this is my myfile.txt I want to add space in second column as see the sample
ARK,LAR SNE,QNE,898,ILO,SNE,SNE,LAR,LAR,545
AUS,MNY P08,TTL,7776,STO,STL,STL,MNY,MNY,567
BOS,MTZ TNK,SDK,444,PPO,TNK,TNK,MTZ,MTZ,456
this is the code I am using
for /f "tokens=* " %%i in (myfile.txt) do call :echo2 %%i %%J %%K %%L %%M %%N %%O %%P %%Q %%R %%S
goto :EOF
:echo2
echo insert ('%1','%2','%3','%4','%5','%6','%7','%8','%9','%10'); >>myfile1.txt
goto :EOF
its displaying results , where it should have taken space what I am missing any help is appreciated
#ECHO OFF
SETLOCAL ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION
(
FOR /f "delims=" %%i IN (myfile.txt) DO (
SET "dataline=%%i"
SET "outline="
CALL :adddata
)
)>myfile1.txt
GOTO :EOF
:adddata
FOR /f "tokens=1*delims=," %%p IN ("%dataline%"
) DO SET outline=%outline%'%%p',&SET "dataline=%%q"
IF DEFINED dataline GOTO adddata
ECHO insert (%outline:~0,-1%);
GOTO :eof
This should do the job with no practical limit on columns - provided of course that the comma is reliably an end-of-column delimiter.
For each line in the source file, assign the entire line to
dataline and clear outline
then take the first token, delimited by comma, from dataline, quote it,add a comma and append it to outline; then set dataline to the remainder of the line after the first comma.
repeat until there is nothing left in dataline
output the text insert ( + all but the last character of outline (which will be a comma) + );
If I understand you correctly, you want to preserve the spaces in the text between the 1st and 2nd comma, correct? Try this:
#echo off
for /f "tokens=1-10 delims=," %%a in (myfile.txt) do (
>>myfile1.txt echo.insert ('%%a','%%b','%%c','%%d','%%e','%%f','%%g','%%h','%%i','%%j'^);
)
Try this:
#echo off & setlocal
(for /f "delims=" %%i in (myfile.txt) do (
set "line='%%i'"
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
set "line=!line:,=','!"
set "line=!line: = ','!"
echo(insert (!line!^);
endlocal
))>myfile1.txt
You can't exceed 9 variables so your script won't work after the 9th. You can use for /f to copy each line exactly as the original file like so:
for /f "tokens=* " %%i in (myfile.txt) do echo %%i >>myfile1.txt
goto :EOF

How can I achieve my desired results? help me,thks
It is not so straightforward. You'll need to skip increasing amount of lines in the inner loop , but because of the FOR parsing you'll need additional subroutine call.And if there are empty lined they need to be stripped with findstr for more accurate skipping of the lines. Also skip argument in FOR does not accept 0 so also an if is needed.
#echo off
setlocal ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION
set /a s=0
for /f "tokens=* delims=" %%a in (1.txt) do (
call :inner !s!
echo ren %%a !second!
set /a s=s+1
)
endlocal
pause
exit /b
:inner
set "second="
if %1==0 (
for /f "tokens=* delims=" %%b in ('findstr /r "[a-zA-Z]" "2.txt"') do (
if not defined second set "second=%%b"
)
) else (
for /f "skip=%1 tokens=* delims=" %%b in ('findstr /r "[a-zA-Z]" "2.txt"' ) do (
if not defined second set "second=%%b"
)
)
The problem with anidated loops is that for each line of the outer file/loop all the lines of the inner file/loop are processed.
One simple solution is to number the lines of both files and only generate the output line when both numbers match. Quick and dirty:
#echo off
setlocal enableextensions disabledelayedexpansion
>"12.bat" (
for /f "tokens=1,* delims=:" %%a in ('findstr /n "^" 1.txt') do (
for /f "tokens=1,* delims=:" %%c in ('findstr /n "^" 2.txt') do (
if %%a==%%c (
echo ren %%b %%d
)
))
)
This code just uses findstr to generate line numbers (/n) for each of the input files, and using the delims and tokens clauses of the for /f command to separate them from the original line contents (note: if the lines could start with a colon, more code is needed). If the line number in first file matches the line number in second file the command is echoed (there is a active output redirection to the final file)
Another option is to assign each file to a input stream and to read them using set /p operations from each of the streams
#echo off
setlocal enableextensions disabledelayedexpansion
call :processFiles 9<"1.txt" 8<"2.txt" >"12.bat"
goto :eof
:processFiles
<&9 set /p f1= || goto :eof
<&8 set /p f2= || goto :eof
echo ren %f1% %f2%
goto :processFiles
In the call to the subroutine we assign each file to a stream. Inside the subroutine each stream is read with set /p (note: set /p can not read lines longer than 1021 characters)
Hi I have a pipe | delimited file.
I need to reverse all the numbers in there
The file looks like this
Entity|Division|Channel|200|300|800
I need to read the file an create a new one with reversed numbers
Entity|Division|Channel|-200|-300|-800
trying to make this work but, not entirely sure how to amend the text I'm getting. I need help on the :processToken procedure. How to output the tokens into a new file and add "-" and add back the delimiter |
for /f "tokens=* delims= " %%f in (M:\GPAR\Dev\EQ\Upload_Files\eq_test.txt) do (
set line=%%f
call :processToken
)

for /f "tokens=* delims=|" %%a in ("%line%") do (
)
if not "%line%" == "" goto :processToken
goto :eof

Should work if your file contains only lines like the one you've posted.

I want to read a text file and store each line in an array. When I used the code below, "echo %i%" is printing 0 every time and only array[0] value is getting assigned. But in "set n=%i%",n value is assigned as the last incremented I value.Also "#echo !array[%%i]!" is printing like !array[0]! instead of printing the value. Is there any syntax error in the code?
set /A i=0
for /F %%a in (C:\Users\Admin\Documents\url.txt) do (
set /A i+=1
echo %i%
set array[%i%]=%%a
)
set n=%i%
for /L %%i in (0,1,%n%) do #echo !array[%%i]!
Here's a method that is useful at times and very similar to your code:
#echo off
set "file=C:\Users\Admin\Documents\url.txt"
set /A i=0
for /F "usebackq delims=" %%a in ("%file%") do (
set /A i+=1
call echo %%i%%
call set array[%%i%%]=%%a
call set n=%%i%%
)
for /L %%i in (1,1,%n%) do call echo %%array[%%i]%%
#echo off &setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
for /F "delims=" %%a in (C:\Users\Admin\Documents\url.txt) do (
set /A count+=1
set "array[!count!]=%%a"
)
for /L %%i in (1,1,%count%) do echo !array[%%i]!
Inside a code block you need delayed expansion and !variables!.
Read set /? description about environment run-time linking. When you are using %i% inside for - it is pre-expanded before for execution. You need to use !i! instead.
#ECHO OFF
SETLOCAL
FOR /f "tokens=1*delims=:" %%i IN ('findstr /n /r "$" url.txt') DO SET max=%%i&SET array[%%i]=%%j
FOR /l %%i IN (1,1,%max%) DO CALL ECHO(%%array[%%i]%%
GOTO :EOF
provided no line begins ":"
I'm trying to translate a .bat file into a .sh script. Several parameters are passed to the script, one of these being a hash table. The code looks like...
date /T
time /T
FOR /F "tokens=1-11" %%A IN (%4) DO (
set args1=%%A %%B %%C %%D %%E %%F %%G %%H %%I %%J %%K
)
FOR /F "tokens=12" %%A IN ("%4") DO (
set args2=%%A
)
FOR /F "tokens=12*" %%A IN (%4) DO (
set dummy=%%A
set args3=%%B
)
I'm not sure what is going on here, or how to handle it?
Any suggestions? Or good reference pages online I can take at look at?
Here is a good reference page: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb490909.aspx
Breakdown
The first loop is treating the input as a filenameset.
This is storing the first 11 whitespace delimited items in the variable args1.
The second loop is treating the input as a literal string.
This is storing just the 12 whitespace delimited item in the variable args2.
The last loop is treating the input as a filenameset.
This is storing all the remaining whitespace delimited items after the 12th item in the variable args3.
Example
I would recommend adding the echo command after each loop so you can see what the parsed values look like.
FOR /F "tokens=1-11" %%A IN (%4) DO (
set args1=%%A %%B %%C %%D %%E %%F %%G %%H %%I %%J %%K
)
echo %args1%
FOR /F "tokens=12" %%A IN ("%4") DO (
set args2=%%A
)
echo %args2%
FOR /F "tokens=12,*" %%A IN (%4) DO (
set args3=%%B
)
echo %args3%
I've got bunch of text files with some content. First I wanted to number the lines globally. Then I extracted all lines that are duplicated somewhere (occur in any of given files at least twice). But now I need to mark all of these lines with the filename and line number of the first occurrence of this line. And now the funny part - it needs to be a windows batch file, using native windows tools. That's why I've got this problem to begin with.
So, to sum it up:
I have a file A with unique strings/lines, each of them is said to occur at least twice in given set of files.
I need to search these files and mark all occurrences of given line from A file with
-file name in which the line first occured
-line number in this file
This is my code with effort to number lines and format files.

The above Batch program ignore empty lines in the input files and fail if they contain special Batch characters, like ! & < > |; this limitation may be fixed if required.

Here's the meat of a routine that should do what you appear to be looking for - and that's as clear as mud.
It looks through the "A" file for each string in turn, assigns the string to %%s and sets the flag searching
Then it looks through the file list, assigning filenames to %%f
Then it executes a findstr to find the /c:"%%s" complete string %%s (including any spaces) in /l or literal mode (ie. not using regular expressions) for a line that both /b and /e begins and ends with the target (ie exactly matches) and /n numbers those lines.
The output of findstr will be in the format linenumber:linecontents so if this line is examined by the FORwith the option "delims=:" then the partion up to the first : is assigned to to %%L
So - %%L contains the line#, %%f the filename, %%s the string
Clearing searching having detected this line by setting its value to [nothing] means it's not NOT DEFINED hence no further lines will be reported from the current file, and no further filenames will be examined.
Now if you want to get a listing of ALL of the occurrences of the target lines, all you need to do is to REM-out the SET "searching=" line. Searching will then never be reset, so each line in each file is reported.
If you want some other combination, please clarify.
I have absolutely no idea whatever what you mean by "marking" a line.
