Subject: [nvda] Badly written helpful batch files
Note this is crossposted to 2 groups, if you reply to this thread, I have no 
idea what will happen if you are not on one of the groups.

Now here is a little present from me. I'm no programmer, but I recognise a
useful routine when I see it, so with apologies to whoever I ripped the main 
routine from, and the following provisos, here are some quick and dirty
screenreader switching batch files you can use.

Warning, none of these allow the screenreader being left to save anything,
so be sure to force this before you switch. In the case of the Dolphin
products. Ie, Start the product as normal then restart to do this save for 
sure. Don't blame me if carol comes back, or you lose that vital situation
setting you made ten mins ago, OK

?



Also, do not set the screenreaders to exit samwhen they exit, or it will
fall over when switching between Dolphin products. Once again, this is due
to the uncaring way the processes are shut down!

nvda does not have time to save either, just in case you are wondering.

This first batch file switches from a dolphin product to nvda.

@echo off



set _list=tasklist /fo csv /nh

set _kill=taskkill /f /t /pid

set _forparm=/f "usebackq tokens=2 delims=," %%a

for %_forparm% in (`%_list% /m dol_osm.dll`) do %_kill% %%a

set _list=

set _kill=

set _forparm=

start c:\progra~1\nvda\nvda.exe

exit

=======

These next two switch fromDolphin or nvda to either Hal or Supernova
respectively.





@echo off

set _list=tasklist /fo csv /nh

set _kill=taskkill /f /t /pid

set _forparm=/f "usebackq tokens=2 delims=," %%a

for %_forparm% in (`%_list% /m dol_osm.dll`) do %_kill% %%a

set _list=

set _kill=

set _forparm=



set _list=tasklist /fo csv /nh

set _kill=taskkill /f /t /pid

set _forparm=/f "usebackq tokens=2 delims=," %%a

for %_forparm% in (`%_list% /fi "imagename eq nvda.exe"`) do %_kill% %%a

set _list=

set _kill=

set _forparm=

start c:\progra~1\dolphin\hal1001\hal.exe

exit

======

@echo off

set _list=tasklist /fo csv /nh

set _kill=taskkill /f /t /pid

set _forparm=/f "usebackq tokens=2 delims=," %%a

for %_forparm% in (`%_list% /m dol_osm.dll`) do %_kill% %%a

set _list=

set _kill=

set _forparm=

set _list=tasklist /fo csv /nh

set _kill=taskkill /f /t /pid

set _forparm=/f "usebackq tokens=2 delims=," %%a

for %_forparm% in (`%_list% /fi "imagename eq nvda.exe"`) do %_kill% %%a

set _list=

set _kill=

set _forparm=

start c:\progra~1\dolphin\snova\psnova.exe

exit
Note it does not trigger an error when trying to close a non running process 
more from luck than judgement. I could have put both in the one loop but
laziness got the better of me. I look forward to the new improved versions
after the festive seasons from someone on the groups so incensed by the
slipshod creation of these files. *grin*
