some executable, returns a string. Any idea how to set this string in to variable?. or recover string from terminal window??


I execute

Net time \\{ip for any computer}
Return:
Current time at \\{ip for any computer} is {date and time}


and set Date and time a variable this no promblem

Is this what you want?

Yeah Men, I luv u!!!!!!!


i got my data with:

example
-----------------
FOR /F "tokens=6*" %%A IN ('Net time \\{ip any computer}') DO set my_var=%%A %%B

Echo %my_var%

-----------------
today this resolved my problem

but if the execute had a result with many lines you can see only the last line.
if the last line had a less tokens than penultimate you can see the last words or tokens of penultimate lines.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

for other poeple to wants resolve that

FOR /F

Syntax
FOR /F ["options"] %%parameter IN (filenameset) DO command

FOR /F ["options"] %%parameter IN ("Text string to process") DO command

Key
options:
delims=xxx The delimiter character(s) (default = a space)

skip=n A number of lines to skip at the beginning of the file.
(default = 0)

eol=; Character at the start of each line to indicate a comment
The default is a semicolon ;

tokens=n Specifies which numbered items to read from each line
(default = 1)

usebackq Specify `back quotes`:
- Use double quotes to quote long file names in filenameset.
- Use single quotes for 'Text string to process'
(useful if the text string contains double quotes)

Filenameset : A set of one or more files. Wildcards may be used.
If (filenameset) is a period character (.) then FOR will
loop through every file in the folder.
command : The command to carry out, including any
command-line parameters.

%%parameter : A replaceable parameter:
in a batch file use %%G (on the command line %G)

You can use a combination of "skip" and/or a goto statement to eliminate extra lines:


The above will skip the first 2 lines of output and run the command on the rest of the lines of output.

The above will test for what you want and then effectively exit the for loop using a goto command. Note that the GOTO trick does NOT work fully with a "for /l" loop.

avery larry, I did my homework

thanks men with the help


for other people I have this code
