Hello all!

This code

@echo off
set var=0001
for /f "tokens=* delims=0" %%~ in ("%var%") do set var=%%~
echo %var%x

Result on Windows 10:

1x

Result on XP:

works on Windows 10 but not on XP. Any ideas why?

It removes leading zeroes.

Thanks.

Usually the ~ introduces modifiers in FOR variables. Do you see the same behavior with a letter as variable name?

You were right - though I think I tried that and I think it didn't work. I replaced '~' with a letter and it works.

Thanks.

FOR /F works on WIN 10 and not on XP
