I am trying to delete blank lines from a text file when executing my batch file. I used the code found on this site @Echo off For /F "tokens=1 delims=" %%A in (c:\orig.txt) Do Echo %%A >> c:\new.txt But when I open the file it still contains blank lines (spaces) and has the text "Echo if off." Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

@Echo Off For /F "tokens=* delims=" %%A in (C:\orig.txt) Do Call :NOBLANK %%A GoTo :EOF :NOBLANK If "%*"=="" GoTo :EOF Echo %* >> C:\new.txt GoTo :EOF Note that the For /F statement fits just ONE line ending with :NOBLANK %%A

Hi IVO, This gets out the blank lines and preserves the indents: @Echo Off For /F "tokens=* delims=" %%A in (e.bak) Do ( Echo %%A >> new.txt ) ===================================== If at first you don't succeed, you're about average. M2

Re #1. The poster is trying to use a "batch file" to delete blank lines from text files. That's what all the code is about. DerekW
