Try if NOT “asdf” == “fdas” echo asdf
One way is: application arg0 arg1 > temp.txt set /p VAR=<temp.txt Another is: for /f %%i in (‘application arg0 arg1’) do set VAR=%%i Note that the first % in %%i is used to escape the % after it and is needed when using the above code in a batch file rather than on the command … Read more
Check the errorlevel in an if statement, and then exit /b (exit the batch file only, not the entire cmd.exe process) for values other than 0. same-executable-over-and-over.exe /with different “parameters” if %errorlevel% neq 0 exit /b %errorlevel% If you want the value of the errorlevel to propagate outside of your batch file if %errorlevel% neq … Read more
To expand on davor’s answer, you can use PowerShell like this: powershell “dir | tee test.txt” If you’re trying to redirect the output of an exe in the current directory, you need to use .\ on the filename, eg: powershell “.\something.exe | tee test.txt”
The space before the = is interpreted as part of the name, and the space after it (as well as the quotation marks) are interpreted as part of the value. So the variable you’ve created can be referenced with %location %. If that’s not what you want, remove the extra space(s) in the definition.
From within your batch file: %cd% refers to the current working directory (variable) %~dp0 refers to the full path to the batch file’s directory (static) %~dpnx0 and %~f0 both refer to the full path to the batch directory and file name (static). See also: What does %~dp0 mean, and how does it work?
curl -K myconfig.txt -o output.txt Writes the first output received in the file you specify (overwrites if an old one exists). curl -K myconfig.txt >> output.txt Appends all output you receive to the specified file. Note: The -K is optional.

I’m very surprised no one has mentioned: C:\> timeout 5 N.B. Please note however (thanks Dan!) that timeout 5 means: Sleep anywhere between 4 and 5 seconds This can be verified empirically by putting the following into a batch file, running it repeatedly and calculating the time differences between the first and second echos: @echo … Read more
