windows - Parsing string in batch file

Question

I have the following string:

MyProject/Architecture=32bit,BuildType=Debug,OS=winpc

I would like to be able to grab the values 32bit, Debug, and winpc and store them in variables named Architecture, BuildType, and OS to reference later in the batch script. I'm normally a Unix guy so this is new territory for me. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Answer 1

This should do it:

FOR /F "tokens=1-6 delims==," %%I IN ("MyProject/Architecture=32bit,BuildType=Debug,OS=winpc") DO (
    ECHO I %%I, J %%J, K %%K, L %%L, M %%M, N %%N
)
REM output is: I MyProject/Architecture, J 32bit, K BuildType, L Debug, M OS, N winpc

The batch FOR loop is a pretty interesting piece of machinery. Type FOR /? in a console for a description of some of the crazy stuff it can do.
