How do I get information about a file extension association
Timo Salmi
@echo off & setlocal enableextensions
::
if "%~1"=="" (
echo Usage: %~0 Extension
goto :EOF
)
set ext_=%~1
::
for /f "tokens=2 delims==" %%a in (
'assoc^|find /i "%ext_%"') do set assoc_=%%a
echo %ext_% %assoc_%
if defined assoc_ (
reg query HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\%assoc_%|find "REG_SZ"
) else (
echo No association)
endlocal & goto :EOF
The output might be e.g.
C:\_D\TEST>cmdfaq .html
.html FirefoxHTML
AlwaysShowExt REG_SZ
<NO NAME> REG_SZ HTML Document
C:\_D\TEST>cmdfaq .dir
.dir
No association
All the best, Timo

The addition gives the programs associated with the extension.

Have you looked at the Ftype command? I've got a script at work that
has more substance than the one-liner below, but it covers the
concept.
for /f "tokens=1* delims==" %%a in ('assoc %1') do ftype %%b
Thanks,

Replace "Z" with "L"

That is very nice. Thank you Clay.
Let's test a bit with yours included
@echo off & setlocal enableextensions
::
if "%~1"=="" (
echo Usage: %~0 Extension
goto :EOF
)
set ext_=%~1
::
for /f "tokens=2 delims==" %%a in (
'assoc^|find /i "%ext_%"') do set assoc_=%%a
echo Timo:
echo %ext_% %assoc_%
::
echo Clay:
for /f "tokens=1* delims==" %%a in ('assoc %1') do ftype %%b
::
endlocal & goto :EOF
Example 1 (ok)
C:\_D\BAS>cmdfaq .html
Timo:
.html FirefoxHTML
Clay:
FirefoxHTML=C:\PROGRA~1\MOZILL~1\FIREFOX.EXE -url "%1"
Example 2 (bafflement)
C:\_D\BAS>cmdfaq .lst
Timo:
.lst ft000016 [which can be used to get further information on .lst]
Clay:
File type 'ft000016' not found or no open command associated with it.
But I have .lst associated. From folder options, edit file type:
LST list text file
The SemWare Editor Professional
"C:\Program Files\TSEPro\tse32.exe" "%1"
Some limitations would appear to be in place with FTYPE.
All the best, Timo

Got it now. The "Action" in File Types must exclicitly be "open".
All the best, Timo

RazTK, I prefer the code formatted for easier understanding!
I have added the missing carets to your STDERR redirects
::-----START-----
01;@ECHO OFF&SETLOCAL ENABLEEXTENSIONS
02;FOR %%? IN (%*) DO CALL :CHECK %%?
03;ENDLOCAL&GOTO :EOF
04;:CHECK
05;ECHO/
06;FOR /F "DELIMS=." %%A IN ("%~1") DO (
07; FOR /F "TOKENS=2 DELIMS==" %%B IN ('ASSOC .%%A ^2^>NUL') DO (
08; FOR /F "TOKENS=2 DELIMS==" %%C IN ('FTYPE %%B ^2^>NUL') DO (ECHO/%%A : %%B)&(ECHO/%%B : %%C)
09; )||(ECHO/%%A : %%B)
10; )||(ECHO/'FILE EXTENSION %~1' NOT FOUND.)
11;GOTO :EOF
::------END------
And prettied a little
Note: Line numbers, 'nn;', included to prevent line wrap, should be removed
RazTK
However, there is no need for my "missing carets", at least on my
system.
