I’m curious as to why that actually works. That will bug me the rest of the day now. :-/ Time for more research!

@Bryan,

Interestingly, I figured out I needed a /OUTPUT:c:\somefile.txt in my WMIC call… *sigh* I realized this AFTER a day of screwing around. I decided to run a dir /b /s c:\ and pipe it to a temp file then re-read it with for loop. THAT worked so I knew something fishy was going on with WMIC since SS64 mentioned problems with WMIC output and FOR-LOOPS in DOS. *shrug*

I posted my final quick-rendition of what I’m working on for a Proof of Concept to my whole idea that I have thought about today.

http://www.techish.net/files/rjkscan.zip – 2 files; rjkscan.cmd and md5sum.exe

I don’t put a lot of thought into these code snippets as I usually tend to just whip them up so I can prove an idea I’m having or get some instant gratification. ;-)

The do programming is just something I don’t do. (pun not intended) Old Basic (real old!) programmer here. Evidently I have good cause:

@echo off
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion

: NOTE: (http://ss64.com/nt/for_f.html)
: Many of the newer commands and utilities (e.g. WMIC) output text files in unicode format, these cannot be read by the FOR
: command which expects ASCII.
:
: To convert the file format use the TYPE command.

wmic process get executablepath /format:list|findstr /I /M /C:”C:” >TEMP
type TEMP > TEMP.TXT

for /F “tokens=2 delims==” %%i in (TEMP.TXT) do call :whatsit “%%i”
goto :eof
:whatsit
: This is what gets outputted:
: “C:\Windows\System32\smss.exe”
: “C:\WINDOWS\system32\csrss.exe”
: “C:\WINDOWS\system32\winlogon.exe”
: No missing end quote!
echo %1

Works for me. Hope this helps. :)

Hey, just thinking this could probably be simplified with the use of localhost.

Since you’re sharing the USB port of the same computer which requires the LPT I could see simply:

net use LPT1 \\localhost\PrinterName /persistent:yes

Thus allowing to skip the process of checking your computer name/spelling.

(works here on Windows 7, Windows 7 requires that CMD is run as admin for this operation.)
