Batch Split String to individual variables -

windows batch: split string individual characters variables

trying in function of own.

i have 4 digit number trying split distinct variables if there way work doesn't know how many variables using prefer that. following code far.

rem @echo off setlocal :start set /p nstore="enter 4 digit store number:" call :split nstore n1 n2 n3 n4 :pass2 echo %result% echo %n1% goto :eof  :split <nstore> <n1> <n2> <n3> <n4> (     setlocal enabledelayedexpansion     set "tmpstore=!%~1!"     set "count=0"     :loop     if defined tmpstore     (         set tmpstore=%tmpstore:~1%         set /a count+=1         set /a pos=%count%-1         set n!count!=!str:~%pos%,1!         goto loop     )     endlocal     goto :pass2 ) 

when call :split keep getting error "the syntax of command incorrect". right trying :split store 4 digit "store number" variables. if store number 9876 expect n1 = 9 n2 = 8 n3 = 7 n4 = 6 variables. question being wrong code errors out.

@echo off setlocal rem @echo off setlocal :start set /p nstore="enter 4 digit store number:" call :split nstore n1 n2 n3 n4 :pass2 echo %result% echo %nstore% %n1% %n2% %n3% %n4% goto :eof  :split <nstore> <n1> <n2> <n3> <n4> setlocal enabledelayedexpansion set "n4=!%~1!" endlocal&set "n4=%n4%" set "n1=%n4:~0,1%" set "n2=%n4:~1,1%" set "n3=%n4:~2,1%" set "n4=%n4:~3,1%" goto :eof 

you don't need send destination parameter names subprocedure. send %nstore% instead of nstore avoid needing invoke delayed expansion

...actually, could avoid delayedexpansion using

for /f "tokens=1,2delims==" %%a in (`set %1`) if /i "%%a"=="%1" set "n4=%%b" 

if using delayedexpansion, need endlocal... make value of n4 available outside of setlocal/endlocal bracket.

theremainder of code self-evident. aren't setting result, that echo resolve echo hence provide echo-status report. i've changed second echo provide list of of variables in question.

and of course there's no checking done input data of length 4 or of only-numerics.
