Getting string from cmd output

I am running a command that produces the following output - 

                           Processing/
2019-02-07 12:10:43        305 Test1.csv
2019-02-07 12:11:43        306 Test2.csv

How can I use findstr to extract the file name. For example, Test1.csv and Test2.csv

Solution

  • You don't need to use findstr. You may use:

    @echo off

for /F "tokens=4" %%A IN ('command') do (
    echo %%A
)

    to echo the string you want.

    If you don't want to echo them, do them whatever you want: assign them to a variable, e.t.c., but remember that they are assigned in the for loop variable %%A.
