Hi,
I need to extract the result of the follwing to a new variable called "DominoServiceName"

for %%T in ("c:\program files\lotus\domino\notes.ini") do findstr "ServiceName" %%T

The output of the FINDSTR in the FOR statement is:

ServiceName=Lotus Domino Server (ProgramFilesLotusDominodata)

I just want to set the part after "ServiceName=" to DominoServiceName

Thanks,
....David.

for /f "tokens=1* delims==" %%a in ('find "ServiceName" ^< notes.ini') do (
set DominoServiceName=%%b

echo !DominoServiceName!


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