I know I must be making a simple syntax mistake, but I want to have a windows batch file that fires up 9 instances of R and runs a different routine in each one. I want these to run simultaneously (i.e. asynchronously). I can fire up 9 command prompt windows and type a command in each one, but it seems like with the START command I shoul...
I have never been a fan of the windows command line. I have tried tools like powercmd and liked them, but most are not distributed for free and I don't relish the thought of paying for something that I think I could write myself. I want to write my own command line wrapper similar to powercmd that allows for these properties: Custom fo...
I would post a snippet, but I honestly have no idea what part of my code could possibly be doing this. The program is sizable, I don't want to make you all wade through it.

I have a script that pings a list of computers and tells me if I can be reached. For each computer I would like it to display whether or not it was reached on the command prompt, not as a pop-up message. I did Wscript.Echo, but it does a pop-up for each computer so it's really annoying to have to click OK over a 100 times. How can I mak...

In other o/s RSpec returns nicely coloured results (red, green etc). However in the windows (Vista) command prompt my text output is just plain old boring white. How can I bring colour to my RSpec test results? Thanks Evolve ...
Hello, I'm a Notepad++ user. One of the features I like from that software is the fact that you can have a "console" in the UI (which is not an actual terminal), and that you can run some command line interpreters from there. FYI, to get the console running in Notepad++, you need to have the NppExec plugin installed, and then go to Men...
