I have a text file that is in columns. I want to extract all the data from one of the columns and write it to another text file. A sample would be 02 mgsr41 2009/03/01 005 09 opsa32 2009/03/01 005This goes on for hundreds of lines. I want to just extract the second column and write it to a text file to look like this.mgsr41opsa32I want to do this with a batch file if possible.
