0C to PRN ?
Benny Pedersen
Hi,
I got an e-mail from one who asked me about a printer, as this:
One noted problem occurs though; the
printer's resume must be activated each
occurrence to start the printing process even
though the data is loaded in its buffer. I'm
assuming that it needs some sort of
end-of-page command, but I don't know of any
to use.
---
Since I'm moving (I have rent a room another place), then I have
already moved my printer to the new place to live from February,
so, I can't test the following answer that I wanted to e-mail. ?
ECHO::>%temp%.\~.tmp
ECHO::EXIT|%COMSPEC%/kPROMPT,rcx$_3$_e0,c,d,a$_w0$_q|DEBUG,%temp%.\~.tmp>NUL
COPY %temp%.\~.tmp PRN > NUL
DEL %temp%.\~.tmp
CLS
@:EXIT
Does it works?

Yes, it works, Benny. This single line does too. ;-)

Very good! So, we can do things without writing TEMP files.
I tried to make one with DEBUG CON and whitout setting variables.
The two long lines (prefixed with %3) should be in only one line, as
in (F E D C B A 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0) do
but would be wrapping in the transmission.
DEBUG LPT1 may be used instead of the previours nPRN

^^^^^^^
That's a very strange way to present a menu. <g> It's only confusing if 4
thru 0 is pressed. <G>

The sentance above is misleading (confused me anyways). I took is as meaning
the two lines beginning with %3 should be on a single line. But when I ran
the batch, it only allowed a single keystroke.

^^^^^^^^
This adds to the confusion because either way (single %3 or 2 %3 lines), it
returns the familiar "label not found" error message. Well, there were 2
CRLF's following that line, so I guess it didn't get truncated in transit.
So what's it there for? Left over garbage from testing?
Buddy
you press ctrl+P then alt+12 save the file as eject.txt or whatever.
in a batch file you type: copy eject.txt prn

Yes, the GOTO EOF was either garbage or just a line to
make an error message (I give you only one guess), :-)

Benny Pedersen,
PS.
Try substitute the CON in line no one with TMP or PRN
BTW. to better see, remove the
$_rcx$_7$_e
from line no one into the last line between n%4 and 0'
The execution order handled by the prefixed parameters, are
%1 the input message along with choice
%5 errorlevel
%2 then the second Choice
%5 and the errorlevel
and finaly the last line with :EXIT.
Okay, I know that both William, Outsider and you can run the
above batch in about 5 seconds in the head but I don't know who
else is reading this our CON PRN stuff.
I also assume that you can see that no variables is to be cleared
and that no TEMP files are used except those written
by DOS itself. Ehhhm, I also assume that you knew why I did put the
two extra parameters into the batch because of the wrapping lines.
BTW. I nice thing about my new
"2 digits input routine" (all lines except the last one), is
that if one would say 02 but said 2 (forgot the zero),
then 2 followed by a dot (2.) would be accepted as a valid input.
:-)

Sometimes I just run them because I don't have time. :-/

Don't know why, but, I automatically assume all your batches are for
dbl_click operation. ;-)
Batch on!

...snipped
Arrrg. Yes, definitely the wrong perspective on batch programming.
If Benny knew about the command line, he would not be filling the
command history with :EXIT's, nor would he be using CLS, PAUSE, and
EXIT at the end of batch programs. Most irritating!
It seems as if Benny appoached batch files backwards right from the
start. That's what happens when a full fledged point-&-clicker decides
to learn batch from the GUI and doesn't know the DOS prompt. I think
William Allen has a similar problem.
No offense intended, I just tell it like it is in my opinion.
