* replace /V with global VERIFY ON
* change working dir to script dir
The working dir doesn't necessarily match the script's path, depending on how the script is called. All relative paths and conditional statements using EXIST will fail whenever the working dir is not the script's own location. This fixes that.
* minimal stuff, mostly cosmetic
* prompt to run prefsCleaner under very specific circumstances
* improve -updatebatch option
* add version variable + display new script version on update
Changes:
-The script doesn't touch the user.js file until it really has to.
-The merge function is a bit smarter parsing files, at no significant cost. See examples below.
-Minor syntactic changes here and there.
Additions:
-New -multiBackups argument. I personally intend to use it to compare files and quickly review changes.
Fixes:
- Merge function:
*no longer has the potential to truncate super long lines.
*no more issues with exclamation marks in user_pref lines.
Improvements:
- Overall better performance due to ECHO syntax changes.
- Merge function on steroids! Faster than ever, and no longer generates temporary files at all. As it always should have been.
Changes, Additions, Substractions:
- Leading spaces are no longer ignored by the merge function. Lines to be merged must begin with user_pref.
- Added header with name, author, version.
- Added help sub-menu.
- Added special message when no override files are found when using -multiOverrides.
- Formatting changes.
-updatebatch now will (or at least should):
*Download new batch and name it [updater]*.bat
*Open that script in a new CMD window.
*Exit
The [updated]*.bat script should:
*Copy itself overwriting the original batch (without renaming).
*Start that script in a new CMD instance.
*Exit.
The new script, with the original name, should:
*Delete the [updated]*.bat script
*Begin the normal script routine.
@earthing do you think I should still rename the scripts to .old or something before overwriting/deleting?
