Answer» Hi All,
I am using windows XP pro and I need to be able to take a RAW text file and using a batch file and pipe out certain information into another text file.
Example:
Raw text file may contain name, address, phone etc… and I want to take all the text lines that have the name “Smith” in them and COPY them to another text file called ‘Names.txt’
Is there a way to pipe the entire line into another file?
THANKS for your help
Ken
You can use the Type command and pipe its output through Find.exe.
Suppose Rawfile.txt contained these lines
John Smith
Bill Brown
Sam Jones
Smith Z Wilson
George W Shrub
Amy Q Smith
then this command would create a file called Names.txt
type "Rawfile.txt" | find "Smith" > "Names.txt"
Names.txt would look like this
John Smith
Smith Z Wilson
Amy Q Smith
Thank you very much... That does what I want. Have a Great Day!
Ken
