Extracting a string from logfile

[mblm07]

Hi Folks,

From the following logfile I am trying to extract "NetWorker savegroup: (notice) index completed" to a variable - I have tried lots of variations using find & findstr but have had no success.  Can anybody point me in the right direction to achieve this.

Mar 27 14:36:18 moses: NetWorker savegroup: (notice) index completed, Total 1 client(s), 1 Succeeded. Please see group completion details for more information.
Mar 27 14:36:18 moses: Succeeded: moses
Mar 27 14:36:18 moses: saveset moses:C:\DELL: percentage of inactive files by count: 50.00, by space: 39.61
Mar 27 14:36:18 moses: Start time:   Fri Mar 27 14:35:51 2009
Mar 27 14:36:18 moses: End time:     Fri Mar 27 14:36:18 2009
Mar 27 14:36:18 moses: --- Successful Save Sets --- Mar 27 14:36:18 moses: * moses:Probe savefs moses: succeeded.
Mar 27 14:36:18 moses:   moses: C:\DELL                    level=full,    401 KB 00:00:04     16 files

Many Thanks,
Matt.

you could try this script:

Code: [Select]

@echo off
for /f "tokens=*" %%a in ('findstr "NetWorker savegroup: (notice) index completed" logfile.txt') do set returnstring=%%a
echo %returnstring%
pause

Hope this Helps
