how to look for a defined string followed by anything
Posted: 30 Oct 2011 20:51
Hi
I need to find out how to look for a defined string, but then look for anything. For example:
Now, the part I'm having a problem with is I can't figure out how to make my batch file look for a random string that occurs after the "defined string" part. I want it to find a random string enclosed in quotes ("") that occurs after the defined string.
Is that possible? Please help me.
Any help would be appreciated,
