The for loop with the reassignment of %%a worked fine. It doesn't give me the option of using multiple multi-character strings, but using one long one multiple times is nearly as good.

My "solution" was also a red herring. Using the delims I showed above; thisxismyxy xyz filex xyz xyeah returns this ism file Edit: I don't think foxidrive's solution will work for me because of the nature of what I'm trying to do. I'm attempting to read directories and substitute parts of ...

Figured it out, sort of. I can do this and have it split on xyz tokens=1,2,3 delims=(xyz) so this myxyzfilexyzhere can become my file here and that's a big improvement, but I still haven't gotten it to work on two multi-character delims or more properly, "tokens=1,2,3 delims=(foo)" just to...

I'd like to use delims to have my tokens separated by strings instead of a single character. For instance, in the string below foo and bar would be my delims thisfooisbarmyString So token 1 would be this, 2 is, 3 myString However this would only work if I can get delims to use multi-character string...
