Solve : delete first character of all lines in a text file.?

1.	Solve : delete first character of all lines in a text file.?
Answer» Here is a sample of the text file: ~ === SALES Order Confirmation Message === ~ Customer: 0023410 ~ ** Delivery Date Exception. Promised Date greater than Required Date. ** ~ Required Date: Thu 10-Nov-11 Promised Date: Fri 11-Nov-11 ~ NEW Sales Order: 1343943 \| OW Order: 1436 I would like to delete the first character of every line. I've tried doing find and replace, but can't seem to get it to work. Any help would be appreciated. Code: [SELECT]echo off setlocal enabledelayedexpansion for /F "tokens=*" %%A in (myfile.txt) do ( set line=%%A echo !line:~1! >> newfile.txt ) Replace myfile.txt and newfile.txt with your own.Add in this at the end (outside the parenthesis) to make it transparent: Code: [Select]del myfile.txt ren newfile.txt myfile.txt
