guys, how do you remove an empty lines in a text file using dos batch?

I tried for loop then delimit the space, but i ended up with "echo on message" on the last part of my text file.

thanks in advance.

Hi Eveyone, how do you code this? i have these files with their file sizes: 357471675_OtherSupporting_page_0001.txt - more than 1000 bytes 357471675_OtherSupporting_page_0002.txt - more than 1000 bytes 357471675_OtherSupporting_page_0003.txt - more than 1000 bytes 357471675_OtherSupporting_page_0004...

thanks for the tip Dave. I have been messing around to do the replacement in batch but no luck. I think hex editor is the only way to do it.

i see.thanks for your time Dave.

Hi Dave,

I have tested you program and it only extract the next 42 lines and it stops.

this is my actual source.log: http://www.mediafire.com/?xhx1c23vey34aj5

thanks Dave, i thought its not that simple, ill try this soon.

Hi everyone, I am wondering if this is doable. I have a log file with these contents: source.log basic: Applet initialized webServer= http://webcodingtpp.nl.post.tnt:80/servlet/TPP-ProductcoderenServlet [05 Jul 2011 01:59:04.151] Getting the image from the server:3768 msec.

Try that code: @echo off &setlocal enabledelayedexpansion set "src=incoming.txt" set "dest=out.xml" >"%dest%" type nul for /f "usebackq skip=1 tokens=* eol=" %%a in ("%src%") do ( set "line=%%a" for /l %%b in (1,1,50) do (set "lin...

yes aGerman I am sure, i am also using your replace script, the one you've given me in vbs, i am using semi-colon as delimeter so i can distiguish the value. Here's the code i am using: for /f "skip=1 tokens=1-3 delims=;" %%a in (source.txt) do ( echo ^<Name^>%%a^</Name^> >>file.xml echo ^...

Hi Everyone, I have a text file with these contents: Name; Description; Remarks Tom; Wild; ; John; ; Absent; ; Honest; Present; What I am doing is that I am extracting the contents into xml using for loop delimited by semi-colon (;), my output: <Name>Tom</Name> <Description>Wild</Description> <Remar...

thanks Acy for the code. Working great.

it will keep going til the end of the file.

i hope it is doable

to simplify, I just want to find a specific string and when found it will echo the line after the found line of the found string.

for example: test.xml <Supplier>Random strings</Supplier> <Number /> <Description /> <Unit /> <Amount /> <Table> <Number /> <Description /> <Unit /> <Amount /> findstr "<Supplier>" test.xml and echo the next line, so the output is: <Number /> anyone?
