Hello, I'm attempting to use FINDSTR to search for data contained within parenthesis of several files and then output them to a text file. So far I've tried variations of the following: FINDSTR [( - )] *.HTML | text.txt Please help! :(

Post a few lines of the files. ===================================== If at first you don't succeed, you're about average. M2

Hi, Here are 3 of 800,000+ lines: RandomCodeRandomCode('abc','a1')"MoreRandomCode; RandomCodeRandomCode('123','a1')"MoreRandomCode; RandomCodeRandomCode('xyz','b1')"MoreRandomCode; I came across this snippet of code that I should put me on the right track if I can figure out what each snippet means... FOR /F "tokens=2,3 delims= " %%A IN ('PING -a %1') DO IF "%%B"=="[%1]" SET PC=%%A I know I need to replace PING with FINDSTR, but am not sure what to do from there :(

@echo off > newfile & setLocal EnableDelayedExpansion for /f "tokens=2 delims=()" %%a in (myfile) do ( echo %%a >> newfile ) ===================================== If at first you don't succeed, you're about average. M2

Mechanix, Please let me know if you prefer Starbucks or Jamba Juice! I've got one of each. It's the very least I can do to THANK YOU!

Never heard of Jamba Juice so I'll take my chances with SBUX. But I wouldn't buy their stock right now. :( ===================================== If at first you don't succeed, you're about average. M2
