I have a situation where I'm trying to keep a static list of related items in a string and parse them out as sets in a bat file.
SET RootPath=C:\Users\woodh\test\
SET FromPath=StuffFrom\
SET ToPath=StuffTo\
SET CTLNames='text1.txt,red_text1:text2.txt,white_text2:text3.txt,blue_text3:'
With CTLNames containing pairs of entries to be parsed and consumed in the job.
I did the following
:Step20
rem -----------------------------------------------------------------
rem loop thru all files in the control list processing each pair at a time
rem -----------------------------------------------------------------
FOR /F "delims=:" %%f IN (%CTLNames%) DO (
IF NOT "%%f" == "" (
CALL:BreakEntry "%%f"
)
)
:Finish
rem ----------------------------------------------------------------
rem -- Finish
rem ----------------------------------------------------------------
goto end
:BreakEntry
rem -----------------------------------------------------------------
rem loop thru all files in the control list processing each entry one at a time
rem -----------------------------------------------------------------
Set EntryLine=%~1
IF NOT "%EntryLine%" == "" (
ECHO %EntryLine%
FOR /F "tokens=1,2 delims=," %%a IN ("%EntryLine%") DO (
ECHO %%a
ECHO %%b
CALL:MoveThisFile %%a, %%b
)
)
goto:eof
But It's only processing the first pair of names and not continuing through the rest of the list.
Your question is confusing. You didn't explained what exactly is the purpose of your code nor the expected output, so we can only guess. So I guess that you have a series of pairs of values separated by colon, and that each pair of values is separated by comma. This way, the problem with your code is that for /F command does not iterate over several values when just one string is processed: the string is divided accordingly to "tokens and delims" options and the command is executed just one time. You need to use a different method to process all substring in the string.
This is the way I would do it:
#echo off
setlocal
SET "CTLNames=text1.txt,red_text1:text2.txt,white_text2:text3.txt,blue_text3:"
for %%f in ("%CTLNames::=" "%") do (
for /F "tokens=1,2 delims=," %%a in (%%f) do (
echo %%a
echo %%b
echo CALL :MoveThisFile %%a, %%b
)
)
I suggest you to remove the #echo off line and execute the program, so you may review what exactly is executed.
The reason why it doesn't work as expected (it only prints the 1st pair), is because for /f works on lines; CTLNames only consists of a line so a single iteration is needed.
The confusing part is that it still printed the 1st pair...that is because it actually did the split (on the 1st :) but by default for only cares about the 1st token (before the delim) and drops the rest. You can convince yourself by changing the line to:
FOR /F "tokens=* delims=:" %%f IN (%CTLNames%) DO (
you'll see that the value of %%f (because we instructed it to take all the tokens into account) is the whole line.
The reason why I asked if the COLON(:) is mandatory as a separator between pairs, is because you can also iterate over a non numeric list - no /f flag, but here you can't specify the delimiter so you must use a regular one: SPACE( ), COMMA(,), SEMICOLON(;), TAB, and maybe others (anyway COLON is not one of them) - so this loop:
for %%f in (text1.txt:red_text1 text2.txt:white_text2 text3.txt:blue_text3;) do (
echo %%f
)
- note that I used 3 separators: TAB, SPACE and SEMICOLON in the for loop (not sure how visible it is) -
would yield:
text1.txt:red_text1
text2.txt:white_text2
text3.txt:blue_text3
Or you could use regular separators everywhere, and give up at the pair concept altogether, but I don't know if this is what you want.
I wasn't able to solve the problem using COLON as a separator from a single for loop, but I was able to find a way. Here's your script (slightly modified):
#ECHO OFF
rem ECHO %CTLNames%
CALL :Step20 "%CTLNames%"
GOTO :eof
:Step20
rem -----------------------------------------------------------------
rem loop thru all files in the control list processing each pair at a time
rem -----------------------------------------------------------------
IF "" == "%~1" GOTO :eof
FOR /F "tokens=1* delims=:" %%f IN ("%~1") DO (
rem echo f: %%f
CALL :BreakEntry "%%f"
CALL :Step20 "%%g%
)
GOTO :eof
:BreakEntry
rem -----------------------------------------------------------------
rem loop thru all files in the control list processing each entry one at a time
rem -----------------------------------------------------------------
Set EntryLine=%~1
ECHO %EntryLine%
FOR /F "tokens=1,2 delims=," %%a IN ("%EntryLine%") DO (
ECHO %%a
ECHO %%b
rem CALL :MoveThisFile %%a, %%b
)
GOTO :eof
The main thing is (besides other small changes) that Step20 is a recursive function (label), and it uses the for loop to split the line, it processes the 1st token, then it calls itself on the remaining tokens (until there are no more left).
Note: the single quotes surrounding CTLNames should be removed.

I am running Windows 10 Pro using batch files (open to using VBS and PS1 files) and I have a text file automatically exported by software that can look like this:
Sub_Group691_FE7IP11_2017-12-12.sldasm_bin/parts/Loft-Project.sldasm_bin/parts/Loft-Project...
Sub_Group691_FE7IP12_2017-12-12.sldasm_bin/parts/Loft-Project.sldasm_bin/parts/Loft-Project...
Sub_Group691_FE7IP13_2017-12-12.sldasm_bin/parts/Loft-Project.sldasm_bin/parts/Loft-Project...
Each line continues specifying sub-parts after the "..." and could contain "poison" characters. The Sub_Group part is pulled from the filename and can also contain "poison" characters.
What I am looking to do is export just the filename which is right at the beginning of each line, up to and including the first file extension, in this case ".sldasm." Everything to the right of the first instance of .sldasm should be trimmed.
What I have cobbled together so far from research on Stackoverflow is:
#ECHO OFF
SETLOCAL ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION
SET "inputfile=C:\Scratch\ASMExport.txt"
SET "outputfile=C:\Scratch\InputFiles.txt"
(
FOR /f "usebackqdelims=" %%a IN ("%inputfile%") DO (
SET "currentline=%%a"
ECHO("!currentline:.sldasm=.sldasm & rem "!"
)
)>"%outputfile%"
GOTO :EOF
My problem lies with the "rem" line, which does not seem to work as intended either because of being within a FOR loop or because of needing to enable delayed expansion. It seems to be parsing the "& rem" as text, which looks to be because of the way delayed expansion works. What I get from the above lines is:
SubGroup691_FE7IP11_2017-12-12.sldasm" & rem "/bin/parts/Loft-Project.sldasm" & rem ""
SubGroup691_FE7IP12_2017-12-12.sldasm" & rem "/bin/parts/Loft-Project.sldasm" & rem ""
SubGroup691_FE7IP13_2017-12-12.sldasm" & rem "/bin/parts/Loft-Project.sldasm" & rem ""
I can use this same line outside the loop and without ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION like this:
#ECHO OFF
SETLOCAL
SET "inputstring=Sub_Group691_FE7IP11_2017-12-12.sldasm_bin/parts/Loft-Project.sldasm_bin/parts/Loft-Project"
SET "outputstring=%inputstring:.sldasm=.sldasm & rem "%"
echo %outputstring%
The output to that would give me what I am looking for:
Sub_Group691_FE7IP11_2017-12-12.sldasm
In searching, I am beginning to think that rem cannot be used in this way, and I must move to a token delimiter loop using a bogus delimiter.
I would be content in getting this to work and not worrying about "poison" characters in the filename by being diligent about naming files correctly.
Thank you for your help!
The & rem approach to truncate strings to the right cannot work with delayed expansion (!), it relies on normal/immediate expansion (%). This is because immediate expansion is done before commands (like rem) are recognised, but delayed expansion happens afterwards, so the rem command is never executed.
However, you could in the loop replace every .sldasm by a forbidden character like | and then split the string by a for /F loop, like this:
#echo off
setlocal EnableExtensions DisableDelayedExpansion
set "InputFile=C:\Scratch\ASMExport.txt"
set "OutputFile=C:\Scratch\InputFiles.txt"
set "Extension=.sdlasm"
> "%OutputFile%" (
for /F usebackq^ delims^=^ eol^= %%A in ("%InputFile%") do (
set "CurrentLine=%%A"
setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
set "CurrentLine=!CurrentLine:%Extension%=|!"
for /F "delims=|" %%B in ("!CurrentLine!") do (
endlocal
echo(%%B
setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
)
endlocal
)
)
endlocal
exit /B
Delayed expansion is toggled so that no for variables become expanded when it is enabled, in order to avoid loss of or problems with exclamation marks.

You would need to change the setting of sourcedir to suit your circumstances.
I used a file named q47788829.txt containing your data for my testing.
You should be able to assemble your required report data from the elements %%a..%%e displayed. All a matter of using tokens and delims constructively.
If your input is the text that you wrote, with the same structure, I think this batch should work and extract the names that you want quickly.
CODE:
#echo off
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
set "inputFile=input.txt"
set "outputFile=result.txt"
for /f "delims=/ tokens=1" %%A in (%inputFile%) do (
set "tempFileName=%%A"
echo !tempFileName:~0,-4!>> %outputFile%
)
You only had to adjust the variables 'inputFile' and 'outputFile' to your needs.
I wrote this code so I can remove a column from a csv file.
#echo off
setlocal enableextensions enabledelayedexpansion

SET /A COUNT=0
for /F "tokens=*" %%A in (d.csv) do (

set row[7]=%%h
)
echo !row[0]!,!row[2]!,!row[3]!,!row[4]!,!row[5]!,!row[6]! >>tmp.txt
echo.
)
endlocal
Test file:
A1,B1,C1,D1,la la,,1
A2,B2,C2,D2, ,fef 3,
A3,B3,C3,D3,be be ,bo,bo 1

A2,C2,D2, ,fef 3,

I don't get why in the output file at the first line the ,, is eliminated and a , added at the end. Also I am wondering if there is a better way to do this.
Thanks!

I used a file named q29441490.txt containing your data for my testing.
Produces u:\newfile.txt
the separators between tokens are delimiter sequences, so ,, is seen as one separator, hence the fields appear moved by one place.
Grab each line, replace each , with , tokenise (you don't say explicitly, but you appear to want to eliminate the second column) so %%q gets the first column and %%r the remainder of the line following the second. Concatenate these, insert the comma and then reverse the substitution.
If you wanted to eliminate another column, then a different tokens element should be specified and the restructure of the line would need to be adjusted.
The below script provides the output of each occurence of the token# 1 field but I need add two more conditions.
a. Output should be provided.i.e. only when it is more than one since I have millions of records in a file
b. if there are mulitple strings.i.e. combination of Key fields in a row needs to checked across all the lines for duplicates in a file.

As I explained earlier, with millions of records, you are likely to run out of environment space. As posted above, I reckon you may still run out because the report of line numbers may be huge - no idea - you are familiar with your real data.
Essentially, the first thing to do is to establish a temporary file.
Starting with the tokens required in the input file - I followed 1 and 3 but no doubt there may be more - just follow the bouncing ball...
The selected fields are padded - on the right for text fields and on the left for the count field using the spaces variable.
Then the tempfile output is generated. I randomly chose a maximum length of 10 for the first field and 12 for the second. These two are combined to give the key field. The leading-filled count field is output as the second column so that after SORTing, the data will appear grouped by key, then line number. The remaining columns of interest are then reproduced.
The data is then sorted as input to the next for/f loop - only tokens 1 (the key), 3 (the raw line number) and "the rest" (the key without the padding) are of interest
Then it's simply a matter of counting matching keys and accumulating the line number in line and reporting when the key changes. One last output is required to report the very last data item, and we're done.
For this ugly batch job I recommend to use sed and uniq from the GNUWin Project:
#echo off&setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
set "inputfile=file"
set "outputfile=out"
set "tempfile=%temp%\%random%"
<"%inputfile%" sed "s/|.*|/|.*|/"|sort|uniq -d>"%tempfile%"
(for /f "usebackqtokens=1-3delims=|" %%i in ("%tempfile%") do (
set /a cnt=0&set "line="
for /f "delims=:" %%a in ('findstr /nr "%%i|%%j|%%k" "%inputfile%"') do set "line=!line!%%a & "&set /a cnt+=1
echo(%%i^|%%k;!cnt! times;line no !line:~0,-3!
))>"%outputfile%"
del "%tempfile%"
type "%outputfile%"
.. output is:
123|Jack;2 times;line no 1 & 3
125|Sam;3 times;line no 4 & 5 & 6
The Batch file below do what you want:
#echo off
setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
rem Assemble "tokensValues" and "lastToken" variables from the parameters
set letters=0abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
set tokensValues=%%!letters:~%1,1!
set lastToken=%1
:nextArg
shift
if "%1" equ "" goto endArgs
set "tokensValues=!tokensValues!#%%!letters:~%1,1!"
set lastToken=%1
goto nextArg
:endArgs
rem Accumulate duplicated strings
set line=0
for /F "tokens=1-%lastToken% delims=|" %%a in (fscif.txt) do (
set /A line+=1
if not defined lines[%tokensValues%] (
set lines[%tokensValues%]=!line!
) else (
set "lines[%tokensValues%]=!lines[%tokensValues%]! & !line!"
)
set /A times[%tokensValues%]+=1
)
rem Show the result
for /F "tokens=2* delims=[]=" %%a in ('set lines[ 2^>NUL') do (
if !times[%%a]! gtr 1 (
set string=%%a
set "string=!string:#=|!"
echo !string!;!times[%%a]! times;line no %%b
)
)
You must provide the number of the desired key fields in the parameters. For example, to consider 1 & 3 as key fields:
prog.bat 1 3
You may provide a maximum of 26 key fields with positions from 1 to 26; this limit may be easily increased up to 52.
This Batch file does not use any external command and works over the original file, so it should run fast. If the file is large, a sort or findstr command over it will take too long (even a simple copy, for that matter).
If we take your example data as representative of the real data, lines variable should store about 2500-3000 lines (that is, number of different lines where the same key fields appear), and with a total environment space of 64 MB I think this program will be capable of process your large files.
How could one select a random line of text from a text file and set it in a variable to use?
The Batch program below is Eitan's solution slightly modified to run faster:
#echo off
setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
set INPUT_FILE="test.txt"
:: # Count the number of lines in the text file and generate a random number
for /f "usebackq" %%a in (`find /V /C "" ^< %INPUT_FILE%`) do set lines=%%a
set /a randnum=%RANDOM% * lines / 32768 + 1, skiplines=randnum-1
:: # Extract the line from the file
set skip=
if %skiplines% gtr 0 set skip=skip=%skiplines%
for /f "usebackq %skip% delims=" %%a in (%INPUT_FILE%) do set "randline=%%a" & goto continue
:continue
echo Line #%randnum% is:
echo/!randline!
Like it is already mentioned here in StackOverflow, among others, %RANDOM% expands to a random number between 0 and 32767.
You can use this mechanism to generate a random line number. However, to make it a valid line number you will have to normalize it by the the number of lines in the input text file.
Here's a simple script that shows how to do it:
#echo off
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
set INPUT_FILE="test.txt"
:: # Count the number of lines in the text file and generate a random number
set lines=0
for /f "usebackq" %%a in (%INPUT_FILE%) do set /a lines+=1
echo %RANDOM% >nul
set /a randnum=%RANDOM% * !lines! / 32768 + 1
:: # Extract the line from the file
set lines=0
for /f "usebackq tokens=*" %%a in (%INPUT_FILE%) do (
set /a lines+=1
if !lines!==!randnum! set randline=%%a
)
echo Line #!randnum! is:
echo.!randline!
Here's yet another approach. It reads the file name from the command line and uses a FOR /L loop to get to the calculated line number:
#ECHO OFF
FOR /F "" %%I IN ('FIND /C /V "" ^<%1') DO SET /A lines=%%I
SET /A skip=%RANDOM%%%lines
<%1 (
FOR /L %%I IN (1,1,%skip%) DO (
SET /P line=
)
SET line=
SET /P line=
)
ECHO(%line%
The FOR /F loop simply gets the number of lines in the file (the method is borrowed from #Aacini's answer).
A rather simplistic formula then calculates the number of lines to skip in the file.
Next, the file is read. The FOR /L loop merely consumes the specified number of lines using a SET /P instruction. Following the loop, one more SET /P command reads the line that is eventually ECHOed.
The above implementation is just to show the basic idea. It is not without issues, but some of them could easily be resolved:
There's no testing whether the parameter is indeed supplied. If it is absent, the script will break. You could add the necessary check at the beginning of the script like this:
IF "%~1"=="" GOTO :EOF
If there's no parameter, this command terminates the script by sending the control to the end of the script (GOTO :EOF).
The file specified might not exist. Again, you could test that at the beginning, just after verifying that the parameter is supplied, to terminate the script if necessary:
IF NOT EXIST %1 GOTO :EOF
If the file is empty, the lines will be 0 and the subsequent expression using it will run into a division by zero error. Therefore, you'll also need to test the resulting line count (and prevent the script from running further if the count is indeed 0). You can do that by adding the following line just after the FOR /F loop:
IF %lines%==0 GOTO :EOF
Like I said, the formula is somewhat simplistic. It doesn't produce a number greater than 32767, which is the limitation of %RANDOM%. That might well be enough for you, but in case it is not, you could extend the range to 230-1 using two %RANDOM% calls like this:
SET /A skip=(%RANDOM%*32768+%RANDOM%)%%lines
So, here's the same script again, amended to address the above mentioned issues:
#ECHO OFF
IF "%~1"=="" GOTO :EOF
IF NOT EXIST %1 GOTO :EOF
FOR /F "" %%I IN ('FIND /C /V "" ^<%1') DO SET /A lines=%%I
IF %lines%==0 GOTO :EOF
SET /A skip=(%RANDOM%*32768+%RANDOM%)%%lines
<%1 (
FOR /L %%I IN (1,1,%skip%) DO (
SET /P line=
)
SET line=
SET /P line=
)
ECHO(%line%
One other note is that, if you like, you can add messages explaining the reason for the premature termination of the script. Basically, wherever you want to add the message, you'll just need to replace the single
GOTO :EOF
with
(ECHO your message & GOTO :EOF)
For instance:
IF NOT EXIST %1 (ECHO Error! File not found & GOTO :EOF)
I'm working with very large FIX message log files. Each message represents a set of tags separated by SOH characters.
Unlike MQ messages, individual FIX tags (and overall messages) do not feature fixed length or position. Log may include messages of different types (with a different number & sequence of tags).
Sample (of one of many types of messages):
07:00:32 -SEND:8=FIX.4.0(SOH)9=55(SOH)35=0(SOH)34=2(SOH)43=N(SOH)52=20120719-11:00:32(SOH)49=ABC(SOH)56=XYZ(SOH)10=075
So the only certain things are as follows: (1) tag number with equal sign uniquely identifies the tag, (2) tags are delimited by SOH characters.
For specific tags (just a few of them at a time, not all of them), I need to get a list of their distinct values - something like this:
49=ABC 49=DEF 49=GHI...
Format of the output doesn't really matter.
I would greatly appreciate any suggestions and recommendations.
Kind regards,
Victor O.
Option 1
The batch script below has decent performance. It has the following limitations
It ignores case when checking for duplicates.
It may not properly preserve all values that contain = in the value
EDIT - My original code did not support = in the value at all. I lessened that limitation by adding an extra SOH character in the variable name, and changed the delims used to parse the value. Now the values can contain = as long as unique values are differentiated before the =. If the values differentiate after the = then only one value will be preserved.
Be sure to fix the definition of the SOH variable near the top.
The name of the log file is passed as the 1st parameter, and the list of requested tags is passed as the 2nd parameter (enclosed in quotes).
#echo off
setlocal disableDelayedExpansion
:: Fix the definition of SOH before running this script
set "SOH=<SOH>"
set LF=^
:: The above 2 blank lines are necessary to define LF, do not remove.
:: Make sure there are no existing tag_ variables
for /f "delims==" %%A in ('2^>nul set tag_') do set "%%A="
:: Read each line and replace SOH with LF to allow iteration and parsing
:: of each tag/value pair. If the tag matches one of the target tags, then
:: define a tag variable where the tag and value are incorporated in the name.
:: The value assigned to the variable does not matter. Any given variable

)
)

:: values to the appropriate tag file.
del tag_*.txt 2>nul
for %%A in (%~2) do (
>"tag_%%A.txt" (
for /f "tokens=2 delims=%SOH%" %%B in ('set tag_%%A') do echo %%B
)
)
:: Print out the results to the screen
for %%F in (tag_*.txt) do (
echo(
echo %%F:
type "%%F"
)
Option 2
This script has almost no limitations, but it significantly slower. The only limitation I can see is it will not allow a value to start with = (the leading = will be discarded).
I create a temporary "search.txt" file to be used with the FINDSTR /G: option. I use a file instead of a command line search string because of FINDSTR limitations. Command line search strings cannot match many characters > decimal 128. Also the escape rules for literal backslashes are inconsistent on the command line. See What are the undocumented features and limitations of the Windows FINDSTR command? for more info.
The SOH definition must be fixed again, and the 1st and 2nd arguments are the same as with the 1st script.
#echo off
setlocal disableDelayedExpansion
:: Fix the definition of SOH before running this script
set "SOH="
set lf=^

Try this batch file. Add the log file name as parameter. e.g.:
LISTTAG.BAT SOH.LOG
It will show all tag id and its value that is unique. e.g.:
9=387
12=abc
34=asb73
9=123
12=xyz
Files named tagNNlist.txt (where NN is the tag id number) will be made for finding unique tag id and values, but are left intact as reports when the batch ends.
The {SOH} text shown in below code is actually the SOH character (ASCII 0x01), so after you copy & pasted the code, it should be changed to an SOH character. I have to substitute that character since it's stripped by the server. Use Wordpad to generate the SOH character by typing 0001 then press ALT+X. The copy & paste that character into notepad with the batch file code.
One thing to note is that the code will only process lines starting at column 16. The 07:00:32 -SEND: in your example line will be ignored. I'm assuming that they're all start with that fixed-length text.
Changes:
Changed generated tag list file into separate files by tag IDs. e.g.: tag12list.txt, tag52list.txt, etc.
Removed tag id numbers in generated tag list file. e.g.: 12=abc become abc.
