ECHOS and trailing spaces

Jan

Working on a solution for Scott's post. Had to make some more sample data so I wrote a quick btm.
Code:
do a = 1 to 100 (
    do b = 1 to %@random[14,20] (
        set c=%@convert[10,16,%@random[0,255]]
        iff %@len[%c]== 1 then
            echos 0%c` `
        else
            echos %c` `
        endiff
    )
    echo.
)
I've tried with a trailing space enclosed in backquotes (as in the code above) and also with a space after the %c followed by double backquotes. Neither will output spaces between the echos. In other words, I'm getting this
Code:
F000780382478ABAA474DF8BEC5B31CA6A8C1642

C6A7F358AF3C3FD5CCB3CB51023F66D54963C5
Instead of this
Code:
0B 02 59 F5 68 18 57 6A 48 B6 C7 E4 68 DB 3F 30
52 68 2A 45 3C 0D FB AB 12 E8 EF D9 77 49 00

4A 30 84 61 29 BF C0 4E 13 E7 BA AA E5 FA 8A 59 81 AF 6F
If I put an additional space between the ECHOS and the %c, I do get spaced output, but I want trailing spaces, not leading spaces.

Edit: Problem is in both TCC 13.04.63 and 14.00.23 for Windows XP SP3

IIRC, this has been discussed a few times and the behavior has not changed. There's no such problem with FOR.
Code:
v:\> do i=1 to 3 (echos %i` `)
123
v:\> for /l %i in (1,1,3) echos %i` `
1 2 3

This might help:
Code:
v:\> do i=1 to 3 (echos %i^k ^k)
1 2 3

As it's in a .BTM file, I recommend that you use a proper DO loop:

Code:
@echo off
do a = 1 to 100
    do b = 1 to %@random[14,20]
        set c=%@convert[10,16,%@random[0,255]]
        iff %@len[%c]== 1 then
            echos 0%c` `
        else
            echos %c` `
        endiff
    enddo
    echo.
enddo

Using the parentheses essentially mashes the body of the loop onto a single command line -- a hack to make DO usable at the command line, not needed in a batch file. I don't fully understand the side effect that you're seeing, but I'm not at all surprised that there is a side effect.

That works. I was using the parentheses as one would use curly brackets in C or Java.
