I am using the BOFH server to get random excuses, however whenever it runs it states "Connection to Host Lost" after it has run, since the server immediately disconnects (expected behavior). How can I supress this message?
Running telnet towel.blinkenlights.nl 666 2>nul
does nothing.
And the following script does not output anything:
set num=0
for /f "tokens=*" %%A in ('telnet towel.blinkenlights.nl 666') do (
set /a num+=1
echo %%A
if "!num!"=="3" exit /b
)
Is there is
head
on windows? – Eugen Rieck – 2019-04-03T22:07:48.667Yes it has a head display – Mark Deven – 2019-04-03T22:15:53.847
The command
head
that shows only the first n lines of output ... – Eugen Rieck – 2019-04-04T07:21:26.563What? I don’t understand what you’re trying to say. Maybe say it in your natural language? – Mark Deven – 2019-04-04T12:58:51.683
@EugenRieck no,
head
doesn't exist on Windows. – shawn – 2019-04-27T05:03:18.757@MarkDeven have you tried redirecting error output to NUL?
for /f "tokens=*" %%A in ('telnet towel.blinkenlights.nl 666 ^2>NUL') ...
– shawn – 2019-04-27T05:04:10.607Yes. Whenever I tried using NUL it either changes nothing or redirects all output. – Mark Deven – 2019-04-27T11:30:38.450
