Compare Strings

[osramos]

Hello. I need some help doing a bat file

The problem is this, i want to check if a log generated by TSM when finishes the backup everithyng is ok. The only thing i need to compare is this 2 lines

01/12/2009 09:24:53 Total SQL backups selected: 6
01/12/2009 09:24:53 Total SQL backups attempted: 6
01/12/2009 09:24:53 Total SQL backups completed: 6
01/12/2009 09:24:53 Total SQL backups excluded: 0
01/12/2009 09:24:53 Total SQL backups inactivated: 5

and the number on the end od the line ( in this case is 6 ). Is it's not equal then the bat file should return error. My problem is that i already use the FINDSTR to check both lines but i sees the line from start to the end, doesn't break before the number 6.

Is there a way to check these 2 lines and compare them ( should be only tne numbers because the lines are diferent from one another ).

Regards

Hi osramos,

the findstr seems to be the right way.

But then you have to use the output and split it with the FOR /F "tokens=..." command.

Somthing like

Code: Select all

FOR /F "tokens=7" %%a in ('findstr "attempted" myFile.tmp') do set att=%%a
FOR /F "tokens=7" %%c in ('findstr "completed" myFile.tmp') do set comp=%%c
