Nice

These are all old posts already...

willsort's eternal fan

Very good, but why does it feel like it's incomplete!!

I've read it several times. There are parts I still don't quite understand.... Even copying the code down and running it doesn't work.
No matter what I do with the part below, I can't get the effect I want... OP, please take another look.

This command can be even more powerful. For example, your todel.txt might not be as clean as in the example above, but generated directly by DIR, with some useless information in it, like this:



Volume in drive D is DATA
Volume Serial Number is C47C-9908

Directory of D:\tmp

09/26/2001 12:50 PM 18,426 alg0925.txt
12/02/2001 04:29 AM 795 bsample.txt
04/11/2002 04:18 AM 2,043 invitation.txt
4 File(s) 25,651 bytes
0 Dir(s) 4,060,700,672 bytes free


for can still extract the filenames from it and operate on them:



for /f "skip=5 tokens=5" %a in (todel.txt) do @if exist %a DEL %a


Of course, the command above performs deletion. If you just want to see which files will be operated on, replace DEL with ech



for /f "skip=5 tokens=5" %a in (todel.txt) do @if exist %a echo %a


You will see:


alg0925.txt
bsample.txt
invitation.txt

These last couple of days I've kept reading this article... and finally understood a tiny bit of it...
Don't know why, but I have to use this statement to make it show the effect the OP described. But it still doesn't achieve the effect of deleting the other extra characters... still researching...

for /f "skip=3 tokens=5" %%a in (todel.txt) do @echo %%a

alg0925.txt
bsample.txt
invitation.txt

/... hehe, reading the OP's post reminded me of another hard problem
for /f %a in (bingdu.txt) do del %a /f /s /q /a

The contents of bingdu.txt are:
1.txt
2.txt
3.txt
4.txt

I use it to kill viruses... / finally succeeded... thanks, OP... you solved a big problem for me, it had bothered me for a long time

Bump

Bookmarked

Why do I see two identical posts?

This is really explained well, collected, I'll read it slowly

I'm new here, just saw this, thanks

After messing with it for ages, I finally figured out how to use for. Thanks, OP, o(∩_∩)o...

I just had to reply. It solved the for trouble that had bothered me for 2 months. I can't help sincerely exclaiming: very good! Very powerful!

The content posted by the OP is detailed, Xiao'er gives you a bump!!
