I need some help making a batch file than can parse a text file containing data on each line. At the same time, it needs to discard any "non-English" characters present. I'd like each line parsed to be assigned to a variable, and the blank lines to be assigned to a variable as well. Here's an example of a file to be parsed: InPr }  Orange/Banana Straweberry "Grapefruit" Cantaloupe CTN-12:21 A Very Fruity Company Inc. Gardener: Stephanie Fruity Assistant: Josephine Peach Waterer: Joe Onion Contractor: Michael Potato Curator: Phillip Seed TY-F98-66-00147 © 2007 A Very Fruity Company Inc. So I would need to filter out the "InPr }  " in the first line, and the assign "Orange/Banana" to %fruit1% for example, then assign "Strawberry" to %fruit2%, etc. Every blank line would be assigned to %blankline1%, %blankline2%, etc. Thank you very much in advance!

Anyone?
