No idea. I hate Take Command/E. I can also no longer afford to pay for yet another full version of TCC (I've bought at least half a dozen versions over the decades). I will try the demo version of TCE if I don't see any other ideas. :'(

For a few years now, whenever I try to use TCC/LE to copy large video files, it crashes, with the window simply disappearing mid-copy. Today, I saw a new variation: the same crash occurred when trying to copy 189 PNG files, totalling 783 MB. The first 6 files copied, a few seconds' pause, then...

Well that's a bit embarrassing! Yes, it seems @LINE[] does work. The results I was getting were because I was reading lines 1, 3, 5, which are all blank in the file, hence ECHO %@LINE["file.log",1] was returning ECHO is OFF. So I can use @LINE with a global line counter -- that certainly makes...

Actually, I do have command line DO. I paid for v3, v4, v5, but since then I've found TCC LE to be sufficient for (most of) my needs. Hence, I'm using TCC LE v13 x64. I do plan to buy a more recent version of TCC at some stage in the future, but I've never found much use for all the graphical...

Interesting idea. Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, my version of TCC doesn't have the SETARRAY command. As for what I'm doing, I'm trying to build a CSV table of the results of each file extraction. That's why a linear once-over the file is sufficient (though I suppose memory concerns...

Okay, that's interesting. I actually misinterpreted the display slightly, then. When I list one of the log files, the first six bytes are always FF FE 45 00 78 00 (which is 255 254 69 00 120 00 in decimal). But %@ascii[%@fileread[]] returns 160 9632 69 and nothing else (that's the whole line...

I'm trying to read in log files from Exact Audio Copy, but both @line and @fileread fail. The files are in Unicode (2 bytes per char), but I think the problem is that every file starts with a single FF byte. I can see how this would desynchronise a Unicode read. When I use @line, only the...

Well, don't I look silly! Thanks for pointing this out, Steve. While I'm here, I noticed that when you go Back in the TCC Help system, it takes you to the top of the page rather than to the point where you were (eg: half-way down the list of variable functions). Is there any way to change...

I've been using TCC LE 13 x64 to help configure a new Windows 7 installation (my first). One priority was to move the Users directory tree to D:\Users (ie: to another drive). This was reasonably simple to do from Safe Mode (though, being my first time, I made it more complicated than necessary)...

Yep, that did it. Installed v13 x64 and no more problem with not seeing files. Very well spotted, Charles! Thanks! Still can't overwrite compmgmt.msc, though. Will have to ask on a Win7 forum.

I'm sure I am. There doesn't seem to be a 64-bit version of TCC LE 12.11. Does this mean I'll have to ignore silly superstition and try v13? Or was there a 64-bit version of v12, but it's not on the ftp site?

Technically, these are probably Windows 7 questions. But it's TCC's behaviour in Windows 7 that is confusing. So, my main question is: Why do TCC (v12.76) and Windows Explorer see different files in some directories? For example, TCC can find (dir /a) 4 directories and 0 files in...
