#1 Post by mkatih » 10 Feb 2020 03:19

Hello all :) ,

I have a DOS Batch that export data from an application,

After this export I get a ".csv" that end by a semicolon,

If your DOS Batch exports the data, just change that part of the code that prints the line and avoid the semicolon at the end of the line or remove it:

Code: Select all

:: sample code removing the last character of a line in environment variable
set "line=Test line;"
echo(%line:~0,-1%
