what is the easiest way to trim off double quote of each line in a txt file

[goodywp]

Hi
I have a txt file like this:

"abcdef/edc/ec/c/"
"abec/sdlkd/dlkdk/"
................
What is the easiest way to trim off the double quote in each line in this txt file..
abcdef/edc/ec/c/
abec/sdlkd/dlkdk/

I tried this way and still got the quote...

Code: Select all

@echo off
If exist schpacklist.txt (del schpacklist.txt)
setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion

for /f "delims=" %%A in (sch_pack_list.txt) do (
    set a=%%A
    echo !a:"=!
   )>>schpacklist.txt

Thanks

Did you read the help file for the FOR command.

Code: Select all

In addition, substitution of FOR variable references has been enhanced.
You can now use the following optional syntax:

    %~I         - expands %I removing any surrounding quotes (")
    %~fI        - expands %I to a fully qualified path name
    %~dI        - expands %I to a drive letter only
    %~pI        - expands %I to a path only
    %~nI        - expands %I to a file name only
    %~xI        - expands %I to a file extension only
    %~sI        - expanded path contains short names only
    %~aI        - expands %I to file attributes of file
    %~tI        - expands %I to date/time of file
    %~zI        - expands %I to size of file
    %~$PATH:I   - searches the directories listed in the PATH
                   environment variable and expands %I to the
                   fully qualified name of the first one found.
                   If the environment variable name is not
                   defined or the file is not found by the
                   search, then this modifier expands to the
                   empty string

The modifiers can be combined to get compound results:

    %~dpI       - expands %I to a drive letter and path only
    %~nxI       - expands %I to a file name and extension only
    %~fsI       - expands %I to a full path name with short names only
    %~dp$PATH:I - searches the directories listed in the PATH
                   environment variable for %I and expands to the
                   drive letter and path of the first one found.
    %~ftzaI     - expands %I to a DIR like output line

I tried this

Code: Select all

@echo off
If exist schpacklist.txt (del schpacklist.txt)

set ofile=sch_pack_list.txt
FOR /F "tokens=*" %%I IN (%ofile%) DO (
	set line=%%~I
	echo %line%
)>>schpacklist.txt

and still got the quote ????

What the heck are you doing? What is the reason for saving the line into a variable before you try to echo it? And if you try to do so why didn't you use delayed expansion in a parenthesized block?

I give up.

[Squashman]

If you make code changes you need to repost the code you are using. Just saying you made a code change and then showing us the output of the code change doesn't help anyone understand what is wrong.

Delayed Expansion was explained to you in your previous question. This is the second time I have linked back to that question to show you that we had already had the answer to a new question you posted.

Cool, now try doing it correctly.
