Thanks for your detailed answer.

With today's files I mean last modified.

Though I tried around with dir and didn't work so far . I'll keep on trying.

You can find todays files here: dir /a-d /od /t[cw] *.xml | findstr %date%

Thank you for your quick response !

Pardon me. I'am really new to programming and .batch.

Where do I have to add this code properly?

Hey everyone, My current .batch is extracting specific values from XML files which I need. The problem is that I only need the values/data from todays date . Therefore, it should only extract from the newest XML files. (from today) The Code: @echo off & setlocal enabledelayedexpansion (for /F &q...

Wow, I feel really relived.

It works perfeclty now.

Guess it was really my own mistake. Didn't read the instuctions clearly

Thank you so much for your support ! Highly , highly appreciated !

Yes I saw your last post.

cmd gives me for date: 05/04/2017

It still won't work for me. gives me the same errors as mentioned before.

those XML files are also dated with their time, if it matters...

e.g: 5/3/2017 11:20 AM.

If there is more data , which might help, I'd gladly provide.

ERROR: Invalid date specified.

hey penpen I suspect you just don't belive me (whyever)?! not at all ! I'am just really unexperienced in .bat and therefore I missunderstand still a lot. I honestly appreciate all your help and patience with me. I tried your "mybatAnd.bat" again. Gives me: ERROR: Invalid argument/option - ...

ok, I think this is getting out of hand since I didn't made my point clearly I think. I'am really sorry for this. Thousands of XML files are genereted each day and I just need specific ones. Moreover I just need those from todays date. XML files from yesterday or so aren't in my interest. XML files ...

This worked perfectly ! Thank you so much ! @echo off & setlocal enabledelayedexpansion & rem only guessing (for /F "tokens=1,2 delims=<>" %%a, in ('findstr "Name=\"PHIL\" currentState=\"Executive13\"" *.xml') do ( set "list=%%b" for /F "...

Hey all again , I'm having a problem with my batch script. I am trying to extract the time & date but due to the colon it gives me an incomplete date & time. Here's the script: (for /F "tokens=1,2 delims=:<>" %%a, in ('findstr "Name=\"PHIL\" currentState=\"Execu...

thanks for the response !

Yes, both attributes occur always on the same line.

So it must be AND.

It doesn't work for me somehow. May you explain me what exactly I have to modify?

I'am sorry for asking this

Thank you so much for your effort. Unfortunately I forgot to mention an important detail. My bad sorry The .batch should extract only the newest date, (todays date) since thousands of XML files are genereted every day. How do I modify my.bat with your code (OR & AND) if I don"t use findstr?...

Hello everyone, I'am really new to .batch, so please bear with me I have thousands of XML files but only certain need to be moved into another folder. To speed up the process it only needs to read and extract the first 10 lines since the information I need is given at the very begining. My batch fil...
