| PAUSE() [which is reliable].cmd.txt |
The "PAUSE" doesn't always work (particularly when invoked via shortcuts), whats one more bug in Windows eh?
This code was written to provide a pause function which would alwys work.
| The Code for: "PAUSE() [which is reliable].cmd.txt" |
This is the example, a shortcut was installed to this code :
@echo off ::@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ :: $Header: C:/DBAREIS/Projects.PVCS/Win32/ScriptingTipsAndTricks/EXAMPLE[cmd].PAUSE() [which is reliable].cmd.txt.pvcs 1.0 29 Jun 2014 12:51:22 USER "Dennis" $ ::@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ setlocal call :PAUSE call :PAUSE "to exit the script" goto :EOF ::=========================================================================== :PAUSE :: For whatever reason the "PAUSE" command can't be relied to do so, at least :: when invoked by double clicking on the batch file in explorer... ::===========================[ v14.177a ]==================================== echo. setlocal if "%~1" == "" set ToWhat=TO CONTINUE if not "%~1" == "" set ToWhat=%~1 set /P Pause=[PRESS THE "ENTER" KEY %ToWhat%] endlocal echo. goto :EOF
Please note that that I am not trying to show how great I am by producing batch files 9,000 characters long on one line that no one will understand or be able to debug when they go wrong. I am going out of my way to comment the code and make it verbose so beginners and advanced users will both benefit. I don't claim to be an expert that knows everything, if I'm wrong or make a mistake then please contact me and let me know :-)
