I need a small script to download some programs. The URL's never change but the files do. Like when you download malwarebytes. Example: "https://downloads.malwarebytes.com/file/mbam_current/" The address doesnt change but the file name downloaded does. Every script i see, requires that you specify a file name. I dont want to do that, I want the script to pull the filename from the sites header which would include the version name of that file in that filename. I cant seem to find any way of doin...

Is it possible to batch rename a series of files and keep the original extensions in a sequence? For example, if you had the files in a directory: dogfile1.jpg, wolffile493.png, and dogfile59.jpg and wanted to rename them: dog1.jpg, dog2.png, dog3.jpg I saw you can use this to batch rename but it renames it to the extension you select (ex. jpg): $nr=1 Dir | %{Rename-Item $_ -NewName (‘NewFile{0}.jpg’ -f $nr++)} Let's block ads! بخوانید...

I'm trying to create a Powershell script that watches a folder for new MP3 files and converts them to M4A format using FFMPEG and FDK AAC encoder. Since fdkaac.exe won't take MP3 files as input, I use this command, which pipes from ffmpeg: ffmpeg -i $path -f caf - | fdkaac -p5 -b64 - -o $outfolder$outname.m4a This works just fine if I enter it into a command prompt and the resulting M4A file that's generated has no problems. However if I run this from Powershell, the M4A file is created but co...

I have a batch file that I am making as a little joke for my friend. It's supposed to make a batch file in the startup folder that opens the youtube link to a rick roll. My problem is that whenever I run it, it opens an empty command prompt. It still runs the code you see bellow, and it also opens the youtube link like it should and it closes both normal windows normally. Here's the code. @echo off cd C:Users%useame%AppDataRoamingMicrosoftWindowsStart MenuProgramsStartup echo @echo off > star...

I'm trying to zip every file in a directory but I can't seem to get it to use the directory or the old file name. It needs to delete the old file so that it's protected in the zip file.

I am attempting to isolate all numbers and letters that are not 9 in my example below. RHB|1|9 After some research I feel like I am getting close, though the "|" seem to make things difficult when using Regex.

I am using a specialist java application which is used in my field (geology). The way I have written my batch files up until now is to take one CSV file at a time and access and process that data. But now I have put all the data from each CSV into one CSV file (with each dataset being represented in two adjacent columns). I want to take the first two columns, process that data in the java application and then output the results in a pdf. I want to iterate through the entire CSV (2 columns at a t...

How do I delay batch files in between commands, with say a once second delay, or even less? I've tried using the ping null command, but it never seems too work for me? ping 127.0.0.1 -n 1 > null But it never seems too work. Is there another - yet easier way too do this? Thanks.

I want to create a Windows Batch file which works like this: Run an exe with specified arguments. Wait for the complete execution of this exe. (This EXE is essentially recording an online video stream and is supposed to record it for 1 hour 5 minutes) If, however, exe exits (stops recording & exits execution) before the stipulated time period (1 hour 5 minutes), execute the same exe with different argument for the remaining duration. Kill the EXE execution when the total time period (includi...

I have a VM on my network setup as a gateway that I use sometimes, while most of the time I just leave my PCs configured to use DHCP and just have everything go through the router. I had been swapping back and forth manual through the connection properties form but I've decided to try and make PowerShell scripts to simplify the process. I also disable IPv6 when routing through the VM, but reenable it when I use DHCP. To switch to using the VM as a Gateway I use this: # Get the adapter to change...

Every so often, my Quick Launch toolbar disappears. It might be when my laptop completely runs out of battery (e.g. while asleep) and even the CMOS time is zeroed. Or it might be certain Windows updates, I'm not sure. It'd be nice if I could write a BATCH script that does what I manually do, which is going to New Toolbar > %appdata%MicrosoftInteet ExplorerQuick Launch, disabling "Show Text" and "Show Title," and switching to small icons. I don't know if any of that is possible via automation,...
