Windows Server - parsing interface list from netshell

Asked By Petr Laznovsky

Hi there, I am beginner in the CMD scripting.

I want to get interface list, each iface into each variable. I have two
problems with this. My command is:

for /f "tokens=3,* delims= " %i in ('netsh in sh in') do echo %i %j

I am use local (Czech) language version of WXP and the tranlation of
nesth use two words for loopback ("zpetna smycka" something like "loop
back" with space between those two words). When I try to parse it, there
is problem with delimiter bacause there are two words for loopback in
the column "TYPE", something like this:


Admin State    State          Type             Interface Name
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Enabled                       Dedicated        dummy
Enabled                       Dedicated        Local Area Connection
Enabled                       Internal         Internal
Enabled                       Loop Back        Loop Back

Second probles is I have no idea how to push ecach line of output (name
of each iface) into separated variable.

Any ideas??

When I run the command
for /f "tokens=3,* delims= " %i in ('netsh in sh in') do echo %i %j
then my console output looks radically different from yours, even when
allowing for linguistic differences. I am therefore unable to give you a
solution that is guaranteed to work for you. And while I appreciate that the
Czech translation of "loopback" generates two words, I do not understand
what you are trying to extract from the console output.

The code below is an example for your second question: How to assign each
line of the screen output to a variable. The text file d:\temp\test.txt
contains the exact console lines that you posted in your note.

@echo off
SetLocal EnableDelayedExpansion
set Line=0
for /F "delims=" %%a in ('type "d:\temp\test.txt"') do (
set /a Line=!Line! + 1
set Var=%%a
echo Line!Line!=!Var!
)
