twig123 Posted December 29, 2008 Posted December 29, 2008 I got another strange batch coding Q: that I cant seem to find the answer to...I have a txt files with a list of files contained within it - Ex:"C:\Documents and Settings\User\Local Settings\Temp\TDSS6784.tmp ""C:\Documents and Settings\User\Local Settings\Temp\TDSS684f.tmp ""C:\Documents and Settings\User\Local Settings\Temp\TDSS9f9b.tmp "How do I remove the trailing space after the file extension?looking at variable modifiers... %var:~0,-1% Should do what I need, however, how do I implement this to process all the lines in my txt file.I could use an array, but I don't know the proper syntax of how to encorperate the modifier, as the below code does not work properly:For /f "tokens=*" %%I in (FileList.txt) do SET Ifiles=%%I&&Echo %Ifiles:~0,-1%>>CorrectedFiles.txt as it just places a bunch of ~0,-1 's in CorrectedFiles.txtDo I have a typo, or is there a better way of doing this within a batch file?Thanks a million
Yzöwl Posted December 29, 2008 Posted December 29, 2008 Well your biggest error was that you'd have needed to enable delayed expansion!Here's an alternative@Echo off&Setlocal enableextensionsFor /f "delims=" %%# In (FileList.txt) Do Set "Ifiles=%%~#"&&Call :SUB %%Ifiles%%Goto :Eof:SUBEcho:"%*">>CorrectedFiles.txt
