There is also the EDLIN command. While it may be an old bastard tool once used for line-based text editing, the fact that it's controllable from the command line makes it rather useful for batch scripting, mostly because, just like any other case you'd be using EDLIN, it's the only tool available. After all, EDLIN is not a tool you would ordinarily want to use for text editing, unless you are somewhat masochistic. To quote Tim Patterson (the fellow who wrote it): "I was aghast when I heard that IBM was using it and not throwing it out the window."

注意:EDLIN将老式的EOF (1A)标记添加到它编辑的文件中。如果需要删除它们，可能必须使用DEBUG。

可以使用errorlevel检查批处理文件将要运行的系统(当前目录或路径)上是否存在给定的程序。为了让测试的程序正常运行，退出并设置退出码。在这个例子中，我用了-?作为myExe的参数，大多数CLI程序都有类似的参数，如-h，——help， -v等…这确保它只是运行并退出，并将错误级别设置为0

myExe -? >nul 2>&1 
Set errCode=%errorlevel%
@if %errCode% EQU 0 (
    echo myExe -? does not return an error (exists)
) ELSE (
    echo myExe -? returns an error (does not exist)
)

是的，你可以直接测试errorlevel，而不是将其分配给errCode，但是这样你就可以在测试和条件之间使用命令，并根据需要反复测试条件。

抽取随机的文本行

@echo off

for /f %%a in ('time /t') do set zD1=%%a



:: Get last digit of MM

set zD2=%zD1:~4,1%



:: Seed the randomizer, if needed

if not defined zNUM1 set /a zNUM1=%zD2%

set /a zNUM2=zNUM1 ^>^> 16 ^& 0x7fff


:: Pull off the first digit

:: (Last digit would be better, but it's late, and I'm tired)

set zIDX=%zNUM2:~0,1%


:: Map it down to 0-3

set /a zIDX=zIDX/3


:: Finally, we can set do some proper initialization

set /a zIIDX=0

set zLO=

set zLL=""


:: Step through each line in the file, looking for line zIDX

for /f "delims=@" %%a in (c:\lines.txt) do call :zoo  %zIDX%  %%a

使用pushd到UNC路径将创建一个临时驱动器映射(从Z开始，向后查找下一个可用的字母)，并将您放入该驱动器和路径中。弹出或退出命令提示符时，临时映射将消失。

   C:\>pushd \\yourmom\jukebox

   Z:\>pushd \\yourmom\business

   Y:\>

此外，与其说这是一个批处理技巧，不如说这是一个命令行环境技巧，但是当您在命令行上使用pushd和popd和网络共享时，使用$+(显示pushd堆栈深度)和$M(显示网络共享路径)修改提示符是有用的。

   C:\utils>prompt $+$m$p$g

   C:\utils>pushd m:

   +\\yourmom\pub M:\>pushd c:\

   ++c:\>pushd
   M:\
   C:\utils  

   ++c:\>popd

   +\\yourmom\pub M:\>popd

   C:\utils>
