The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Batch debugging: Step line-by-line

Asked by Jay-Jay in MS DOS

I am looking for a solution that will work under Windows 2000 and XP.
I can find a solution for NT4 and Win95/98 but they don't work any longer under 2k/xp

What am I searching?
*A tool, a parameter, another batch, a batch solution,.... to open another batch and process each line, waiting for a user action afterwards (for example enter or Y)
So he needs to execute the line, or the commands within, and then wait before going on with the next line.
Why? For debugging a very very large batch (following up registry execution and changes, timings,....)

What have I tried?
*the old command.com /c /Y trick which is no longer available
*%comspec% /c the same
*using a for loop to process the entire batch, putting a pause after each line and creating a new batch. But this doesn't work because he will try to fill in all the parameters and variables already, which is not good.
For example if a line in the batch includes %computername% it will be filled in when I use it in another for-loop to echo it into another batch.

Setting a pause manually between each line is not an option, the batch itself is over 15000 lines :)
So if anyone has a suggestion to paste each line litteraly (without changes, %variables% must not be filled in) into another batch and adding pause in between, would be already great. A parameter to start an command-line window with this possibility would even be better. And a tool is also good.

Anyone any suggestions?
