Yet Another FOR /F Question

[alleypuppy]

Hi all,

I have another FOR /F question. I want to know how to extract the contents of one line of the results of a FOR /F command. For example, I want to get the host name of the computer with this IP, so I use this command:

Code: Select all

FOR /F "TOKENS=1" %a IN ('NBTSTAT.EXE -a 192.168.1.68') DO @ECHO %a

The results are as follows:

Code: Select all

Local
Node
NetBIOS
Name
---------------------------------------------
DELL-PC
DELL-PC
WORKGROUP
WORKGROUP
WORKGROUP
..__MSBROWSE__.<01>
MAC

I want to extract the first occurrence of "DELL-PC" from this list. Is this possible?

Thanks for any help!

Code: Select all

@echo off

set "$t="
::
FOR /F "skip=5 TOKENS=1" %%? IN (
   'NBTSTAT.EXE -a 192.168.1.68'
) DO if not defined $t (
   set "$t=%%~?"
)
echo.$t=%$t%_

pause
exit /b

To think you almost had it right

To think you almost had it right

Haha almost!

The code works perfectly! I had to change the skip number from 5 to 8 though. Thanks again!
