Ok it is tricky. On the command line the set /a echo's also the result, but in the batch file it is quite. So you have to output explicit. setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion for /f "delims=:" %%i in ('certutil -v -store My ^| findstr /i /n "_ID(20)"') do ( set /a n=%%i+1 echo !n! ) ...

You could put it into a batch file myFind.bat @echo off for /F "usebackq delims=" %%a in (`findstr %1 %2`) DO ( set "line=%%a" ) REM ** remove the line number, all characters to the first ":" set "line=%line:*:=%" REM ** remove all spaces set "line=%line:...

Hmmm ?

You redirect it to a file (tmp.txt), so I don't understand what your question is?

Hi A_Bobby,

this should work



The main problem was, that the output of the SET command is always without line end (CR/LF).

hope it helps

Yes, findstr fails, because the last line have no line end.

you could replace the $ with ^^ in findstr, so it also finds the last line of a file.

Ok, if you use the standard BatchSubstitute you can not replace single quotes, because it is not possible to create a cmd-line-parameter with a single quote. But you can use the improved Batchsubstitute http://www.dostips.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=1516&p=5713 And use BatchSubstitute.bat ...

Ok, but what do you try, that fails?

Hi dragonfly,

do you tested anything, or do you only think about it?
I can't see any problems in removing all quotes, with the standard batch syntax.

Hi JDV,

you could try the "improved Batch Substitute" http://www.dostips.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=1516.

The problem seems to be the find command, it have problems with long lines.
findstr accept more characters.

Hi JDV,

first have question.
Do you use the batch substitute from the library or the improved version from the forum?
Is your input file in ascii or unicode format?

Hi, OK, I know the standard answer: It is not possible with pure batch. But some minor things are possible and well known. Like echoing into the same line with the set /p trick <nul set /p ".=This echos without CR-LF at the end <nul set /p ".=...This text is appended in the same line Then ...

Hi maniacal, The problem occured when trying to calculate the total milliseconds passed today, which happens to be a very large number and thus set /a couldn't handle its size. A day have 86400 seconds, that are 86.400.000 milli seconds, that is a small number, even for the set /a arithmetic But it ...

Hi aGerman,

the

The enclosing parenthesis are only to ensure, that after !line! is no extra/invisible space.

Hi, the current BatchSubstitute.bat has several limitations - Lines starting with "]" character will end up empty - OldStr must not start with "*", "~" or "%", must not contain "=" - NewStr must not contain "%" - Lines must not contain any ...

Hi myjet, you can solve this with delayed expansion, because the characters are not interpreted then. @echo off setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion echo Enter your question set /p question= echo %question% set "text=<satu><item soalan='%question%' jawapanA='A: " echo !text!>> Question1.xml exi...
