Re: grep + HTML angle brackets?

Thanks for the infos.

Turns out the "Binaries" file also requires the "Dependencies", which I missed.

https://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/grep.htm

It's working OK.

[SOLVED] grep + HTML angle brackets?

Hello, Unless there's a better alternative, I tried GNU grep 2.5.4 but it fails finding lines with HTML tags. Is there a way in Windows10's cmd to accept angle brackets? C:\>grep --version C:\>grep --help C:\>grep C:\>grep -Poha "<h2>" input.html C:\>grep -Poha "^<h2^>" input.html Thank you.

Rename filename to remove invalid characters?

Hello, I'd like to use an HTML's title as filename, but it may contain invalid characters like question marks, etc. Do you know of a way to rewrite a string so that it's DOS-legit?

Re: Read grep's output and send email?

Thanks, although curl's output is full of HTML while grep only returns 0/1.

Code: Select all

@echo off
echo Check something
wget -qO - https://www.acme.com | grep -c "something"
The next step is to 1) check the result, and if it's 1, send an email (eg. mail.exe -s "Found" -to me@isp.com smtp.isp.com).

Re: Loop and append different string to each file?

Simple enough :-) Still, would it be possible to use a second loop, since I won't know the names of the input files? I only used 1.txt 2.txt as examples. @echo off if "%~1"=="" GOTO PARAM setlocal enableextensions enabledelayedexpansion set items[0]="Some text" set items[1]="Some other text" set ite...

Re: Redirect output to file without using > sign?

The problem is that an input file may contain tens of thousands of track points, ie. latitude + longtidude tuples.

Maybe I should just forget about cmd batch files for this task, and require installing a full scripting language like Perl or Python.

Re: Redirect output to file without using > sign?

Can method #2 be modified somehow to include a call to grep in the middle, so that I can fetch track points from GPX files, insert them, and then append the end of the structure? @Echo OFF (For /F "Skip=2 Tokens=2 Delims=<>" %%A in (%~F0) Do Echo/^<%%A^>)>Output.xml Goto :EOF :<?xml version="1.0" en...
