Just curious... What is the %%I for?

Code: Select all

for /f "usebackq tokens=1 delims=:" %%I in (`findstr.exe /n /i /c:"%search%" temp1.txt`) do call :GetArchive %%I <---

I dont see it getting used anywhere...

It gets referenced in :GetArchive as %1 and it tells the for loop in that subroutine how many lines to skip

I made a little improvement returning a full row find

Code: Select all

@echo off

set "file=report.txt"
set "search=%1"

findstr.exe /n /I /C:"#" /I /C:"%search%"  "%file%" | sort.exe /r /o temp1.txt

for /f "usebackq tokens=1 delims=:" %%I in (`findstr.exe /n /i /c:"%search%" temp1.txt`) do call :GetArchive %%I

del temp1.txt
goto :EOF

:GetArchive
(for /l %%i in (1,1,%1) do set /P "row=") < temp1.txt

for /f "usebackq  skip=%1  tokens=2 delims=#" %%X in (temp1.txt) do (
	echo %search% %%X %row%
	goto :EOF
)

You're welcome!

That makes me a bit curious: did you time this one too, @Squashman?
