add a "pre_value" to set /p userinp= - windows

I have following code, asking for user to fill in filename:
echo Type in your filename (path + filename):
set userinp=
set /p userinp= ^>
What I would like:
already 'prefill' fullpath+filename, which the user can then edit.
In most cases, this would be: %cd%+filename (most common file selected)
Type in your filename (path + filename):
> D:\Download\MyFile.txt
(the string 'D:\Download\MyFile.txt' should be editable)
NB: must be achieved strictly with Windows batch commands; no use of the other languages and/or programs.

This method is simple and have the advantage that you may use the standard command-line navigation keys, that is, besides the edition you may enter the first letters of a folder/file and browse through the existent folders/files with TAB key. You may even put "{TAB}" in the prefill value to automatically prefill with the first file in current directory, or "Dat{TAB}" for the first file that start with "Dat", etc.
#if (#CodeSection == #Batch) #then
#echo off
echo Type in your filename (path + filename):
cscript //nologo //E:JScript "%~F0" "%cd%\commonFile.ext"
set "userinp="
set /P "userinp=>"
echo Value read: "%userinp%"
goto :EOF
#end
WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell").SendKeys(WScript.Arguments(0));
Note that the cscript command, used here to execute a line of JScript code, is a standard "DOS" command provided with all Windows versions since XP on.
EDIT: Include the path of first file
You may put "%cd%\{TAB}" in the prefill value in order to get the first file in current folder including the path; however, this method fail if the path contain any space. The new code below fix this point, although it still may fail if at any point in the path exist two folders with same name until the first space and the wanted folder is not the first one.

I want to get output like below and put it into a variable.
ae5e9598-e989-5c57-b996-879085b2c515
Note that there is already id="0" in the first line and I want to extract value of id partially for the last line.
Is there an easy way to do this in batch?
If you must use batch, here's one example to get started. This extracts all values id from file ooo.txt that contains your string.
#echo off
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
set x=0
for /f "eol=> tokens=* usebackq delims= " %%i in (`type ooo.txt`) do (
set x=0
set XXX=XXX
for %%I in (%%i) do (
if "%%I"=="id" (
set x=1
) else (
if !x! EQU 1 (
set x=0
set XXX=%%I
)
)
)
set XXX=!XXX:"=!
if not "!XXX!"=="XXX" (
set XXX=!XXX:"=!
rem echo !XXX!
call :enumerate !XXX! YYY
echo !YYY!
)
)
goto :eof
:enumerate
set pos=0
set Y=%1
set result=
set part=
:countchar
if not "!Y:~%pos%,1!"=="" (
set /a pos=pos+1
if "!Y:~%pos%,1!"=="-" (
set result=!result!!part!
set part=
)
set part=!part!!Y:~%pos%,1!
goto :countchar
)
set %~2=!result!
exit/b
:eof
endlocal
This outputs
ae5e9598-e989-5c57-b996-879085b2c515
and, within the loop, stores each id in variable YYY (although the first one is empty).
This assumes you want to keep everything up to but not including the last hyphen -.
Here's a 'for fun' example, which, as you've provided no code yourself, will not be modified post answer, and no support, or explanation, will be undertaken either.
#For /F Delims^= %%G In ('%__AppDir__%findstr.exe /i "id=\"[a-e0123456789]*-[a-e0123456789]*-[a-e0123456789]*-[a-e0123456789]*-[a-e0123456789]*-" "xmlfile.mpd"'
) Do #Set "}=%%G" & SetLocal EnableDelayedExpansion & For /F UseBackTokens^=2-6Delims^=-^" %%H In ('!}:* id^=^"^=!') Do #Endlocal & Set "id=%%H-%%I-%%J-%%K-%%L"

You will probably want to change the source filename from xmlfile.mpd, and can optionally remove the last line, which was included just to allow you to see if it worked!

How to remove names from a list in batch

I'm using windows bath, I have a list of names that I can add to but I don't know how to remove a name from the list.
So far my code is:
#echo off
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
set allchoices=123456789
set "names=Bob,Steven,Harry"
set amount=6 ::max limit of list
set list=0
:start
::echoes a list of all names in the list
for /l %%i in (1; 1; %amount%) do (
call :sub %%i
)
goto check
:sub
for /f "tokens=%1 delims=," %%a in ("%names%") do (
echo %%i. %%a
set /a list=list+1
)
goto :eof
:check
::Remove a name from the list
choice /c !allchoices:~0,%list%! /m "What name do you want to remove?"
if errorlevel 3 (
for /f "tokens=3 delims=," %%a in ("%names%") do (
echo you have choosen to remove %%a
::remove third name in the list
goto start
)
)
if errorlevel 2 ::remove second name in the list
if errorlevel 1 ::remove first name in the list
I've tried using del but that turns out to delete a file in your folder.
I've tried renaming a specific name using set name[%%a]="" but that did nothing.
Any ideas?
Have a look at this example. There are many ways.
#echo off
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
set names="Bob","Steven","Harry"
for %%i in (%names%) do (
set /a num+=1
set "!num!=%%~i"
)
for /l %%a in (1,1,%num%) do (
set choices=!choices!%%a
echo !num!.!%%a!
)
choice /c 123 /m "please select name to remove"
for /l %%a in (1,1,%num%) do if not "!%%a!"=="!%errorlevel%!" set new_names=!new_names! !%%~a!
echo %new_names:~1%
It can be done without the last for loop as well.. but I opted for it.
Here is some example code, for you to run, and then try to comprehend, I hope it helps rather than confuses:
#Echo Off
SetLocal EnableDelayedExpansion
For /F "Delims==" %%A In ('Set # 2^>NUL') Do Set "%%A="
Set "i=0"
For /F "Delims=:" %%A In ('FindStr "^::" "%~f0" 2^>NUL') Do (

Output filename and count of a directory in a text file - windows

I have a batch to output filename and count of filenames with the same prefix and date in a text file.
E.g.
Q1231111.zip
Q1241111.zip
where:
Q123 - is a prefix
1111 - is a date.
I want an output such as:
123 : 1
124 : 1
125 : 0
But the batch file unable to output the last one. I wanna see the file is present so i need the 0 output.
Here's my code:
#echo off
setlocal EnableExtensions
for %%I in ("Z:\StoreDataJDA\Q1231111.zip") do call :CountFile "%%~nI"
for %%I in ("Z:\StoreDataJDA\Q1241111.zip") do call :CountFile "%%~nI"
for %%I in ("Z:\StoreDataJDA\Q1251111.zip") do call :CountFile "%%~nI"
for /F "tokens=2,3 delims=#=" %%I in ('set Group# 2^>nul') do echo %%I: %%J >>count.txt
endlocal
goto :EOF
:CountFile
set "FileName=%~1"
set "FileGroup=%FileName:~1,4%"
if "Group#%FileGroup%" == "" (
set "Group#%FileGroup%=1"
) else (
set /A Group#%FileGroup%+=1
)
goto :EOF
pause
Thanks in advance!
From your description, it's hard to tell exactly what you are looking for. But by looking at your very similar question from a year ago, and from Gerhard's comment, I think what you're looking for is:
Count the number of files with a given prefix, each file having a different date suffix.
I think this should do it:
#echo off
setlocal EnableExtensions
set "Group#123=0" & for %%I in ("Z:\StoreDataJDA\Q123????.zip") do call :CountFile "%%~nI"
set "Group#124=0" & for %%I in ("Z:\StoreDataJDA\Q124????.zip") do call :CountFile "%%~nI"
set "Group#125=0" & for %%I in ("Z:\StoreDataJDA\Q125????.zip") do call :CountFile "%%~nI"
(for /F "tokens=2,3 delims=#=" %%I in ('set Group# 2^>nul') do echo %%I: %%J)>count.txt
endlocal
goto :EOF
:CountFile
set "FileName=%~1"
set "FileGroup=%FileName:~1,3%"
set /A Group#%FileGroup%+=1
goto :EOF

Batch split a text file

I have this batch file to split a txt file:
#echo off
for /f "tokens=1*delims=:" %%a in ('findstr /n "^" "PASSWORD.txt"') do for /f "delims=~" %%c in ("%%~b") do >"text%%a.txt" echo(%%c
pause
It works but it splits it line by line. How do i make it split it every 5000 lines. Thanks in advance.
Edit:
I have just tried this:
#echo off
setlocal ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION
REM Edit this value to change the name of the file that needs splitting. Include the extension.
SET BFN=passwordAll.txt
REM Edit this value to change the number of lines per file.
SET LPF=50000
REM Edit this value to change the name of each short file. It will be followed by a number indicating where it is in the list.
SET SFN=SplitFile
REM Do not change beyond this line.
SET SFX=%BFN:~-3%
SET /A LineNum=0
SET /A FileNum=1
For /F "delims==" %%l in (%BFN%) Do (
SET /A LineNum+=1
echo %%l >> %SFN%!FileNum!.%SFX%
if !LineNum! EQU !LPF! (
SET /A LineNum=0
SET /A FileNum+=1
)
)
endlocal
Pause
exit
But i get an error saying: Not enough storage is available to process this command
This will give you the a basic skeleton. Adapt as needed
#echo off
setlocal enableextensions disabledelayedexpansion
set "nLines=5000"
set "line=0"
for /f "usebackq delims=" %%a in ("passwords.txt") do (

)
endlocal
EDITED
As the comments indicated, a 4.3GB file is hard to manage. for /f needs to load the full file into memory, and the buffer needed is twice this size as the file is converted to unicode in memory.
This is a fully ad hoc solution. I've not tested it over a file that high, but at least in theory it should work (unless 5000 lines needs a lot of memory, it depends of the line length)
AND, with such a file it will be SLOW
#echo off
setlocal enableextensions disabledelayedexpansion
set "line=0"
set "tempFile=%temp%\passwords.tmp"
findstr /n "^" passwords.txt > "%tempFile%"
for /f %%a in ('type passwords.txt ^| find /c /v "" ') do set /a "nFiles=%%a/5000"
for /l %%a in (0 1 %nFiles%) do (
set /a "e1=%%a*5", "e2=e1+1", "e3=e2+1", "e4=e3+1", "e5=e4+1"
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
if %%a equ 0 (
set "e=/c:"[1-9]:" /c:"[1-9][0-9]:" /c:"[1-9][0-9][0-9]:" /c:"!e2![0-9][0-9][0-9]:" /c:"!e3![0-9][0-9][0-9]:" /c:"!e4![0-9][0-9][0-9]:" /c:"!e5![0-9][0-9][0-9]:" "
) else (
set "e=/c:"!e1![0-9][0-9][0-9]:" /c:"!e2![0-9][0-9][0-9]:" /c:"!e3![0-9][0-9][0-9]:" /c:"!e4![0-9][0-9][0-9]:" /c:"!e5![0-9][0-9][0-9]:" "
)
for /f "delims=" %%e in ("!e!") do (
endlocal & (for /f "tokens=1,* delims=:" %%b in ('findstr /r /b %%e "%tempFile%"') do #echo(%%c)>passwords_%%a.txt
)
)
del "%tempFile%" >nul 2>nul
endlocal
EDITED, again: Previous code will not correctly work for lines starting with a colon, as it has been used as a delimiter in the for command to separate line numbers from data.
For an alternative, still pure batch but still SLOW
#echo off
setlocal enableextensions disabledelayedexpansion
set "nLines=5000"
set "line=0"
for /f %%a in ('type passwords.txt^|find /c /v ""') do set "fileLines=%%a"
< "passwords.txt" (for /l %%a in (1 1 %fileLines%) do (
set /p "data="
set /a "file=line/%nLines%", "line+=1"
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
>>"passwords_!file!.txt" echo(!data!
endlocal
))
endlocal
Test this: the input file is "file.txt" and output files are "splitfile-5000.txt" for example.
This uses a helper batch file called findrepl.bat - download from: https://www.dropbox.com/s/rfdldmcb6vwi9xc/findrepl.bat
Place findrepl.bat in the same folder as the batch file or on the path.
#echo off
:: splits file.txt into 5000 line chunks.
set chunks=5000
set /a s=1-chunks
:loop
set /a s=s+chunks
set /a e=s+chunks-1

call findrepl /o:%s%:%e% <"file.txt" >"splitfile-%e%.txt"
for %%b in ("splitfile-%e%.txt") do (if %%~zb EQU 0 del "splitfile-%e%.txt" & goto :done)
goto :loop
:done
pause
A limitation is the number of lines in the file and the real largest number is 2^31 - 1 where batch math tops out.
#echo off
setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
findstr /N "^" PASSWORD.txt > temp.txt
set part=0
call :splitFile < temp.txt
del temp.txt
goto :EOF
:splitFile
set /A part+=1
(for /L %%i in (1,1,5000) do (
set "line="
set /P line=
if defined line echo(!line:*:=!
)) > text%part%.txt
if defined line goto splitFile
exit /B
If the input file has not empty lines, previous method may be modified in order to run faster.

How to create a unique output filename for Windows Script?

I am trying to create a windows script that should generate this kind of filename everytime I run it: filename1, filename2, filename3 and so on. Here is what I have so far:
(
#echo off
wmic logicaldisk get size,freespace,caption
) > disk.txt
I hope you can help me. Thanks!!
:: make a tempfile
:maketemp
SET "tempfile=%temp%\%random%"
IF EXIST "%tempfile%*" (GOTO maketemp) ELSE (ECHO.>"%tempfile%a")
You now have any number of filenames available.
%tempfile%a exists and is empty, but %tempfile%anythingelse should be available for use.
#ECHO OFF
SETLOCAL
SET "basename=filename"
SET /a outname=0
:genloop
SET /a outname+=1
IF EXIST "%basename% %outname%.txt" GOTO genloop
SET "outname=%basename% %outname%.txt"
ECHO %outname%
GOTO :EOF
Ah - increment the destination filename on each run. This should do that. It's not actually creating a file - you'd need to create the file %outname% each time to have it increment...
(the space between %basename% and %outname% is optional, of course - omit it if desired.)
edited to include .txt
This will give you up to 1000 filenames but you can go higher, up to 2 Billion, but the higher you go the longer the delay will be before it picks a filename.
#echo off
for /L %%a in (1,1,1000) do if not defined filename if not exist "filename%%a.txt" set "filename=filename%%a.txt"
(
wmic logicaldisk get size,freespace,caption
) > "%filename%"
#echo off
setlocal enableextensions
call :getNextFilename "filename*.txt" nextFilename
echo %nextFilename%
echo test > "%nextFilename%"
call :getNextFilename "%cd%\filename*.txt" nextFilename
echo %nextFilename%
echo test > "%nextFilename%"
endlocal
exit /b

) do for /f "tokens=1,* delims=*" %%b in ("%%~nxa"
) do ( set "left=%%b" & set "right=%%c" )
set "max=0"
for %%a in ("%~1"
) do for /f "tokens=1 delims=%left%%right% " %%b in ("%%~nxa"
) do for /f "tokens=* delims=0 " %%c in ("0%%~b"
) do if %%~c geq !max! set /a "max=%%c+1"
endlocal & set "%~2=%~dp1%left%%max%%right%" & exit /b
This should find the next file in sequence independently of the existence of holes in the numeration of the files. A path can be included or omitted. The * will be used as the placeholder for the numeration. BUT this will not work if files or included paths have "problematic" characters.
If the date/time of creation of the file can be considered, then this version can be optimized as
:getNextFilename whatToSearch returnVariable
setlocal enableextensions disabledelayedexpansion
for /f %%a in ("$\%~1"
) do for /f "tokens=1,* delims=*?" %%b in ("%%~nxa"
) do ( set "left=%%b" & set "right=%%c" )
set "max=0"
for /f "delims=" %%a in ('dir /tc /o-d /b "%~1" 2^>nul'
) do for /f "tokens=1 delims=%left%%right% " %%b in ("%%~nxa"
) do for /f "tokens=* delims=0 " %%c in ("0%%~b"
) do set /a "max=%%c+1" & goto done
:done
endlocal & set "%~2=%~dp1%left%%max%%right%" & exit /b
that will take the latest created instance of the file set.

GOTO :EOF
