copied!<p>The <code>for</code> loop you have there executes that script and runs for every line the script returns. Basically this means that your environment variable <code>%ScriptOut%</code> contains only the <em>last</em> line of the output (since it gets overwritten each time the loop processes another line). So if your script returns</p> <pre><code>a b c </code></pre> <p>then <code>%ScriptOut%</code> will contain only <code>c</code>. If the last line is empty or contains only spaces iot will effectively delete <code>%ScriptOut%</code> which is why when you do an</p> <pre><code>echo %ScriptOut% </code></pre> <p>you'll only get <code>ECHO is on.</code> since after variable substition all that's left there is <code>echo</code>. You can use</p> <p>echo.%ScriptOut%</p> <p>in which case you'll be getting an empty line (which would be what <code>%ScriptOut%</code> contains at that point.</p> <p>If you want to print every line the script returns to a file then you can do that much easier by simply doing a</p> <pre><code>cscript C:\MyProj\Sources\SearchString.vbs > C:\ThreePartition\Sources\myfile.txt </code></pre> <p>or use <code>>></code> for redirection if you want the output to be appended to the file, as <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/737098/return-a-value-from-batch-files-bat-fileto-a-text-file/737146#737146">Stanislav Kniazev pointed out</a>.</p> <p>If you just want to store the last <em>non-empty</em> line, then the following might work:</p> <pre><code>for /f "delims=" %%a in ('C:\MyProj\Sources\SearchString.vbs') do ( if not "%%a"=="" set ScriptOut=%%a ) </code></pre> <p>which will only set <code>%ScriptOut%</code> in case the loop variable isn't empty.</p>
