You again

With all those questions about batch file you had lately, you're going to raise your knowledge.

Don't forget search button and Google are your friend and reading others batches can help a lot either.


5 seconds countdown

@echo off
echo this window closes in 5 seconds
echo.
echo 5
ping -n 2 127.0.0.1>nul
echo 4
ping -n 2 127.0.0.1>nul
echo 3
ping -n 2 127.0.0.1>nul
echo 2
ping -n 2 127.0.0.1>nul
echo 1
ping -n 2 127.0.0.1>nul

pause

I am not a coder but here what i worked out.

echo off
cls && mode con: Cols=55 Lines=5 && Color 9f && TITLE COUNTDOWN
 > Rest1.vbs Echo Wscript.sleep 875 && SET R1=Start /w Rest1.vbs
CLS
ECHO. && Echo .5 && ECHO COUNTDOWN 5 >> Test.txt && %R1% && CLS && ECHO. && Echo ..4 && ECHO COUNTDOWN 4 >> Test.txt &&  %R1% && CLS
ECHO. && Echo ...3 && ECHO COUNTDOWN 3 >> Test.txt &&  %R1% && CLS && ECHO. && ECHO ....2 && ECHO COUNTDOWN 2 >> Test.txt &&  %R1%
CLS && ECHO. && ECHO .....1 && ECHO COUNTDOWN 1 >> Test.txt &&  %R1% && CLS && COLOR F2
ECHO. && ECHO  CONTINUE >> Test.txt
SET /P = CONTINUE
DEL REST1.VBS && Test.txt
DEL Test.txt

Nice coding.

How would I get it to exit instead of continue ?

Thanks.

You may find the following fun!

@MODE CON: COLS=32 LINES=1
@COLOR E5
@TITLE Countdown
@ECHO OFF
SETLOCAL ENABLEEXTENSIONS ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION
FOR /F %%# IN ('COPY /Z "%~dpf0" NUL') DO SET "CR=%%#"
FOR /L %%# IN (10,-1,1) DO (SET/P "=Script will end in %%# seconds. !CR!"<NUL:
	PING -n 2 127.0.0.1 >NUL:)

The first three lines are pointless additions which can be removed, change the 10 in the second 'FOR loop' to the number of seconds you wish to count down from.

On Windows 7 they have a exe called Timeout

Quote

Description:
This utility accepts a timeout parameter to w
time period (in seconds) or until any key is
accepts a parameter to ignore the key press.

Parameter List:
    /T        timeout       Specifies the number of seconds to wait.
                            Valid range is -1 to 99999 seconds.

    /NOBREAK                Ignore key presses and wait specified time.

    /?                      Displays this help message.

 NOTE: A timeout value of -1 means to wait indefinitely for a key press.

Examples:
    TIMEOUT /?
    TIMEOUT /T 10
    TIMEOUT /T 300 /NOBREAK
    TIMEOUT /T -1

Just change the last line of my above example to read:

	>NUL TIMEOUT /T 1)

Here's a wait animation I wrote a while back, Only it's not based on a countdown:

@ECHO OFF
SETLOCAL ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION
SET /A numtimes=3
FOR /L %%G in (1,1,%numtimes%) DO (
	CALL :WaitDisplay "Please Wait"
)
CLS
ECHO Done! Press any key to finish...

PAUSE > NUL & GOTO :EOF

:WaitDisplay
SET string=%1
SET string=%string:"=%
SET dots=...

FOR /l %%G in (1,1,3) DO (
	CLS
	ECHO !string!!dots:~0,%%G!
	PING localhost -n 2 -w 500 -l 5000 > NUL
)
