how to insulate a string inside a .txt via batch

[marcorocchini]

Hi

and the cats.

However - please how can I insulate the only string (in this case) "0x9D5B4936" in a example.txt like ?

thanks a lot

     Serial #: 
  Fingerprint: 0x9D5B4936

         Name: 
        Email: 
       Phone#: 

      Company: 
      Website: 
      Address: 
         City: 
        State: 
          Zip: 
      Country:

output should be simply

0x9D5B4936

Easy, it happens exactly after "Fingerprint: " and before the carriage return/line feed.
Search for those elements and get what is in between.

Btw, I think you mean isolate.

awk "/Fingerprint/{ print $2 }" example.txt
0x9D5B4936

This code uses awk to filter on the text Fingerprint and print the second field $2. Blank space is used as the field delimiter

awk "/Fingerprint/{ print $2 }" example.txt
0x9D5B4936

This code uses awk to filter on the text Fingerprint and print the second field $2. Blank space is used as the field delimiter

is it for Linux?

however is there a way using windows and the command "for" "delims"?

This is for windows. For Linux, the call is a little different.


Download the attacked file, unzip and place in the same folder as example.txt. (It would be infinitely better if you actually place the awk.exe in your windows path)


Run the code as is.

awk "/Fingerprint/{ print $2 }" example.txt

Next go to youtube and study more about awk.

PS : you need to be in the terminal command prompt mode. Hope you know how to do this ... at bottom of windows display enter CMD and cd to the location where the example.txt is located. Still don't know how to do this then ask google ==> command prompt mode

wow thanks, is works

awk.exe "/Fingerprint/{ print $2 }" "%UserProfile%\AppData\Local\Temp\example.txt"

it returns correctly:

0x9D5B4936

but only a thing. And if I need to copy this value on the clipboard? can do this directly from the batch?

In a batch script, you can do can pipe it (|) to another process or save to another file (>) like below

awk.exe "/Fingerprint/{ print $2 }" "%UserProfile%\AppData\Local\Temp\example.txt" >  "%UserProfile%\AppData\Local\Temp\result.txt"

Or just use Control C to copy and Control V to paste

Pipe the output to clip.
