I've been using:
taskkill /f /fi "imagename eq $(TargetFileName)"
.. in the pre-build events to kill the running program upon rebuilding. Now, however, it doesn't seem to work that simple anymore. I'm on .net 6 vs 2022. Any ideas?

Running on Windows 10 Pro 64-bit [Version 10.0.17763.1637];
I'm writing a simple batch file to show active processes:
cls
echo.
echo Showing all processes similar to %1*
tasklist /FO table /FI "IMAGENAME eq %1*"|more
However, I see that the screen is not being cleared as the script is launched (CLS works fine if I invoke it manually from my Command Line).
I know it's actually a quite silly issue, I'm just curious to know why that hppens and if there's any workaround.
Thanks in advance!

i checked your script and cls works perfect(except for it isn't showing active processes) you just need to add #echo offand also validate encoding as ANSI if it isn't,if you want command line without prompt,here it is:
#echo off
cls
echo.
echo Showing all processes similar to %1*
tasklist
rem tasklist /FO table /FI "IMAGENAME eq %1*"|more
I have Windows task scheduler set up to run a batch file that launches Firefox and runs a macro inside it.
The task is scheduled for weekdays at a specific time, and I want it to check if my messenger program is running before it activates. Kind of like a failsafe, if the messenger program isn't already running in the first place, I don't need the scheduler to launch Firefox.
Is this possible with some kind of trigger/argument I could add? Maybe even to the batch file itself? How would you suggest I do this?
you can do this to figure out if the firefox is on running
tasklist /FI "IMAGENAME eq firefox.exe" 2>NUL | find /I /N "firefox.exe">NUL
if "%ERRORLEVEL%"=="0" echo Programm is running
I am trying to create a batch file as an impromptu shortcut to launch the Battle.net client and when it fully opens, to launch Hearthstone specifically but i'm sure it can be applied to any Blizzard game.
The problem is when I run
start "" "C:\Program Files (x86)\Hearthstone\Hearthstone Beta Launcher.exe"
tasklist /fi "IMAGENAME eq battle.net.exe" 2>NUL | find /I /N "battle.net.exe">NUL
if "%ERRORLEVEL%"=="0" echo Battle net is ready
And if that worked then I would use start "" "battlenet://WTCG" but it immediately echos even though nothing is visible on my screen and the process is not running in task manager. Which means it would try to launch hearthstone without Battle.net being open even though the script says it is.
Is this just an issue with Battle.net processes or am I doing something very wrong? I am currently using Windows 10 if it matters.
I have two batch file one is always running (listerner.bat) but it is visible,the other one (mystop.bat)is to kill or stop my listener.bat and this two batch file are resides in this path C:\mydemo\mybatchfiles\,I am using windows 7
here is the code for mystop.bat
taskkill /F /FI "WINDOWTITLE eq Administrator: testlistener" /T
but when I run it,it will not terminate the running (listener.bat),There is no error but I have this message when I run it.
INFO: No tasks running with the specified criteria.
I appreciate someone can help me on this.I am new on this batch file command.
I had the same problem. In my case it was that there were two spaces in the window title:
taskkill.exe /F /FI "WindowTitle eq Administrator: TailingErrorLog"
^^
Taskkill considers the command currently executed by listener.bat as part of the title. So you need to add a wildcard "*".
taskkill /F /FI "WINDOWTITLE eq Administrator: testlistener *" /T
Try terminating using Im switch ..
Taskkill /Im listener.bat /t /f
Although this is not computer science related question , thought I should help ...
Is it possible to attach the windows debugger in VS2010 to a process from a batch file?
preferably by giving it a process name
Since you presumably already have the process running, you would use vsjitdebugger.exe /p 1234 where 1234 is the PID of the process you want to debug. If you don't know it, you would have to use some other method to figure it out.
If you have the debugging tools for windows available, the tlist.exe utility will yield the process ID for a process name. If that is available, then the following will attach to a given process:
rem Get the process ID
for /f %%f in ('tlist -p %1') do set mypid=%%f
rem attach to it with selected debugger
vsjitDebugger -p %mypid%
Edit If tlist is not available, I think tasklist will work. It's a bit uglier, but the following worked for me (you know ... it works my on my system :) Note too that I edited the command previous example to work in a cmd.exe prompt (I use tcc, which does require as many % signs).
rem Get the process ID
for /f "tokens=2 delims= " %%f in ('tasklist /nh /fi "imagename eq %1"' ) do set mypid=%%f
rem attach to it with selected debugger
vsjitDebugger -p %mypid%
Specifying a /Command switch on devenv.exe 's command-line will make it run a specified command on open. You could specify the Debug.AttachToProcess command. Don't know if you can specify a pid, though, when you execute that command.
