Hi,
I am creating a small batch file that (hopefully) will copy files from one name to another. however one batch of files cause problems - for the application they are going to be used in, they have to have a % sign in the name - i.e. 1194EL%2f03.jpg (they are all image files).
When I run the following, the % sign is removed, obviously as it has a certain use in batch files.
copy 10_20tc_500.jpg 10%2f20X1%2f2TC .jpg
copy 10_20tc_500.jpg 10%2f21X1%2f2TC .jpg
copy 10_22tc_500.jpg 10%2f22X1%2f2TC .jpg
copy 10_22tc_500.jpg 10%2f22X12MMTC. jpg
copy 10_23tc_500.jpg 10%2f23X3%2f8TC .jpg
copy 10_25tc_500.jpg 10%2f25X1%2f2TC .jpg
copy 10_25tc_500.jpg 10%2f26X1%2f2TC .jpg
anyway to use this and keep the %?
Thanks

Try using %% where you want the % sign.
However I am a little worried, it looks like this may be from or directed 2 the web and %<HexValue> is the http way of specifying characters that shouldn't be actually written.
It follows from your file names that %2F is the character / which is unlikely to be valid in a file name.
Of course I could be reading more into this that actually exists.
enclose the filenames in double quotes should do it too

I'm trying to call a batch file that I've built using the FileSystemObject
and CreateObject("Wscript.Shell"), oShell.Run... in an asp script.
Naturally, I can get the script to work from a command line but not from a
browser. The page does not throw an error but the oShell.Run... portion of
the script doesn't run. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I need help closing a CMD window when it is executed from Access.
1) The batch file is called from Access.
2) Access closes,
3) the batch runs a copy of the access database (creating a backup)
4) Once the copy is complete, the batch file opens the Access database
again
5) EXIT should close out the cmd window but it does not execute that
line

I have a web service that needs to create a batch file and call it (since

I found that CMD IS in fact running, but it is running under the context...

I was doing research on using batch files as drop targets when I came across a python discussion thread on this site with the same topic. I thought I would share what I had learned (the hard way), but I could find no way to reply to that thread (even after registering!).
Anyway, wrapping the python script in a batch file is a good idea, but I believe the problem the python programmer was encountering was how Windows automatically...

I have developed a web site for my client on .net 2.0 framework using
asp.net 2.0. This web site will be hosted on Windows 2003 server.
Web application runs the batch file on the user button click. This
batch file runs isql, isqlw or bcp utility of sql server to pull the

the query.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
