working with for loops /tokens

[flaskvacuum]

not too sure why i can't print the value %%h

Code: Select all

file format is:
10.5.33.166 username01 passwd01 dog,cat,monkey 
  
        for /F "tokens=2,3*" %%i in (%File_dbname%) do (
        echo %%i >> %File_Get-Log%
        echo %%h >> %File_Get-Log%
        )

current result shown:
username01
%h

What is "%%h"? If you start with "%%i", the next for loop variable name is "%%j".

Oh, i didn't know have to be in aplabatical order. Now most of my code are working. Thank you so much for the great pointers! Really learn from coding it then to just read it and assume then i understand it all.
Thanks a million.

Well is that not the most logical way to do it? How else would it assign the variables?
What would have been your thought process for accessing the 4th token which holds dog,cat,monkey as its value?
