[renaming files in CMD scripts]

Hi. The big problem with my code is that in this line:

for /F "delims=" %%c in ('findstr /C:"<a>" "%source%" ^| findstr /C:"%pdf%"') do ( 

the start of tag must be "<a " instead of "<a>", as Yzöwl noted:

... then the following will always fail:

findstr /C:"<a>"

I had fixed this problem in my original post above.

As I said in the original site, I don't know much about .PDF files and this detail was confused because the tag <a> was mentioned there. However, I noted this point when I indicated that I tested this program with this "GEN 0 GENERAL.html" example file:

Line one
<a>href="/Dokumenter/EK_GEN_0_X_en.pdf" class="uline"><b>GEN 0.X Preface</b></a>
Line three
<a>href="/Dokumenter/EK_GEN_0_1_en.pdf" class="uline"><b>GEN 0.1 Preface</b></a>
Line five

I apologize for any trouble caused by this detail...

[renaming files in CMD scripts]

Hi. I am newbie at this forum. I was invited here by DosCode to post my last solution to this problem that was developed in detail in other site. So here it is:

@echo off
setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
set "source=GEN 0 GENERAL.html"
set "pdf=0_1_en.pdf"
echo In file: "%source%"
echo Look for anchor: "%pdf%"

for /F "delims=" %%c in ('findstr /C:"<a " "%source%" ^| findstr /C:"%pdf%"') do (
   set "tag=%%c"
   rem Get the value of "<b>" sub-tag
   set "tag=!tag:<b>=$!"
   set "tag=!tag:</b>=$!"
   for /F "tokens=2 delims=$" %%b in ("!tag!") do set title=%%b
   echo Title found: "!title!"
)

If you wish, you may review the development of this solution at this site

Regards...

EDIT: I fixed a detail in my code (changed "<a>" by "<a ") that prevent it to correctly run...
