An example would be:
Folder 1:
a.pdf
b.pdf
Folder11
c.pdf
Folder 2:
a.pdf
b.pdf
Folder21:
c.pdf
printing all files between folders
And the cmd would have a way to find the file only putting part of the words?
Example
TEXT : ABC*.PDF
PRINT ABCDF.PDF
1. To loop over multiple files recursively:
FOR /f "tokens=*" %%F in ('dir /s /b *.pdf') DO echo "%%F"
dir /s /b *.pfd finds all pdfs (*.pdf), in all subdirectories (/s), in bare format - ie just the path name (/b)
DO echo "%%F" just echo's the result to the console.
"tokens=*" adds the whole line into %%F regardless of white spaces / other tokens
/F makes it run the ('dir ...') command
2. To print from command line use: From this question
AcroRd32.exe /t "C:\Folder\File.pdf" "Brother MFC-7820N USB Printer" "Brother MFC-7820N USB Printer" "IP_192.168.10.110"
Note: Path to AcroRd32.exe must be in your path environment variable
3. Putting it all together -- edit -- 'I've added taskkill to close acrord32 after printing
FOR /f "tokens=*" %%F in ('dir /s /b *.pdf') DO AcroRd32.exe /t "%%~F" "Brother MFC-7820N USB Printer" "Brother MFC-7820N USB Printer" "IP_192.168.10.110" & taskkill /IM AcroRd32.exe

I have registered a URL protocol in my system using below script to launch a batch file "showPath.bat".
#echo off
reg add HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ProtoTest /t REG_SZ /d "My Description" /f
reg add HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ProtoTest /v "URL Protocol" /t REG_SZ /d "" /f
reg add HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ProtoTest\shell /f
reg add HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ProtoTest\shell\open /f
reg add HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ProtoTest\shell\open\command /t REG_SZ /d "C:\TestFolder\showPath.bat" /f
pause
Content of "showPath.bat" is just to display the current working directory. ie.,
#echo off
SET var=%cd%
ECHO %var%
pause
If I run the batch file directly by double clicking it, I can see its path correctly. However if I launch the batch file using the URL protocol registered above. ie, from Chrome, browsing "ProtoTest://", the batch file runs, however display's the path "C:\Windows\system32" instead of the batch file's directory. So, I believe applications launched using URL protocol runs with system32 as working directory. Now How can I get the batch file run from its own directory when launched from browser using URL protocol - without modifying the batch file itself. Only URL protocol possible to be changed from my end.
Below code worked for me. I had my batch file in a folder that had spaces in it, so added "" along with escape char. However it gets added to registry as below in image without escape characters. Answer credit to #aschipfl
#echo off
reg add HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ProtoTest2 /t REG_SZ /d "My Description" /f
reg add HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ProtoTest2 /v "URL Protocol" /t REG_SZ /d "" /f
reg add HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ProtoTest2\shell /f
reg add HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ProtoTest2\shell\open /f
reg add HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ProtoTest2\shell\open\command /t REG_EXPAND_SZ /d "%ComSpec% /C \"cd /D \"C:\Source\For Ref\URL Protocol\BatchTest\" ^& showPath.bat\"" /f

I used the batch file with commands :-
set /p ytlink="Enter the link of Youtube Video:- "
youtube-dl -f "bestvideo[height<=1080]+bestaudio/best[height<=1080]" -o "D:\Videos\%(title)s.%(ext)s" %ytlink%
pause
but the output file name is (ext)s.webm ,it seems cmd is treating %(title)s.% in -o "D:\Videos\%(title)s.%(ext)s" as variable.So how to get video title?
OS=Windows 10 64bit 1909
youtube-dl=2020.01.24
You have to use double % in a batch file.
set /p ytlink="Enter the link of Youtube Video:- "
youtube-dl -f "bestvideo[height<=1080]+bestaudio/best[height<=1080]" -o "D:\Videos\%%(title)s.%%(ext)s" %ytlink%
pause
Maybe someone will need it. Based on 1957classic answer. Download video and audio in the best quality to your desktop with the original name with the url taken from the clipboard.

i use the following command to create a variable from my CPU Name:
#echo off
Rem create variable from cpu name
for /f "useback tokens=* skip=1" %%g in (`wmic cpu get name ^|findstr /i "."`) do (
set CPU_NAME=%%g
echo %CPU_NAME%
)
but the result is nothing, because there is some empty lines at end of "wmic cpu get name" command result and remove created variable
how can i solve it?
thanks a lot
Please search SO for delayed expansion.
call echo %%CPU_NAME%%
should show you the required data. This is one of several well-documented solutions.
There are some empty lines at the end of wmic cpu get name
Use findstr as follows to strip blank lines from the wmic output. You also need to use delayed expansion
Corrected batch file (test.cmd):
#echo off
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
Rem create variable from cpu name
for /f "useback tokens=* skip=1" %%g in (`wmic cpu get name ^| findstr /r /v "^$"`) do (
set CPU_NAME=%%g
echo !CPU_NAME!
)
endlocal
Example usage:
> test
Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2410M CPU # 2.30GHz

There is no need to echo the result within the for loop in your case because you are only setting a single name. Just echo it later.
#Echo Off
For /F "Skip=1 Delims=" %%A In ('WMIC CPU Get Name'
) Do For /F "Delims=" %%B In ("%%A") Do Set "CPU_NAME=%%B"
Echo=%CPU_NAME%
The second For loop is intended to remove the unwanted 'empty lines' you reported.
I have a simple text file with some numbers in it:
1122
2244
But when I run the CMD
FOR /F %i IN (CIFLIST.TXT) DO ECHO %i
Nothing is output to the screen?
I've also tried from a batch file as
FOR /F %%i IN (CIFLIST.TXT) DO ECHO %%i
But again, no output? Any ideas?
[I've been through How do you loop through each line in a text file using a windows batch file? but can't find anything obvious)
try this:
FOR /F "delims=" %%i IN ('type CIFLIST.TXT') DO ECHO %%i
FOR /F "delims=" %%i IN ('cmd /A /C type CIFLIST.TXT') DO ECHO %%i
i am trying to parse the output of another function which is output line by line. to understand the function, it returns several lines of parameter and numbers like "top=123456789" or "low=123456789" (without the quotations) -
i try to parse the lines now with
for /F "delims=" %%a in ('%%I ^| findstr top') do set updir=%%1
set "updir=%1:~4%"
echo. %updir%
i am trying to get the pure numbers by trimming the known keywords like top, which would need then to be set to a var to return (%~1% ???) to a calling function back (other batch file).
could anyone help me with this please? shure it would be better to trim right from "=".
UPDATE:
this is the code returning the lines from the script i linked. i tried several ways to parse the return but i seem to be blind or too stupid to see, all is going weird.
for /f "delims=" %%I in ('cscript /nologo /e:jscript "%~f0" "%URL%"') do (
rem process the HTML line-by-line
org echo(%%I
try1 (echo %%I|findstr top
try2 for /F "delims=" %%a in ('%%I ^| findstr top') do set updir=%%a
try2 echo. %updir%
try3 for /F "delims=" %%a in ('%%I') do findstr top
try3 echo. %2%
)
didn't work either
for /F "tokens=1,2delims==" %%a in ('%%I') do if %1 == top set updir=%%b
echo %updir%
i tried both delim version beneath (too the tokens/delims version) but i don't get it right.
UPDATE SOLUTION:
for the ones reading the question here some additional comment:
rem trim whitespace from beginning and end of line
for /f "tokens=*" %%x in ("%%~I") do set "line=%%x"
rem test that trimmed line matches "variable=number"
to find a single item like e.g. "top" you have to add "to" or adjust whole first token
echo !line! | findstr /i "^to[a-z]=[0-9]" >NUL && (
rem test was successful. Scrape number.
for /f "tokens=2 delims==" %%x in ("%%I") do set "value=%%x"
echo !value!
)
If all you wish to do is to is to skip all lines until you find one that matches "text=numerals", then scrape the numeric portion of that line, all you need to do is this:
for /f "delims=" %%I in ('cscript /nologo /e:jscript "%~f0" "%URL%"') do (
rem trim whitespace from beginning and end of line
for /f "tokens=*" %%x in ("%%~I") do set "line=%%x"
rem test that trimmed line matches "variable=number"
echo !line! | findstr /i "^[a-z]*=[0-9]*$" >NUL && (
rem test was successful. Scrape number.
for /f "tokens=2 delims==" %%x in ("%%I") do set "value=%%x"
)
)
I think that's right, anyway. I didn't test it.
But I suspect that this is not going to work as you intend, since what you are scraping will probably include HTML tags. We will probably not be able to help you scrape the HTML unless you pastebin the HTML source of an example page, and explain what you wish to scrape from that source example.
does this fit your needs?
for /F "delims=" %%a in ('type file.txt ^| findstr "top low"') do set /a %%a
set top
set low
echo %top%, %low%
Try this:
for /F "tokens=2delims==" %%a in ('findstr top file.txt') do set "updir=%%a"
echo.%updir%
According to your comment my new code:
#echo off &setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
set "string=%%I"
set "string=!string:*top=!"
for /f "delims== " %%z in ("!string!") do set "string=%%z"
echo !string!
.. output:
123456789
