Obviously it is possible to set title that contains cmd's standard delimiters but through TITLE
command looks impossible to set a title that starts with a delimiter.
It is possible to create a new instance of CMD with such title:
start "==" cmd.exe
but not possible for the same instance.
It is possible also with .NET and Console.Title
property but when it's called from batch file the tile lasts as long as the compiled exe runs:
@if (@X)==(@Y) @end /* JScript comment
@echo off
setlocal
for /f "tokens=* delims=" %%v in ('dir /b /s /a:-d /o:-n "%SystemRoot%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\*jsc.exe"') do (
set "jsc=%%v"
)
if not defined jsc (
echo !!! Installation of .NET framework needed !!!
pause
exit /b 3
)
rem echo %jsc%
::if not exist "%~n0.exe" (
del /q /f %~n0.exe
call "%jsc%" /nologo /out:"%~n0.exe" "%~dpsfnx0"
::)
call %~n0.exe %*
endlocal & exit /b %errorlevel%
*/
import System;
var arguments:String[] = Environment.GetCommandLineArgs();
//Console.WriteLine(Console.Title);
if (arguments.length>0){
Console.Title=arguments[1];
}
//Console.WriteLine(Console.Title);
(Probably is possible through code injection)
Is there a windows 'native' way?
With Win7 x64, I can produce it when a linefeed is in front of the problematic characters.
@echo off
setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
set LF=^
title !LF!,bc
In Win7 there seems no difference in the height or position of the title when LF is used.
Tested with
cmd /V:on
@for /L %n in (1 1 1111) do @(title !LF!=Hello& title +Hello)
But the current program is shown for the time it's running in the title, so the TITLE
command itself produces a flicker.
