SubRoutine for WMIC that removes headers and blank spaces.

Does anyone have a subroutine that will remove the header and blank line of a wmic output? My subroutine in this script only work with certain queries. I would like one that will work with all wmic queries.

Code: Select all

if exist C:\scripts\citrix_install.txt del C:\scripts\citrix_install.txt


For /f %%a in (C:\scripts\computerlist.txt) do set node=%%a &call :citrix_install 

:Citrix_Install

For /f %%b in ('wmic /node:%node% service where name^="IMASERVICE" get name 2^>^&1') do call :[b]subRoutineCitrix[/b] %%b 

:[b]subRoutineCitrix [/b]
If /i {%1}=={} (
               goto :EOL

) else if /i {%1}=={NAME} (
               goto :EOL

) else If /i {%1}=={No} (
                  Set IMAservice=No 
                  goto :DOC

) else If /i {%1}=={IMASERVICE} (
                   set IMAservice=Yes
                   goto :DOC
)
:DOC
echo %node%,%IMASERVICE%,>>C:\scripts\citrix_install.txt
if defined %node% set node=
if defined %IMAservice% set IMAservice=


:EOL

The "FOR" command drops blank lines (whether you like it or not) and you can skip lines at the top with one of the command options. Something along these lines, perhaps?

Code: Select all

for /f "usebackq tokens=* skip=1" %%a in (`WMIC COMMAND HERE`) do echo:%%a

This is output I am getting. The variable is not getting set. This make me believe there is a blank line being passed to the variable. Could you please test?

Thanks

Code: Select all

D:\>for /f "usebackq tokens=* skip=1" %a in (`WMIC service where name^="browser" get name`) do set Service=%a

 :\>set Service=Browser

D:\>echo %Browser%
%Browser%

You'll probably get a better result if you replace the last command with "echo %Service%"

LOL... I missed that. It working now.

Anyways the skip part for command was what I was missing. I did not know that the output of the command between () was handle as if it were a text file once it was completed)

I have the issue with this code in a script

Code: Select all

For /f %%a in (C:\scripts\computerlist.txt) do set node=%%a &call :citrix_install 

:Citrix_Install
For /f "usebackq tokens=* skip=1" %%b in (`wmic /node:%node% service where name^="IMASERVICE" get name 2^>^&1`) do set IMASERVICE =%%b
This the results output

X:\>For /F "usebackq tokens=* skip=1" %b in (`wmic /node:server2 service where name="IMASERVICE" get name 2>&1`) do set IMASERVICE =%b

:\>set IMASERVICE =IMAService

:\>set IMASERVICE = <-for some reason it keep blanking out the variable here.

Get rid of the space before the equal sign and see what happens.

I think there's some strange CR at the end of the WMIC output. This should work (it works for me, at least):

Code: Select all

For /f "usebackq tokens=* skip=1" %%b in (`wmic /node:%node% service where name^="IMASERVICE" get name 2^>nul ^| findstr "." `) do set IMASERVICE=%%b
