<p>This example shows how to enhance a program with persistent settings that can be changed using a menu.</p>
<p>I.e.:
</p><ul>
<li>Choose 1 to change the 'Install version' from 'Client' to 'Server'.</li>
<li>Choose 1 again to change the 'Install version' back to 'Client'.</li>
<li>Choose 2 to change the 'Size of installation' from Full to 'Regular'.</li>
<li>Choose 2 again to change the 'Size of installation' to 'Mini'.</li>
<li>Choose 2 again to change the 'Size of installation' back to 'Full'.</li>
<li>Choose I to begin the installation. Note: this example is just a simulation and will not install anything on your PC.</li>
</ul>

Features:
<ul>
<li>simple and well structured</li>
<li>settings changeable at runtime</li>

<tbody><tr>
<td class="title" valign="top">Description:</td>
<td class="text" valign="top"><p>This batch allows string
substitution in a text file. It parses each line of a text file for a
particular string and replaces it with another string.
<br>I.e. To replace all occurrences of "Yellow Submarine" in "color.txt" with "uboot" and put the output on the screen run:
<br><b>BatchSubstitute.bat "Yellow Submarine" uboot color.txt</b>
<br>Or
<br><b>type color.txt|BatchSubstitute.bat "Yellow Submarine" uboot</b>
<br>
<br>Optionally pipe the output into a new file, i.e.
<br><b>BatchSubstitute.bat "Yellow Submarine" uboot color.txt>newfile.txt</b>
<br>Or
<br><b>type color.txt|BatchSubstitute.bat "Yellow Submarine" uboot>newfile.txt</b>
</p>
Note: Due to the nature of the FOR command and string substitution, the following known restrictions apply:
<ul>
<li>Lines starting with "]" character will end up empty</li>
<li>OldStr must not start with "*"</li>
<li>Lines must not contain any of the following characters within a quoted string: "&<>|^", as discussed in this <a href="http://www.dostips.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=2600&highlight=#2600">post</a>.</li>

<td class="title" valign="top">Description:</td>
<td class="text" valign="top"><p>Did you ever pull the paper out of your printer to stop it from printing? Then
surly next thing you did was power cycling the printer to empty the printer buffer
and then cancelling the print job from the printer spooler on your PC. The print job
sometimes remains a long time in the printer queue before finally disappearing and
allowing the next print job to be processed. This is annoying on my box it takes up
to 5 minutes. Even rebooting the PC doesn`t help as it doesn`t empty the printer spooler.</p>
<p>This little batch gets it done. It temporarily stops the spooler service and removes all
files from the printer queue. <b>Beware though that all printer jobs will be deleted, not
only the ones that got canceled</b>.

<tbody><tr>
<td class="title" valign="top">Description:</td>
<td class="text" valign="top">Showing progress in the output window seems impractical in DOS batch, since there is no way to
overwrite a previews output for an updated progress status during each progress tick. Using the
<a href="http://www.dostips.com/DosCommandIndex.htm#ECHO">ECHO</a> command is not nice, screen content quickly scrolls out of sight. A practicable alternative
may be to use the window <a href="http://www.dostips.com/DosCommandIndex.htm#TITLE">TITLE</a> for the progress message. A nice side effect is that you can
minimize the batch window and still observe the progress output in the task bar, since the task
bar text will always reflect the window title text.</td>

<h2>File age in days - Convert the file date into Julian Days to determine the age of a file age in days</h2>
<table class="posts">
<tbody><tr>
<td class="title" valign="top">Description:</td>
<td class="text" valign="top"><p>Date and Time functions are useful for:
</p><ul>
<li>Calculations with date and time values</li>
<li>Determine the age of files in days</li>
<li>Determine the date difference in days</li>
</ul>
<p></p>
<p>The example in this section demonstrates how to use the <b>:ftime</b> function to
determine the age in days of all files in the temp directory.</p>
<p>Two variables are used
</p><ul>
<li>tnow - stores the current day in julian days format by calling <b>:jdate</b></li>
<li>tfile - stores the file date in julian days format by calling <b>:ftime</b></li>
</ul>
<p></p>
<p>Using <a href="http://www.dostips.com/DosCommandIndex.htm#SETLOCAL">Delayed Expansion</a> and exclamation marks around environment variables ensures that
the `tfile`variable is substituted properly during each loop. Read more about this behavior
in the <a href="http://www.dostips.com/DosCommandIndex.htm#SET">SET</a> command help (bottom half of the help text).</p></td>

change directory and change FTP modes, until you finally get where you want be in order to do some real
work then you may wish to get there with a singe click.
</p><p>This little batch can connect to your FTP server and logs you in before it gives you the prompt. You can
easily add more FTP commands to it, like changing directories or switching to binary mode or whatever you
like to be done before taking over control on the FTP prompt.
</p><p>The FTP connection information is embedded within the batch itself. The batch connects to an
FTP server by executing itself in FTP context using the <a href="http://www.dostips.com/DosCommandIndex.htm#FTP">FTP</a> -s option. Once executing in FTP context
it executes all FTP commands listed in the file. By omitting the final <a href="http://www.dostips.com/DosCommandIndex.htm#FTP">FTP</a> "bye" command it will stop
at the FTP prompt and wait for user input.
</p><p>Optionally a FTP script can be provided as input stream, that way multiple FTP scripts can share the same
login information. Example:
</p><p>FtpLogin.bat <script1.ftp</p></td>

<tbody><tr>
<td class="title" valign="top">Description:</td>
<td class="text" valign="top"><p>Embed FTP script into a batch script. Add this line at the beginning of the FTP script:</p>
<b>@ftp -i -s:"%~f0"&GOTO:EOF</b>
<p>The "FTP -s:ftpscript.txt" option executes a FTP script wheres "%~f0" resolved to the name of the running batch file.
"GOTO:EOF" ends the batch script and makes sure the FTP script doesn`t run as part of the batch.
<br>Good: You end up with only one file that contains the batch script and the FTP script combined.
<br>Minor flaw: The batch command in the first line causes an "Invalid
command." error when executed in FTP context, however the FTP execution
will continue.</p>

<table class="posts">
<tbody><tr>
<td class="title" valign="top">Description:</td>
<td class="text" valign="top"><p>If you have multiple FTP scripts that all use the same login information to your FTP site then you may
wish to manage the login information separately from your FTP scripts in a single place. That way
if the username, password or hostname for the FTP connection changes you only need to edit a single place
instead of having to edit all FTP scripts one by one.
</p><p>This automatic login script (also described in detail earlier) can be used to execute different FTP scripts
that share the same login information stored within the batch file.
</p><p>Example: <b>FtpLogin.bat script1.ftp</b>
</p><p><b>Note:</b> The FTP scripts passed into the batch must have the login sequence removed.
</p><p><b>Note:</b> The FTP script executes even if the connection sequence fails potentially causing `Not connected`
and other errors. This is no different from regularly executing <a href="http://www.dostips.com/DosCommandIndex.htm#FTP">FTP</a> with -s option.

<h2>OSQL.EXE - Run SQL script from DOS Batch - SQL script and dos batch script in one file, the One-File Solution</h2>
<table class="posts">
<tbody><tr>
<td class="title" valign="top">Description:</td>
<td class="text" valign="top"><p>Embedding SQL script within a batch script is just as easy. The following batch script
executes itself in SQL context. The trick is the GOTO command in the first line of the script.
When executing GOTO START in batch context than the command processor will jump to the label ":START"
and execute the batch script. The batch script will then run the OSQL.EXE using the batch file itself
as SQL file argument to be executed.
When subsequently executing the GOTO START line in SQL context, the query language processor will jump
to the label "START:" and execute the SQL queries.
In fact the file can be opened and executed in Query Analyzer as is, since the batch script in the file looks
like a comment to the query language processor.</p></td>

<h2>OSQL.EXE - Run SQL script from DOS Batch, passing parameters - Run SQL scripts with parameters passed in from the batch script</h2>
<table class="posts">
<tbody><tr>
<td class="title" valign="top">Description:</td>
<td class="text" valign="top"><p>Now we can embed SQL queries into
a batch file. But how can we pass arguments from the batch script into
SQL?
This can be done using a temporary table. Temporary tables live as long
as the connection to the SQL Server.
But how can we fill a temporary table with runtime data and execute the
embedded SQL script without creating two separate SQL Server connections
by calling OSQL.EXE twice?
The trick is that OSQL allows to use the -i and -q option at the same
time whereas:
</p><ul>
<li>-q specifies a query string to be executed</li>
<li>-i specifies a filename with SQL syntax to be executed</li>
</ul>
Both the query string and the SQL file will be executed using the same
Server connection. Some testing shows that the query string -q will
always be executed before the -I SQL file, which allows us to use a
query string to set up a temporary table.

file and wrapping a batch script around the Perl script is well known
under Perl monks. However the solution I have seen so far needed batch
code before and after the Perl script where as the solution presented
below only needs some lines of DOS at the top. The added DOS script is
generic and works independent from the name of the file.</p>
<p>When running the batch the DOS command interpreter will read the first lines and execute the file itself in Perl context.</p></td>
