I'm trying to run the for command at the command prompt to delete all my files that have the text "< cd_comiss>P< /cd_comiss>" , assigning them to a %%e variable, but it returns me that %e was unexpected at this point. Could someone help me?
Note: I'm navigating to the folder I want to then run the command.
for /f %%e in ('findstr "<cd_comiss>P</cd_comiss>" *.*') do del %%e
For the form you are wanting to execute just change the form you are using the variable, instead of using %%e use %e :
for /f %e in ('findstr "<cd_comiss>P</cd_comiss>" *.*') do del %e
Just to clarify, variable usage is different when you want to run directly through the Prompt or execute a batch file.
When run directly from the prompt use: %e
How much per batch file, use: %%e
As you guide the documentation, in free translation:
{% Variable | %% variable}: Required. Represents a parameter replaceable. Use the% variable to run from the command. Use the %% variable to run the for command within a file in batches. Variables are case-sensitive and should be represented with an alpha value, such as% A,% B or% C.
See the here documentation.
