  • How can I add greater than and less than into a batch file variable

    3 answers




I would like to make a batch file that writes a command to a batch file. I have tried using 



@echo "@echo this is a test>test.txt">testBat.bat


Which gives me the output in testBat.bat of: 



"@echo this is a test>test.txt"


This issue is, it still has the quotations around it in the batch file, and running it without the quotes gives me: 



"this is a test"


So running it without the quotes just puts the text in the batch file. And after spending a half an hour looking I couldn't find if this was at all possible.






batch-file cmd

Try this:



@echo @echo this is a test^>test.txt>testBat.bat


I vaguely remember that cmd uses ^ as an escape character.

            Create new schema in PostgreSQL using DBeaver

            Image
            0 At the beginning of my current job I had limited access to DB but recently my role is changed to superuser, admin, and owner. My colleague who was the previous DB admin is able to create a schema or change the permissions as there is a permission tab in the properties and he can change permissions by clicking easily. Would you please let me know how I can create schema and change permissions as well? Why his dbeaver looks different from me? He can easily right click on the schema folder on top of all schemas on the left side column and select create new schema while I do not have that, like the following picture I found on the internet. postgresql database-schema dbeaver share | improve this question

            Deepest pit of an array with Javascript: test on Codility

            Image
            0 $begingroup$ This is the question from a Codility test, as a task in an interview: DeepestPit - problem description A non-empty zero-indexed array A consisting of N integers is given. A pit in this array is any triplet of integers (P, Q, R) such that: ·         0 ≤ P < Q < R < N; ·         sequence [A[P], A[P+1], ..., A[Q]] is strictly decreasing, i.e. A[P] > A[P+1] > ... > A[Q]; ·         sequence A[Q], A[Q+1], ..., A[R] is strictly increasing, i.e. A[Q] < A[Q+1] < ... < A[R]. The depth of a pit (P, Q, R) is the number min {A[P] − A[Q], A[R] − A[Q]}. For example, consider array A consisting of 10 elements such that: A[0] = 0 A[1] = 1 A[2] = 3 A[3] = -2 A[4] = 0 A[5] = 1 A[6] = 0 A[7] = -3 A[8] = 2 A[9] = 3 Triplet (2, 3, 4) is
