Is there a dos command to filter text in files??.. example txt Agente,Nombre 47,David Mendoza this information is in the txt file, what i would like to do is filter the text and end up only with the number, in this case the ending result would be "47", this i would be able to run it as a variable to run an extra process, thanks in advance note: also, i found and external program that does this, but since i only have the source code, and haven't been able to compile it and u believe u can do it, i'll send u the file on request it's on C++, Here i go again...

Hi David If its always in the same format and the number is first and on the last line. @echo off for /f "tokens=1 delims=," %%a in (Example.txt) do set Num=%%a echo %Num%

Excellent it worked out just great :) Here i go again...

what if Microsoft Windows 98 (Version 4.10.2222) i wanted the "98" to be directed to filename1.bat and also Microsoft Windows XP (Version 5.1.2600) i wanted the "XP" to be directed to filename2.bat please help me

Not quite clear here. You want 98 [or XP] to go into an existing bat? Or what? If at first you don't succeed, you're about average. M2
