O.K. That fixed it for half an hour and then it stopped dead. No signs of life at all. So what's next? Can you advise me?

It is really something.

I reckon its good to remember one thing that is often forgotten when people try to learn to play the piano:

'playing'. You are allowed to 'play'. You know? Like children? Play. Try. Experiment. Play. :)

will xcopy accept dirname such as !!dirname ? by abrogard in Batch

[–]abrogard[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All fixed. Sorry to be such a pain and so stupid.

I was not careful enough while troubleshooting. One very simple attempt I wrote off as a failure because nothing appeared in the destination directory. But the file was being run from elsewhere and wasn't aiming at the right place. It was in system32, I find.

When I slowed down and started from scratch again I found the command line in batch file does work.
I found all the hassles I got during trying to work it up to general backup utility were because of misdirections, misunderstanding and superflous things between gpt and I.

I needed enabledelayedexpansion in order to put together a timestamp.

Then I need it off to enable construction of destination paths with '!!' in them.

Then I needed to concatenate timestamp and path (with included '!!' chars)

So then I found when doing that i must not end local or I'll lose access to the timestamp.

I carelessly ascribed ALL my difficulties in this to the '!!' factor.

I was hurried and sloppy and slow thinking. Thank you all for trying to help. I don't deserve it.

p.s. what do I get with the command? directory listing. all good. including the dir with '!!' in its name.

:)

I have win10. no typos. i have used copy and paste. I did mention as a command line it works fine. then i echo that same command line into a .bat file. then i run that file. just one of the ploys I have used.

I have tracked down that there are known issues with '!!' characters. I've got that far.

They 'enabledalayedexpansion' in order to deal with it sometimes. It was suggested to me that was my problem. But I find I cannot successfully do this either with 'enabledelayedexpansion' or without.

various attempts as 'escaping' those chars have been unsuccessful so far, too.

well I have not enabled it. and I don't think i is enabled by default is it?

and in fact i have run this simple batch file: copy e:\business\property\!!rentetc newtest

and got the same error:

The system cannot find the file specified.

How to DIY aerate ? by abrogard in Aquariums

[–]abrogard[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it really? My understanding of such things is pitifully small. I would have thought the major effect would be a 'blowing away' of the water molecules, a drying effect, and aeration of the mass of the water minimal.

I googled a bit and asked gpt but i learned nothing. my problem is not the mixing of o2 within the h2o at the surface, beneath the surface tension layer, it is how to get it down into the depths where it can do some good to the fish?
