- goto code
- :echo1
- @1FBATUTIL @1Ehas a number of tools to spruce up what you display on
- the screen during batch files. You can use the PRetty command to control
- colors so that
- @1FBATUTIL {PR @@1EC@@1Fo@@1Al@@1Do@@1Br}
- would display as
-
- @1EC@1Fo@1Al@1Do@1Br
-
- BATUTIL can also display
-
-
- :echo2
-
-
- The BIG letters can have varrying
-
-
- :echo3
-
-
- The strings that you echo (or that you place in the environment) have
- metastring translation, that is shorthand expressions which are converted at
- the time the batch file is run just as the DOS PROMPT command changes $$t to
- the current time. These include:
-
- @0A SHORTHAND MEANING TRANSLATION
- @0A ──────────── ──────────────── ───────────────────
- @0E $$p @0B current path @0F $p
- @0E $$W @0B day of week @0F $W
- @0E $$E @0B date in full @0F $E
- @0E $$H:$$m @0B time as HH:MM @0F $H:$m
-
-
- One can place small amounts of material to echo on the command line and take
- whole screenfuls like this from a file. In fact, this screen is part of
- the batch file itself!!
