batch scripting - parsing a file content


Recommended Posts

I have a batch script which is supposed to parse a file with file names and timestamps in it.


:MAIN
SETLOCAL EnableDelayedExpansion
FOR /F "tokens=1,2,4 skip=7" %%A in (C:\list_of_psa_files.txt) DO
@echo %%A %%B %%C

The file C:\list_of_psa_files.txt has the following data in it


Volume in drive C is Windows XP 6.6
Volume Serial Number is AC12-84AA
Directory of C:\Test
10/05/2011 03:17 PM <DIR> .
10/05/2011 03:17 PM <DIR> ..
10/05/2011 01:21 PM 4,393 1-16332-1008261.psa
10/05/2011 01:21 PM 4,863 1-16332-1011698.psa
10/05/2011 01:21 PM 4,793 1-16332-1023151.psa
10/05/2011 01:21 PM 4,916 1-16332-1035695.psa
10/05/2011 01:21 PM 4,524 1-16332-1037029.psa
10/05/2011 01:21 PM 4,235 1-16332-1049340.psa
10/05/2011 01:21 PM 3,135 1-16332-1049926.psa
10/05/2011 01:21 PM 4,657 1-16332-1054756.psa

However, when I am running my script it is failing with a message invalid syntax. Can somebody please help me figure out where am I going wrong.

All I wanted to do is to get a new file with only the Date, time and the filenames(without the .psa extension on it).

Thanks for your time - appreciate it.

Sanders.

I'm sure we all will. Thank you.

I thought that you would have been primarily interested in the poster, and was pointing out that if there was no reply back you may have wished to contact by PM to have at least satisfied your own ego and the posters query.
