I have a batch file and contains two perl codings and for Example:
MyBatchfile:
rem This perl coding input is Filename output as an number.
perl -w E:\Testing\PerlFile_1.pl %1
Need to save the number and produce the same as an input for the second script.
rem This perl coding input is as number from the previous perl script.
perl -w E:\Testing\PerlFile_2.pl %1
How do I pass the output (Number) from first script into the second script as an input.
You can get the output of a command using:
for /f "delims=" %%p in ('myCommand goes here') do (
set myVar=%%p
)
REM here myVar has the output of the command issued in the above loop
REM assuming that %1 represents the paramter here, I replaced it with the variable above
perl -w E:\Testing\PerlFile_2.pl %myVar%
for /f is used in batch to parse either the contents of the file (in (filename.extension)), a string (in ("myString")) or command outputs (in ('myCommand')). Note the differences in quotation used to determine which one is used.
%%p is the loops parameter and will hold the value of the current iteration. This will be the value in your case. However as this will only exists during the loop we save it to a variable for later use.
for /f "delims=" %%p in ("perl -w myscript1.pl %1") do ( set myVar=%%p ) perl -w myscript2.pl %myVar% echo
for /f: "[...] or command outputs (in ('myCommand'))" You have to use single quotes. And I don't know what the echo at the end is for ^^
