I'm nebiew for windows scripting. My scripts would seachs string in the file, if counted the string and checking return code in if then else statment. But, I have question, some error on if then statment show [%i] was unexpected in this time.
@echo off
cd C:\script\
for /f "tokens=3" %%i in ( 'find /C "ANR2034E" checkout.txt' ) do ( echo %%i )
if [/I] [%%i] == [1] ( echo %%i ) else ( echo No ) )Furthermore, May I integrate if statement in the for loop?
example:
for %%i in ('command') do ( if [/I] [%%i] == [i] (command) else (command))1 Answer
@echo off
cd C:\script\
for /f "tokens=3" %%i in ('find /C "ANR2034E" checkout.txt') do ( echo %%i if [%%i]==[1] ( echo %%i ) else ( echo No )
)The error was because you had /i after the if within square brackets. In any case /i (case insensitivity) is not required because you've used find /c which will return only an integer.
As you can see, the if condition can definitely be included within the for loop.
