I'm asking this because I want to make a download file for a simple website IP finder I made. Here is the code so far:
#echo off
color 03
SET /P user=Enter the user you are using here:
echo.>>"C:\Users\%user%\desktop\WebIPFind.bat"
echo #echo off > WebIPFind.bat
echo color 03 >> WebIPFind.bat
echo :loop >> WebIPFind.bat
echo SET /A ip=%ip%+1 >> WebIPFind.bat
echo ECHO IP No. %ip% >> WebIPFind.bat
echo SET /P website=Enter a website URL: >> WebIPFind.bat
echo ping %website% -l 8 -w 1 -n 1 >> WebIPFind.bat
echo goto :loop >> WebIPFind.bat
but when I use this it just replaces the variables with blank spaces. Is there a way to make it so it writes the names of the variables? (I don't need the user variable to be written because that is used to select where to write the bat file)
Your modified sample, like T3RROR explained
#echo off
color 03
SET /P user=Enter the user you are using here:
(
echo(
echo #echo off
echo color 03
echo :loop
echo SET /A ip=ip+1
echo ECHO IP No. %%ip%%
echo SET /P website=Enter a website URL:
echo ping %%website%% -l 8 -w 1 -n 1
echo goto :loop
) >>"C:\Users\%user%\desktop\WebIPFind.bat"
I created an batch-script that positioned with youtube-dl and ffmpeg. I set several set to put URL and Video/Audio ID. Here my script that I simplified

First and third option execute successfully. Second option will appear the message like this:
Usage: youtube-dl [OPTIONS] URL [URL...]
youtube-dl: error: You must provide at least one URL.
Type youtube-dl --help to see a list of all options.
Note: Since I stuck on first and second stage of youtube-dl, ffmpeg may not work (I have not tested it yet).
Can you help me?
After re-fix the script is pretty much done.

Feel free to use the script.
Note: Be sure to have youtube-dl.exe and ffmpeg.exe on same folder, video will also saved on same folder .

Echo a blank (empty) line to the console from a Windows batch file [duplicate]

Closed 5 years ago.
I need to merge all files in a directory and its subdirectories into one. Based in solutions, I've this code below (I'd like to improve...):
Set output="evoc.lua"

For /r "./src/" %%a in (*.lua) do #(

It works. Now I need to distinguish files by line breaks (e.g., '\r\n' or \n); I've tried with Echo., but it puts dots (not at all). Any solutionsw

The problem with echo. is an old friend of batch files. It seems that there is no perfect solution to print new lines that work in all the cases.
These are some alternatives that you can try:
Echo/
Echo\

I wonder if there is a possibility the code below to enable a progress bar or percentage counter to check the progress of download, however alternativar not seen since the download is being executed by the FTP client.

The build-in Windows command-line FTP client (ftp.exe) cannot display progress of the transfer. All it can do, is what you already get with the hash command.
You have to use another FTP client to get percentage progress.
For example with WinSCP FTP client, you get the percentage progress by default.
winscp.com /command ^
"open ftp://rjk:password#177.125.217.138/" ^
"cd atualizador" ^
"get libx12.dll" ^
"get rjkmonitor.exe" ^
"get rjkini.exe" ^
"exit"
See a guide for converting Windows FTP script to WinSCP script.

okay, so I'm trying to make a batch file that just echos the text inside a file called "test.txt" and my code is
#echo off
cls
(
echo %0%
echo %1%
echo %2%
echo %3%
echo %4%
echo %5%
echo %6%
echo %7%
echo %8%
echo %9%
echo %10%
echo %11%
echo %12%
echo %13%
echo %14%
echo %15%
echo %16%
) <test.txt
pause >nul
but for some very strange reason I couldn't find any answers for anywhere, my output is
ECHO is off.
ECHO is off.
ECHO is off.
ECHO is off.
ECHO is off.
ECHO is off.
ECHO is off.

and I really don't understand why.
If you want to echo the text that's inside your test.txt file, then you need to add this line to your batch file as already said by #Blorgbeard.
type C:\..\test.txt
#pause
Adding this line to your batch file will display the text/contents of a file in the command prompt window.
Copy the numbers below into test.txt on your desktop.

.
Now copy and paste the code below into print.bat on your desktop.
#ECHO OFF
type "%UserProfile%\Desktop\test.txt"
#pause
now run print.bat
REM:: Big thanks to Rakitić, Blorgbeard & Hackoo.
With this batch file you can echo your test.txt file :
#echo off
Set "MyFile=test.txt"
for /f "delims=" %%a in ('Type "%MyFile%"') Do (
echo %%a )
pause
