I'm now on the bigger problem I mentioned in this post...Searching a text file and sending only numbers greater than a certain absolute value to text file?
I figured if I set num=!num:-=! with an original value of, say, -17, then the !errorlevel! will evaluate to true or 0 right? Something's not working here though...
To clarify, I need to filter out only the first and fourth tokens of lines in which the fourth token is either greater than 3 or less than -3, as well as any lines that do not have a 4th token (this part is solved). I have tried using the /A option of set and it doesnt seem to work still.
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
set "min=-"
for /f "tokens=1,4" %%a in ('findstr /b /r /c:"[^ ]*:S:" print.log') do (
if %%b=="" (echo %%a ^*^*^* >>new.txt) else (
set num="%%b"
set num=!num:-=!
if !errorlevel!==0 (
if !num! GTR 3 echo %%a !min!!num! >> new.txt
) else (
if !num! GTR 3 echo %%a !num! >> new.txt
)
)
)
exit /b
The text in print.log looks like:
ksdf 0 0 -4
as7d:S:asf 0 0 -4
kc:S:cd3 0 0 -2
asdk:S:s 0 0 6
lasd:S:dd 0 0
@echo off
setlocal enableextensions disabledelayedexpansion
>"new.txt" (
for /f "tokens=1,4" %%a in ('
findstr /b /r /c:"[^ ]*:S:" print.log
') do if "%%~b"=="" (echo %%a ***) else (
set "print=1"
if %%b lss 4 if %%b gtr -4 set "print="
if defined print echo %%a %%b
)
)
Instead of printing when the value is lower than -3 OR greater than 3, it does not print when the value is lower than 4 AND greater than -4
-6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6

don't print
