I'm having a problem...
When I use the FOR command to load a file that has just one realy long line (like 50000+ chars). it does not load and no warning error appears, looks like the file was loaded, but no lines were found.

Code: Select all

for /f "tokens=*" %%c in ("%file%") do (...)

Why ? How to correct this?

Yes. Probably some kind of limit.

There's probably another way you can do this, what is it exactly that you are trying to do?

Im trying to load this file to get some values of this line.
And write another file with these values.

More specifically, I want to get time and text values to make a subtitle.

i'd probably use sed or something similar to extract patterns of text.
