Hi

I'm trying to remove the first 67 characters and here's what I've got so far:

@echo off & setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
set "txt=*.txt"

set N=
for /f "tokens=* delims= " %%a in ('type "!txt!"') do (
set /a N+=1
if !N! lss 3 set S=!S!%%a
)
> Result.txt echo.!S:~67!

for /f "tokens=* skip=2 delims= " %%a in ('type "!txt!"') do (
echo.%%a
) >> Result.txt

goto :eof

It's work as expected only for one file.
I need it to loop the code for all files in a folder.

Can someone help me out?
Thanks!

You might want to use only one file per loop and add an outer loop (to not mix up files).
This might help you (but is untested):

Code: Select all

@echo off & setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
set "txt=*.txt"

:: the following line will delete the content of "Result.txt", if you don't want that delete it
>"Result.txt" rem:
for %%A in ("%txt%") do(
	set N=
	for /f "tokens=* delims= " %%a in ('type "%%~A"') do (
		set /a N+=1
		if !N! lss 3 set S=!S!%%a
	)
	>>"Result.txt" echo.!S:~67!

	for /f "tokens=* skip=2 delims= " %%a in ('type "%%~A"') do (
		echo.%%a
	) >>"Result.txt"
)

goto :eof
