using FINDSTR

Hi

I have a litte problem using FINDSTR.

In a file TXT there are lines wich start with space characters:

      CompanyName = MyCompany

I use FINDSTR for filter CompanyName    FINDSTR /c:"CompanyName ="
but i would erase the space character.

Thanks in advance.

Re: using FINDSTR

Findstr cannot erase characters, but batch file can help:

FINDSTR /c:"CompanyName =" "file.txt" |repl "^ *" ""

This code above uses a helper batch file called `repl.bat` (by dbenham) - download from:  https://www.dropbox.com/s/qidqwztmetbvklt/repl.bat

Place `repl.bat` in the same folder as the batch file or in a folder that is on the path.
