Sleep (for pausing commandline)

Hi Galapo,

can we have cmd title countdown with sleep with seconds

eg.
sleep.exe -Title

 



edit:
better:

sleep.exe -Titlemmss

to show minutes and seconds

You could use this code:

Code: [Select]

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <windows.h>
#include <iostream>

void usage(const char *title)
{
printf("Usage: \n" \
" %s time-to-sleep-in-seconds\n",
title, title, title);
exit(1);
}

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
DWORD mSec = 1000;

if((argc < 2) || (0 == stricmp("/?", argv[1])) || (0 == stricmp("-h", argv[1])) || (0 == stricmp("/h", argv[1])))
{
usage(argv[0]);
}

for (int sec = atoi(argv[1]); sec >= 0; sec--)
{
Sleep(1000);
system("cls");
std::cout << "Sleeping for: " << sec << " seconds remaining";
}
system("cls");
return 0;
}

I'll have to track down where I saved my copy of Visual Studio to compile this one. Not happy with the Mingw size due to having to link a static file which boosts the size considerably.

Galapo.

Well, you can create Sleep with AutoIT for home use where size is not important. 

This way current sleep stay small for projects, and home use can have more features and easier for you to maintain.

*
I need "sleep" with the countdown for home use,
 There may be alternatives on the internet but I prefer first using our tools that would help to develop better.

Hi Galapo,

I start using old version of Switch Off (2.3.0.1) for sleep and shutdown
ps:
Latest here http://www.airytec.com/en/switch-off/get.aspx but I like old gui design.

It is the utility I use since XP, only first time I start using it with cmd batch.

Latest version still looks cool and tidy.

I dug up the external harddrive where I had Visual Studio installed in a virtual machine.

I've compiled a sleep.exe for you that outputs a countdown. Simply run 'sleep.exe 10' on the commandline to sleep for 10 seconds.

Regards,
Galapo.

Thanks Galapo.

It works nice.   

Great! 

Hi Galapo,

I just put a copy of sleep_Timer.rar to "Sleep.exe by Galapo" plugin to keep it at a safe place. 

 

If you stop using the c/c++ runtime you can get the x64 version under 7K and the x86 version under 6K:

// Sleep.cpp : This file contains the 'main' function. Program execution begins and ends there.
//
#define _WIN32_WINNT 0x0500

#include <windows.h>
#include <tchar.h>
#include <strsafe.h>

#define DebugOut DebugOutW

#ifndef _DEBUG
#pragma comment(linker, "/entry:EntryPoint")
#endif

static HANDLE stdoutput;

void OpenDebugHandle()
{
    stdoutput = GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE);
}

void DebugOutW(LPCWSTR format, ...)
{
    WCHAR buff[1024];
    CHAR buffc[1024];

    va_list args;

    va_start(args, format);

    int len = wvsprintfW(buff, format, args);
    len = WideCharToMultiByte(CP_ACP, 0, buff, len, buffc, 1024, NULL, NULL);
    WriteFile(stdoutput, buffc, len, NULL, NULL);
}

void usage(const TCHAR *title)
{
    DebugOut(_T("Usage: \n%s time-to-sleep-in-seconds\n"), title);
}

BOOL IsHelp(TCHAR * par)
{
    TCHAR ch = par[0];
    DWORD len = lstrlen(par);
    if (len != 2)
        return FALSE;

    if (ch != _T('/') && ch != _T('-'))
        return FALSE;

    ch = par[1];
    return ch == _T('?') || ch == _T('h') || ch == _T('H');
}

DWORD ToInt32(TCHAR * par)
{
    DWORD num = 0;
    for (; *par != 0; ++par)
    {
        TCHAR ch = *par;
        if (ch < _T('0') || ch > _T('9'))
            break;
        num = 10 * num;
        num += (ch - _T('0'));
    }
    return num;
}

int _tmain(int argc, TCHAR* argv[])
{
    OpenDebugHandle();

    DWORD mSec = 1000;

    if (argc < 2 || IsHelp(argv[1]))
    {
        usage(argv[0]);
        return 1;
    }

    for (int sec = ToInt32(argv[1]); sec >= 0; sec--)
    {
        Sleep(1000);
        DebugOut(_T("Sleeping for: %u seconds   \r"), sec);
    }
    DebugOut(_T("\r\n"));
    return 0;
}

void EntryPoint()
{
    LPWSTR *szWArglist;
    int nArgs;

    WCHAR * cmd = GetCommandLineW();
    szWArglist = CommandLineToArgvW(cmd, &nArgs);
    DWORD ret;

    ret = _tmain(nArgs, szWArglist);

    LocalFree(szWArglist);
    ExitProcess(ret);
}

Hi Sandy,

Welcome and thanks for your input.

What IDE should I use and how do I compile the code?

Thanks,
Galapo.

such a simple C code, just use Galapo Reply #2 on: November 13, 2018, 10:12:36 AM » 's source code,
complie with tinycc, got <3kb one(both x64/x86).

diff:

Code: [Select]

-#include <iostream>
+printf("Sleeping for:%d seconds remaining", sec);

also 1 year ago, I complie hiderun.exe with tcc in 4kb.

Thanks slore for the heads-up.  I confess I haven't used TCC before - I'll check it out.

Regards,
Galapo.

I compiled with VS2017 with unicode configured. Here is my vcxproj:

Looks like the board software corrupts the xmlns link.
