DOS batch command variable

[sambat]

Depending on the frame rate (29.97 or 59.94) I want to apply different processing paths to .wtv files.
With MediaInfo CLI, I can get the value into a text file, but I can't figure how to get it into a variable to process further.

"MediaInfo.exe", "--inform=Video;%%FrameRate%% " "C:\Users\Superuser\Desktop\dance.wtv" > "C:\Users\Superuser\Desktop\test.txt"

Check the Windows help for the FOR /F command (type for /? on the command line). If you would post the meidainfo output file I could be more specific.

The contents of the output text file is 59.940

[_Al_]

set /p fps= < "C:\Users\Superuser\Desktop\test.txt" 
echo %fps%

set /p input=type anything here:
normally asks for some user string input, and it will store that string in input variable, but when you give it a text like in that line above, it is done automatically

Much obliged.
I was getting nowhere until you steered me right.

@ echo off
"MediaInfo.exe", "--inform=Video;%%FrameRate%% " "C:\Users\Superuser\Desktop\dance.wtv" > "C:\Users\Superuser\Desktop\test.txt"
set /p fps= < "C:\Users\Superuser\Desktop\test.txt"

if not %fps% == 59.940 goto test29
echo %fps%

:test29
if not %fps% == 29.970 goto eof
echo %fps%

:eof

Just a hint. When comparing strings using variables, it's a good idea to include some character(s) in those strings to avoid errors in case the variables are empty. In your example, if %fps% is an empty string you'll get an error because the left part of the comparison can't be empty.

So, you should use instead:

IF NOT "%fps%" == "59.940" GOTO test29
or
IF NOT [%fps%] == [59.940] GOTO test29

I used "" and [], but, in fact, you can use almost any characther. This way, if %fps% is empty, the left part of the comparison would be "" or [].

Noted and I have made the change; thank you.
