Remove weird rectangle at end of line

[Andytan91]

Hello guys i ran the code to remove spaces for the ipconfig command and i met this problem whereby theres an invisible rectangle after .134..i am wondering how to solve this..thanks in advance:)


Result:
IPAddress............:192.168.199.134[]-< weird rectangle


Code:
SETLOCAL EnableDelayedExpansion
IPCONFIG | findstr /C:"IP Address" >> IPCONFIG.txt


for /f "delims=" %%a in (IPCONFIG.txt) do (
set line=%%a
set line=!line: =!
!
echo !line! >> IPCONFIGNS.txt
)

FOR /f "tokens=2 delims=:" %%a IN (IPCONFIGNS.txt) DO (
SET IP=%%a
)

Normally a line ends with 0D 0A (Carriage Return + Line Feed).
The bug of IPCONFIG is that the lines end with 0D 0D 0A. So you have one unintended CR character (some editors show it as rectangle).
If you loop over the output you can normalize it by %%~nxa instead of %%a.

Much shorter and without additional files:

Code: Select all

setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
for /f "delims=: tokens=2" %%a in ('ipconfig^|findstr /c:"IP"') do (set "IP=%%~nxa" &set "IP=!IP: =!")
