Re: Need to launch BIOS update files

Try to remove the double quotes around %%b:

Code: Select all

@echo off
set "pa="
set /p "pa=PA Number: "
if defined pa (
for /f "usebackq tokens=1,* delims=|" %%a in ("%~dp0file.txt") do (
if /i "%%a"=="%pa%" %%b
))

Search in a file and find lines up or down (e.g. 2 lines up-->updown=-2 / 2 lines down-->updown=2): @echo off &setlocal set "fname=file.txt" set "search=mysearch" set /a updown=2 set "skip0=" set /a skipcount=0 :findloop set "count=" for /f "%skip0%to...
