How do I create a batch file that reads a file and writes a substring to another file?
I currently have an exported text file ( output.txt
) from the Clear-Case command that I need to parse. It looks like this:
Comparing the following:
R1.PROD.V1@\VOB_pvob
R2.PROD.V1@\VOB_pvob
Differences:
>> M:\ACME_PROD\src\ACME@@
>> M:\ACME_PROD\src\ACME\file 2.txt@@
>> M:\ACME_PROD\src\ACME\file 1.txt@@
>> M:\ACME_PROD\src\ACME\file 3.txt@@
What I would like to do is use the findstr command to filter the lines between the lines " >>
" and " @@
" to get an output file that looks like this (with quotes if possible:
"M:\ACME_PROD\src\ACME"
"M:\ACME_PROD\src\ACME\file 2.txt"
"M:\ACME_PROD\src\ACME\file 1.txt"
"M:\ACME_PROD\src\ACME\file 3.txt"
I'm new to writing batch files, so I'm not sure exactly where to start. I was able to find code that can go through the lines of a text file and separate findstr command code, but I'm stuck trying to put it all together!

Here you go
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
for /f "skip=1 tokens=* delims=> " %%a in ('"findstr /r [\w^>*] output.txt"') do (
set line=%%a
set line=!line:@=!
echo "!line!" >>new.txt
)
Filtered rows will be output to new.txt
.
