How to split string in batch file using words inside the string

For example, I have this string in another variable:

444455556666&X=697&Y=250

I want to get the number after "&X=" in a variable and the number after "&Y=" in another variable. Is it possible in batch file? Notice: the number 444455556666 is VARIABLE (it can be it can be shorter or longer, so i can't split with the position)

Solution

  • You have a fine format there: If you split it by &, you get a number, X=nnn, and Y=nnn. Skip the first and use the second and third:

    set "var=444455556666&X=697&Y=250"
for /f "tokens=2,3 delims=&" %%x in ("%var%") do set "%%x"&set "%%y"
echo %x%,%y%
