Sometimes, when I use a DO varname IN filesetcommand, the output list of files includes the full filepath; sometimes not. This makes it awkward (but not really too hard) to handle the output in a consistent and clean manner. The filepath-prepending seems to be triggered by the use of regular...

I apologize (once again) for resurrecting this thread, but thought I'd post the answer, for anyone who happens to stumble across the thread. In my response #13, I forgot to specify case-insensitivity (or, alternatively, specify upper-case characters). In addition, it wanted the double-quotes...

That solution works for me in both TCmd and TCC. Turns it off, just as you (and I) wanted.

Vince: see my last paragraph for how I turned it off. I think I'm encountering a variation of the same problem. In Multi-Edit, I have Undo and Redo assigned to Ctrl-Z and Shift-Ctrl-Z. These work fine, as long as TCmd isn't running. Just recently (I'm not sure how long ago), Shift-Ctrl-Z...

I like REs: they can be very precise in selecting the fileset I want to operate on and what I want to do to it. But they can also be a PITA, especially when it comes to greedy/non-greedy, escape characters, and the apparent inability to match hex/octal patterns (see first post). They require...

Well, it does specify the files you want to operate on: every file whose name contains a dash. The RE is both file-selection and pattern-to-replace. If I wanted to be more specific, I could use ^ and $ anchors (or even just a little more of the name) and come up with a pattern that would...

Just for completeness: suppose I want to go back the other way: replace the spaces with dashes. The best way I've found to do that is this: do until errorlevel gt 0 (ren ":: (.)" ::-\1) ...with one caveat: if a filename that originally ended with dashes had those dashes converted to spaces...

[D:\TMP] dir /b /a-d *-* a-b a-b--c---d a--b-c a-b-c-d If I want to convert all those dashes to underscores in the filenames, I can use this command: ren ::- ::_ But what if I want to convert the dashes to spaces? I haven't figured out how to include a space character that is recognized as...

Well, technically, it can, by referencing %[%@inc[%i]]. Yes, it can: [D:\TMP] type foo.btm @ echo off set retval=0 do i=1 to %# iff %retval gt 0 then set retval=0 iterate endiff gosub foo %[%i] set retval=%_? enddo quit :foo [var] echo var passed is %var...

Vince, maybe I'm missing something. In your example, the subroutine can still see all the parameters by using %[%i]. In general, your approach offers an advantage over SHIFT in that all parameters are available all the time.

Resolved in 28.02.18.

But only until I shut down the debugger.

Yes.

I was entering the parms in the ribbon in the debugger. Going to 18 fixed it. Thanks, Vince!

I'm starting it from the Tools | Edit/Debug menu item.
