Delete unwanted time strings

#1 Post by Palladyn6 » 20 May 2019 11:27

Hello, I got large amount of files that contains "date start-time end-time" in one column. I would like to remove start time to get "date end-time" in one column and save all data to another file.
Input file:
"2190";"14.05.2019 01:00:00 - 01:15:00";"43598.9687500000";"294 msec";"294.0000";"108 msec";"108.0000";"1 017 msec";"1016.6667";"0 %";"0.0000";"0 %";"0.0000";"100 %";"0000010000"
"2190";"14.05.2019 01:15:00 - 01:30:00";"43598.9791666667";"355 msec";"355.2000";"114 msec";"113.6667";"1 302 msec";"1302.3333";"0 %";"0.0000";"0 %";"0.0000";"100 %";"0000010000"

Try that piece of code:

Code: Select all

@echo off &setlocal
set "infile=test.csv"
set "outfile=updated.csv"

>"%outfile%" (for /f "usebackq tokens=1,3*" %%i in ("%infile%") do echo %%i %%k)
Is jrepl.bat able to make it?
For sure.

Code: Select all

call JREPL.bat " [0-2]\d(:[0-5]\d){2} -" "" /F "%infile%" /O "%outfile%"
