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
echo You chose !folder!
endlocal
In the BrowseForFolder() method, the fourth argument specifies the root of the hierarchy. See ShellSpecialFolderConstants for a list of valid values.
This results in a folder chooser dialog.
The result of a selection outputs You chose C:\Users\me\Desktop to the console.
See the FolderBrowserDialog class documentation for other properties you can set, such as RootFolder. My original .NET System.Windows.Forms PowerShell and C# solutions can be found in revision 4 of this answer if needed, but this COM method is much easier to read and maintain.
This should work from XP upwards and does'nt require an hibrid file, it just runs mshta with a long command line:
#echo off
set dialog="about:<input type=file id=FILE><script>FILE.click();new ActiveXObject
set dialog=%dialog%('Scripting.FileSystemObject').GetStandardStream(1).WriteLine(FILE.value);
set dialog=%dialog%close();resizeTo(0,0);</script>"
for /f "tokens=* delims=" %%p in ('mshta.exe %dialog%') do set "file=%%p"
echo selected file is : "%file%"
pause
Windows Script Host
File Selection
Windows XP had a mysterious UserAccounts.CommonDialog WSH object which allowed VBScript and JScript to launch the file selection prompt. Apparently, that was deemed a security risk and removed in Vista.
Folder Selection
However, the WSH Shell.Application object BrowseForFolder method will still allow the creation of a folder selection dialog. Here's a hybrid batch + JScript example. Save it with a .bat extension.
#if (#a==#b) #end /*
:: fchooser2.bat
:: batch portion
#echo off
setlocal
for /f "delims=" %%I in ('cscript /nologo /e:jscript "%~f0"') do (
echo You chose %%I
)
goto :EOF
:: JScript portion */
var shl = new ActiveXObject("Shell.Application");
var folder = shl.BrowseForFolder(0, "Please choose a folder.", 0, 0x00);
WSH.Echo(folder ? folder.self.path : '');
In the BrowseForFolder() method, the fourth argument specifies the root of the hierarchy. See ShellSpecialFolderConstants for a list of valid values.
A file / folder selection may be done with pure Batch, as shown below. Of course, the feel and look is not as pleasant as a GUI, but it works very well and in my opinion it is easier to use than the GUI version. The selection method is based on CHOICE command, so it would require to download it in the Windows versions that don't include it and slightly modify its parameters. Of course, the code may be easily modified in order to use SET /P instead of CHOICE, but this change would eliminate the very simple and fast selection method that only requires one keypress to navigate and select.

Batch + PowerShell + C# polyglot solution
This is the same solution as the Batch + PowerShell hybrid, but with the C# fallback stuff re-added for XP and Vista compatibility. Multiple file selection has been added at xNightmare67x's request.

For a folder chooser for XP or Vista, use either the WSH solution or npocmaka's HTA solution.
Two more ways.
1.Using a hybrid .bat/hta (must be saved as a bat) script .It can use vbscript or javascript but the example is with javascrtipt.Does not create temp files.Selecting folder is not so easy and will require an external javascript libraries , but selecting file is easy
<!-- : starting html comment
:: FileSelector.bat
#echo off
for /f "tokens=* delims=" %%p in ('mshta.exe "%~f0"') do (
set "file=%%~fp"
)
echo/
if not "%file%" == "" (
echo selected file is : %file%
)
echo/
exit /b
-->
<Title>== FILE SELECTOR==</Title>
<body>
<script language='javascript'>
function pipeFile() {
var file=document.getElementById('file').value;
var fso= new ActiveXObject('Scripting.FileSystemObject').GetStandardStream(1);
close(fso.Write(file));
}
</script>
<input type='file' name='file' size='30'>
</input><hr><button onclick='pipeFile()'>Submit</button>
</body>
1.1 - without submit form proposed by rojo (see comments):
<!-- : starting html comment
:: FileSelector.bat
#echo off
for /f "tokens=* delims=" %%p in ('mshta.exe "%~f0"') do (
set "file=%%~fp"
)
echo/
if not "%file%" == "" (
echo selected file is : "%file%"
)
echo/
exit /b
-->
<Title>== FILE SELECTOR==</Title>
<body>
<script language='javascript'>
function pipeFile() {
var file=document.getElementById('file').value;
var fso= new ActiveXObject('Scripting.FileSystemObject').GetStandardStream(1);
close(fso.Write(file));
}
</script>
<input id='file' type='file' name='file' size='30' onchange='pipeFile()' >
</input>
<hr>
<button onclick='pipeFile()'>Submit</button>
<script>document.getElementById('file').click();</script>
</body>
2.As you already using powershell/net you can create selfcompiled jscript.net hybrid.It will not require temp cs file for compilation and will directly use the built-in jscrript.net compiler.There's no need of powershell too and the code is far more readable:
#if (#X)==(#Y) #end /* JScript comment
#echo off
:: FolderSelectorJS.bat
setlocal
for /f "tokens=* delims=" %%v in ('dir /b /s /a:-d /o:-n "%SystemRoot%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\*jsc.exe"') do (
set "jsc=%%v"
)
if not exist "%~n0.exe" (
"%jsc%" /nologo /out:"%~n0.exe" "%~dpsfnx0"
)
for /f "tokens=* delims=" %%p in ('"%~n0.exe"') do (
set "folder=%%p"
)
if not "%folder%" == "" (
echo selected folder is %folder%
)
endlocal & exit /b %errorlevel%
*/
import System;
import System.Windows.Forms;
var f=new FolderBrowserDialog();
f.SelectedPath=System.Environment.CurrentDirectory;
f.Description="Please choose a folder.";
f.ShowNewFolderButton=true;
if( f.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK ){
Console.Write(f.SelectedPath);
}
I will leave an 'echo' even to verify that multiple choice works in this code
echo off
set cmd=Add-Type -AssemblyName System.Windows.Forms;$f=new-object Windows.Forms.OpenFileDialog;$f.InitialDirectory= [environment]::GetFolderPath('Desktop');$f.Filter='Text Files(*.txt)^|*.txt^|All Files(*.*)^|*.*';$f.Multiselect=$true;[void]$f.ShowDialog();if($f.Multiselect) {$f.FileNames}else{$f.FileName}
set pwshcmd=powershell -noprofile -command "&{%cmd%}"
for /f "tokens=* delims=" %%I in ('%pwshcmd%') do call :sum "%%I" ret
echo =========
echo --%ret%--
pause
exit /B
:sum [mud] [ret]
echo "%~1"
set FileName=%FileName% "%~1"
set ret=%FileName%
exit /B
I has been wrote my own portable solution:
https://github.com/andry81/contools/tree/HEAD/Utilities/src/_gui/wxFileDialog/
You can download executable from here:
https://github.com/andry81/contools/tree/HEAD/Utilities/bin/contools/wxFileDialog.exe
The utility has dependency on wxWidgets 3.1.x, so you can actually build it for other operating systems.
Hoping someone can point me in the right direction. Have a working remote PC info scanning tool that collects computer name, serial number and model. Been trying to get the monitor info added for so time and found this Powershell script and have been trying to get intergraded without success.
Powershell function;
$Monitors = Get-WmiObject WmiMonitorID -Namespace root\wmi
$LogFile = ".\MonInfo.csv"
function Decode {
If ($args[0] -is [System.Array]) {
[System.Text.Encoding]::ASCII.GetString($args[0])
}
Else {
"Not Found"
}
}
ForEach ($Monitor in $Monitors) {
$Manufacturer = Decode $Monitor.ManufacturerName -notmatch 0
$Name = Decode $Monitor.UserFriendlyName -notmatch 0
$Serial = Decode $Monitor.SerialNumberID -notmatch 0
echo $Manufacturer, $Name, $Serial" >> $LogFile
}

I have also tried calling for the .ps1 yet the variables are always empty and the corp network requires Powershell scripts to have sign cert to run by them selves.
Long time ago I wrote the script to get monitor serial number from registry.
It takes only first monitor value. But you can change this script or convert to Powershell. Anyway you can see script logic: get EDID-number, then parse it.
#for /f %%i in ('#wmic path win32_desktopmonitor get pnpdeviceid ^|#find "DISPLAY"') do #set val="HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\%%i\Device Parameters"

Using Windows command line (not powershell), I want to hash all files within the directory and then remove files that match a particular hash set contained within a text file.
I've considered using md5deep, but I'm unsure if the output of matched files can then be redirected into a delete command.
Any help gratefully received, thank you!
To add some detail; the files are in a directory called 'images'
md5deep.exe -r -b -x irrelevant_hashes.txt c:\images
This gives me a list of the files that I need to keep. Is it possible to redirect the output from MD5deep to move the 'good' files to another directory?
For a single md5 key in cmd line it is as easy as:
(Here using the 64bit variant).
set "KillMD5=00112233445566778899aabbccddeeff"
for /f "tokens=1*" %A in ('md5deep64.exe *.* 2^>mul') do #if %A==%KillMD5% #Echo del "%B"
For testing the del command is only echoed.
In a batch file double the % percent signs %%A/%%B
This use pure batch file, take use of CertUtil from windows, so no 3rd software need.
You only need provide the value for 2 variables:
set _nOp=irrelevant_hashes.txt :: file text with md5 data for files to delete
set "_path_gen=c:\images" :: path to files that will be delete.
In additional, put the txt file with md5 (in this code case irrelevant_hashes.txt) in the same folder of the files that you want to delete.
For generate a new md5 from files, and usin certUtil on command line:

I need to add a progressive number of fixed length at the beginning of each row in a txt file. For example:
0001 aaaaaaaaaaa
0002 bbbbbbbbbb
...
0010 gggggggggg
I created a .bat file to run a PowerShell which should solve the problem:
#echo off &setlocal
set "path=C:\Users..."
set "filein=%~1"
set "fileout=%filein%_out"
setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
call %SystemRoot%\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -Command "& {(Get-Content %path%\%filein%.txt) |ForEach-Object {$_.Insert(0,($id++).PadLeft(10,'0'))} |Set-Content %path%\%fileout%.txt}"
But it doesn't work. Probably there's some syntax error.
($id++).PadLeft(10,'0') fails, because ($id++) is of type [int], not [string], and [int] has no .PadLeft() method.
Simply converting ($id++) to a string is enough:
($id++).ToString().PadLeft(10,'0')
Also note that your sample output has a space between the padded number and the content of the line, so you'd have to use:
$_.Insert(0, ($id++).ToString().PadLeft(10,'0') + ' ')
As an aside:
You don't need call in a batch file to call executables (call is only needed for calling other batch files, if you want the call to return).
The PowerShell executable is in the %PATH% by default, so you can invoke it by name only, i.e., powershell.exe.
since you added the [batch-file] tag - here is a pure Batch solution:
#echo off
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
set count=0
(for /f "delims=" %%A in (input.txt) do (
set /a count+=1
set "index=00000!count!"
echo !index:~-4! %%A
))>Output.txt
Something like this might workout for you -
$id = 1
$files = Get-Content "\\PathToYourFile\YourFile.txt"
foreach ($file in $files)
{
$Padded = $id.ToString("0000000000");
$file.Insert(0, ($Padded));
$id++
}
Use the ToString() method, instead of PadLeft to add progressive number of fixed length zeroes. That is much simpler and hassle-free.
Also, doing the entire operation in PowerShell will be much simpler.
You can also do this in a single line like -
$i = 1
Get-Content "\\PathToYourFile\YourFile.txt" | % { $_.Insert(0, ($i.ToString("0000000000"))); $i++ } | Set-Content ".\NewFileout.txt"
Here is a pure batch file solution, which does not ignore empty lines and is safe against all characters, even exclamantion marks (!):
#echo off
setlocal EnableExtensions DisableDelayedExpansion
set /A "IDX=0"
> "output.txt" (
for /F "delims=" %%L in ('findstr /N "^" "input.txt"') do (
set /A "IDX+=0"
set "LINE=%%L"
setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
set "IDX=0000!IDX!"
echo !IDX:~-4! !LINE:*:=!
endlocal
)
)
endlocal
exit /B
Hi for everyone in stackoverflow !
I'm looking for a workaround to how delete this kind of file using a reserved name such :
(nul, aux, com1, prn, etc...)
So, i get as output error :
The syntax of the file name, directory or volume incorrect.
#echo off
echo hello world>\\?\"%temp%\nul:nul"
pause
more<"%temp%\nul:nul"
pause
set /p MyVar=<"\\?\%temp%\nul:nul"
echo %MyVar%
Pause
Del "\\?\%temp%\nul:nul" /F
pause
I'm using this trick to store the password shown like in this code below
so, i can set the password into this file and also, read from it, but i can't delete it.
#echo off

if %3 == 0 (

goto :Eof
) else if %3 == 1 (

This worked for me:
del "\\.\%temp%\nul"
As Microsoft says in
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/120716,
you need to use a syntax which bypasses the check for reserved names.
