How do delete symbols from findstr result

[Werna]

Hello Experts,
I am struggeling with my bat-File which searches the string "created" in a File and then it should print it out.
It works but I really do not know how to delete the last symbols *)
 which are part of the string that is read from the file

Could anyone give me a hint?...please, please

Code: Select all

@ECHO OFF
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
@REM File to be deleted
SET logfile="CreationDateOverview.txt"
@REM Try to delete the file only if it exists
IF EXIST %logfile% del /F %logfile%
ECHO ********************************************************************************************** >> %logfile%
FOR /F "tokens=1,4 delims=( " %%G IN ('FINDSTR /i "created" *.xml') DO (
SET str=%%H
ECHO %%G !str! >> %logfile%)
ECHO *************************************** >> %logfile%
CALL "notepad.exe" %logfile%

The Output is as follows:
FB_Toggle_pou_backup.xml: 2016-02-03T12:46:33.0288178*)

This is the only change: >> %logfile% ECHO %%G !str:~0,-7!

Code: Select all

@ECHO OFF
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
@REM File to be deleted
SET logfile="CreationDateOverview.txt"
@REM Try to delete the file only if it exists
IF EXIST %logfile% del /F %logfile%
ECHO ********************************************************************************************** >> %logfile%
FOR /F "tokens=1,4 delims=( " %%G IN ('FINDSTR /i "created" *.xml') DO (
SET str=%%H
>> %logfile% ECHO %%G !str:~0,-7!)
ECHO *************************************** >> %logfile%
CALL "notepad.exe" %logfile%
