My apologies Rex. Your advice is correct. I found another program changed the file associations the previous day. I am very happy with being able to run the PS scripts without opening PS but I forgot the activity the previous day. Memory starting to decay (mine).

I have just started using Powershell mainly because I need the ability to change affinity in a running program. Everything is set up correctly with a simple profile in MyDocuments/WindowsPowershell and I have used Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned. I have scripts in a separate folder in...

All sorted out thanks. Just love Take Command more than ever now with all this color. It really makes working with XXCOPY so much nicer.

Must add a correction here. I found out how to change the color of the TCMD window. Options -> Configure Take Command -> Tabs -> Then adjust colors in Windows panel on right hand side.

I have never bothered with different colors in TCMD/TCC (or 4NT) but after installing XXCOPY I just loved the default colors in the XXConsole, gold text on cyan, actually a dark cyan (0,64,64). So I checked out the manual and searched the forum and think I'm a full bottle on the color...

Sorry Vince, I messed my script up by inappropriate use of ECHO. Your solution is the ants pants and thanks for your help. Bazza

Thanks Vince. That looks more like what's needed. Took me all day to find the latest version or 4utils plugin but your example works. However if I change it to read my string: echo %@xreplace["[ \t]*",^c,%bb] I get error 'Parameter incorrect'

Appreciate any help with getting @REGEX to work with @REPLACE. I have a large file and I want to convert all whitespace to commas I can use set bb=%@replace[^ ,^,,%bb] gets rid of the biggest problem but there are lots of other spaces so I need to integrate regex with a...

I think I understand. So I copied the btm file into C:/perl/bin folder and now it works from that location but is that a bug? I expected TCC to support perl regardless of path to the required dll which is obviously going to be in the perl folder. At least it all works now. Thanks for your help...

In C:\Perl\bin folder.

Yes Rex, just checked it again to be sure.

I have this perl script (hello.pl) print "Hello from ActivePerl!\n"; If I call it in TCC it runs OK but if I try to use it in a btm script (hello.btm) I get error 'perl510.dll not found'. btm script looks like this %@perl[print "Hello world!\n";] TCMD.INI is configured to use PERL Regular...

I had a need to get rid of long strings of spaces in a large database and replace them with a comma so I was trying to figure a way to get perl to do the job but for some reason perl would not work in the editor although it does work in TCC. Then I saw a post in the forum about @REPLACE and it...

Finally worked out how to do it!! The path can be anything but Command line must contain a path to an executable program such as TCC.exe. This wasn't clear in the help. Perhaps in the config dialog 'Command' should be changed to 'Program' or 'Executable Program'

All OK now thanks. Kept fingers crossed and used Windows Install Clean Up, manually deleted all the files and got rid of all the registry entries with Registry First Aid. After reboot I was lucky to be able to install TCMD11_v39 and all is well.
