How can I delete all text in every single line in txt file after specific sign in line.
For example, if I have: eeeeeeeeee \: marko bbbbbbbbbbbbb \: juuure vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv \: sanader
I want to delete all text after "\:", and my new.txt has to looks like:

@echo off > newfile & setLocal EnableDelayedExpansion
for /f "tokens=1-2 delims= " %%a in (myfile) do ( echo %%a %%b >> newfile )
===================================== If at first you don't succeed, you're about average.

Is it possible to achieve this same effect, but delete the contents of the line prior to the "\:" symbol. So for example, after running the batch on the text file mentioned in the first post, we'd have:
marko jure sanader

Also of note - it seems the batch file above uses just "\" as the delim, as opposed to "\:". Is it possible to use the entire string \: as the delim?

this is easily done with vbscript too
Set objFS = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
strFile = "c:\test\file.txt"
Set objFile = objFS.OpenTextFile(strFile)
Do Until objFile.AtEndOfStream
strLine = objFile.ReadLine
s = Split(strLine,"\:")
WScript.Echo s(UBound(s))
Loop
objFile.Close
