Hi,

I am trying to prepare a batch script which can extract code number from all the files into a list file. There are multiple files in the folder and only the code from the file should go to the list.

Ex:
ABC_11223344_NEO.txt
ABC_21223344_NEO.txt
ABC_31223344_NEO.txt

the list file should contain
11223344
21223344
31223344

What I have tried:

Looking for batch script to be run on windows

Solution 1

Create the following script and save it as list.cmd:

@ECHO OFF
SETLOCAL
SET fnm=%1
SET cfn=%fnm:.txt=%
set cfn=%cfn:~4,8%
echo %cfn%
ENDLOCAL

Run the command:

for %x in (*.txt) do list %x

You can pipe the output into a file to save the list.
