I'll check it out. Hope it is clean :\

Heheheh… they're clean. They're just two DOS batch files that can be easily viewed and edited with any text editor, such as Notepad. I thought about writing them in something like VisualBasic, but I know I'm always weary of running unknown programs. So, I decided to keep them simple, easily viewed and edited as Jagex likes to change filenames and the such, and can be easily ran on virtually almost any computer running something made from Micro$oft.

:redface:

Well done.

Well done.

Thanks! I know they're not much, but they do the job.

I wish there was an easier way to incorporate variables and choices in the batch files so that people can pick the drive letter Windows is installed on without having to use the Command Prompt (yes, I have actually seen a Windows partition installed on a different drive letter than C: from from the manufacturer), but Windows XP or Vista doesn't support those commands anymore. :mad:

I suppose the real test is for someone who has a single version of Windows installed on a different drive other than C:, or a dual-boot system where another OS, such as Linux, is installed on drive C: instead. Those instances is where I wish I could add the above commands in the batch files.

Oh well, what can you do? Blasted Micro$oft! :duh:

Sorry but till someones specifically says its good i wont use it. No offense to you but i fear anything ending in .bat

Right click it. Then edit. Look at the coding.

Nice work just tried it out, i looked at the path and they all had jagex in it so i let it delete. Its nice and safe.

Good job, found it useful :)

very nice :p you got some advertising going down in there to :p

no matter

Blegh, I mis-hit it. Is there a way to change my vote? It worked fine. =/

Nice. Unfortunately I'm not going to use it. But thanks. This helped me alot because I have been trying to learn more about cmd.exe and batch files. Thanks to this and Microsoft.com I think I actually made a pretty good Random.dat deleter. Mine that I made was REALLY simple before because I didn't know much about this stuff. The old one looked like this:

del c:\WINNT\.jagex_cache_32\random.dat
del c:\WINDOWS\.jagex_cache_32\random.dat
del c:\.jagex_cache_32

now looks like this:

@ECHO OFF
CLS
ECHO ===========================================================================
ECHO.
ECHO STEP #1:
ECHO --------
ECHO.
ECHO Please close all instances (windows) of RuneScape before continuing!
ECHO.
ECHO ===========================================================================
ECHO.
PAUSE
CLS
ECHO ===========================================================================
ECHO.
ECHO STEP #2:
ECHO --------
ECHO Deleting Random.dat
ECHO.
ECHO ===========================================================================
ECHO.
IF EXIST c:\WINNT\.jagex_cache_32\random.dat echo Deleted Random.dat on c:\WINNT
IF EXIST c:\WINNT\.jagex_cache_32\random.dat ( del c:\WINNT\.jagex_cache_32\random.dat ) ELSE echo Random.dat wasn't found on c:\WINNT
IF EXIST c:\WINDOWS\.jagex_cache_32\random.dat echo Deleted Random.dat on c:\WINDOWS
IF EXIST c:\WINDOWS\.jagex_cache_32\random.dat ( del c:\WINDOWS\.jagex_cache_32\random.dat ) ELSE echo Random.dat wasn't found on c:\WINDOWS
IF EXIST c:\.jagex_cache_32\random.dat echo Deleted Random.dat on c:\.jagex_cache_32
IF EXIST c:\.jagex_cache_32\random.dat ( del c:\.jagex_cache_32 ) ELSE echo Random.dat wasn't found on c:\.jagex_cache_32
ECHO.
ECHO.
PAUSE
EXIT

Basically checks to see if it is there. If it is there it will say that it deleted it. Next line it will check if it is there and if it is it will delete. If it is not there is will say it couldn't find it. Took me a long time to figure out how to make it say that it was deleted. Ended up making it check for it before it deleted it and it would say that it deleted it before it actually deletes it.

Thanks again :)

nice work ;). i like it.
but it tooks a bit long because you need to puss a bit much the enter key :p.

Heheheheh… that's why I made 2 versions. Once you find out you don't have any other programs that uses RANDOM.DAT files, then it's probably safe to use the "dRandomB.bat" file until you install a new program, and may wanna use "dRandomA.bat" just to see if it uses a RANDOM.DAT file. The "dRandomB.bat" requires much less user input. You simply run it, wait a few, and it automatically exits. Done and done.:)

Yeah… I thought about making it very specific to certain folders so that it's faster, but as we all know how Jagex likes to change stuff up. So, keeping this in mind, if Jagex decides to change filenames and/or folders, keeping it "open-ended" eliminates having to update your batch file as often. With mine, all I have to do is just replace the filename if they decide to change it again. I'm not sure how fast this batch file runs on other people's computers, but it only takes about 5 seconds for the "dRandomB.bat" to run on mine. But, I'm glad someone who's wanting to learn more about batch files found it useful. I personally stink at writing scripts, but batch files… been doing that since MS-DOS 3.3 and Windows 3.1 was common on new computers at the time.
:D

job well done it even worked with shitasta

[vista]

uhh not so bad could be better

Yeah, it could've been better if WinXP/Vista supported all of the old DOS functionality, such as "IF ERRORLEVEL" and the such. Outside of that, not much more you can do with DOS batch files.

Why don't ya write something better? :-)
