When I try to run
netsh -c interface ipv4 add neighbors “Wi-Fi” “192.168.1.1” “00-24-36-A0-A0-61” store=persistent
in a bat file, it comes out as
netsh -c interface ipv4 add neighbors ΓÇ£Wi-FiΓÇ¥ ΓÇ£192.168.1.1ΓÇ¥ ΓÇ£00-24-36-A0-A0-61ΓÇ¥
store=persistent
in cmd. What can I do to fix this so they show up as regular quotation marks?
note: I am just learning bat so if there is something really easy to spot that I'm completely missing, that's why.
For me, it looks like, you are using "Unicode"-Quotations copied out from Microsoft Word.
Copy them into Notepad and replace them by real Quotations '"'.

I have a .exe file (let's say it's name is XXX.exe) whose job is to clean a text file with all lines starting with %. Usually I call the .exe file in CMD as:XXX.exe clean_text.dat and it does the job.
However I want to create a batch file where the text file's name will be user input and rest everything will be done automatically. I have written a script as:
#echo off
set /p file= Enter filename:
XXX.exe file
After giving the filename (with full path), CMD flashes error saying it can't access to the input file.
I believe the last line is not correctly writtten. Can anyone provide the solution?
Use %file% in the last line. You want the contents of variable file and not the name of the variable to be used as parameter for program XXX.exe.

I make a batch file which first creates a couple files, and then opens it
For one file I did
Set txt = (some text) """" & (some more text)
And then it puts that text into a .txt file but, everything after the & doesn't get copied. Only the things in front of it.
I would want to copy the whole thing, not only the things in front of the &
Put carret ^ just before the ampersand & character, it need to be escaped because it have special meaning in windows shell scripting

What is wrong with this code? it is supposed to print hello world
#echo off
set message = Hello World
echo %message%
I wrote it in notepad, and I saved it as first.bat, but when I run it in cmd.exe, it tells me echo is off
Do not add extra space before the equal sign in the set command.
#echo off
set message=Hello World
echo %message%

I have a DAT file that I need to rename and make a txt file. It currently is named PRV4W.SW and I want it to be PRV4WSW.txt. I've tried below but it does not seem to work. Thanks.
ren "C:\PRV 4\20200731\PRV4W.SW" "C:\PRV 4\20200731\PRV4WSW.txt"
ren "C:\PRV 4\20200731\PRV4W.SW.dat" "C:\PRV 4\20200731\PRV4WSW.txt"
Please try
ren "C:\PRV 4\20200731\PRV4W.SW" PRV4WSW.txt
The above command works fine in Win7.
BTW, the new name should not contain [drive:][path]
Please type
help ren
for the usage of the ren command.

I have a java class file that is causing problems because of the length of the name:
GroundTransportationProductType$GroundTransportationOptions$GroundTransportationProductOption$GroundTransportationOptionProviderLinks$ProviderLinks.class
I have managed to get the file on the unix box (Solaris) by under a shortend file name.
my.class
How can I rename my.class to the correct class name above?
Using mv and cp normally (ie not doing something for the dollar signs) does not work.
I have googled and searched extensively but cannot find anything on how to create a file with a dollar name in it on unix.
Thanks,
Kenny
$ has a special meaning in shells, so you need to escape it somehow. The best option would be to use single quotes around your filenames. A \ in front of the '$' sign would also work.
mv my.class 'Long$File$Name.class'
or
mv my.class Long\$File\$Name.class
