[MasterJake777]

@HomiesOfMars That's just the default Windows XP theme, I think.

[letmechoosemydeath]

hey masterjake..

i realy like your stuff ,simple and inspiering..

i got a Q for you... what is the difference between *.bat to *.cmd to execute a file?

thanks

[photographylover246]

of you aren't already, you should stop using batch files and use C++

[ThePolarisKid]

@photographylover246 C++ is VERY powerfull i agree but some things it just cant do

[photographylover246]

@ThePolarisKid Maybe. Though now I am learning how to make iPhone/iPod apps and it uses Objective-C

Lucky bastard ive tried for months downloading Halo Custom ED

[abrarockers]

FAKE!!!!! it doesn't work

[drakfelt96]

YES IS DOES!!!!!!

[theguitargod132]

what do i type for google chrome???

[pinkistoughjj]

go to run, type C:\program files\**whatever it is called in your ALL PROGRAMS**(dont insert the stars) then hit ok, there should be a bunch of folders, look for the one that has the same icon as the shortcut does, whatever it is called is what you type in...hope this works for u

[theguitargod132]

but google chrome is in my user/appdata/local/google/chro­me/application what do i use for that?

[pinkistoughjj]

ok go to where ever you usually left click to start google crome (or double click)...but instead of left clikcing, right click it, then hit Properties...then there should be a box that says target, copy whatever is in that box...now go to start, run, and paste it there...if it has quotations delete them and hit enter...now whatever has the icon for google crome is the file u want so just copy whatever the file is called from there and paste it in ur batch with .exe at the end...hope this helps!

[pinkistoughjj]

i used 500 letters there :P

[aazorrilla]

[astorm13298]

cool tutorial

[CharlestonChew03]

Awesome work man! Cmd is a great tool to use. Even system administrators should be skilled in it. It has come in handy for me even just recently, I had to eliminate a darn boot sector virus. Nice video again!

[A7XRules4life]

"Not really hard or anything..." Well, that's debatable. I've been experimenting with .bat files for months and still haven't learned variables yet.

[XaivierProductions]

set /p var= Enter Your Variable

echo %var%

try that

[zan287]

hey i cant use the new Variable i made in my batch files

[mlortime]

probably because you do not have the the null file

[zan287]

whats is that???

[mlortime]

Null file is the file needed to use the Null comand

[zan287]

how do i get the null file

[mlortime]

well normoally it is auto-creation but some computers don have it auto-creation

[cod3hack3r]

thx so much

[plznumbmyheart]

what does /p do?

[MasterJake777]

Prompts the user to input a value instead of setting the variable automatically.

very good

[mark12852]

oh, btw, good video :D

[FaulknerProgramming]

it helped me a lot when i watched it ages ago so i fort i would come back and say thanks :D check out my video response

[TheOnlyDuST]

nvm i remembered lol

[TheOnlyDuST]

nice i didnt know about the md command. i use to know the commands and would input data into another file. the data being words and or commands. so basically you could create a batch file that created another batch file with data in it such as a command. it involved > and >> but i cant remember the process completely do you know how to do this? normally id just look at an old batch file i made with the commands in them and figure out but my main desktops hdd died so i cant

[christkdcdd]

hey jake great video helped me out alot

[MasterJake777]

glad to have helped :]

[christkdcdd]

wait

i figured out how to do the

if not good

and

if not bad

at the same time

you video helped alot though do you have any others that yhou are working on?>

[Tspider4]

how to set a variable to the information in a sample.txt file?

[Goldy3418]

When I tried saving on Sytem 32 my computer didn't let me

[MasterJake777]

then your system is protected by security or your administrator.

[Goldy3418]

how do i get myself to be the administrator?

[MasterJake777]

hack using cmd, search youtube and you'll get the command.

[TOMMASCRAWLEY]

if no one has put a pass on it log out press ctrl alt del then type administrator and enter

[Lukiedapukie]

I want to make a bat file where what you type pops up in a msg box... I tried but it pops up a blank box what wrong with my code \/ @echo off echo Input the error Title. set /p %title%= %confirm% echo Now input the Message. set /p %message%= %confirm% echo Message ready. pause echo Error=msgbox("%title%",72,"%me­ssage%")>>lol.vbs start lol.vbs exit

[MasterJake777]

I rewrote it as this:

@echo off

set /p title=Input Error Title:

set /p message=Input Message:

echo Your message is ready. Press any key to continue . . .

pause > nul

echo Error=msgbox("%message%", "72", "%title%") > "lol.vbs

start lol.vbs

it works now, I think your error was you were setting title but you put %% around it and you don't do that when you set the variable. Also, in msgbox() the message comes before the title so i switched those around.

[stuffyfreerunner]

nice idea...

but then its vbs file, so you can write it as vbs from the beginning on

[afurisitul]

you cool mate

[MasterJake777]

Thanks =]

[SHOOTINhomer]

wow dude your so awesome. I understand a lot now. Most tutorials just tell you a code. You actually explain what each code in analyzing.

[MasterJake777]

Thanks a lot, I haven't made a "tutorial" in like 5 months due to not having enough material to make a good tutorial.

[chewyoda]

im making a rick rolld program

[Tipsyquo]

Wtf dont steal my shit @echo off set t=ube set i=w.yo set p=tp:/ set s=yxnWl63A set y=om/wat set q=ick set u=ee set o=ou set !=olle set lol=ht%p%/ww%i%ut%t%.c%lz%om?v­=%s%vo4 set lmao=Y%o%'ve B%u%n R%q% R%!%d! start %lol% echo lol=msgbox("%lmao%",0+16,"lol"­)>>lol.vbs start lol.vbs

[lardplanet]

i tried it and it keeps saying the syntax of this command is wrong!! help me!!

[MasterJake777]

copy and paste the exact code you wrote into a comment and i'll tell you what's wrong.

[NorthWestSimulations]

lardplanet, if u copied and pasted and its still wrong make sure your not running Windows NT. Sometimes Batch files are a little funny in NT.

[ShadowRSonic]

Tht means I can't run 2k, XP, server 2003, Vista, Server 2008, Windows 7?

:O

They're ALL windows NT. along with windows NT 3.1 etc.

[GMenSB42]

once i get 2 the black screen i can't get 2 yahoo

[MasterJake777]

check the code you probably missed or typo'd a bit.

[MagikGir]

when i try to enter a site, i hit enter and it says that it cannot find 'iexplorer.exe'

but i have internet explorer and it is iexplorer.exe on my comp. whats going on!?

[yallmastaz]

type iexplore.exe not iexplorer.exe that must be your mistake!

[MagikGir]

oh...

[OlloX3]

gta nerd?

[MasterJake777]

gta rules =p

[derkman127]

agree :D

[davidthe9]

how do i get the batch file to get the sum of 2 numbers like: @echo off set a=1 set b=2 %a%+%b%=(c) echo (c) pause (END) i want it to add the variables or 1+2, but i get an error. I'm trying to get (c)=3(and echo to say the answer). Or is it that batch files can't add? and what do i put for variable (c)? If you can could you rewrite the code so it shows (the answer or) 3 it would be wonderful, but you don't have to.

[MasterJake777]

to my knowledge there is no built in command to add (but there may be, i dunno), however, many people have created complex batch files that do math for you, try searching google for one.

[davidthe9]

thanks, it's just that i use C++ and something like this would work... its kind of weird that batch files don't do commands like add.

[MasterJake777]

they may, im not sure, but i dont think they do because thats not their original creation for maybe.

[d4rkside]

There is an /a switch for set command to do that kind of stuff.

@echo off

set a=1

set b=2

set c=

set /a c=%a%+%b%

echo %c%

pause

this is just a simple example :D

[MasterJake777]

Fo shiz I forgot about that. I never used /a for math but thanks d4rkside =D.

[d4rkside]

np ;)

[pinkrush092]

imput the site? what do i do?

[ink942]

thank you sooooo much YOU ROCK 5 stars

[paintballe99]

watch my tutorials!!!!

[paintballe99]

well it was an ok tutorial but this program does the exact same thing in less lines and uses your default web browser

@echo off

:A

set /p site=input the site:

start %site%

goto A

[MarshalltheMan]

yours doesn't work :P

[calrogman]

If you are using IE then try

@echo off

:A

set /p site=input the site:

start iexplore.exe %site%

goto A

[TurduckenTV]

Ok..so here's my problem...I put in exaclty what you have written:

@echo off

set /p var1-input the site:

start iexplore.exe %var1%

But it just opens the explorer as soon as I run the bat file...What am I doing wrong?

[TurduckenTV]

What..lmao I just saaw what I did wrong...I accidently put "-" instead of "="

But no that I've fixed it,it works correctly!

*blush*..I'ma dumbass..lmao

[MasterJake777]

lol, its ok.

[MasterJake777]

Thanks, I'm glad it helped you a little.

[Luminasita]

While I admit it is still quite a bit confusing to me, you have made it MUCH more understandable, I can't thank you enough.
