I am trying to parse the output of another function that is output line by line. to understand the function, it returns several lines of the parameter and numbers of the type " top=123456789" or " low=123456789" (without quotes) -
I'm trying to parse strings now
for /F "delims=" %%a in ('%%I ^| findstr top') do set updir=%%1
set "updir=%1:~4%"
echo. %updir%
I am trying to get pure numbers by trimming well-known keywords like top, which must then be set to var to return ( %~1% ???) to the calling function back (another batch file).
Can someone help me with this please? shure it would be better to crop directly with "=".
UPDATE:
this is the code that returns the lines from the associated script i. I tried several ways to parse the result, but I seem blind or too stupid to see, everything is strange.
for /f "delims=" %%I in ('cscript /nologo /e:jscript "%~f0" "%URL%"') do (
rem process the HTML line-by-line
org echo(%%I
try1 (echo %%I|findstr top
try2 for /F "delims=" %%a in ('%%I ^| findstr top') do set updir=%%a
try2 echo. %updir%
try3 for /F "delims=" %%a in ('%%I') do findstr top
try3 echo. %2%
)
doesn't work either
for /F "tokens=1,2delims==" %%a in ('%%I') do if %1 == top set updir=%%b
echo %updir%
delim ( /delims ), .
:
, , :
rem trim whitespace from beginning and end of line
for /f "tokens=*" %%x in ("%%~I") do set "line=%%x"
rem test that trimmed line matches "variable=number"
to find a single item like e.g. "top" you have to add "to" or adjust whole first token
! line! | findstr/i "^ to [a-z] = [0-9]" > NUL && (
rem test was successful. Scrape number.
for /f "tokens=2 delims==" %%x in ("%%I") do set "value=%%x"
echo !value!
)
