Hi, I have a curious output with the echo command in XP. I have the following folders & files: C:\TEST ├───folder1 │ file1.iso │ ├───folder10 │ file10.iso │ ├───folder2 │ file2.iso │ ├───folder3 │ file3.iso │ ├───folder4 │ file4.iso │ ├───folder5 │ file5.iso │ ├───folder6 │ file6.iso │ ├───folde...

Did you make it with goto: ?

Try to remove the double quotes around %%b:

Code: Select all

@echo off
set "pa="
set /p "pa=PA Number: "
if defined pa (
for /f "usebackq tokens=1,* delims=|" %%a in ("%~dp0file.txt") do (
if /i "%%a"=="%pa%" %%b
))

I have an other idea. Put the file.txt and the batch in the same folder and try this: @echo off set "pa=" set /p "pa=PA Number: " if defined pa ( for /f "usebackq tokens=1,* delims=|" %%a in ("%~dp0file.txt") do ( if /i "%%a"=="%pa%" "...

The for loop always goes for in () do.

How do you open *epub to see *opf & inside *opf the info?

What kind of a path is this:

Code: Select all

"\users\*\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook\*.*ST"

What is the error message?

Yes, as I did say before.

Very helpful, thank you. But shoudn't it be:

Code: Select all

set /A DOW=(JDN+1) %% 7

The date 2013/03/24 was Monday

Batch doesn't have a "Date2Number" function, so you have to write your own.

Mmm, the code bricks, if %search% found on line 2 and %updown%=-1 Pattern: [mysearch] found at line 2 in file.txt Target line below zero So it needs a (hopefully ) last modification: @echo off &setlocal set "fname=%~1" if not exist "%fname%" echo File %fname% not found!&g...

Really nice and fast

Search in a file and find lines up or down (e.g. 2 lines up-->updown=-2 / 2 lines down-->updown=2): @echo off &setlocal set "fname=file.txt" set "search=mysearch" set /a updown=2 set "skip0=" set /a skipcount=0 :findloop set "count=" for /f "%skip0%to...
