For /F problem with double quote and space and other char...

[einstein1969]

Hi,

I'm going crazy with the special syntax of the For / F!

I have read this HOW TO: FOR /F Disabling EOF or using a quote as delim but with no result

I have a var that can contain a space and can use double quote at sorround.

Can the for /f eliminate space and double quote and leave the rest?

thanks, Einstein1969

I'm not quite certain what you're looking for
Sounds like

Code: Select all

set "var="Hello World""
echo %var%
set "var=%var:"=%"
echo %var%
echo %var: =%

but sounds also like

Code: Select all

set "var="Hello World""
echo %var%
for /f "delims=" %%i in ("%var%") do for /f "tokens=1,2" %%j in ("%%~i") do echo %%j&echo %%k

or like

Code: Select all

set "var="Hello World""
echo %var%
for /f tokens^=1^,2^ delims^=^"^  %%i in ("%var%") do echo %%i&echo %%j

Thanks a lot! Work!

The third seems faster.

The third seems faster.

Maybe. But does it really matter

The question is if you're aware that all of them are working completely different?
Test again with

Code: Select all

set "var="Say "hello" to the World""
