How can I read a braces delimited text file in a Windows batch file?












2















I have the file txt having some lines , and here below is my txt file



rule.txt
----------------------------------------
direct
replace{100,1011}
replace{india,o891}
replace{1100,101}
-----------------------------------------


I need to capture the numbers in between open braces and closed brace using batch file.

    (1) As a matter of names, ( and ) are called parentheses. They do look similar to braces: { and }. (2) What research have you done? What have you tried?

  • Starting pointers perhaps.... FOR /F "USEBACKQ DELIMS={, TOKENS=2" %F IN ("C:foldertext.txt") DO ECHO %~F and FOR /F "USEBACKQ DELIMS=}, TOKENS=2" %F IN ("C:foldertext.txt") DO ECHO %~F, and then you can use some logic to concat the two in order and perhaps replace non int with zero or whatever else you need. Your requirements are vague but I'd tackle with PowerShell myself for something like this rather than batch but those are some batch quick thought starting points with vague requirements perhaps.

With a batch-file:



:: Q:Test20181226SU_1387726.cmd
@Echo off
For /F "tokens=2,3 delims={,}" %%A IN (
' findstr "{" rule.txt'
) DO ECHO:%%A =^> %%B


sample output:



> Q:Test20181226SU_1387726.cmd
100 => 1011
india => o891
1100 => 101

    If you are trying to capture the data inside the curly braces then you may use the following powershell command.



    Get-ChildItem rule.txt | Select-String -Pattern '(?<={).*?(?=})' | % { $_.Matches } | % { $_.Value }


    Output



    100,1011
    india,o891
    1100,101
