Please help me in writing a batch file which parses a text file sample.txt and prints some tokens. contents of sample.txt user_db ADMINS_CAS_SENS Y user_db ADMIN_USER_REQ N user_db ADMIN_FILE_REQ N user_db OLD_PASSWORD N
I want something like:
if token==ADMINS_CAS_SENS print the corresponding Y or N else if token==OLD_PASSWORD print the corresponding Y or N else if token==OLD_PASSWORD print the corresponding Y or N I could parse the file but I am failing to comapre string. The code I have written is: for /f "tokens=1,2,3 delims= " %%a in (sample.txt) do ( if %%b==ADMINS_CAS_SENS ( echo %c ) else ( echo %%a ) Though it's not complete. Thanks in advance!
I suggest you avoid nested If as they become soon unreadable. So the following code performs what you want in cleaner and more friendly way.
@Echo Off For /f "tokens=2,3 delims= " %%a in (sample.txt) Do ( If "%%a"=="ADMINS_CAS_SENS" Echo %%a %%b If "%%a"=="OLD_PASSWORD" Echo %%a %%b )

Hi, I have one more query. I have some code: If "%%a"=="FILE_PATH" echo File Path is: %%b My problem is variable %%b has value "%path%\bin\f_ocx.txt" here path is an environment variable. So in order to print the whole path, path varible should be resolved. Current output- File Path is: %path%\bin\f_ocx.txt Expected output- File Path is: c:myDirs\old_docs\bin\f_ocx.txt
Thanks in advance.
