I want to echo a variable with the %'s.  Ex:  set var=Hello echo %var%   That would obviously result in echoing "Hello", but how can I get it to just echo %var%?
Does anybody of a way to access files and directories that have a % in their name (which is valid) from the command-line? Specifically, if there are two %’s and the text between them happens to correspond to an environment variable.  For example, if there is a file called C:\blah\%temp%.txt or a folder called C:\Program Files\%temp%\, none of the following will work because the variable gets expanded:  &gt; dir "c:\blah\%temp%.txt" &gt; dir "c:\blah\^%temp^%.txt" &gt; dir "c:\blah\%%temp%%.txt" &gt; dir "c:\blah\\%temp\%.txt"  &gt; dir "c:\program files\%temp%" &gt; dir "c:\program files\^%temp^%" &gt; dir "c:\program files\%%temp%%" &gt; dir "c:\program files\\%temp\%"    Using wildcards will work, but does not uniquely select the file/folder and may include others:  &gt; dir "c:\blah\?temp?.txt"        (also shows ztempz.temp, 1tempa.txt, etc.) &gt; dir "c:\program files\?temp?"   (likewise)    (This is frustrating because every now and then—usually when Explorer is restarted for whatever reason—the environment variables stop expanding and some places where they are used end up creating files or directories with the environment variable in it. For example, because I configured Chromium to store its cache in a subdirectory of %temp%, if the variable expands, it is fine, but when it doesn’t, Chromium creates a directory called %temp% under its own directory and stores the cache—which can get large—there. I want to add a line to my temp-/junk-file cleaning script to automatically delete that folder if it exists, but I cannot figure out how to access it from the command-line without resorting to wildcards.)
What would be a good term for continuous testing post-deployment? I'm thinking of live production sites here, where there is a continuous community or much content being updated, sort of like a newspaper site or community site (the one I work at is a healthcare improvement company) and we have news articles, programs and so on.  While the underlying code is tested and released there are often production issues that come up, maybe certain pages stop working, style sheets suddenly don't appear like they did due to a service patch or some tweak done to improve production security or performance.  There is Acceptance Testing for when a deployment goes out to make sure things work right, Regression Testing to make sure nothing has been broken since previous releases.  Considering we've done these types of tests and things are working fine what would you call testing, or checking, the site to make sure things still work fine?  To be sure new pages are being crawled for search indexing?  To check that newly added pages are using plug-ins correctly?  Or so on.  My manager and I were discussing some issues that have cropped up and decided we needed to do something like this, but then to sort of note it in our status reports we didn't really have a name for it.  Anyone done this and have a term that might be good?  Or would you consider it covered by something like Continuous Acceptance Testing or some such term? Can I unwarp my cutting board? I should have paid more attention but after regular washing of top surface, my half-inch-thick board is rocking like a cradle.  It is not practical to use flipped over as it has a counter lip.  I tried keeping the backside moist over 24hrs with no noticeable affect.  Wet grass and sunshine was suggested  but it doesn't sound very practical for me. What indoor solutions can I try? While I am familiar with Descartes and the oft-quoted idea, I think therefore I am, I am not familiar with any philosophy that actively sought to rationalize that anybody else exists.  Are there philosophers who analyzed this question? Or is it taken for granted that it is (im)possible for anybody to validate their own existence to somebody else? How to get second last page as a number without hyperref? Short circuit evaluation and side effects Take the following script:  #!/bin/sh sed 's/(127\.0\.1\.1)\s/\1/' [some file]   If I try to run this in sh (dash here), it'll fail because of the parentheses, which need to be escaped. But I don't need to escape the backslashes themselves (between the octets, or in the \s or \1). What's the rule here? What about when I need to use {...} or [...]? Is there a list of what I do and don't need to escape? My question is specifically for badges in a particular tag. I've heard that the rules have been changed.  How and when can one get bronze, silver and gold badges for a specific tag, say ? What are the new rules governing these badges?

Does SE have a time machine now? Working in a group blender project Me and my team are new to blender, we are now planning for a small project. What I want to ask here are some questions regarding the team work:   We use git for version control in web projects, Is there any special version control for blender project. Creating object of each file and integrating in the project is one way we saw to complete the project. But is there any good way to work in the group?   Please tell us from your experience what might be the best way to work together in a group blender project. I have never found experimental evidence that measuring one entangled particle causes the state of the other entangled particle to change, rather than just being revealed.  Using the spin up spin down example we know that one of the particles will be spin up and the other spin down, so when we measure one and find it is spin up we know the other is spin down. Is there any situation after creation that the particle with spin up will change to spin down? How to handle dynamic changing ID's In XPath? How to Handle Dynamic Changing IDs In XPath? for example :   //div[@id='post-body-3647323225296998740']/div[1]/form[1]/input[1]   In this xpath id "3647323225296998740" is changing every time when reloading the page.   Is there any way to handle this type of situation in Selenium? I am trying to add a list into an another nested list before adding values of a list to nested list it is getting the correct value but after adding i am getting (already output) in debug log when i checked.    public List&lt;String&gt; fieldName {get;set;}  public List&lt;List&lt;String&gt;&gt; fileValuesXML; // To get the field values of xml  for(Dom.XMLNode child : SalesforceObjecet.getChildElements()) {                        objecetName = child.getText();             system.debug('Object Name in XML field  ' + objecetName );              for(Dom.XMLNode subchild : child.getChildElements())              {                 system.debug('Sub child ' + subchild.getText() );                 for(Dom.XMLNode subchildfield : subchild.getChildElements())                 {                     system.debug('Sub child Field ' + subchildfield );                     fName  = subchildfield.getText();                     fieldName.add(fName);                     //fileValuesXML.add(fieldName);                     //system.debug('Filed Name in XML field  ' + fieldName);                 }                  system.debug('Filed Name before affing to filevalueXML  ' + fieldName);                                     fileValuesXML.add(fieldName);                 fieldName.clear();                 system.debug('Filed Name after affing to filevalueXML  ' + fileValuesXML);             }    }    I am getting values in debug log as:     Filed Name before affing to filevalueXML  (AccountSource, field3)   Filed Name after affing to filevalueXML  ((), (already output),   (already output)) This question is NOT about access to USB or external drives.  WPS Witer and other just installed Ubuntu software can NOT open files saved on my /media directory. I keep getting the annoying message: « Could not read the contents of '/media': Permission denied ».   MY SIMPLE QUESTION REMAINS:  How can I access all files and folders on my user username/media/ directory?  I'm using Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS.  Ubuntu's Nautilus can indeed access all files and folders in all locations. However, Ubuntu's software that I have downloaded (e.g. KRITA, WPS WRITER etc) can NOT access any file or folder on the /media directory. Thanks in advance. Where are Steam games installed? I want to buy a new notebook in the near future to play games on it. I'm looking forward for the new Steam for Linux client. My question is that where does the Steam install the games, on the home partition, or in the usr folder, or somewhere else? I do not use pre-release (i.e. beta) versions of either Steam or Ubuntu. How much marmelade can I bring into the US? I want to bring homemade berry marmelade in little glass jars with me to the US from Europe as gifts for friends. I have found the following site on importing foods into the US  and would assume that marmelade falls under the condiments category, which should be admissible. However, I am wondering however if there is any limit to how much one is allowed to bring. Will there be any issues if, say, I bring 3 kilograms (6 lbs 10 oz)?   Also on related note, would they be suspiscious when they see many glass jars in my bag? Do I risk getting my bag searched or getting asked what the jars are? Is there anything I can do to avoid any such trouble? What's the best way to take a segment out of a text file? What's a good way of extracting say, lines 20 -45 out of a huge text file. Non-interactively of course! Let $a,b,c,x,y,z&gt;0$ and $x+ y+ z= 1$. Show that $$ax+ by+ cz\geq  a^{x}.b^{y}.c^{z}$$ I have found the generalization of this inequality: For 2 sets of numbers $\left \{ a_{i} \right \}, \left \{ b_{i} \right \}&gt; 0$ and $\sum_{1}^{n}b_{i}= 1$, we have: $$\sum_{1}^{n}\left ( a_{i}b_{i} \right )\geq  \prod_{1}^{n}\left ( a_{i}^{b_{i}} \right )$$ First solution Simply compare the logs: as the natural logarithm is a concave function, one has $$\ln\bigl(a^x b^y c^z)=x\ln a+y\ln b+z\ln c\le \ln(ax+by+cz)$$ for all non-negative $x,y,z$ such that $x+y+z=1$. How about another solution? I really hope to see that. Thanks! What are the complexity guarantees of the standard containers? I just had a case of a user who re-posted his question because his first question was closed as a duplicate. And, logically, I closed his re-post as a duplicate of his original, asking him to edit his original and explain why it's not a duplicate, so we can reopen it.  This process has worked like that for years now, but suddenly I realized that with the new message, question repetition is even encouraged:     This question has been asked before and already has an answer. If those answers do not fully address your question, please ask a new question.   Clearly, a new user who finds their questions closed will now be happy to just post their question again and again, until it's not a duplicate anymore, instead of just fixing their original post.  We need to be more explicit about this, and show this message to the OP of the question:     If those answers do not fully address your question, please edit your question and explain why it is not a duplicate.   The original message should still be visible to other users and visitors, as they can't fix that question, of course.
