Batch File Scripting - Truncating

Comment:

For my purposes, I need to truncate a variable. For example: Var1 = AT1ABC I need an ending result that will become: Var1 = AT Is there a truncate (or similar) command available?

:: setVar1.bat @echo off set Var1=AT1ABC echo %Var1% set Var1=%Var1:~0,2% echo %Var1% :: DONE Note that spaces are significant, so: set Var1=AT1ABC is NOT the same as: set Var1 = AT1ABC If at first you don't succeed, you're about average. M2
