Windows 10: Batch variables are not output?

Hello everybody

I have written the following script:

Un this also works if Z is larger than S but if S is larger, then at the end Z times "ECHO is switched off (OFF)".

does anyone have any idea what might be causing this?

How to output day of week to variable in batch


DATE /T shows the date, not day of the week. You need WMIC command to get the day of the week:

Code:

Code:

wmic path win32_localtime get dayofweek

The output will be a number from 1 to 7, 1 being either Sunday or Monday depending on what is your local setting, if the first day of the week is Sunday or Monday. In my case, European system and Monday as the first day of the week, the command shown in above screenshot (yellow highlight) gave just now the output (green highlight) as 5 (Friday).

Batch: Unexpected Variable Results in Subroutine

An answer to a previous question suggests this FOR line. Now I am trying to use the variable. My batch script at present:

The output from this script is seven iterations of this:

The subroutine seems to be doing something to the variable. Because when I substitute these lines:

I get the desired result: six pairs of output of this nature:

where the tilde removes the quotation marks, as expected.

In the first code sample, the production of seven (not six) pairs of output lines suggests that the subroutine may be disregarding the quotation marks, rendering "3D" and "Objects" as two separate items -- which was an issue addressed in the previous question.

I starting tinkering with the subroutine approach because I was having problems achieving a certain outcome using the simpler approach presented in the second code sample (above). Possibly delayed expansion would fix that, but at the cost of additional complexity. Not to deny that the subroutine's "goto :eof" line is also a little confusing, even if it does work.

My specific question is, what's going wrong with the variable, when used in the subroutine? But if there is a better way, I would also appreciate at least a link in that direction.
