Windows 10: Batch Script Adding a Period . to File Name

Hi, I am testing a script to find the last file within a folder.It can locate the correct file, but the resulting variable includes a period . within the file name.Here's the script:REM Copy the recent Friday evening's Diff Backup onto the drive G: My Passport device.@echo onset srcDir=F:\Backup\Differential Backupset destdir=G:\My Passport\Differential Backupcd /d F:\Backup\Differential BackupFOR /f %f IN 'DIR /b /od *.zip' DO @SET last=%fecho The most recently created file is %last%:::echo "%last" ::::eofpauseThis is the Windows Command results:Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.19045.3448

Batch file needs tweaking

I've been using AviSynth for deinterlacing and tetelecining TV series lately, and in the process I have to write many scripts for each episode. I've found a batch file that pretty much automates this, but there is one issue. For example, if my source file is "Monk s01e01.mkv", the script the batch file gives me is named "Monk s01e01.mkv.avs". As the files AviSynth produces go by the name of the AVS script, if I processed the script with that name, the resulting file would be "Monk s01e01.mkv.avi". I need to get the .mkv part out of the .avs script the batch file produces. This is the batch file:

Code: for %%n in (*.mkv*) do ( echo setmtmode(5,4^) > "%%n.avs" echo ffmpegsource2("%%n"^) >> "%%n.avs" echo setmtmode(2^) >> "%%n.avs" echo qtgmc(edithreads=2^) >> "%%n.avs" echo selecteven(^) >> "%%n.avs" )[/quote] So, any way to get the .mkv out of the files produced by this batch file? It really beats having to write a script for each episode individually.

 

Creating Shortcuts with Batch File

Tried both of the VB Scripts that you provided and adding the 9 switch to the batch file but neither was able to create a shortcut to my desktop.

 

Run the audio troubleshooter from a batch script

I have an automated home theatre setup - a batch script that enables my TV as a display, and changes the TV to be my primary display (so games and apps open on my TV instead of my monitor).

The same script also changes my default audio device to be the TV.

The problem is every time I turn off my TV, it disappears from the list of audio output devices in Windows 10, and even when I turn it back on, it does not appear in the list. However, if I RIGHT CLICK on the audio icon and select "troubleshoot sound problems"
and immediately cancel/close the troubleshooter, the TV is automagically added to my list of output devices.

My question is - is there any way to have this troubleshooter be launched from a batch script and instantly closed? Alternatively, is there a way to force a refresh of the audio devices through a batch script?
