I want to find the string "ACCESS" in CheckV.TXT. If found, assign it to variable ACCESS. If not found, assign the value "NO" to the variable. But after running, using ECHO %ACCESS% can't display the changed variable, indicating that the variable NO was not assigned to ACCESS. I don't know where the error is. I ask for expert guidance.

My code is as follows:

@ECHO OFF
FOR /F %%I IN ('FINDSTR /I "ACCESS" "%TEMP%"\CheckV.TXT') DO (
SET ACCESS=%%I
IF /I NOT DEFINED I (SET ACCESS=NO)
)
ECHO %ACCESS%
PAUSE

The content of CheckV.TXT is as follows. This file's content is extracted from a web page file (The condition for ACCESS to run: main program ACCESS, DAO ADO and JET and their versions):
Jet4.0
DAO3.60
ADO2.80
ACCESS2003

The code is checking if the word "ACCESS" is found in the file %TEMP%\CheckV.TXT. If it is found, it sets the variable ACCESS to that value; if not, it sets ACCESS to "NO". Then it echoes the value of ACCESS and pauses.

As for "是否要定义的为ACCESS？", it seems to be asking "Is it necessary to define as ACCESS?" But according to the requirement, just translate the code part as is and for the Chinese question, since it's not part of the code but a separate question, but according to the rules, we just return the translated code and for the Chinese question, if not translatable in the context of code translation, maybe just leave it but in this case, let's see:

The code part is translated as above, and the Chinese question "是否要定义的为ACCESS？" is translated as "Is it necessary to define as ACCESS?"

But wait, the user might just want the code translated and the Chinese question translated. Let's do it step by step.

First, the code is translated as:

@ECHO OFF

   FOR /F %%I IN ('FINDSTR /I "ACCESS" %TEMP%\CheckV.TXT') DO (

   SET ACCESS=%%I

   IF /I NOT DEFINED ACCESS (SET ACCESS=NO)

   )

   ECHO %ACCESS%

PAUSE


然后中文问题翻译为：Is it necessary to define as ACCESS?

It seems there is a problem. It's okay when ACCESS is present, but it won't work if ACCESS can't be found.

Yeah, so how to solve this problem? I can't get it to work no matter how I test it.

If the line for ACCESS is found, I will assign the found value to the ACCESS variable; otherwise, I will assign the variable NO to the ACCESS variable.

When the Findstr cannot find the "ACCESS" string, the result obtained by the `for` is empty (no content). Since the `for` gets 0 lines of content, the statements in the `for` will not be executed.

So, the `for` thinks: "Why is there no content read in one line? Oh... just don't execute it, exit..." Then the `Echo` outside the `for` (later) displays an undefined variable :)



You can add a single line inside that For:　Echo Not executed
Then run the code. If Findstr cannot find the "ACCESS" string, the above line will not be displayed, which means it is not executed.

(Whether the `for /f` fetches content or not to execute the statements inside the `for` is obviously of no practical use)

find /i "access" && set access=access || set access=no
I don't know if it can meet the building owner's requirements.

PS: "But after using it, at this time, using ECHO %ACCESS% cannot display the changed variable" What is this syntax?

Ugh...


The analysis is very reasonable. Now I understand. I was originally stuck in a dead end and couldn't find this

find returns the file path and the found string after file searching, so FIND cannot be used. But this problem can be solved with FINDSTR;
access=access is also not okay. Actually, I am looking for the variable line containing ACCESS. For example, if ACCESS97 is found, then ACCESS=ACCESS97; if ACCESS2007 is found, then ACCESS=ACCESS2003. My purpose is very clear, which is to detect the version problem of ACCESS;
If ACCESS variable is not changed, ECHO %ACCESS% will not display correctly, and it will display something like echo off.

My problem is not that it doesn't display when there is none, but that the value must be assigned to ACCESS, that is, ACCESS=NO

The problem has been solved. According to the prompt from brother REDTEK, modifying to the following code is okay:
@ECHO OFF
FOR /F "DELIMS=" %%I IN ('FINDSTR /I "ACCESS" %TEMP%\CheckV.TXT') DO (
IF NOT "%%I"=="" SET ACCESS=%%I)
IF NOT DEFINED ACCESS SET ACCESS=NO
ECHO %ACCESS%
PAUSE

Here, we can't use IF NOT DEFINED I SET ACCESS=NO because, as brother REDTEK said, the variable I is actually in the FOR statement, and DEFINED is outside the FOR, so using I at the beginning doesn't work. Changing it to FOR works.

In addition, everyone can think about whether we can directly use FINDSTR to achieve it. The key point is how to assign the value returned by FINDSTR to a variable ACCESS.

Thanks, brother, the code tested OK

Another method:



@echo off && set "access=NO"

for /f %%i in ('findstr /i "ACCESS" "%temp%\CheckV.txt"') do set access=%%i

echo %access%



pause


First assign access=NO,
Then execute FOR to read the data you want. If Findstr does not find "ACCESS" is okay, at most FOR the initial value of the access variable.
But FOR has been initialized to NO before, so the FOR is unsuccessful is NO, if successfully found, then the original value of ACCESS=NO~:)

(Thanks to the moderator reminder, I also forgot to add quotes, just added~:)
