reading a TEXT file and i need to bring a structure into it

[nnnmmm]

WEB.BAT has

Code: Select all

@ECHO OFF
SET K1=M:\WEB.TXT

SET DS1=7
SET DS2=75
SetLocal EnableExtensions EnableDelayedExpansion

SET CC=0
FOR /F "DELIMS=" %%V IN ('TYPE "%K1%"') DO (
   SET /A CC=!CC!+1

   IF !CC! GEQ 1 IF !CC! LEQ 9 SET DD= !CC!
   IF !CC! GTR 9 SET DD=!CC!

   SET "VV=%%V"
REM   SET "VV=!VV:&=^&!"
   ECHO !DD! !VV:~%DS1%,%DS2%!

   IF !CC! EQU 35 GOTO SCREEN_FULL
)
:SCREEN_FULL
PAUSE

WEB.TXT has

web.bat displays & but not "!"
how can i make it display "!"?
putting this &=^& corrupts website with ^&
can this be done internally?

First, it seems that you want to cut off the protocol specifier. HTTP and HTTPS have different lengths. So, your DS1 of 7 doesn't make sense. Taking a backslash as delimiter is more suitable.
As to your problem: You define variable VV with delayed expansion enabled. That won't work.

Code: Select all

@echo off &setlocal EnableExtensions DisableDelayedExpansion

for /f "tokens=1,2* delims=:/" %%i in ('type "web.txt"^|findstr /n "^"') do (
  set "line= %%i"
  set "address=%%k"

  setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
  echo !line:~-2! !address!
  endlocal

  if %%i equ 35 goto SCREEN_FULL
)

:SCREEN_FULL
pause

i couldnt bring a structure in your code for me to use it or upgrade it further

Code: Select all

@ECHO OFF
setlocal EnableExtensions DisableDelayedExpansion
SET K1=M:\WEB.TXT
SET DS1=0
SET DS2=35

SET CC=0
FOR /F "tokens=*" %%V in ('TYPE "%K1%"') DO (

  setlocal DisableDelayedExpansion
  set "VV=%%V"
  setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion

   SET /A CC=!CC!+1
   IF !CC! GEQ 1 IF !CC! LEQ 9 SET DD=0!CC!
   IF !CC! GTR 9 SET DD=!CC!

   IF !CC!==3 (ECHO !DD!              pass
   ) ELSE (

     SetLocal EnableDelayedExpansion
        ECHO !DD!   !VV:~%DS1%,%DS2%!
     EndLocal
   )
  
   IF !CC! EQU 35 GOTO :SCREEN_FULL
)
:SCREEN_FULL
ECHO.
PAUSE

if WEB.TXT has more than 15 items in the list, it fails and says maximum setlocal RECURSION level reached,
windows batch commands have many unfathomable operators but they have no structures whatsoever, even for a code as simple as the above, i will try using CALL from an external file. i did this way once and kind of worked (at least 1st test drive). you may be right "cant be done" internally. i'd like to ask again when my external batch is ready, thanks for the help

Think about the following:
- delayed expansion is disabled at the beginning, thus it is disabled at the beginning of your loop already
- incrementing the number works always using SET /A "CC+=1" and doesn't need delayed expansion enabled
- only outputting or working with updated values needs enabled delayed expansion
- every SETLOCAL without ENDLOCAL in the body of your loop will lead to the maximum recursion error earlier or later.
- once you leave a subenvironment using ENDLOCAL, the previous expansion state is restored

Excuse me, but I don't understand what "bring a structure into a text file" means. Is this your input data file?

If so, why don't you post what is the desired output given such an input? In this way, we could help you to get such result. By the way, this is the standard method to request help...

The code given to you by aGerman certainly looks like it solves your problem. I am not sure why you have not attempted to use his code. All you did was update your code with what you thought might be a new solution.

>> SET /A "CC+=1"
i will try this way now. i dont know C compiler, i know fortran and true basic, and some pascal (but much was forgotten)
i have limited knowledge of DOS commands, especailly DOS operators.

>> bring a structure into it
i meant this way by being able to put IF statement inside so that i could handle and filter things.

i need to feed unimaginably long registries, i dont need to see all string lengths, but if i can chop and view overall somewhere maybe like [20:100] or [40: 120] string regions to identify some key words inside, then i can link that registry to nircmdc.exe to find it. such is also the case with long website addresses. i will link this kind of batches with ztree file manager.

i will get back to you hopefully in few days, thanks for the help
