I've always wondered this and could never find an answer to it, but is it possible to clear your RAM from a batch file?

Playing around with my Batch script again. It was brought to my attention that my update routine was not working correctly. Iteration 1 would result in the running script being deleted and not copying the new version from a folder I had selected. Iteration 2 now deletes the old script and copies the new script but with each line of code I change I end up with the currently running script closing, and the new updated script not launching.
Here's a snippet of the Update routine:

I saw elsewhere I could have used the FC command. I didn't know about it until troubleshooting this problem. I've gotten this far and I feel I'm just missing some small trick to get the new updated script to launch.
If you need any more info let me know. I think I covered everything.

Tested on a Win7 VM. The script needs to restart on update else
weird issues may occur. CMD does not like scripts changing as it
is reading and interpreting them. Even reusing the same console
using START with /B may cause key input issues.
update.bat is overwritten every update as it stores absolute paths
so each update will be different paths with the filenames changing.
Using a wildcard with CALL may not work too well otherwise.
update.bat moves the old version to a .bak file, copies the new
version and if successful, deletes the .bak file, else moves the
.bak file to the old version. This is just to ensure a current
version always exists even if the update fails.
Changed quotes in :Options label from ' to ". Quotes are not
interchangeable like some other languages. Example: "%OPTION%"
will work if contains a space though '%OPTION%' may cause error.
I notice no SETLOCAL at the top of your full script. Advise you add
it unless you have a good reason not to.
I merged labels :Update_1 and :Update_2 into one.
Perhaps adjust Ping localhost -n number if more or less time is
needed.
Look at the %tmp%\update.log if a problem happens. Though expect
the errors to show in the console as the label :log in
update.bat echoes to console and writes to the log.
I am learning A LOT lately and have managed to get a basic bat file using script i have found online and mixing it all into one.
I have hit a small glitch where one of the lines now exports to a text file in the location the file is run from.
My issue now is that it autocloses after creating the text file rather than going back to the main start screen.
Can anyone help me out with this?
I have put the script that autocloses below for reference.
the final bit seems to close it (goto :eof) but if i remove that it stops exporting to the text file?

I wrote a windows batch script to check and move files to another directory based on the list I put in a notepad file named list.txt. But I have no idea that how to set the while-loop. Only to jump out of the subroute when the condition fulfill.
In C Programming, we could write like this by setting a while-loop direcly. But seems in windows batch is quite different.
All I want is like this:
Directory A:
1. A.txt
2. B.txt
3. list.txt (By line sequential with filename want to move)
4. process.bat
Directory B:
None of files (Then move a file by order of line set in list.txt) OR
A.txt (If already existed a text file in directory, process.bat will pause before A.txt disappear)
Process.bat
#echo off

for /f "tokens=*" %%a in (list.txt) do call :processline %%a

About 3 days ago I asked a question, which can be found here:
how to replace a string on the second line in a text file using a batch file?
I'm converting the letters in a text file into their respective numbers. I'm getting error messages such as "Access denied" and "Cannot locate this file" -- but the same batch file that's giving me all these errors is also the one that made these text files to begin with! So it should be in the same directory as the batch file itself (unless specified otherwise), right? I even went to that folder and checked, and they're there.
I did add a small script to hide the files after they were created so that it wouldn't look so cluttered up. I did this by using
attrib +h C:\script\%name%.txt
Would hiding a file with this command make it invisible to batch programs that are searching for it/call upon it?
Here's a link to the file, "stringparsing.bat": http://uploading.com/files/a1m1d2f4/stringparsing.bat/
If you could assist me in getting this program to carry out its task without any errors it would be greatly appreciated!
Here's the "stringparsing.bat" file in full:

You've got a few problems. First, the access denied problem is from you redirecting to a hidden file.
echo %name% > Language_File.txt
attrib +h Language_File.txt
Note that the first time you run the script, it will work because Language_File.txt won't exist and therefore won't be hidden. The second time you run it, you'll get access denied. I don't know why Windows doesn't let you do that. You can solve this problem in a couple ways.
1. Save your file to the user's temp directory. With this approach your directory won't get cluttered.
echo %name% > %TMP%\Language_File.txt
2. Save your file to a subdirectory that you own so that it doesn't clutter the script's directory.
if not exist workspace mkdir workspace
echo %name% > workspace\Language_File.txt
3. Unhide the file before you use it. Since the file may not exist the first time you run the script, perhaps you should only attrib -h if it exists.
if exist Language_File.txt attrib -h Language_File.txt
echo %name% > %TMP%\Language_File.txt
attrib +h Language_File.txt
4. Don't use Language_File.txt at all! I don't see why you need it. Just use variables to hold the name of the language file. In fact, you already have the name in %name%, right?
Second, you should check the value of your variables to see what they really hold. When you load the contents of Language_File.txt into your variable, it's loading all the contents. That includes the hidden newline characters \r\n, although the script seems to bring them into the variable as spaces. See:
c:\batch\t>echo language file is loading now!
language file is loading now
C:\batch\t>set /p name= <Language_File.txt
C:\batch\t>echo -%name%-
-langfile -
If you echo %name% surrounded by hyphens, you can see that there are 2 spaces after it from (presumably) the newline characters. To solve this problem, you can use set to trim the trailing characters.
C:\batch\t>echo language file is loading now!
language file is loading now
C:\batch\t>set /p name= <Language_File.txt
C:\batch\t>set name=%name:~0,-2%
C:\batch\t>echo -%name%-
-langfile-
In the second example, `%name% doesn't have the hidden characters.
Finally, you only need to use ! to access variables that you set inside the for loop. So all references to !name! should be %name% instead. That's probably your "cannot find file" error.
