Hi,
I have a variable assignment problem inside the DOS script for loop. It never assigns the value, its always blank. Below the sample code
@echo off
set ans=%1
SET STRING=%ans:"=%
echo Parsing the string "%STRING%":
for /f "tokens=1-2" %%a in ("%STRING%") do (
set Word1 =%%a
echo Word 1: %%a
echo Word 1: %Word1%
set Word2 =%%b
if %%b.==. (Set server =\\.\pipe\mssql$microsoft##ssee\sql\query ) else (Set server =%%b)
)
echo Server name "%server%"
sqlcmd -s %server%
value of %%a is not assigned to variable Word1. But when i echo the %%a, it shows the correct value. As well in the last empty value check if condition, the server variable never set. I am very confused here. can someone help me out??
P.S: input to the script is any 2 word string (ex: a.bat "l dev-server")
Cheers
