Re: single line in runonce

Try including the echo inside the brackets like this:

Code: Select all

for %%i in (A:,B:,D:,E:,F:,G:,H:,I:,J:,K:,L:,M:,N:,O:,P:,Q:,R:,S:,T:,U:,V:,W:,X:,Y:,Z:,) do (if exist %%i\autounattend.xml set usb=%%i & echo the usb drive is %usb%)

Re: Split text file at start marker and blank line or just start marker into multiple files

This is very simple to perform with JREPL.BAT :D Assuming the input file is indeed UTF-16 LE, and you want your output to be the same, then: jrepl "^(\d+) DIALOG" "$txt=$0; openOutput($1+'.rc',false,true);" /jq /utf /f dialog.rc The /jq option instructs that the 2nd argument is JScript code. The /u...

Re: Split text file at start marker and blank line or just start marker into multiple files

Don't rely on NP++. It can't handle UTF-16 (it doesn't even know of UTF-16). This was reported as bug way more than 10 years ago but the developers ignore it. Thus, they ignore the existence of languages like Japanese, Chinese and Korean on Windows. That's weird and the main reason why I once stopp...

Re: Split text file at start marker and blank line or just start marker into multiple files

@aGerman @Aacini Thank you, both solutions create the individual files but they contain garbage characters :( I assume this is because the input file is unicode, Notepad++ reports it has "UCS-2 LE BOM" encoding I tried changing the following section of code < Dialog.rc ( to type Dialog.rc ^|( but th...

Split text file at start marker and blank line or just start marker into multiple files

I am trying to decide the best way of splitting the following single .rc file into mutiple files. The start of each split are the lines where the first column is a number and the second column begins with the word DIALOG The end of each split should be either a blank line or another start line (in c...

Re: Delete substring using variable inside for /f

This problem has been solved by both @aGerman and @Squashman :)

But I wonder if its possible to tweak the solution from @Squashman so that it works without the call statement?

Call Set "_dummy=%%_cities:!_substr!=%%"

Thank you

For /f processing delimited string

for /f "delims=?" %A in ("123?456?789") do echo %A

This runs the loop once and sets %A to 123

I want it to loop for each substring based on the delimiter so that I can run a number of commands on %A

Loop 1 %A = 123
Loop 2 %A = 456
Loop 3 %A = 789

Thank you

Re: Delete substring using variable inside for /f

That does work but I was hoping to find a way to fix the existing code without adding another for loop.

Maybe some extra exclamation or percent characters.

Thanks.

Delete substring using variable inside for /f

I am trying to delete a substring from a variable using another variable inside a for /f loop. The "Setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion" is required for other code. The following example does not work. Please help. Thank you. @Echo off for /f "delims=" %%F in ('dir /b "C:\Windows"') do ( Setlocal Enable...
