I want to add specific strings at the beginning and end of each line in a text document. How to achieve this?

Under DOS, it seems that this can only be done with third-party tools. The VBS one is easy.

I used to use change.exe for text replacement, and inserting at the beginning of lines was a bit troublesome.

Under DOS, you can try using the lmod tool. For example:

type in.txt | lmod start [] end > out.txt

In this way, strings can be added to the beginning and end of each line in in.txt, and the result is input to out.txt

@echo off
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
set mm=%1
set /p start=Enter the string to add at the beginning of each line:
set /p end=Enter the string to add at the end of each line:
for /f "tokens=1,2* delims=:" %%i in ('findstr /n . %mm%') do echo !start!%%j!end! >>22.txt
endlocal
I saw Brother Wunaike's post about adding symbols before and after a few days ago. The above one can filter blank lines, but the generated file deletes the previous blank lines. I don't know if the blank lines are useful to the original poster or not. Also, there is the issue of handling characters like " & <". The ECHO command cannot directly write to the generated file, so the ^ leading character is needed for display. If the original poster has no other requirements, this should be almost able to complete the basic use!!!!!

Hehe, thanks. I have carefully studied the codes written by several brothers, and finally can meet the requirements.
In the past, because I had little contact with batch processing, I didn't understand this aspect well. After researching for two days, I finally learned some things and had a further understanding of batch processing. Now I just haven't fully understood FOR and SET. The help files don't explain it very clearly, and for some discussions on this aspect, most of them only have how to write the code, without explaining the meaning. I wonder if anyone can provide me with a better thing to learn more deeply.

There seem to be many command introductions in the forum. Take a good look by yourself, mainly practice, and the above may be helpful to you

Hehe, thank you~ Later, I specially studied for carefully and did some practice, and finally figured out how the several parameters of for work. This article is really good. If I had read it earlier, I would have understood it earlier. I saved it, hehe.

I want to add a specific string after each character in a text document. How to achieve it?

For example:
Lovely sun ah
Slight spring breeze blows
Become:
Ke-ai-de-tai-yang-a-
Wei-wei-de-chun-feng-chui-

Please help from all the experts!!!!

Re khw:
If purely using batch processing to solve it, the efficiency and fault tolerance are not very ideal, and it is relatively cumbersome. It is recommended to use VBS to solve it:
SFile = GetFileName() Msg = "The replacement character format is:" & vbtab & "str1:=str2" & vblf Msg = Msg & "Omit str2 can delete str1" Str = inputbox(Msg,"Enter the character to insert:") if len(Str) = 0 then Wscript.Quit 'First read the file into StrOld, then write the processed string StrNew back to the file with CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") set F = .OpenTextFile(SFile,1,True) StrOld = F.ReadAll set F = Nothing set F = .OpenTextFile(SFile,2,True) if len(Str) > 1 and instr(Str,":=") then StrArray = split(Str,":=") StrNew = Replace(StrOld,StrArray(0),StrArray(1)) else StrNew = InertStr() end if F.Write(StrNew) end with 'Insert character function, read each character in turn and judge whether it is space, carriage return, line feed Function InertStr() for i = 1 to len(StrOld) if mid(StrOld,i,1) = space(1) or _ asc(mid(StrOld,i,1)) = 13 or _ asc(mid(StrOld,i,1)) = 10 then strTmp = strTmp & mid(StrOld,i,1) else strTmp = strTmp & mid(StrOld,i,1) & Str end if next InertStr = strTmp End Function 'Get the name of the file to be operated Function GetFileName() if WScript.Arguments.Count <> 0 Then GetFileName = Wscript.Arguments(0) else with CreateObject("UserAccounts.CommonDialog") .Filter = "Text files|*.txt|All files|*.*" .ShowOpen GetFileName = .Filename end with end if if len(trim(GetFileName)) = 0 then Wscript.Quit End Function
Save it as "Character Processing.vbs". Then you can drag the file to be processed onto it or double-click to run it. In the pop-up dialog box, enter the symbol you want to insert.
It can not only insert symbols, but also delete and replace symbols. For specific deficiencies, you can modify it yourself. Tested under Windows XP Pro SP2.
ps: It is recommended to post a separate post for a separate question.

Hello moderator 3742668:

I have tested and it's okay. Thank you very much for your detailed explanation. I really admire it!

khw

This problem is best solved with sed, I think~ Any characters have been tested, just one sentence can do

sed "s/^/\/span>/;s/\x24/\/span>/" test.txt

Sed download: http://www.student.northpark.edu/pemente/sed/gsed407x.zip

In batch processing, for the problem of empty lines, it seems that this can be solved:
Change the original for /f "tokens=1,2* delims=:" %%i in ('findstr /n . 1.txt')
to for /f "tokens=1,2* delims=:" %%i in ('findstr /n .* 1.txt')

@echo off
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
set /p start=Enter the string to add at the beginning of each line:
set /p end=Enter the string to add at the end of each line:
for /f "tokens=1,2* delims=:" %%i in ('findstr /n .* 1.txt') do echo ^!start^!%%j^!end^!>>22.txt
pause>nul

Now the current sed has an -i option that can directly act on the source file;

In fact, it automatically completes the operation of redirecting to a temporary file and then replacing the file for you.


The problem of the LZ can be completed in an instant in the visual block operation in vim;

Choosing a good editor is much more time-saving and labor-saving.
