Batch script for parsing text file

Comment:

I need a script that will receive one text file as input and create another smaller text file from the first file. I think this can be done with find command, but I'm not sure how to proceed. This is a simplified input file: First line <file1> header ignore ignore target1 target2 <file2> header ignore target1 <file3> header ignore ignore target2 ignore And the output file: First line <file1> header target1 target2 <file2> header target1 <file3> header target2

Your post is not fully clear... If the input file even if simplified is actually what showed, then the following suffices Type In.txt | Find /V "ignore" > OUT.txt If however that is a template of the *structure* of your file, then a more sophisticated command/script is needed and explanation too.
