Windows 2000 Beep in Batch File
Michelle Hillard
I know this is easy for you.
But I dont understand how to make the computer beep in a batch file. I want
to use some control character ascii thing but dont know how to do this.
Any ideas?

echo ^G

I tried this but it didnt work.
If I simply put this line in a batch file, should it beep?
For some reason it doesnt. Running XP.
Do I need to do something else?

try this
1. create file bell.txt cantainig string ^G (or ^G^G^G)
2. in batch flie do: type bell.txt

Still cant get it working
I must be dumb

Some editors won't let you enter ^G (e.g. notepad.exe). You
can get around the problem by doing this:
- Create c:\test.bat with notepad.exe:
@echo off
echo
- Save & close the file
- Type this:
echo Ctrl+G Ctrl+G Ctrl+G>>c:\test.bat
- Reopen test.bat with notepad.exe
- Place the black blocks after the "echo" on the second line.
- Save & close
- Run the batch file

^G is in fact hold down alt key and press 7 from numeric keyboard, then
relase both keys - it will display ^G on screen.
Best way to create bell.txt is doing this from command prompt:
copy con bell.txt [Enter]
alt-7 [Enter] (display ^G)
F6 [Enter] (displays ^Z - end of input)

You guys are the best, thank you.

nice program. I don't wnat to restart a recent discussion, but when I
compare the source with an unassemble of beep.com it is obvious that
something is missing. I assume there is an org different from 0100 and
a header not shown.

Which is different from your source. So people who don't believe have
difficulties to prove correctness of the com file.
No offense meant. _I_ think ascii asm is a useful.

You didn't mention the unnecessary branch at the beginning,
the exit code and the unnecessary ret instruction. But your
delay loop is real funny: the length of the sound is inverse
proportional to the processor speed.
But as I already have said, you shouldn't use this decoder routine.
- because of the escaped ^ character the program will crash in DOS/Win9x
- if there is an extra space at the end of a line the code will fail
- this method uses 2 ascii characters for 1 binary byte and therefore
generates unnecessary large code
Or is this an attempt to bring discredit to ASCII assembler programming?

by two ^ in the encoded data. You also use a ! which is a problem
when delayed expansion is enabled in Win2k/XP. You also must take
care, that there is no separator character followed by a digit as
the last character in a line before the redirection symbol >.
Why didn't you just replace the ^ character in your original code
by a ~ character?

Yes, your decoding routine is very compact. So for very small
programs your over all size is smaller. But for larger programs
the cm3 encoded size is only 5/8 of your size.

It seems you have your solution. I was about to suggest that your
computer might have shipped with no "bell". Some systems may have a
sound card chip and no built-in speaker in which case you may need a
workaround. Another problem in some MS OSs could be that the beep.sys
driver is disabled. You can also use .wav files from batch by several
methods if desired.

Open an interactive session on the remotes system and issue ^G
(psexec.exe for example) ...but who would want to?
Or was it a joke?
barabashka
What I want to do is receive some distinct sound signal (3 beeps for
instance) on comp2 after remote batch completed on comp1.
Batch initiated and executed on comp1.
Problem with psexec is hardcoded password will be exposed in the batch
file.

Maybe stick a
NET SEND
in that file at the end...
