      This is a very complicated problem. It would probably be too complex for batch.  You could always make a list of words and their parts of speech and then loop through the lists until you find your word, then assign it.  This would take a long time, and ultimately, due to the complexity of English, turn out wrong answers most of the time.  You may want to look into a different way to learn grammar.  I would recommend reading lots of books.

        Code: [Select]
        for /f "tokens=* delims= " %%A in ("TEXT") do (
        CODE
        )
        each word will be represented by %%A , %%B , %%C , %%D ...

        OR

        you can use:
        Code: [Select]
        for %%A in (TEXT) do (
        CODE
        )
        it will then run the code for each word, using %%A as the variable.


        EDIT:
        If you plan on altering any veriables within the for loop, you need to use 'setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion' and refer to them as !var! instead of %var%.

                      if not exist "%%A" goto notexist
                  )
              )


          Don't quite understand what you are doing with the individual words, but %%A will be the whole line (that you are working with), and %%B will be the current word that it is running.  Make sure that you have 'goto :eof' at the end of :exist and :notexist otherwise it will run both sometimes.

          tendude,
          Why do you want to do this in DOS batch?
          Yes, it can be done. But batch was make many years ago for limited needs taht existed at that time. Somewhere back in the 1980s I recall.
          Presently Microsoft recommends users make use of advanced tools provided by Microsoft and others. Except for very basic things, like making copies of selected files.

          What you are doing is string manipulation. This is better done with VBScript or Win script.  May I suggest the OP look at this:
          Getting Started with Windows Script Host and Vb Script
          But if you prefer Batch, pardon me.

            setlocal=enabledelayedexpansion

            Nobody has picked this up. It's

            setlocal enabledelayedexpansion

            and anyhow it seems to be used as a kind of magic incantation, or as "cargo cult" code, since no delayed expansion has been called for in any of the code in this thread.

                echo %%a

                )
                will only act upon the first word in each sentence of "%input%"

                Quote
                "input" should be "%input%"
                This was my fault, I was working off the assumption that %input% was the line, not the file name. You are correct in that regard.

                try
                Code: [Select]
                for /f "delims=" %%A in ('type "%input%"') do (
                    for %%B in (%%A) do (
                        echo %%B                                                                                   
                        if "%%B"=="" goto nothaveit
                    )
                )
                the 'for /f' will go through the file 1 line at a time, and then feed that line into 'for' for it to work though, word by word.  This should allow your code to act upon every word in the document.

                EXAMPLE:

                  and all the word show perfectly...

                  and next

                  how can i save each word in to word.txt?

                  echo %%B >> word.txt            does't work

                  Do you want them still in the sentence line? or do you want them each on their own line?

                  echo %%B >>word.txt
                  should create/edit a text file called word.txt with 1 word per line

                  if you have echo %%A >>word.txt after the first close parentheses ")" then it will write the whole line to word.txt


                  also: Just noticed this, but this will not remove punctuation from the word, so it will read "himself" and "himself," differently.  I would recommend asking someone else for a .vbs script, that will change this, as I lack the knowledge.

                    thank you

                    actually, each one of word will be save as a list + code

                    example

                    "I washed the car yesterday"

                    save in to word.txt as a list+code and look like this

                    "

                    if "%word%"=="I" set CODE
                    if "%word%"=="washed" set CODE
                    if "%word%"=="the" set CODE
                    if "%word%"=="car" set CODE
                    if "%word%"=="yesterday" set CODE

                    "

                    how to save each word and became like that?

                    i try this script

                    for /f "delims=" %%A in ('type "%input%"') do (

                            set "output=%code%%word%%code2%"
                            echo %output% >> "word.txt"
                            echo word " %%B " now save         
                            if "%%B"=="" goto somewere
                        )
                    )

                    :somewere

                    pause

                    if "%word%"=="I" set CODE - i apart this line into 3 set

                    if "%word%"=="I" set CODE

                    set "code=if "%word%"=="" part one

                    set "word=%%B"                  part three

                    set "code2= set CODE"         part two


                    and this 3 set became set output

                    set "output=%code%%word%%code2%"

                    hope became like i want...

                    how to separate text? line? and paragraph?

                    example

                    As a describer of life and manners, he must be allowed to stand perhaps the first of the first rank. His humour, which, as Steele observes, is peculiar to himself, is so happily diffused as to give the grace of novelty to domestic scenes and daily occurrences. He never "o'ersteps the modesty of nature," nor raises merriment or wonder by the violation of truth. His figures neither divert by distortion nor amaze by aggravation. He copies life with so much fidelity that he can be hardly said to invent; yet his exhibitions have an air so much original, that it is difficult to suppose them not merely the product of imagination.

                    1) you are using the veriable word twice in there. also, you need to enable delayed expansion because you are changing veriables within a for loop. to do this you need to use 'setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion' then surround your veriable names with ! instead of %

                    Exp:
                    Code: [Select]
                            set "output=%code%%word%%code2%"
                    becomes
                    Code: [Select]
                            set "output=!code!!word!!code2!"

                    2) you are getting the ECHO is off. error because %output% refers to the value of output before the for loop started, which consequently is nothing, so you end up running echo as 'echo   >>"word.txt"

                    3) Try running the help for the 'for' command 'for /?' or 'help for'.  you will want to pay special attention to '/f' and "delims".

                      1) set/p should be set /p (with a space)
                      2) the goto SOMEWHERE needs to corresponded with a flag ":somewhere"
                      3) how do you plan on storing this information?

                        actually i dont know yet...now i just thinking to solve other problem...

                        --------------------------------------------------------------------------

                        for /f "delims=" %%A in ('type "%input%"') do (
                            for %%B in (%%A) do (
                                echo %%B

                        :set

                        :save

                        how to make each word/%%B goto :set and next goto :save...

                        echo %%B just echoing all word at the end, did goto :save and next goto :save...

                        i try this
                        ------------------------------------------------------------------
                        @echo off
                        setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
                        set /p input=file name with (.txt)  :

                        :loop

                        for /f "delims=" %%A in ('type "%input%"') do (
                            for %%B in (%%A) do (
                                echo %%B
                                goto set
                        :set

                        CODE
                        goto save

                        :save

                        CODE

                        goto loop

                        ---------------------------------------------------------

                        each its going back to loop, it will be same word...the first word

                        example

                        "I wash the car yesterday"

                        goes on the screen becomes

                        I
                        word " %B " now save
                        I
                        word " %B " now save
                        I
                        word " %B " now save
                        I
                        word " %B " now save
                        I
                        word " %B " now save
                        I
                        word " %B " now save
                        I
                        word " %B " now save
                        I
                        word " %B " now save
                        I
                        word " %B " now save

                        output on word.txt becomes

                        if "%work%"=="%B" set CODE
                        if "%work%"=="%B" set CODE
                        if "%work%"=="%B" set CODE
                        if "%work%"=="%B" set CODE
                        if "%work%"=="%B" set CODE
                        if "%work%"=="%B" set CODE
                        if "%work%"=="%B" set CODE
                        if "%work%"=="%B" set CODE
                        i just a new guy who still learning from stuff i try to do, the best learning way is do it...

                        this is how i would write that, but there are different ways of doing it that still work.
                        Code: [Select]
                        for /f "delims=" %%A in ('type "%input%"') do (
                            for %%B in (%%A) do (
                                echo %%B
                                call set "%%B"
                                call save "%%B"
                            )
                        )
                        goto :endLoop

                        :set
                            CODE (using %~1 in replacment of %%B)
                        goto :eof


                        :save
                            CODE (using %~1 in replacment of %%B)
                        goto :eof

                        :endLoop
                        rest of program
                        OR
                        Code: [Select]
                        for /f "delims=" %%A in ('type "%input%"') do (
                            for %%B in (%%A) do (
                                echo %%B

                                REM set
                                CODE

                                REM save
                                CODE

                            )
                        )

                        The good thing about the first code is that you don't really need to use 'setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion', but it also requiters you to have an exit or it will rerun :set and :save with no input, which could cause errors.  The 2nd code however is very difficult to debug, especially when it gets long.

                          1-

                          call set "%%B"
                          call save "%%B"

                          its doesn't work

                          on the :save and on :set not recognize %%B

                          i try using loop on this script

                          :loop - goto :save - goto :set - and back to :loop
                          but its just show first word...

                          call set word=%%B:~%j%,1%% , this is right way to use %~1 in replacment of %%B?

                          can you post your code? I'm having difficulty understanding what actually is happening in it.

                          code:

                              for %%B in (%%A) do (

                          echo.

                                  echo %%B
                                  call :set "%%B"
                                  call :save "%%B"
                              )
                          )
                          goto :endLoop

                          :set
                              echo :set %~1
                          goto :eof


                          :save
                              echo :save %~1
                          goto :eof

                                  That is not in the right place. What you want it to mean?
                                  Are your thinking about a CASE statement?
                                  Batch does not have a  CASE statement, not does it lend itself to a graceful way of making something like a CASE or SELECT structure.

                                    i put goto :eof because i dont want it run all not necessary script.

                                    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                                    i put value to each set

                                    set bI=1
                                    set bwash=2
                                    set bthe=3
                                    set bcar=4
                                    set byesterday=5

                                    went i run this script below

                                    if "%word%"=="I" do (
                                       set /a bI=%bI%+1
                                       set "bI=!tset! !tbword!=!bI!"
                                       echo !bI!>>"bword.txt"
                                            )
                                    goto :eof

                                    if "%word%"=="wash" do (
                                       set /a bwash=%bwash%+1
                                       set "bwash=!tset! !tbword!=!bwash!"
                                       echo !bwash!>>"bword.txt"
                                            )
                                    goto :eof

                                    if "%word%"=="the" do (
                                       set /a bthe=%bthe%+1
                                       set "bthe=!tset! !tbword!=!bthe!"
                                       echo !bthe!>>"bword.txt"
                                            )
                                    goto :eof

                                    if "%word%"=="car" do (
                                       set /a bcar=%bcar%+1
                                       set "bcar=!tset! !tbword!=!bcar!"
                                       echo !bcar!>>"bword.txt"
                                            )
                                    goto :eof

                                    if "%word%"=="yesterday" do (
                                       set /a byesterday=%byesterday%+1
                                       set "byesterday=!tset! !tbword!=!byesterday!"
                                       echo !byesterday!>>"bword.txt"
                                            )
                                    goto :eof

                                    ------------------------------------------------------------------
                                    this script should make each set +1

                                    from this                                                                  to
                                                                         plus 1 each of set
                                    set bI=1                       1+1=2                           set bI=2
                                    set bwash=2                2+1=3                           set bwash=3
                                    set bthe=3                   3+1=4                           set bthe=4
                                    set bcar=4                   4+1=5                           set bcar=5
                                    set byesterday=5        5+1=6                           set byesterday=6


                                    but output on bword.txt becomes like this

                                    set bI=2
                                    set bwash=2
                                    set bthe=2
                                    set bcar=2
                                    set byesterday=2

                                    you know how to solve this?
                                    i just a new guy who still learning from stuff i try to do, the best learning way is do it...

                                    Just remove all of goto :eof and it might work.

                                      This is as far as I can help you.
                                      This term
                                      "%word%"
                                      is a persistent entity in the code you gave. It does not wear mutilate or   change value by itself.
                                      When the test of
                                      ==
                                      meaning really equal to,
                                      is used, the result is exclusive for a persistent entity tested on unique values., but not null null values. You were supposed to learn that back in Programming 101 some time ago.
                                      Sorry, if you don't grasp this, I can not help you.

                                      The script you gave has blocks that are mutually exclusive,   so a break is not needed. Take out all the gooto.

                                        Try changing your set /a to

                                        Code: [Select]
                                        Set /a %var%+=1

                                        if "%word%"=="wash" do (
                                           set /a bwash=%bwash%+1
                                           set "bwash=!tset! !tbword!=!bwash!"
                                           echo !bwash!>>"bword.txt"
                                                )


                                        1. There is no IF .... DO in batch language. (Are you making the syntax up as you go?) I am amazed you have not seen lots of error messages (or are you running batch scripts by double clicking them?)

                                        2. To alter, or set and then read a variable inside parentheses you need delayed expansion. (Read about it).

                                        I suggest you read the documentation for each command or keyword, either from the prompt by typing the command followed by /?  (example: if /?) or you can use a site like ss64.com

                                        http://ss64.com/nt/

                                        Start with simple scripts and learn how each command or keyword works. You are just making up code by guesswork, and that will just lead to very long threads like this one.
