Hi,

I want to write a batch file that can split words within a string. for example, I have a string "Hello-World". I just want to echo out any characters before the "-". so when I echo out, it would just say Hello.

any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance

@echo off & setLocal EnableDelayedExpansion

set str=hello-world

for /f "tokens=1 delims=-" %%a in ("!str!") do (
echo %%a
)


=====================================
If at first you don't succeed, you're about average.
