The following code populates TMP9:, but @TMP does not return all contents.

Would appreciate if others could duplicate this on their system,
and show me what I am not doing correctly.

@SETLOCAL
@ECHO OFF
REM Just to be sure, clear TMP9:
tmp /c tmp9:
REM Put some lines into TMP9:
Gosub Init > tmp9:
REM Show the contents of TMP
tmp
REM Pause to view above
pause
REM How many lines in tmp9:
echo @Lines: 0-%@lines[tmp9:]
REM Display the first three lines in tmp9:
echo %@tmp[0,9]
echo %@tmp[1,9]
echo %@tmp[2,9]
REM Only displays line 0
REM Lines 1 and 2 return ECHO OFF
ENDLOCAL
quit

A slightly different test but it looks like @TMP misbehaves as you mentioned.

v:\> echo foo^r^nbar^r^nfly > tmp9:

v:\> type tmp9:
foo
bar
fly

v:\> echo %@lines[tmp9:]
2

v:\> echo %@tmp[0,9]
foo

v:\> echo %@tmp[1,9]
ECHO is OFF

v:\> echo %@tmp[2,9]
ECHO is OFF

 

[vefatica]

Quite possibly related:

v:\> type tmp9:
foo
bar
fly

v:\> echo %@line[tmp9:,0]
foo

v:\> echo %@line[tmp9:,1]
ECHO is OFF

v:\> echo %@line[tmp9:,2]
ECHO is OFF

Verified here as well. I think we have a bug. Has anyone ever really tried to use this? I for one didn't even know it existed.

On the other hand, this does work:

do x in @tmp9: (echo %x)

Fixed in build 20.
