Did you try "Daily ADMNDEV002 SQL disk-only" in the text file.
----- Original Message ---- From: "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: NT System Admin Issues <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, April 8, 2008 3:32:23 PM Subject: Windows shell script question I have a script that looks like this ... FOR /F %a IN (List-of-Daily-Full-Groups.txt) DO mminfo -avot -q "group=%a" -r "client,pool,volume,name,group,savetime(22),ssid,ssflags,clflags" 1>>Volumes.txt ) Now, the file "List-of-Daily-Full-Groups.txt" looks like this ... ADMNLTS003 Daily ADMNDEV002 SQL disk-only The loop works fine for the value ADMNLTS003, but dies on the 2nd entry. Apparently, it's stopping at the first space, so the loop is executing as: mminfo -avot -q "group=Daily" -r "client,pool,volume,name,group,savetime(22),ssid,ssflags,clflags" 1>>Volumes.txt 6095:mminfo: no matches found for the query So what I need to know is ... how can I restructure my FOR loop so that the value read from the file doesn't stop at the first space, but instead is the whole line? (or until the delimiter <CR>, I guess). I tried puting a special delimiter character at the end of each entry ("ADMNLTS003\"), but can't seem to figure out how to then strip the delimiter out of the variable ...
