I've question about this variables.How can I store result of a command into a variable? For example: saving drive serial into location variable.
thanks.
E.g:
#ECHO OFF
SET location=vol
ECHO We're working with %location%
for /f "delims=" %%x in ('your command and parameters') do set "var=%%x"
where the 'single quotes' are required around the command from which you wish to save output.
Edit - now we know which command.
Comment - one variable can contain up to ~8,000 characters.
Here's a routine that will set the values in $1...$whatever and the entire set in $all with each field enclosed in angle-brackets.
#ECHO OFF
SETLOCAL
SET "$all="
FOR /f "tokens=1*delims=:" %%a IN (
'systeminfo 2^>nul^|findstr /n /r "$"'
) DO (
SET "$%%a=%%b"
FOR /f "tokens=*" %%c IN ("%%b") DO CALL SET "$all=%%$all%%<%%c>"
SET /a max=%%a
)
SET $
pause
FOR /l %%z IN (1,1,%max%) DO CALL ECHO %%$%%z%%
GOTO :EOF
thank you...please see my batch file contents:
for /f "delims=" %%x in ('systeminfo') do set "var=%%x"
command_line.exe %var%
only last line of 'systeminfo' saved in var variable and it is:
"data execution perevention available: yes"
I want to store all contetnt of systeminfo into variable!
thank you.I'm too basic
do you mean result of systeminfo is into all variable? at the end of your code can I add this command:
start command_line.exe $%all%
is this true?
can you put complete code for my batch file?

best user,
I tried to assign variables from a txt file in batch. I have a text file called "Final.txt".
Final.txt:
0216027232411405
02160272b6172505
1115fb9c6f423305
1645fb9c6f423305
0000fb9c6f423305
script that I tested till now:
#echo off
setlocal ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION
set vidx=0
for /F "tokens=*" %%A in (Final.txt) do (
SET /A vidx=!vidx! + 1
set var!vidx!=%%A
)
set var
(
set /p var1=
set /p var2=
set /p var3=
)<Final.txt
#echo off
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
set Counter=1
for /f %%x in ("Final.txt") do (
set "Line_!Counter!=%%x"
set /a Counter+1
if Counter== 0 goto :EOF
)
set /a NumLines=Counter - 1
echo %Line_1%
pause
:EOF
Echo please connect a device
pause
exit
The problem is that the code works, but it only assign the first line of the text file. I want to assign every line in the text file to a variable.Now I only have 5 devices,but in the future iw till expand to more lines. I will do more research, but if you have a solution. Your answers are always welcome!. If I can figure it out I am going to use it in my other script so you are a life saver. I only want to use batch for this.
I'm new in Windows batch programming and I have found problems in the variable assignment. This is my code:
#echo off
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
set Video=1
set FILEMEDIA=outputMedia.txt
for /f %%a in (%FILEMEDIA%) do (
set /a Video=%Video%+1
#echo Video
set file=%%a
#echo file
)
If FILEMEDIA has two lines I would like to obtain Video=2 and the line in file variable. However, at the end I obtain Video=1 and an error when I tried to print file (echo is off).
Some kind of duplicate with How do I increment a DOS variable in a FOR /F loop?
Variables that should be delay expanded are referenced with !VARIABLE! instead of %VARIABLE%.
#echo off
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
set Video=1
set FILEMEDIA=outputMedia.txt
for /f %%a in (%FILEMEDIA%) do (
set /a Video+=1
#echo !Video!
set file=%%a
#echo file
)
endlocal
I am setting a number of variables using the for /f command.
setlocal ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION
set vidx=0
for /F "tokens=*" %%A in (target_list.txt) do (
SET /A vidx=!vidx! + 1
SET var!vidx!=%%A
)
set var
Now that I have set them I need to be able to be able recall them in a loop and apply them to the following commands.
copy gateway%num%.bat \\%var1%\C$\WINDOWS\system32
psexec \\%var1%\ gateway%num%.bat
del \\%var1%\\C$\WINDOWS\system32\gateway%num%.bat
The reason I need them in a loop is because the number of variables will change periodically and I need it to be able to figure out how many it made in the previous command and then apply them in the second command. I don't want to have to copy this command over and over and only change (var1) to (var2) to (var3) etc.
try this:
for /l %%i in (1,1,%vidx%) do copy copy gateway%num%.bat \\!var%%i!\C$\WINDOWS\system32
for /l %%i in (1,1,%vidx%) do psexec \\!var%%i!\ gateway%num%.bat
for /l %%i in (1,1,%vidx%) do del \\!var%%i!\\C$\WINDOWS\system32\gateway%num%.bat
I need to get a part of some lines(Myfile) out of the 'for' loop either into two separate variables or into an array.My goal is to use each other for constituting path of the following lines result*.txt. I write what you are seing below but it's visible that my 'a' variable is only echoing 'C:\Temp\FR'(the end of line matching token in Myfile).
Please, Is there any way to get all matching tokens in a variable/array? For example, in my case, I need to get 'C:\Temp\USA' and 'C:\Temp\FR' out of the loop for? Thanks
for /f "tokens=2 delims==" %%x in (Myfile) do (
set a=%%x
)
echo %a%
'MyFile
DIR1= C:\Temp\USA
DIR2= C:\Temp\FR
result1.txt
result2.txt
Try this:
#echo off&setlocal
for /f "tokens=1* delims== " %%x in (Myfile) do (
if /i "%%x"=="dir1" set "path1=%%y"
if /i "%%x"=="dir2" set "path2=%%y"
)
echo %path1%
echo %path2%
Output is:
C:\Temp\USA
C:\Temp\FR
There are several ways to do that. If you want read a few lines from the beginnng of the file, the easiest way is to directly read them in a couple variables:
< Myfile (
set /P var1=
set /P var2=
)
Note that these variables contain the complete lines, so it is necessary to extract the part after the equal sign.
In your example you just want the lines with equal sign, so we may use findstr "=" Myfile in a FOR command to just process they. If the number of lines is undefined, you must save all desired lines in an array as you suggested:
setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
set n=0
for /F "tokens=2 delims==" %%a in ('findstr "=" Myfile') do (
set /A n+=1
set var[!n!]=%%a
)
rem Show all array elements
for /L %%i in (1,1,%n%) do (
echo !var[%%i]!
)
rem Show just the second element
echo %var[2]%
However, in your particular case the lines you want have the form of variable assignments. This means that if you execute such lines with a SET command, the values in the lines will be "automatically" saved:
for /F "delims=" %%a in ('findstr "=" Myfile') do set %%a
After previous FOR , you may directly get the values of DIR1 or DIR2 variables, for example:
echo %DIR1%
echo %DIR2%
This method is very simple and don't require any testing on the individual variables being loaded.
If you want to remove the space after the equal sign in the value, you may adjust FOR options to do so:
for /F "tokens=1* delims== " %%a in ('findstr "=" Myfile) do set %%a=%%b
I'm trying to get the output of the WMIC command to assign variables to each line.
I'm trying to get the out put to look like this:
1 first program installed
2 second program installed
3 third program installed
4 fourth program installed
5 ...etc
#Echo off
wmic /output:file.txt product get name /format:csv
rem wmic product get name
#Echo Off
SetLocal EnableDelayedExpansion
Set n=
Set _InputFile=c:\users\jorge\desktop\file.txt
For /F "tokens=*" %%I IN (%_InputFile%) DO (
Set /a n+=1
Set _var!n!=%%I
)
:: This line will display the variables just assigned
:: For testing only, delete when not needed
Set _
EndLocal
pause
This won't work because wmic will give you Unicode file that for /f can not read (see here). Workaround is to use ('type file') instead:
#Echo off
:: not really need a csv here...
wmic /output:file.txt product get name /format:table
Set n=0
:: Suggest to use internal call :label rather than delayed expansion
For /F "tokens=* skip=1 delims=" %%I IN ('type file.txt') DO #call :Assign %%I
Set _
pause
goto :EOF
:Assign
Set /a n+=1
Set _var%n% = %*
goto :EOF
