Solve : complicated question? |

Answer» ok, here's the thing, perhaps anoyne in amerika looks to the tv serie lost (www.lost.abc.com). In the "hatch" there is a computer where you have to enter a code correctly and on time every 108 minutes... I was wondering if it is possible to do such thing in batch to. This is what the batch should do: The only thing I can think of is using the shutdown prompt, and just changing the amount of time you have. not such bad idea, but than i still don't have, the thing if you enter the code that it don't shut down. Anybody other ideas?You really need something other than a batch file for this. A HTML Application (HTA) would be a likely solution; the window object has a setinterval method that might be helpful. The problem here is you need two threads (windows) which need some common point of communication. You ask for a dinky batch solution, so I put forth dinky: Boom.bat Code: [Select]@echo off echo 0 > boom.txt set count=0 :tag sleep 1 for /f %%i in (boom.txt) do ( call set /a count=%%i+1 if %count%==6480 ( echo Boom! goto :eof ) else ( echo %count% > boom.txt ) ) goto tag Code.bat Code: [Select]@echo off start boom :tag set /p var=Enter Code: if .%var%==.8 (echo 0 > boom.txt) goto tag PS. If you need a copy of sleep, try Google for a standalone copy or download the Win2003 Resource Kit.Quote You really need something other than a batch file for this. A HTML Application (HTA) would be a likely solution; the window object has a setinterval method that might be helpful. i tried a few things out but i don't really understand what the codes does. when i use the script (i open code.bat) i get two dos screens, one whit enter code and another that does nothing, you can't type in it. When i enter 8 nothing seems to happen. And when I enter a code nothing happens.... What i tried to get was: counting from 108 till zero. If you enter the CORRECT code (the number example at the 70th minute, it recounts from 108 till zero, and so one. If you enter the WRONG code, it says immediately boom OR if you enter the code not at time (not within the 108 minutes) it says boom too. so perhaps i do something wrong, because the things i want doens't seems to work, can you help me pleas... greetz blackberry Code: [Select]@echo off start boom :tag set /p var=Enter Code: if .%var%==.8 (echo 0 > boom.txt) else (echo 6479 > boom.txt) goto tag FYI: Most scripting languages can do date/time arithmetic; batch cannot. Instead of counting down, it's easier to count up to a predetermined number (60*108 with a 1 second delay between increments). Hope this helps. 8-)There might be an easier way to do this but here is what I have. You have to use 2 batch files. The code to restart the countdown is 4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42, RUN this batch file to start the countdown Code: [Select]@echo off TITLE Lost Menu start countdown.bat :MENU CLS Echo Enter in code set /p code= echo %code% >%temp%\entercode GOTO MENU Countdown batch file Code: [Select]@echo off :start SET thecode=0 IF EXIST %temp%\entercode del %temp%\entercode SET D=8 SET T=0 SET H=1 GOTO COUNTDOWN :BEGIN IF EXIST %temp%\entercode FOR /F "tokens=1* delims=" %%A IN ('TYPE %temp%\entercode ^| findstr /I "4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42,"') do set thecode=1 if "%thecode%"=="1" GOTO START IF "%COUNT%"=="099" GOTO DIGITS IF "%COUNT%"=="009" GOTO DIGITS IF "%COUNT%"=="100" set COUNT=099 IF "%COUNT%"=="010" set COUNT=009 IF "%COUNT%"=="099" GOTO 1SKIP IF "%COUNT%"=="009" GOTO 1SKIP :DIGITS IF "%COUNT%"=="099" SET H=0 IF "%COUNT%"=="099" SET T=9 IF "%COUNT%"=="099" SET D=9 IF "%COUNT%"=="009" SET T=0 IF "%COUNT%"=="009" SET D=9 IF %D%==0 goto TENS if %D%==1 set D=0 if %D%==2 set D=1 if %D%==3 set D=2 if %D%==4 set D=3 if %D%==5 set D=4 if %D%==6 set D=5 if %D%==7 set D=6 if %D%==8 set D=7 if %D%==9 set D=8 goto COUNTDOWN :TENS if %D%==0 SET D=9 if %T%==1 set T=0 if %T%==2 set T=1 if %T%==3 set T=2 if %T%==4 set T=3 if %T%==5 set T=4 if %T%==6 set T=5 if %T%==7 set T=6 if %T%==8 set T=7 if %T%==9 set T=8 if %T%==0 set T=9 goto COUNTDOWN :COUNTDOWN SET COUNT=%H%%T%%D% Title Minutes Remianing %count% IF %COUNT%==000 GOTO BAD :1SKIP cls echo Time Remaining %count% ping -n 2 127.0.0.1 >NUL GOTO BEGIN :BAD CLS Echo You are too late Process's are set in motion pause EXITForgot change the Ping statement to 60 seconds ping -n 60 127.0.0.1 >NUL If you use sleep.exe it is a little more accurate at counting. Quote There might be an easier way to do this but here is what I have. You have to use 2 batch files. The code to restart the countdown is 4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42, fantastic code, but... if you enter the code wrong, nothing happens, and it should happen something. But thanx for the code yet! another problem that i like to be solved, is if you just enter 4, 8, it recounts to, so is it possible that you have enter correctly the exactly combination, nothing else To make it require the exact code change the findstr. This will make it require the exact passcode Code: [Select]IF EXIST %temp%\entercode FOR /F "tokens=1* delims=" %%A IN ('TYPE %temp%\entercode ^| findstr /I /C:"4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42,"') do set thecode=1 Insert the line below after this lineif "%thecode%"=="1" GOTO START This if they enter the wrong code. Code: [Select]IF EXIST %temp%\entercode GOTO Wrong then add this to the bottom of the file Code: [Select]:wrong cls Echo. Echo You Entered in the worng cade, That was a bad mistake. echo. pause Have funQuote To make it require the exact code change the findstr. bad code, it doesn't work! nothing happens if you enter the wrong code, beside it should be possible if you just enter 4, 8 that is shows the message too, because 4, 8 is just a part of the code and is wrong, does anybody knows an other solution Aren't you being a bit unreasonable? Two solutions have been offered and all the feedback we've gotten is "it doesn't work" or "I don't understand the code" or "this is what I want". It doesn't help that the SPECIFICATIONS keep changing with each post. You already know quite a bit. You know you need two threads, you have two different techniques for implementing a timer, and you have enough code to choke a horse. All you need to do is put it together. The best way to learn is by doing. 8-) Please don't post back with one your more colorful "*censored* is your problem?" comments. We've seen it all before. I only come here for the entertainment, I am never disappointed. Quote Aren't you being a bit unreasonable?

It doesn't help that the specifications keep changing with each post. lol first of all i only use the such sentences like *censored* is your problem for peoples who really iritate me, just posting here some crap or want to make VIRUSES, or who thinks they have the right to SCOLD to someone (mostly that last reason). now second, when I read you message it looks like you think that I don't appreciate at all the help the people gave me. That is a totaly wrong vision, I really appreciate the help people gives me, but with my last post I was a bit disappointed that it didn't worked... So I asked (perhaps on a bit impolite way) if he -or anybode else- knew an other solution. and my thirth and last point on your text, you say you have enough code to choke a horse..... i'm here for learning and yes i learned a lot yet, but you can't expect that if you post a totaly strange code for me, that I understand it within the minute... I am still busy to decipher it.. and if you think that it isn't so hard, whell you can take my work over as seen you can understand everything in two minutes. By monday I would like to have some calculatings for my house that i'm designing now (i'm an architect) |
