echo -P:XXYY does not accept numbers larger than 99

[steve6375]

In 1024x768 mode we have 128 columns, so cannot position past column 99

suggest echo also accepts two-digit hex numbers using -p: instead of -P: ??? e.g. echo -p:0a6e

have a try. clear ;; echo -P:0811 1234567890 clear ;; echo -P:0x080x0b 1234567890 grldr.rar.txt

If get a hex value less than 16 using set /A then we get values of 0xb for instance. Can it cope with 3 character values? It is more difficult to change 0xb to 0x0b which is why I suggested using -p

[yaya2007]

Adding - p: cannot simply solve the problem. The key is to separate XXYY.

-P:0xf0xf -P:0xf-0xf -P:0x110xf -P:0x11-0x11 grldr.rar.txt

Can't just add a hyphen ???

-P:0x12-0x12 not working ?

[yaya2007]

It is not a connector, but a negative number sign.

sorry, you said 'The key is to separate XXYY' so I assumed it was a separator!

so cannot have hex followed by decimal?

e.g.

echo -P:0x505 HELLO

does not work.

[yaya2007]

Either all decimal or all hexadecimal

[steve6375]

OK. maybe help text could be changed

XX and YY are both 2 digit decimal or both 3/4 character hex. Can precede with - sign for position from end.

Looks good :-)
