Solve : How to remove part of a string within a text file? |
|
Answer» Hi Hi If you want a new text file with line as in your text file, but with each line having the final 4 characters (.mp3) removed, a script like this should work @echo off setlocal enabledelayedexpansion set inputfile=birds1.txt set outputfile=birds-no-extensions.txt if exist "%outputfile%" del "%outputfile%" for /f "delims=" %%A in (' type "%inputfile%" ' ) do ( set oldline=%%A set newline=!oldline:~-0,-5! echo Old: !oldline! New: !newline! echo !newline! >> "%outputfile%" ) echo done pause birds1.txt Golden-bellied Euphonia.mp3 Golden-headed Manakin.mp3 Golden-spangled Piculet.mp3 Golden Collard Macaw.mp3 Golden Parakeet.mp3 Golden-winged Parakeet.mp3 Grassland Sparrow.mp3 Gray-*censored* Sabrewing.mp3 Gray-chested Greenlet.mp3 Gray-*censored* Martin.mp3 Gray-crowned Flycatcher.mp3 Gray-fronted Dove.mp3 Gray Monjita.mp3 Gray Hawk.mp3 Gray Antbird.mp3 Gray Antwren.mp3 Gray Rumped Swift.mp3 Gray-winged Trumpeter.mp3 Gray-headed Kite.mp3 Gray-headed Tanager.mp3 Gray-necked Wood-Rail.mp3 Grayish Mourner.mp3 Grayish Saltator.mp3 Great Jacamar.mp3 Great Kiskadee.mp3 Great Horned Owl.mp3 Great Tinamou.mp3 Great Rhea.mp3 Great Dusky Swift.mp3 Great Egret.mp3 Great Black Hawk.mp3 Great Antshrike.mp3 Greater Ani.mp3 Greater Thornbird.mp3 Greater Yellow-headed Vulture.mp3 Green-tailed Jacamar.mp3 birds-no-extensions.txt Golden-bellied Euphonia Golden-headed Manakin Golden-spangled Piculet Golden Collard Macaw Golden Parakeet Golden-winged Parakeet Grassland Sparrow Gray-*censored* Sabrewing Gray-chested Greenlet Gray-*censored* Martin Gray-crowned Flycatcher Gray-fronted Dove Gray Monjita Gray Hawk Gray Antbird Gray Antwren Gray Rumped Swift Gray-winged Trumpeter Gray-headed Kite Gray-headed Tanager Gray-necked Wood-Rail Grayish Mourner Grayish Saltator Great Jacamar Great Kiskadee Great Horned Owl Great Tinamou Great Rhea Great Dusky Swift Great Egret Great Black Hawk Great Antshrike Greater Ani Greater Thornbird Greater Yellow-headed Vulture Green-tailed Jacamar Thanks for the help. Works greatCode: [Select]@echo off set inputfile=birds1.txt set outputfile=birds-no-extensions.txt if exist "%outputfile%" del "%outputfile%" for /f "delims=" %%A in (' type "%inputfile%" ' ) do ( echo %%~nA>>"%outputfile%" )That's a more compact alternative, and the FOR part could be all on one line @echo off set inputfile=birds1.txt set outputfile=birds-no-extensions.txt if exist "%outputfile%" del "%outputfile%" for /f "delims=" %%A in (' type "%inputfile%" ' ) do echo %%~nA>>"%outputfile%" . |
