Bat/Cmd Scripts - notes and features

• Underwhelmed/Overwhelmed? gist nibbles

Most scripts are agnostic to delayedExpansion, should be able to use !

• ah.fu.cmd -- Grossly overengineered process killer which reads a conf file to change behavior
  • eph.u.conf -- dubbed "process-hitlist" is an example of a conf for ah.fu.cmd
• compactor.cmd -- wrapper around the windows binary compact.exe to compress/uncompress files via the NTFS filesystem
  • Can walk down a directory tree and uncompress all files with a 1.0 ratio
  • Full args parse

    compactor -i C:\Windows\Temp\PowerPlan.log -u
    compactor.cmd:unCompressExtensions: 05/28/18 23:28:34: PowerPlan.log: 0 files within 1 directories were uncompressed.
    
    compactor -i C:\Windows\Temp\PowerPlan.log -z
    compactor.cmd:unCompressRedundant: 05/28/18 23:28:47: PowerPlan.log: 0 files within 1 directories were uncompressed.
    
    compactor -i C:\Windows\Temp -r -e .log -c
    compactor.cmd:CompressExtensions: 05/28/18 23:31:13: C:\Windows\Temp\HighPerformancePlan.log: The compression ratio is 1.8 to 1.
    compactor.cmd:CompressExtensions: 05/28/18 23:31:14: C:\Windows\Temp\PowerPlan.log: The compression ratio is 1.0 to 1.
    compactor.cmd:CompressExtensions: 05/28/18 23:31:14: C:\Windows\Temp\vmware-SYSTEM\vmware-usbarb-1111.log: The compression ratio is 1.2 to 1.
    compactor.cmd:CompressExtensions: 05/28/18 23:31:15: C:\Windows\Temp\vmware-SYSTEM\vmware-usbarb-2222.log: The compression ratio is 1.2 to 1.
    compactor.cmd:CompressExtensions: 05/28/18 23:31:15: C:\Windows\Temp\vmware-SYSTEM-123456789\vmware-usbarb-3333.log: The compression ratio is 1.5 to 1.
    compactor.cmd:CompressExtensions: 05/28/18 23:31:16: C:\Windows\Temp\vmware-SYSTEM-123456789\vmware-usbarb-4444.log: The compression ratio is 1.1 to 1.

• duration.cmd -- calculates execution duration and dumps summary
  • simple calling syntax such as: duration.cmd timeout /t 5
  • dumps results/summary as a json object. Specific data/information is toggled via variables
  • no external dependencies required, but uses these standard windows binaries when found:
    • cmd.exe: launches command(s) as subprocess of cmd.exe
    • timeout.exe: optional script execution sleep
    • w32tm.exe: supplies timezone and DST
• elevate -- self-elevate scripts, functions and examples using "bunction" labels
  • elevate/elevate.cmd -- elevates all passed arguments or starts a elevated cmd console
  • elevate/elvn.cmd -- self-elevate using "bunction" oneliner; detection via "net session"
  • elevate/elvc.cmd -- self-elevate using "bunction" oneliner; detection via "calcs"
• fLines.cmd -- prints file line counts using native find.exe
  • runs fairly quick
  • when directory, prints line counts for all the normal files in that directory
  • simple syntax:

    flines.cmd "%SystemRoot%\DirectX.log" C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CBS.log
    13967 : C:\Windows\DirectX.log
    6431 : C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CBS.log

• gmt.cmd -- Display the current date and time in GMT (World Time).
  • queries wmic for time information
  • This is a simplified/modified version. Original script/code: ss64.com

    gmt.cmd
    2018-07-21 13:54:07

• gstr.cmd -- batch native random string genarator.
  • to generate 10 strings: for /l %Z in (1,1,10) do gstr.cmd
  • to generate 3 strings, 12, 15, 50 characters: gstr.cmd 12 15 50
• h2p.cmd -- grabs pdfs of url address using "wkhtmltopdf.exe".
  • Code has been mostly scrubbed and unused functions have been removed.
  • Names pdf file with urlstring+currentdateStamp
  • ASCII encoded URL names decoded for auto-filename generator
  • Support for special characters in URL namespace
• hhmmss.cmd -- Converts time: from total-seconds into hh:mm:ss notation - "Complete Edition"
• hhmmss.min.cmd -- Converts time: from total-seconds into hh:mm:ss notation - without all the "tard" code
• lazyJson.bat - Prints all key/value pairs to console

    example of a "working" json object: 
        echo/{ "myVariable" : "some kind of string or integer" }> lzj.json
        
        lazyJson.bat lzj.json
        "myVariable=some kind of string or integer"

        
    Usage: lazyJson.bat Summer\atLake\Jason.json  "SomeFile OuttaSpace.json"    fail3.json
    Prints all key/value pairs to console
    TL;DR -- NEEDS to have a whitespace on AT LEAST ONE side of the colon.  Each key/value pair needs to be on a separate line
      Note:
        a space before/after a colon, and brackets -- { "key" : "value" }
        \n and \r\n are considered end-of-key-value
        makes no distinction between an [array] and {key:value} and considers \r\n[array]\r\n as a valueless key
        commas outside double-quotes are ignored

• md5.cmd -- hashes files and directories with optional recursion, unicode and logging options
• mvlinks.bat -- Recursively moves directory tree
  • Moves all: files, directories and hardlinks
  • Recreates hardlinked files during move.
  • Unhide/Rehide objects during move.
  • For now, requires sysinternals "findlinks.exe" to expose all hardlinks.
  • DOES NOT remove the old tree on purpose
  • DOES NOT move/update junctions or symlinks
• pidArray.cmd -- uses tasklist.exe to print full/matched processList -- "pid" : "processName.ext"
  • Simple FIFO ArgsParse
    • optionally prefixed keynames: /?, -v, \h, --help, version
    • parameters used as processname filters, see tasklist

• pidme.cmd -- Launches command and returns it's PID using powershell
• raw2res.bat -- Uses ffmpeg.exe to duplicate same images with different base heights
  • depends on ffmpeg.exe
• slength.cmd -- Uses findstr.exe to calculate length of a string or the length of a variable's value
  • slen.cmd -- minimized version of slength.cmd
  • slength.cmd: string and variable examples:

    slength.cmd "this is my super long string"
    28
    
    set "abc=0123456789"
    slength.cmd abc
    10

• subExport.bat -- Uses ffmpeg.exe dump/export/save all textbased subtitles from video containers (like .mkv)
  • depends on ffmpeg.exe
  • dump/clean ffmpeg subtitle error/export log files
  • no support for image-based subtitles
  • simple/efficient/robust args parser
  • simple file extension and subtitle type filtering
  • saves files as {vidoeFileName.extension}.{langId}.{streamId}.{subExtension}
    • when langId is undefined, uses 'und' as langId
    • creates the following subtitle files FOR EACH streamId: .ass, .srt, .vtt
  • default path recursion. Unable to change this behavior at the moment. Not super efficient, but works.
• RemoveEmpties.bat -- Removes Empty Files/SubDirectories from the defaulted/given path(s)
  • My use-case: remove leftover files/dirs from the temp directories
  • determines whether file is empty (by file size)
  • determines whether directory is empty. This detection is somewhat slow at the moment, I may improve the detection at a later date.

• unixTime.bat -- returns the current system time as unix time (01/01/1970 )
  • Adjusts to system timezone and DST (or any other time adjustments registered with windows)
  • Returns unixTime in Seconds OR milliseconds, option defined in 'user settings' inside the script
  • Auto calculates leap-year(s)
  • Optimized for quick execution. Runs 30%-50% faster when all comments/empty lines are removed
• unixTimeFull.bat -- returns the current system time as unix time (01/01/1970 )
  • Same as unixTime.bat, but without the optimizations.
  • Uses functions for further customization
• uptime.cmd -- returns system uptime
  • depends on wmic for boot and current time
  • quick customized output behavior (based on variables in the User Config section)
