Change date format from file name (ddmmyyyy) into dd/mm/yyyy - batch-file

Following from previous code, previous link I would like to improvise my code by changing date format which is ddmmyyyy which I get from file name then stored this data into CSV file.
Is it easier to change from file name or inside csv file?
File name
10092019.LOG
11092019.LOG
12092019.LOG
Current code
#echo off
cls
setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
set /a total=0
type NUL>Report.csv
(
echo Station Number,Date ,Done
for /R "%userprofile%\Google Drive\Report BACKUP\" %%G in (*.LOG) do (
for %%b in ("%%~dpG\.\..") do set station= %%~nxb
for /f %%a in ('type "%%G"^|find /C /v "" ') do set /a total+=%%a&echo !station!,%%~nG ,%%a
)
echo ,TOTAL ,!total!
)>>Report.csv
GOTO :EOF
CSV file format contain 2 header
LASTEST UPDATE: 27/Sep/2019 12:26 , ,
STATION NUMBER,DATE ,TAG
Station1,10092019 ,11
Station1,11092019 ,491
Station1,12092019 ,205

Got the idea from here while looking for a solution. Silly me all I need to do is just adding this 2 line..
set dt= %%~nG
and
echo !dt:~0,3!/!dt:~3,2!/!dt:~5,8!
but Im still open for a suggestion or maybe more elegant way to achieve this. Thank you.

Replace field value in property file using batch

Can anyone help me to replace a field value in property file using batch.
I have this field in my application.properties file: accessKey=AKIAJ2Q and I want to replace it with accessKey=XXXXX
I tried with sed command as recommanded here but it didn't work. The send command is not recognized by windows 10.
I tried also the following code:
SET key="XXXXX"
FOR /F %i IN (application.properties) DO SET accessKey=%key%
pause
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
There is surely a way to replace a string inside a txt/properties file using pure batch.
Taking above example to replace accessKey in application.properties
file.
#ECHO OFF
SETLOCAL
SET "sourcedir=C:\<Add directory path of application.properties>"
(
FOR /f "usebackqdelims=" %%a IN ("%sourcedir%\application.properties") DO (
FOR /f "tokens=1*delims==" %%g IN ("%%a") DO (
IF /i "%%g"=="accessKey" (
ECHO(%%g=xxxx
) ELSE (
ECHO(%%a)
)
)
)>application_new.properties
:: This new file now contains a modified version.
rem ECHO(MOVE /y application_new.properties "%sourcedir%\application.properties"
GOTO :EOF
There is no way to "replace" something inside a text file with pure batch. You could use a 3rd party tool like Find'n'Replace or even some PowerShell commands. But what you can do is to "copy" the text file into a temp file while replacing the token you are looking for. Afterwards you can delete the original file and replace it with the temporary one. Here is the code:
#echo off
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
set sourcefile=something.txt
set tempfile=tempfile.txt
set oldtoken=AKIAJ2Q
set newtoken=XXXXX
type nul>%tempfile%
for /f "tokens=*" %%l in (%sourcefile%) do (
set line=%%l
set line=!line:%oldtoken%=%newtoken%!
echo !line!>>tempfile.txt
)
del %sourcefile%
move %tempfile% %sourcefile%

Batch file that will modify date in txt file

I have a line in a text file that I'm trying to modify using a batch file. The line in this case is the lastexportdate=2014-01-01. I'm trying to get the batch file to modify this from
lastexportdate=2014-01-01
to
lastexportdate= Current timestamp.
Is this possible to have this equal the timestamp of my computer? Not certain how to go about tackling this, so if anyone could help that would be awesome. I'm using Windows 7.
File contents below:
root.footer=</CREDITEXPORT>
root.header=<CREDITEXPORT>
emailaddronsuccess=test#test.com
emailaddronerror=test#test.com
rerunexportdate=2014-09-06
errorfilelocation=C:\\
lastexportdate=2014-01-01
xmloutputlocation=C:\\
#echo off
setlocal
rem getting current time stamp
set "beginJS=mshta "javascript:var t=new Date();var dd=t.getDate();var mm=t.getMonth()+1;var yyyy=t.getFullYear();if(dd^<10) dd='0'+dd;if(mm^<10) mm='0'+mm;close(new ActiveXObject('Scripting.FileSystemObject').GetStandardStream(1).Write("
set "endJS=));""
:: FOR /F does not need pipe
for /f %%N in (
'%beginJS% yyyy+'-'+mm+'-'+dd %endJS%'
) do set cds=%%N
echo cds=%cds%
rem processing the file
rem set the location of the file
set "content_file=c:\some.file"
break>temp.file
for /f "usebackq tokens=1* delims==" %%a in ("%content_file%") do (
if "%%a" NEQ "lastexportdate" echo %%a=%%b>>temp.file
if "%%a" EQU "lastexportdate" echo %%a=%cds%>>temp.file
)
Not tested.Just change the location of the content_file and check if the created temp.file is ok.
To replace the file add move temp.file "%content_file%" at the end.

Removing last word of a line in a text file using windows script

I'm trying to remove the last word of a line in a text file using windows script. Can someone please help me with the code?
I have got a text file test.txt which has the following content
This is a test file union
this is to check union
this is to remove union
I would like to get a batch script to remove the word "union" from the very last line of the textfile. i.e line number 3 (this is to remove union).
Help me please!
Thanks in advance
Try like this :
#echo off
set "$DelVar=Union"
set "$File=test.txt"
if exist Output.txt del Output.txt
for /f %%a in ('Find /V /C "" ^< %$File%') do set "$Nbligne=%%a"
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
set "$c=1"
for /f "delims=" %%a in (%$File%) do (
set "$Line=%%a"
if !$c!==%$Nbligne% (
set "$last=%%a"
set "$Last=!$Last:%$DelVar%=!"
echo !$Last!>>output.txt
exit/b
)
echo !$Line!>>output.txt
set /a $c+=1
)
It will create a file Output.txt without the word Union of the last line.
You can set the word to remove in the Variable $DelVar and the file to check in $File

How to remove a line from the output with a .bat file?

I have a utility (myexefile.exe) which outputs a list of information like this:
Line1=[Information in line1]
Line2=[Information in line2]
Line3=[Information in line3]
Line4=[Information in line4]
, etc.
I use a .bat file to write this information to a text file like this:
set myexefile="c:\myexefile.exe"
set outputfile="c:\outputfile.txt"
%myexefile% >> %outputfile%
However, I would like to write all of the lines except for the line containing "Line3=".
So I want the output to the outputfile.txt to be:
Line1=[Information in line1]
Line2=[Information in line2]
Line4=[Information in line4]
, etc.
I could probably create the file as it is and then use an existing sample which shows how to remove a line from a text file, but I would rather skip the line in the first place, rather than writing it to a text file and then removing it.
Can someone help me with this?
%myexefile% | find /v "Product ID">> %outputfile%
should filter out any line containing Product ID
setLocal enableDelayedExpansion
set outputfile="c:\outputfile.txt"
for /f "delims=" %%a in ('c:\myexefile.exe') do (
set out=%%a
if "!out:~0,4!" NEQ "Line3" echo %%a>>%outputfile%
)
or alternatively -
set outputfile="c:\outputfile.txt"
for /f "delims=" %%a in ('c:\myexefile.exe') do for /f %%b "delims=:" in ("%%a") do if "%%b" NEQ "Line3" echo %%a>>%outputfile%

Batch file to create multiple variables from single lines in a text file

I have a text file with the names of computer names and corresponding static i.p. addresses in the following format.
COMPUTER NAME:PC ADDRESS=154.100.1.1 MASK=255.255.254.0
COMPUTER NAME:PC2 ADDRESS=100.100.1.1 MASK=255.255.254.0
I would like to take the values from each line and put them as variables in a batch file for use later. Is this possible? The overall goal is to have the values from this easily edited text file to be used in netsh commands in another batch file.
I've looked around and found ways to take lines of a text file and place them in one variable using the snippet below. However, I do not know how to create multiple variables from one line. If someone could help me with this I'd greatly appreciate it!
#echo o
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
set Counter=1
for /f %%x in (D:\COMP_T.txt) do (
set "comp!Counter!=%%x"
set /a Counter+=1
)
This should work:
#echo off
setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
set "Count=1"
for /f "tokens=1,2,3,4,5,6,7 delims==: " %%A in (C:\File.txt) do (
set "%%A[!Count!]=%%C"
set "%%D[!Count!]=%%E"
set "%%F[!Count!]=%%G"
set /a "Count+=1"
)
:: Call other batch script here.
endlocal
Example Output:
COMPUTER[1]=PC
COMPUTER[2]=PC2
ADDRESS[1]=154.100.1.1
ADDRESS[2]=100.100.1.1
MASK[1]=255.255.254.0
MASK[2]=255.255.254.0
Here is a solution that avoids the need for delayed expansion. It uses FINDSTR to insert a line number followed by : at the beginning of each line. The search string of "^" is guaranteed to match every line in the file.
The only other issue is to set TOKENS and DELIMS to parse the line properly.
#echo off
setlocal
for /f "tokens=1,4,6,8 delims=:= " %%A in ('findstr /n "^" "d:\comp_t.txt"') do (
set "comp%%A=%%B"
set "addr%%A=%%C"
set "mask%%A=%%D"
set "counter=%%A"
)
To use the set of variables in another batch file, line by line, just parse the lines as done in other answers here, and call the other batch file with the metavariables.
#echo off
for /f "tokens=1,2,3,4,5,6,7 delims==: " %%a in ('type "File.txt" ') do (
echo "computer_name=%%c"
echo "address=%%e"
echo "mask=%%g"
Call "batch script" "%%c" "%%e" "%%g"
)
