Well you have delayed expansion enabled. It would help if you used it.

if !string:~%counter%,1! EQU 1

Surprised your searching did not find any of these links. It is right on the main DosTips.com site library. https://www.dostips.com/?t=Snippets.FileSize As well as discussed in several threads.

%systemroot% is a variable which means you need double expansion.

Code: Select all

if "%%~a"=="DataBasePath" CALL set "hostspath=%%b"

Thank you for the reply... If I add ^ infront of the problematic characters (, ), | What would the line look like? I'm not familiar with that character. Isn't that line a remark? Why would the cmd interpreter care what characters are in a remark? Thank you, Are you saying you are not familiar with ...

Escaping the quotes shouldn't be necessary:
Code: Select all
for /f delims^= %%g in ('""D:\some\path\with blanks inside\myprog.exe" -p "......" %1"') do set "....."

We have a discussion about it here on DosTips. I will see if I can dig up that thread.

OK I see now. I just had another issue when the fist line string has one space at the end. the folder will become 5 digits Schemes_to_Sign_for_829501 the folder will be 29501.

An extra set of escaped double quotes would have done the trick.

Code: Select all

for /F "Tokens=*" %%G in (' ^""D:\some\path\with blanks inside\myprog.exe" -p "......" %1^"') do set "....."

Code: Select all

for %%G in ("aaaa.dat") do for /f "tokens=1-5 delims=/: " %%H IN ("%%~tG") do set "aaaats=%%J%%H%%I%%K%%L"

You are asking to create a folder but then you go on to say that several files alrea...

Why haven't you attempted to do this task yourself?
You have certainly been given enough code examples over the past 7 years to accomplish this task.
