Hello my trusty WebDeveloper family!
I have yet another Batch file scenario to present to ya if someone would be kind enough to assist me.
The following is only an extraction of a larger, master bat file (it's also a dummy mock-up so excuse the crazy "echo"'s):
@echo off
title Server WMIC
:redoo
cls
set "storee=c1000"
set "test1="
REM FULLL WMIC BELOW
rem wmic /node:%store1% csproduct get Vendor,Name,IdentifyingNumber /format:list
echo.
echo.
for /f "tokens=1,2,3" %%A in ('wmic /node:C1000 csproduct get IdentifyingNumber /format:list ^| find="="') do set test1=%%A %%B
echo.%test1%
rem pause >nul 2>nul
ping -n 10 127.0.0.1 >nul 2>nul
:endd
echo.
echo.
echo.
echo.
echo.
echo.Closing application. . .
ping -n 10 127.0.0.1>nul
I know those more skilled than I already know what the above does but I like to describe it anyway lol.
It populates the IdentifyingNumber from a server named "C1000". I will reciprocate the same thing to "vendor" and "name" from WMIC if this works but IdentifyingNumber is most imperative.
I would like to convert the returned string name "IdentifyingNumber" into the string name "SerialNumber" (or "Serial#" if the hash/pound symbol is allowed).
However, I cannot seem to come up with the code to do such. I tried in a different test batch file to do an "if exists" clause but i cannot separate the "text=text" from the string even if i do several %%A %%B %%C (because "identifyingnumber=123456" is all one string).
Since my IF statements aren't that great I yet know if you can do wildcards in a statement like "If test1 =="*" (set test2=SerialNumber)..." I've tried If "test1=", if "test1 like blah" but apparently batch doesn't work like SQL. lol
I cannot find a good online resource (outside of webdeveloper) that teaches the "==" and other operators else I'd prob have learned a resolve.
I hope this made sense and if it didn't I will gladly clarify. I am just flat out of ideas on how to achieve this result, if it is even possible. If the desired resolve is not possible I do apologize for the inconvenience.
Thanks,
Andrew
