My tools I actually wrote in Quick Basic directly in dosbox haha. But I also would have no idea how to parse a file and would have to learn that, the last time I had to do it the programming language thankfully had a method that handled the parsing and even that took me 4 nights xD Haven't even thought about your approach of writing my own program to look at the stuff and parsing the xml file. But the menu system would be so much easier for my 60 year old mother to navigate than having a list of 8-char file names that she has to input in a cmd prompt xD That is exactly why I would love to not do everything manually again. I basically went into every game folder and configured the game, looked at the executables (I use a 4dos alias named "dire" for dir "executables" that is just "dir /p *.exe *.com *.bat >&>nul")Īnd my tool places the batch file in the right place. bat files are set up with a small utility I wrote a few years ago. Possibly appending "SETUP" to every bat file as the "configuration entry", since all my. In my instance I would want the program to go through a single folder, make an entry for every BAT file it finds in there and ask for a title on games it cannot find in the xml. I made a Python script to populate the Launchbox.txt file.
