Parse specific strings (2 strings) from multiple text files from a folder - batch-file

Question

I am trying to parse multiple lines which starts with:
Procedure = xxxxx::xxxx
Description = xxxxxx
Also, I want to ignore SH Library Procedure = $(Stem)_test which has same word Procedure in the .txt file.
I want to search all *.txt files and accumulate date in output file which I will use to upload in req management tool.
Here is the sample of the file:
Harness Lib Greenhills BLD Add Excluded Files = FALSE
Harness Lib Template Project File =
Harness Lib Generated Project File =
Harness Lib Generate Compiler Project File = FALSE
SH Library Procedure = $(Stem)_test
Harness Lib Source Lists Add Excluded Files = FALSE
Harness Lib Substitute Unused Source Files = FALSE
Macro Standard 1 = Set TBRUN_MACRO_STANDARD_1 in Testbed.ini
Procedure = sander_class::sander_class
Member Of = 1
Creation Date = Jun 21 2019 14:36:44
Description = This test is to verify that constructor is called. Req Tested: 67060-SWINTR-73
I have tried below code, but it does not print Procedure and in specific format.
#echo off
(
for /f "tokens=1,*" %%a in ('find "Procedure =" ^< "TEST.txt"') do (
for /f "tokens=1,*" %%d in ('find "Description =" ^< "TEST.txt"') do (
for /f "tokens=1,2 delims=#" %%c in ("%%b") do (
echo(Procedure %%~nxc
echo(
echo(Procedure %%a
echo(
echo(Description %%d
echo(
echo(Path: %%~pb
echo(
)
)
)>"output file.txt"
pause
I need output in below format for all the files (.txt) in same folder:
File Name =
Procedure = sander_class::sander_class
Description = This test is to verify that constructor is called. Req Tested: 67060-SWINTR-73

Answer 1

#ECHO OFF
SETLOCAL
SET "sourcedir=U:\sourcedir"
SET "destdir=U:\destdir"
SET "filename1=%sourcedir%\q57185510.txt"
SET "outfile=%destdir%\outfile.txt"
(
FOR /f "tokens=*" %%a IN (
'findstr /R /b /C:" *Procedure =" /c:" *Description =" "%filename1%" '
) DO ECHO %%a
)>"%outfile%"
GOTO :EOF
You would need to change the settings of sourcedir and destdir to suit your circumstances. The listing uses a setting that suits my system.
I used a file named q57185510.txt containing your data for my testing.
Produces the file defined as %outfile%
I used the one specific file for testing; for all files then set filename1 to a filemask like *.txt.
The findstr looks in all files matching filename1 for lines that /b begin with /r regular-expressions /c:"regex-string" the "regex-string". "regex" here is a small subset of regular expressions, but the particular expressions of interest are for instance Space(any number of)ProcedureSpace= which matches the two lines in question.
The tokens=* suppresses the leading spaces, producing the required lines.

Answer 2

Okay, This should do it but I can't test at the moment.
#(
ECHO OFF
SETLOCAL EnableDelayedExpansion
SET "_FilePath=C:\Admin"
SET "_FileGlob=*.txt"
SET "_MatchRegex1=Procedure =.*::.*$"
SET "_MatchRegex2=Description = .*::.*$"
SET "_ExcludeRegex=^SH Library Procedure =.*$"
SET "_OutputFile=%Temp%\output file.txt"
)
FOR /F "Tokens=*" %%A IN ('
DIR /A-D /S /B "%_FilePath%\%_FileGlob%"
') DO (
SET "_FileName=%%~nxA"
SET "_CurrentFile=!_FileName: =_!"
FOR /F "Tokens=1*" %%a IN ('
FindStr /I /R
/C:"%_MatchRegex1%"
/C:"%_MatchRegex2%"
"%%A"
^| FindStr /I /R /V
/C:"%_ExcludeRegex%"
') DO (
IF NOT DEFINED !_CurrentFile! (
SET "!_CurrentFile!=Found"
ECHO.File Name: !_FileName!
)
ECHO.%%a %%b
)
)>> "_OutputFile"
PAUSE
I will have to come back through and write up exactly what is being done in more detail if needed.
Essentially I am just using a loop of a DIR command to find all of the .txt files in all directories and subdirectories under the given path.
Then I parse that pull out the file name portion and create a variable I can use to match if the file has already been parsed before so that we only print the file name once.
I don't want to print file names at all unless a match was made because I don't think you care to see long lists of files with no matches, but if you prefer that the logic to test if the file name was found previously can be removed and you can just spit out the file name in the first loop
The second loop is looping the results of running a FindStr command on the given file found in the first loop and matching the Regexes which should mean at least two entries per file more if there are more procedures.
FindStr allows sRegex Matches and /V means to exclude any string that matches and pass the rest.
