Replace the letter P with a percent symbol: One other advantage of DelayedExpansion is that it will allow you to replace the % character, it will still have to be escaped as %% but the replace action will then treat it like any other character: Rename a set of files (fred001.txt – fred999.txt) with a different prefix, this is similar to but more flexible than a wildcard rename,įor %%i in (fred*.txt) do set "_=%%i" & ren "%%i" "!_:fred=wilma!" Use the syntax: !_variable! instead of %_variable% The examples above assume the default Expansion of variables, if you are using DelayedExpansion then you can modify variables within a single loop/expression. ::Now remove this from the original string :: first delete 'brown' and everything before it :: To delete everything after the string 'brown' SET _test= The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog :: a two step process and requires the use of a CALL statement
:: To remove characters from the right hand side of a string is
::Replace the character string 'ab' and everything before it with 'XY' ::Delete the character string 'ab' and everything before it ::Replace the character string 'ab' with 'xy' Used for all the following examples: ::Replace '12345' with 'Hello ' The variable _test containing 12345abcabc is Using both an asterisk and setting NewStr =null will enable you to construct a left$() or right$() function using this syntax. NewStr can be left blank to delete characters, alternatively include ECHO: in NewStr if you need to generate a CR/newline in the output: " StrToFind" can begin with an asterisk, in which case it will replaceĪll characters to the left of "StrToFind". Param_ext cannot be %* which typically represents a whole set of parameters, but this is easily worked around by setting a variable =%* This Edit/Replace syntax can be used anywhere that you would use the %variable% such as ECHOing the variable to screen or setting one variable = another. Param_ext : Any filename Parameter Extension. NewStr : The chars to replace with (if any). StrToFind : The characters we are looking for (not case sensitive). Use the syntax below to edit and replace the characters assigned to a string How-to: Edit/Replace text within a Variable
