Solve : Remove/replace characters in strings (command line/batch)?

Answer» SET variable=%variable:old string=new string%

example

set string=BACON and eggs

to replace bacon with ham:

set string=%string:bacon=ham%

(ie delete bacon and replace with ham)

%string% is now:

ham and eggs

to REMOVE a character wherever it occurs

set string=abracadabra
set string=%string:a=%

(ie delete a and replace with NOTHING)

%string% is now:

brcdbr

You can use a new variable or reuse the old one

set breakfast=SPAM spam spam and spam
set lunch=%breakfast:spam=jerky%

%lunch% is

jerky jerky jerky and jerky
