There is a file b.txt whose contents are: aa3vv4bb34cc4dd34ff

I want to use “34” as the delimiter string and extract the strings:

-----------------------------------------
@echo off
for /f "delims=34 tokens=1,2,3*" %%i in (b.txt) do (
echo %%i---%%j---%%k
)
pause
-----------------------------------------
Originally I wanted to use “34” as a delimiter string, so that after processing it would output “aa3vv4bb--cc4dd--ff”, but when the batch file runs it does not treat “34” as a whole, so I did not get the result I wanted (it outputs “aa---vv---bb”). Is there any simple way to do this?

First replace 34 with a character that will not appear in the text, then use that character as the column delimiter.

So that means you can't directly use 34 itself as the delimiter? In other words, you can't use a string of length 2 or more as the delimiter?

Yes, the for command will split the string you set into individual characters.

Got it, thanks, moderator.
