Batch

Well since you can't use arrays in DOS (as far as I know.. however I have discovered how to make animations and store and retrieve variables from external txt files) sooo... im guessing you just used perl from command line.

W00t!!
ANIMATION IN DOS!! *warning: this uses 100% of your CPU!

Code: Select all: @echo off :main set num=0 set num2=0 set num3=0 set color=1 :main5 if "%num3%" == "700" goto end5 set /a num3=%num3% + 1 goto main5 :end5 color 02 title You echo # # echo # # #### # # echo # # # # # # echo # # # # # echo # # # # # echo # # # # # echo # #### #### :main1 if "%num%" == "700" goto end1 set /a num=%num% + 1 goto main1 :end1 cls color 04 title You Got echo # # echo # # #### # # echo # # # # # # echo # # # # # echo # # # # # echo # # # # # echo # #### #### echo ##### echo # # #### ##### echo # # # # echo # #### # # # echo # # # # # echo # # # # # echo ##### #### # :main2 if "%num%" == "1400" goto end2 set /a num=%num% + 1 goto main2 :end2 cls color 01 title You Got Owned echo # # echo # # #### # # echo # # # # # # echo # # # # # echo # # # # # echo # # # # # echo # #### #### echo ##### echo # # #### ##### echo # # # # echo # #### # # # echo # # # # # echo # # # # # echo ##### #### # echo ####### echo # # # # # # ###### ##### echo # # # # ## # # # # echo # # # # # # # ##### # # echo # # # ## # # # # # # # echo # # ## ## # ## # # # echo ####### # # # # ###### ##### :main3 if "%num%" == "2100" goto end3 set /a num=%num% + 1 goto main3 :end3 cls :text if "%num2%" == "300" goto main if "%color%" == "9" set color=1 title You Got Owned color 0%color% echo # # echo # # #### # # echo # # # # # # echo # # # # # echo # # # # # echo # # # # # echo # #### #### echo ##### echo # # #### ##### echo # # # # echo # #### # # # echo # # # # # echo # # # # # echo ##### #### # echo ####### echo # # # # # # ###### ##### echo # # # # ## # # # # echo # # # # # # # ##### # # echo # # # ## # # # # # # # echo # # ## ## # ## # # # echo ####### # # # # ###### ##### cls set /a num2=%num2% + 1 set /a color=%color% +1 goto text

Actually, it's pure batch. Also, I've handwritten several variations on arrays in batch scripts at times. I assure you it's doable. If you finish programming 1, I'll show you my code. :-)

can you at least show me how to use arrays in DOS?

*edit* My code earlier.. it was supposed to say you got owned
but it formatted it all wrong
animation still kinda works though.

Arrays don't exist, but there are ways to use the mutable nature of batch scripts to obtain similar functionality.

One version would be:

Code: Select all: @ECHO OFF SETLOCAL ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION SET T=1 SET A%T%=Something SET /A T+=1 SET A%T%=else SET /A T+=1 SET A%T%=altogether ECHO !A%T%!

Also, use code tags. It helps maintain formatting.

hmmm... Ill have to look at this. BTW, you forgot to add
end local
to the end.

*edit*

also... what happened here?

SET /A T+=1

dont you mean

set /a T=%T%+1

No, I didn't.

EoF serves as an automatic ENDLOCAL. Please do be aware you are speaking to possibly one of the worst abusers of batch syntax, etc. in the world. I've done a lot of crap with batch script no sane person would use a batch script for.

Also, +=1 is the same as =%T%+1

Have fun!

im not getting anything from it.. it only echoes the word "altogether"

Yes, that's the only part it's meant to echo.

Oh... okay... sooo.. how does this help me.. How can DOS take input and break each letter into a variable? This is all I can do with it:

Code: Select all: @Echo Off SetLocal EnableDelayedExpansion echo. set t=1 Set var%t%=something set /a t=%t% + 1 Set var%t%=else set /a t=%t% + 1 Set var%t%=altogether set max=3 For /L %%i in (1,1,%max%) Do Echo !var%%i! EndLocal echo. echo. echo. pause exit
