How to filter txt file by string with using batch

Hello guys
I know this kind of problem will be very easy for you but I am total beginner in batch mode.

The question is how bat file code should look like to generate a new txt file from specific one .

for example .

I have report txt

Image
What I want to have in new file from this one are only lines :

SingleSite_License 3
Intra_CLIENT_License 9

but both SingleSite_License and Intra_Client_License should be taken from 1st found string -other are not necessary. report txt can be different and licenses can be showed in different order .
if it not possible - other solution can be just only Free value will be written in new txt file - f.e 3 and 9 . so the last string in line which contains specific words

thank you for any tips

Antediluvian,

!k is absolutely right. How should we test any code on an image?! And where did you find any 9? Did you mean the 4 in column "Free"?

In case the values are delimted by spaces or by tabs the following could work:-

Code: Select all

@echo off &setlocal
for /f "tokens=3" %%a in ('findstr /i /c:"SingleSite_License" report.txt') do if not defined SSL set "SSL=%%a"
for /f "tokens=3" %%a in ('findstr /i /c:"Intra_CLIENT_License" report.txt') do if not defined ICL set "ICL=%%a"
(
  echo SingleSite_License %SSL%
  echo Intra_CLIENT_License %ICL%
)>new.txt
