Expediency. The single dot is just much less to type, one character instead of ten.

With build 17, I am able to repeat this issue on two different Win11/ARM VMs, but not on Win11 Intel. But, no exception logs on either ARM install.

There was no exception log file

Just to update, I started no apps other than TCMD after starting Windows and there are no plugins or any add-ons in my TCMD install.

I have Win 11Pro/ARM (Insider Preview) and am able to repeat it with these steps. TCMD closes and, when reopened, I can attach the previously opened TCC. There are two events in the application log. Log Name: Application Source: Application Error Date: 5/19/2023 1:02:46...

I have a set of calendar related functions that were posted in the alias thread as they used those aliases. There was also a function that used an alias to expand a set of args. Here's some other functions. :pad string with space (or other char) :padX[string,length[,char]] padl=`%@if[%2 LE...

Joe, I sometimes do the cmd /c ... in my TCC. It partly depends on whether it'll need elevated permissions or not; I don't often elevate TCC. I have wsl also, but had not tried running that within TCC, especially using the aliases. That's cool. Thanks for the ideas.

I very rarely start CMD and then only because something doesn't work as expected under TCC. I live in TCMD/TCC, regularly using aliases, functions, BTMs, etc. If I change that habit, it will likely be because I am running tmux/bash/zsh on Linux instead.

Thanks for the reminders on 'help conditional'. WHERE does find git and return a non-zero. Putting parens around the second pair of commands does work here, but exposes the next issue in a called batch file. TCC: C:\flutter\bin\internal\shared.bat [35] Unbalanced parentheses "& ( " Line 35 is...

That worked. Thanks. It just seemed strange that, without the option change, it output unicode for one function, but not the other.

It's difficult to know undocumented intentions. The help for @BPEEKSTR says it is to 'Read a string from a binary buffer' and now you say don't. Thanks for adding some clarification here in the forum. I wish more of that were documented in the help. When I work with TCC, I don't default to...
