Tokens?

[tommyroyall]

After the "for /blah blah tokens blah blah blah" command, what would tokens be? Are those like characters in a word or something, or pieces of stored data?

All of your queries are not only nebulous in content but contain alot of blah blah blah...
What is your goal here ? ?

Have you tried the /? switch on FOR yet?

Tokens are the words of the input line.   The separator ( delims) may be a space or a "/" or other separators.

For example:


C:\>type  twodate.bat

Code: [Select]

for /f "tokens=1-4 delims=/ " %%d in ("%date%") do @echo %%f%%e%%d
Output:

C:\>for /F "tokens=1-4 delims=/ " %d in ("Wed 02/24/2010") do @echo %f%e%d

2402Wed
