%~dp0 VS %cd%

by scmgalaxy Kothers scripting languageLeave a Comment on %~dp0 VS %cd%

rajeshkumar created the topic: %~dp0 VS %cd%

Use of %~dp0 and Use of %cd%

They are not equivalent.

%cd% is available either to a batch file or at the command prompt and expands to the drive letter and path of the current directory (which can change e.g. by using the CD command)

%~dp0 is only available within a batch file and expands to the drive letter and path in which that batch file is located (which cannot change). It is obtained from %0 which is the batch file’s name.

An experiment like the following shows the difference

Here is D:\dirshow.bat:

@echo off
echo this is %%cd%% %cd%
echo this is %%~dp0 %~dp0

Run it from C:\ and this is what you see

C:\>D:\dirshow.bat
this is %cd% C:\
this is %~dp0 D:\

DOS Command to display time without prompting for New time

by scmgalaxy Kothers scripting languageLeave a Comment on DOS Command to display time without prompting for New time

scmuser created the topic: DOS Command to display time without prompting for New time

I think most of us know the DOS command “time/T” which displays current system time without prompting for new time.

But If one needs more granular output, say in HH:MM:SS format, here is a way out, use “echo %TIME%” which expands to current time using same format as TIME command.

There are so many other things which can be echoed. For example, try any of the following variables:
%CD% – expands to the current directory string.

%DATE% – expands to current date using same format as DATE command.

%RANDOM% – expands to a random decimal number between 0 and 32767.

%ERRORLEVEL% – expands to the current ERRORLEVEL value

%CMDEXTVERSION% – expands to the current Command Processor Extensions version number.

%CMDCMDLINE% – expands to the original command line that invoked the Command Processor.

%PATH% – expands the current PATH variable.

rajani replied the topic: function in vb script

it won’t work
i have write
“Develop a function that accepts a string of names separated by comma (example given below), add those names in an array and display the names added in the array”

Example: rajani; Disha; Dhara; Hunny ;moon
without using split function
can i use mid function

rajani replied the topic: function in vb script

i am able to display name but with comma
Dim fruits()
ReDim fruits(100)
nofruits=0
‘we do not know how many fruit names we are going to enter and so, we have declared the array size as 100
For i=0 to 100
fruits(i)=inputbox(“Enter the name of a fruit separated by comma”)
ans = MsgBox(“Do you want to continue”, vbYesNo, “Confirm Continuation…”)
If ans=vbNo Then
Exit For
End If
nofruits=nofruits+1
Next
ReDim Preserve fruits(nofruits)
‘Redim keyword resets the number of elements that can be accommodated in the array.

fruitnames=””

For each fruit in fruits
‘Using For Each Next we have displayed all the names of the fruits which was entered and kept in fruits array.
‘For Each Next extracts the fruit names stored in the array and msgbox displays the output.

fruitnames=fruitnames&fruit&vbnewline
Next

msgbox fruitnames

rajani replied the topic: function in vb script

rajani replied the topic: function in vb script

dim Array, Str1,X
Str1 = “Neha; Swati; Disha; Sonya; Dhara”
Array = split(Str1,”;”)
for each x in Array
message = message & x & vbCRLF
next
msgbox message
